Hi there - I set up my Tenda MW6 system as per the instructions, so secondary nodes have the ethernet cable going in the correct port. The problem we have is when we move from room to room with the wifi. I can be in my office on wired ethernet, then disconnect and move downstairs with my laptop, and when I open the MacBook up, although it shows a connection to the wifi network, there's no external connection via wifi. The only thing I can do is turn the wifi on and off, which seems to rejig things. That said, if the MacBook is closed again, and then is opened up in exactly the same location in the house, the same thing happens and only gets saved by turning it on and off.
The primary is set to manage DHCP, QoS is off, no guest network, Fast roaming is on, automatic obtaining of DNS info on.
The only thing I can think of changing is to make the Virgin box handle the DHCP process, and move the Tenda into Bridge mode - do you think this will solve it, and if I do, given this network map, will it create any second-order probs?
