| Problem | Free Fix | |---------|-----------| | Can’t find “Wireless Repeater” option | Update firmware to latest from D-Link support site (still free).

Set DIR-868L’s LAN IP to an unused address in main router’s range (e.g., 192.168.1.200). | | Frequent disconnections | Move the repeater closer to main router. Signal strength should be >60%. | | Slow speed | Use 5 GHz backhaul if main router supports it. Avoid microwaves/cordless phones near either device. | dir868l repeater mode free
