Maruoneto,
Are you on the latest firmware? And are you on one of the three channels I mentioned?
It's been over a week now, and I still have not lost a connection on repeater mode!

I am on the latest firmware and on channel 1, repeater mode failed after 1-2 days, not even able to log on to the router, have to unplug and reboot the router to fix the issue.

Sorry I mis-read and thought you said bridge mode. Try that, it is working for me. They have told me that their new firmware will fix the problem when it is released. So we can switch back to repeater mode once we've upgraded.

I'm having the same problem trying to use the WR702N in client mode and repeater mode. It's connected to the network fine and all my network devices can access the web management page. It's just the WR702N will not ping anything external to my LAN (e.g. 8.8.8.8) which makes it pretty useless.

I bought this router today and am incredibly disappointed to find out it doesn't actually work as advertised.

Hi. Same problem. WR702N loses connection in repeater mode after a couple of days and only way to get any response from it is to reboot. Running the latest firmware and using wi-fi channel 1. Any idea when the latest firware with a fix will be released? Only purchased this for repeater mode so practically useles at the moment :(

Update 07/06 - for anyone interested, I logged this as a fault with tp-link support and got an email back yesterday with an updated firmware dated 27/05/2013 (interestingly not available within the downloads page on their website). I applied this firmware last night and will report back on whether this fixes the fault :)

I've been having the same issues as in this thread. Bought my tp-link about a month ago, but didn't want to return it, just want it to work. I've been waiting for an update to
fix the bug.

Hi oakeyt any chance you could email me the updated firmware dated 27/05/2013 please? as you say its not on the website as of 7-6-13 22:09.
