You add an Omni directional antenna that broadcast in all directions. TP-link has 15dbi Omni outdoor antenna.

Anyway, after I did the dhcp-> fixed IP -> dhcp thingy on the laptop, it seems to work fine now. Maybe I was just impatient and had to wait awhile longer for the network to settle (when moving from one range to another). I am not sure I understand why it works now, but it does. Thanks, Tj Hi Rob,

I think I did as you mentioned, at least once, also with the 'apipa result'. So I configured DHCP in range 192.168.1.60-100 or so on the DAP, while DHCP range for my AP is 20-40 or so, both in 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 lan. I am not sure about the IP for the DAP itself though. It might have been static set to .20 or so, while that was within the AP DHCP range... Might that be the problem? (don't see why it should as long as no IP conflicts are reported by AP) Maybe part of my problem is that the place I want to get better coverage, has this 1-2 bar coverage for the AP itself (in practice my IPAD does not get connection at all, and my laptop frequently drops connection). I do think that when the DAP/repeater is turned on, it will make sure that there is no connection setup with the AP itself, meaning it "overrules successfully" the signal of the AP at that location. I will try the idea you suggest. I guess it is worth a try if the laptop remembers the DHCP IP it already has from the AP, when I move "being connected" from AP coverage area to DAP coverage area... Can you also answer my questions around the Dap not being available anymore (via the browser) when the repeater setting is saved? Is that how it should work? Does it indeed mean that every time I want to try a different setting on the DAP, I first need to reset it, to be able to connect again? Thanks! @Rob

- You configured the dap with the static ip address which is not within the range of your router dhcp zone but still in the same subnet as the router subnet.

- you launched the setup wizard, select the repeater and click the site survey

- you enabled the dhcp of the dap with the range not to oeverlap with the router’s dhcp zone

- your clients still did not receive the ip from the dap (received the apipa address) even though you renewed using the “ipconfig /renew”

Have you tried this: provide a static ip address, reboot the laptop and then reconfigure the laptop to use the dhcp address. other words: release the dhcp setting, give the static ip, and then use dhcp again – place the laptop outside the range of the router but in the range of the dap. see if this will fix the problem.
