Folks, I wonder if you can help me. I think I’m reasonably adept at networking (although I’m starting to question that now). I’ve just purchased a new GLinet Flint2 router and want to use the GLInet MT300n v2 (‘Mango’) as an AP.
Have set the Mango into Extender Mode (WDS didn’t seem to work at all), connected it wirelessly to the Flint2, set the SSID to be the same, but it only half works. I can see it connects to the Flint2, I can see about 7Gb of traffic going through it, so some devices are connecting, but many are not. I know there’s signal there as my iPhone has full bars, but a whole bunch of devices just aren’t connecting.
I’ve done the usual, rebooted the devices, tried to reconnect them etc etc but they won’t come online. DHCP is coming from the Flint2.
I can’t tell though which devices are connecting to the Mango and which to the Flint2 because they are all on the same subnet.
It’s starting to drive me nuts as I can’t tell what the issue is. It can’t be signal strength as I’ve moved the Mango reasonably close to some of the devices that won’t connect. I’ve also tried 20MHz and 40MHz (and both), that doesn’t seem to make a difference either.
I’m looking for a genius to save the day (or tell me where I’ve made a horrendous error).
Thanks folks.
