I am having trouble with losing my connection with the 9600. The remote had been working fine for the last year or so but started intermittently losing the connection about 2 months ago. It would usually reconnect after reseting the remote with the switch on the bottom of the remote. It has progressively gotten worse and I replaced my router with a new linksys WRT54G2 as my old router was about 6-7 years old and I thought that might be the problem. It has improved with the new router but I am still losing the connection every 3-4 hours. Currently, the only way I can reconnect is to power down both the 9600 extender and the remote and then power them up.
Listed below are my current settings
Remote IP address: 192.168.1.150
Extender IP address: 192.168.1.210
Home Network DHCP: 192.168.1.100-149
I have also placed the fixed IP address of 192.168.1.210 in the settings for the extender in the PEP V2 software.
Currently using WEP 128 but I have the same problems with no encryption
When I enter the diagnostics screen on the remote shows the following errors:
-Extender 0 didn't acknowlegde command (several times)
-Extender 192.168.1.210 didn't reply (2x)
I have pinged the extender and it checks out fine.
I am concerned I may have a faulty extender or remote. I would appreciate any other suggestions that might help.
Thanks,
Brett

what is your wifi timeout in the editor set for?
are you running latest firmware on remote and extender?

The timeout is set for 24 hours and the firmware is uptodate on the router, extender and remote.
thanks

I just repeated the ping test for the remote and I am having packet loss. There were 5 packets transmitted with only 2 received. I repeated this with the remote within a few feet of the wireless router with the same results. It shows good signal but is not receiving all of the packets. Does this likely mean the remote is bad?
I have a 9 and 10 year old who use the remote and it would not surprise me if it has taken a few knocks.

It has now lost the signal again and is now failing the Ping test completely.
