Got a new RE580D yesterday to extend my Archer C80's. After setting it up, it worked for a short while, an hour or so, and then stopped providing any internet access. I checked the other topics here already, set it up with a static IP and custom DHCP server, updated the firmware, and switched to use 5ghz instead of 2.4ghz but all leads to the same result. It has no internet access despite even the network page saying it does. Can't think of anything else I could do to make it work
@Solla-topee Hey,
Thanks for the quick reply.
All of them except the 5ghz are lit up in blue. Sometimes the last right one blinks to red.
By build number I assume you mean model number? That's RE580D (UN) ver 1.0. I have upgraded the firmware to the latest build available on the tp link website for the UN version: 1.0.0 Build 20171220 Rel. 57215
After setting it up the first time it worked for about an hour. The second time I set it all up using the manual DHCP server settings and it worked for about 30 minutes and then stopped again, returning to this state. When restarting it, it can randomly change between showing it has internet connection or it doesn't, but either time there's no actual internet connection.
Currently the internet is actually working on it despite the Extenders interface saying it is not. This changes randomly without any other changes in the network and at random intervals.
The archer C80 router does not see the RE580D in its list of connected DHCP clients despite it being the one providing wifi and ip address to the extender
I'm not sure what else I can try to fix it.
