I have recently setup a small business network using 4 computers, 2 printers, one Dell switch, one router, one NAS and two wireless router extender (repeaters). I am using DHCP for all devices, with no management control on switch or router. All devices are WIRED, with only the extenders used by members for wireless connections.
Everything worked initially however now the computers periodically lose internet connection (limited) for no apparent reason. When I remove the wireless extenders (we are a small club so during busy times this will get a lot of connections from customers) the the computers gain access to the internet again. The only thing I can think of is the DHCP is somehow confusing the IP addresses allocated on the repeater router. Any ideas anyone?
I could introduced a managed system e.g. allocating IP addresses to each machine however I was hoping to avoid this.
