Netgear WN 2000 RPT Wifi Extender drops connection all the time

I have a Netgear WN200RPT Wifi extender (repeater) connected to a Cisco router and it drops the connection all the time. After rebooting the Cisco router or the Netgear extender it works again for a while, which can be hours or days but then the connection gets dropped again.

It doesn’t give any errors, the distance between the WN200RTP and the router is OK, and so is the distance between the repeater and the computers.

What to do?

I also have the WN2000RPT and I had similar issues, I’ve solved it by enabling a hidden DHCP server. You can do it too:

Just keep the default settings and you should be fine!
