Any progress on this?  ???

Ok, my Extender is at FW 1.01, so I guess I need to go through a rigorous testing process....upgrade Extender & see if stable with Router 1.11, then upgrade Router to 1.20.  At least, I can now down-grade the router successfully if it doesn't work!!

I'll work on this over the next few days and let you know the results.

Ever since I "downgraded" FW on the DIR890L to version 1.11, I have not seen the problem.

I have upgraded the DAP-1860 Extender's FW to 1.04 and have not seen the issue.

I don't plan on doing any other testing, since my WiFi network is now good enough around the whole house.

I'll pass this on to D-Link for review.
Thanks for updating.

The 1.20 firmware on the 890L did fix Wi-Fi security issues so maybe it is buggy with the extender. I can request a test with the techs.

Would be good to know if this is reproducible.  ???

GreenBay42, I really would appreciate you requesting further testing on this. I really don't want to run my DIR-890L Router on insecure firmware. When I reported this issue over 6 months ago, it was very reproducible!!

FYI, the older version of FW is not insecure, unless you run the 890L in AP mode. Its safe in router mode. I'm sure D-Link is working on testing and will get something planned for a fix as soon as possible. Please be patient.

The DIR-890L was NOT affected by the KRACK issue, BUT the 1.20 firmware fixed a bunch of exploits.

Mike, have you tried the 1.21 BETA firmware for the 890L?  I understand if you do not want to try since the crash recovery process on the 890L is less than fun.

I have a 1860 and will test tonight at home (with the 890L). I will let you know my results tomorrow.

I ran the 1860 (firmware 1.04) for 9 hours last night connected to my 890L (1.20 firmware) and did not receive any drops. I connected a camera and my phone (android) to the extender over night. It is currently at home with 2 mydlink cameras connected (they always send traffic to the mydlink servers so I will get notified if they drop during the day).

Sounds like I should try upgrading my 890L Router to 1.20 and see if I see my original problem again.  I was using FW 1.01 in the 1860 when I saw this problem originally, so maybe that was the issue.

Will let you know.

Yes definitely update the 1860 to 1.04. This includes the KRACK security fix where 1.02 did not.

I updated the Router (DIR-890L) to FW 1.20B01 last night.

So far I am not seeing any issues with client iPhone connected to WiFi through the Expander (DAP-1860), which has been at FW 1.04 for sometime, since I wanted to correct for the KRACK exploit.

When I first reported the issue, the Expander was at FW 1.01. 

I will monitor over the next few days and if I don't see any more issues, we can consider this closed out.
