No Internet on Range Extender or connnected clients

My range extender connected to Gargoyle is not getting internet. Same with the extender connected clients. Is there something that needs to be configured in the Gargoyle interface that I may be missing?

The repeater is probably setup incorrectly and assigning its own IP addresses to devices. In that case, Gargoyle doesn't see the devices. See my post in the QoS/extender thread.

The extender is a Linksys RE4100W. It does not have a DHCP server...it just extends the connected WiFi. This device worked properly with the TP-LINK firmware. I tried hard resetting and reconfiguring but it doesn't want to pass internet. The extender has a PING diagnostics option but pinging anything fails with 100% packet loss.
Also, how does this work with clients that have their IP address statically assigned? When they connect thru the extender, they show a MAC of the extender...not their statically assigned MAC.

Could you please post the output of the following command on the extender ?

Don't know how to run commands like that. The problem is with statically assigning addresses. I turned this feature off and I created a white list of allowed MACs. The extender started working again. As soon as I turn on Enforce DHCP Assignments, I lose internet to the device. The problem with using the white list is other devices that connect to the extender can now connect and get an IP even if they are not in the white list. I only want certain MACs in but the users here spread the password around. How can I only allow certain MACs to connect?

Oh... now that I remember, I think I also initially had a problem with "Enforce DHCP Assignments" on Gargoyle and had to turn it off for the repeater to work. Has worked great since then. Sorry had been a really long time.

This issue is happening again. However, this time it's not the Enforce DHCP Assignment setting. That setting is unchecked.
The extender connects and clients get internet through the extender after a reboot of the router but after a while...last time was about 4 hours, the extender loses its connection to the router. Rebooting the router resolves the problem temporarily but eventually, the same thing happens. Is there a setting in Gargoyle that I need to adjust that may be causing this loss?
Is there a way to move this post to Board index ‹Troubleshooting / Report Bugs ‹Network / Wireless Issues?
