We know the internet signal is strong (checked it & contacted the service provider who said it’s s table signal with no drop outs). Last Friday we paired the TP Link AC750 to the router – 4 good strong green lights appeared. We re-positioned the extender literally just to the other side of the wall (about 2 feet as the crow flies), plugged it on & it worked beautifully.
The TV in the bedroom recognised the signal & connected perfectly – however it WILL NOT remain on the TV & every so often it just says, ‘No internet’ or ‘not connected’. Max time it will remain before losing the connection is around 90 minutes. This morning we went the route of downloading the firmware via a mobile phone – the message came up – ‘Latest Firmware installed’ – however we re-installed anyways. All seems to be working fine. I have to nip out – so when I come back – I will see if it’s still connected. We hope so – as cannot keep having to re-connect. Any thoughts as to why it’s doing this?
