HI Folks
I stumbled across this forum while googling my problem, it all seems a bit beyond my understanding but hopefully I can find a little help.
I recently got this router to replace an ancient netgear basic router that started to let me down alot.
Initally this Asus dark knight seemed to be flawless and set up was quick and easy. A week or two later though problems seemed to occur.
My set up is as follows.
We have satellite broadband which comes into the middle of the house at the same point the router is set up, there is also a PC plugged in at this point. Wifi in this part of the house appears under the name "Asus"
We then have 2 long leads running from there to my office at the far end of the house, one plugs straight into my PC for internet access, the other plugs into a TP Link range extender which gives me reliable wifi and appears on devices as "office" Both work flawlessly and have done since day one. A friend of mine who works in IT set it up for me so its been done by someone who knows what they are doing (unfortunately he was only visiting for the weekend as I live in rural Northern Ireland and he is back in England)
Finally we have our bedroom at the opposite end of the house (its quite a large, long old house with thick stone walls) We use another wifi range extender but this one is purely wireless, I have connected it exactly as the instructions specify and the light indicates its working properly.
The problem I have is that it can be very hit and miss in the far end of the house. If it just didnt work then I could work on a solution but it seems to work one day and not the next. We get alot of "authentication error" messages. Ive also had a situation where my phone was connected, but my kindle wasnt despite them being next to each other. I am able to get into the router control pages and have tried changing channels with no success.
As I live so rurally I dont bother with passwords or security so im assuming that is not a factor? Is there any settings I could change that might help, or even some sort of programme to try and identify the problem?
Its so frustrating as when it works, its brilliant but frequently we will have wifi in our bedroom at night, only for it to be gone when we try and connect in the morning.
I can provide any additional info that might be required and would be so grateful for any suggestions.
Thanks very much
Matt
