Ping times way too long - Inconsistent network behaviour
Model :
Hardware Version :
Firmware Version :
ISP :
I need to extend the network for a small shop that has three floors. The router is a 2.4 Ghz band only router but the 2.4GHz is so crowded, that I thought that it would be better to use the 5 GHz band.
So I bought 2 TP-Link AC1200 RE305 and followed the instructions. I configure both with the same WIFI name because I wanted everything to be the same network, I just wanted the WIFI network to reach the whole shop.
At first, everything seemed to go well for a couple of hours. Internet worked well and they could connect to their server (which is directly connected to the router via a cable)
But obvioulsy, it was only for a few hours because it started to go very, very, very slow.
Sometimes, if you disconnect the computer from the WIFI and you re-connect it, it will go well for a while but a few hours later, it will slow down or even stop working.
I guess I didn't configure it well but it is driving me crazy and I've read all the faqs around here and some posts and I still don't know how I need to configure this and how to make it work.
