[SOLVED] Weird connection dropping issues on wifi repeater

So I'm using a wifi repeater with a ethernet cable to my PC. It works pretty well, some irregular lag spikes etc. but sometimes I have these phases where my connection drops and only reconnects when I unplug the ethernet and plug it back in. I couldn't figure out what the problem is but now I realized that when I search ipconfig on the command prompt when it works I get this:

Ethernet adapter Ethernet:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::3873:2b07:3245:6cdf%17
IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.100.49
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.100.1

But when it doesn't work I get this:

Ethernet adapter Ethernet:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : ap.setup
Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::3873:2b07:3245:6cdf%17
IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.10.100
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.10.1

Does anybody know what this issue is and how I can fix it?
 
Solution
Looks like you need to disable DHCP on the repeater and put the repeater on the same subnet as your router (but outside the DHCP scope).
