TP-Link RE200 V2 issues
I bought a used RE200 V2 and had lots of trouble getting it identified by my SKY ER110. I have an earlier RE200 V1 bought new and that is solid. Connected and correctly identified by the SKY ER110 without and issue.
The RE200 V2 would show up as an UNKNOWN device on the list of "Attached Devices" on the SKY ER110 box. The first two bytes of the MAC address always showed up different to that printed on the RE200 for both the 2.4 and 5Ghz wifi interfaces. On a couple of occasions I would see the correct address for a short while, then back to the first two bytes going bad.
I even did a firmware upgrade hoping that would resolve this issue. The upgrade went perfectly without a problem but the above problems remained.
Apart from these issues, the device does work. Purchased to provide a wifi connection to my wired only printer.
