RE200 Dropping Connections: After recent CenturyLink Router Firmware update
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
My setup has been in place for 12+ months and working great. RE200 and Centurylink CT100T router. Recently, Centurylink updated the firmware on the router and since then I have had wirelss dropping issues from my RE200. The most repeatable one is on my Roku TV using Netflix. It connects, you get to watch about 5 minutes of a program and then it loses its wireless signal. I updated all the firmware on my RE200 and the problem persists.
When this happens and I look at the RE200 log, I have DHCP messges of the WARNING level type. DHCPS:Lease host name not found. The RE200 will dump any connections it has and after about 5 minutes will reconnect with the Router and Wireless/Internet work again. But running Netflix will create the issue again.
At a loss.
RE200 log attached.
If the DHCP is finicky, you could look to assign a static IP address to the extender who it wont rely on the routers DHCP. Log into the router and look for the RE200's IP address, then use a web browser to log into the extender.
Set the IP address to be a number outside the DHCP IP pool range, subnet would be 255.255.255.0, and gateway would be the IP of the router:
