Problem with wifi extender, cannot connect to internet
by kasiatutej from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5D3BT)
Hi,
I try to connect to internet with tp-link wifi extender(RE305), but when I get IP, I cannot connect outside router, firefox doesn't work, ping doesn't work...
I'm connected to isp with MiRouter, to which I connect with pci Wireless-AC 9260, and everything works ok.
But, I have to move my desktop to another room, where wifi connection is weak, so I put in the middle wifi extender.
All devices can establish connection with that extender: smartphone, tablet, windows laptops.
But I cannot connect to internet from Debian(Buster, current, 4.19.0-13-amd64).
I shared logs(syslog) from connecting to router directly:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kJ8...ew?usp=sharing
and when I connect with extender:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WFw...ew?usp=sharing
No error messages, logs looks rather ok.
But when I ping using extender I get:
$ ping google.pl

Thanks in advance.
