I have a TD-W8980 router in my house which I am very happy with and have had no problems with since installing, except that it doesn't reach far enough.

After installing the extender TL-WA860RE, the setup works, and I can access the internet for a time but after an hour or so the internet will cut out, the router no longer responds when I try to access the admin pages, so I cannot look at the logs to see what error occurred. I resart the router, and it fine, again for about an hour, and then the same thing happens.

I've searched these pages but I haven't seen a solution

Thanks

You mean even the router can't work about one hour?

How about change another wireless channel on your router?

Yes, on average it lasts about an hour, sometimes less and sometimes more.

I don't know what settings that are useful to provide...

The router was on auto channel, 11g, and auto channel width.

I also tried it on 11n, channel 1, and 40mhz channel width, same thing still happens

Thanks

Make sure the firmware of TL-WA860RE and your modem latest one.

How many clients are connecting in your home network?

If there are too many clients, try to decrease the number to see whether you can get them work properly.
