Wn2500rp Connection
I installed my WN2500RP range extender quite easily and connected several computers to it. Everything worked fine. However after a few days it is impossible to get connected again to the extender although all lights on the extender are green and the 2G Ext network signal is very good. What is going wrong?
P.S. After resetting the extender it works fine again but only for a few hours or days.
