Hi,

Due to load shedding I've had to revert back to using my old SpeedTouch 580 Wireless ADSL modem/router and it seems to be acting up.

When connecting my (Samsung) tablet via wifi, the router disconnects from the DSL connection. When this happens I have to restart the router and then it will connect. This happens every time the tablet moves from using the router's wifi connection point to the repeater connection point (or visa versa).

My phone has a similar problem when moving between the router and repeater in that it will not obtain an IP address unless restarting the router or moving back to the previous zone.

Any suggestions on what could be the cause?
 
I dont want to be that person but maybe you are tackling the wrong problem.
That device is like from 2005..
Buy a decent router and a small UPS problem solved.
