Hello,

Having an intermittent issue with WR702N used in either Repeater or Bridge mode.

WR702N is extending WiFi from local router connected to the internet, in order to extend range. WR702N position is good in relation to the local router for signal.

The WR702N can be setup correctly to the local router in both bridge and repeater modes following user guide and quick setup.

Initially, the connection works and devices can connect.

However, after some time the connection seems to hang / freeze. There is no internet connection and the WR702N admin console can't be accessed (in bridge mode). In repeater mode this means NO device can connect and knocks all other deivces offline at the residence.

An android device will simply try to connect indefinitely in a loop and fail to authenticate.

Switching the WR702N off and on resolves the issue for a short time but it always returns after a few hours.

This is the 2nd WR702N I've tried, after returning the first unit for replacement.

Additional info:

- WPS is OFF on the router
- Security is WPA2-PSK
- Wireless Freq is 2.4ghz standard
- Channel is fixed on the local router, and is correctly matched on the WR702N
- Forcing the router and WR702N to use b/g modes only has no effect
- This issue is present using other routers / internet connections

Any advice anyone can give would be much appreciated. If not the WR702N will have to be returned. Shame as it's a brilliant little box when it's running fine.

Thanks in advance,

Bux
