Couldn't get it to stay connected

Tried to set this up to connect to our office wifi. We have an AC1200 Office Access Point (looks like a smoke detector on the ceiling) just across the wall from here so the signal should be great. When first plugged in it worked fine for a few minutes, strong signal. Then he switched off. After that it only connected and disconnected for about 5 seconds. I've reset and restarted it multiple times on both Linux and Windows computers. Same problem. I tried using the installer software from their website, they couldn't even find the device. I tried setting it up late at night when the only active devices on the wifi network were my phone and a sleeping printer, so essentially idle. Doesn't matter. Software removed, device returned for refund. I ordered a more expensive one (different brand) that also works with the latest openWRT firmware if I don't like the factory software.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Almost everything is there
