Repeater not compatible woth TP-link router?

I have a TPLink router MR3420 v3 (firmware3.16.9 Build 160412 Rel.45197n). And a Repeater Everest EWR-523N2.

The problem is that even though the repeater connects to the router (wirelessly), when I try to connect a device to the repeater it either can't connect (if a PC) or causes the repeater to disconnect (if an Android phone) from the router.

I tested the repeater at a friend's house with another router and also with my phone in tethering mode. In both cases the repeater worked and other devices were able to connect to it.

Could it be that the repeater isn't compatible with my TPLink router?

Things I've tried on the router:

  • Change channel

  • Change security type: WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, AES, TKIP (haven't tried WEP or no encryption)

  • Changed mode 11bgn, 11bg

  • Channel Width: 20 and 40 Mhz

  • Haven't tinkered with [Wireless Advanced settings]( http://ift.tt/2tU39ZX)

Things I've tried on the repeater:

  • Connect using wizard

  • Connect manually

  • Connect using WPS

  • Set the repeater IP address to the same as the Router subnet

Appreciate it if anyone has anymore ideas ☺️

certain keys on my keyboard dont work when "cold"

Hi guys, i have a Lenovo Y520-15IKBN (80WK) and certain keys on the keyboard don't work (e,g,h,8,9,Fn...) but only when the weather is cold. for example in the winter it used to work after certain amount of time when i first boot the laptop and stops working when i stop using it for a while, but now that the weather is hot it works just fine except for the first couple of minutes or when its colder. of course i do realise that it has nothing to do with the outside weather but with the temperature of the computer itself. can someone explain to me why this is happening and how it should be fixed as i cannot take it to the tech service until july even though it's still under warranty because i need it for school. ps: an external keyboard works fine.

Old PC with a Foxconn n15235 motherboard needs drivers! Help!!

So my Pc corrupted and I had to fresh install windows on it, but now its missing 3 drivers and one of them is for the Ethernet controller! I've tried searching everywhere for the windows 7 drivers but all I seem to find are some dodgey programs saying they will install it for me. Problem is without the ethernet driver I can't bloody connect to the internet. I've been using a USB to try get some drivers on there, but they just end up being useless programmes . I'm also a bit of a noob at these things, I don't understand where to find the names of things in my PC, I've opened it up but I don't understand whats significant and what isnt. If someone has the drivers and can teach me how to install them I'd be very appreciative! Submitted April 29, 2018 at 02:47PM by darrilsteady https://ift.tt/2r76xMZ
