Range Extender NTP Request Information
1538 TP-Link is aware of a bug that has caused excessive NTP requests originating from our Range Extenders. All range extenders utilize NTP requests as a method to check for a live internet connection. This handshake is typical in networking equipment and is used as a keep alive measure. However, the NTP requests generated by TP-Link range extenders occur more frequently than necessary. This FAQ will provide updated information as firmware becomes available to resolve this bug.
