Wireless Bridge/Repeater router keeps disconnecting
Posted: Thu Oct 22, 2020 6:17 pm
Hello,
In this post I finally found out I can't have a wire connection between two routers located in separate buildings because the ethernet cable buried underground is probably faulty.
So I am using Router 2 in Wireless Bridge/Repeater mode. But this works for a few days and then suddenly the SSID that it is rebroadcasting goes down. I know Router 1 doesn't go down because the guest network (which Router 1 is broadcasting but Router 2 is not repeating) stays up. Router 2 usually starts working again after turning off and on again.
Could this be some kind of a IP conflict and how should I troubleshoot it?
(And I thought I thought networking is easy.) Sorry about all the external links below. Forum says attachment quota reached.
