+1 on range extender mode not working. I had never attempted to use it previously though.
I switched internet providers on Wed, Dec 13th. I didn’t really want to move my Almond+ to the new room where the new modem had to be located, but rather just wanted to turn it into a repeater with all my Z-Wave and wifi devices in place.
In Range Extender mode, t would connect, then disconnect... back and forth, with showing connection on the router screen up for 5-10 seconds, but then down for 10-20 seconds, this cycle repeating 3-4 times before it went down for good. I disabled the mode, then re-enabled the mode, going through the set up process again, but the results were the same.
Rather than downgrading the firmware, I simply moved it to be physically right next to the new U-verse modem/router combo, as it has enough range, so I don’t have to reconfigure any of my wifi devices.
