^ I'll try that next. Thanks
UPDATE: I've came to the conclusion that Edimax does not work well with dlink. I'm ordering a dlink AP right now. Thanks for the suggestions

I have a new Edimax EW‑7228APn which can be set for Wifi Repeater or Access Point(Ethernet bridge). I am using it as an Ethernet bridge for miners on a raspberry pi to connect to my dlink router. I set it according to set up disk and it only stays connected for a few hours before it drops connection until you restart it.
My dlink router is 192.168.1.1 (I have other wireless miners some are DHCP some static that work great connected to dlink)
Edimax came set 192.168.2.1
I changed Edimax it to 192.168.1.2 and also tried 192.168.1.245 (I think the problem may be here)
My miners on the raspberry pi are set to 192.168.1.97 static (the pi connects via Ethernet cable to Edimax and then wireless to dlink router)
Like I said the Edimax drops signal every few hours requiring a hard reset.
Any help would be appreciated. I do have basic networking experience, I'm just stuck on this one. Thanks
Note: Edimax is just one room over from dlink router.

Try setting it up with a IP address higher up with router being .1 setting it at .2 there is a good chance DHCP is given the .2 away to first connected client.My dlink router is 192.168.1.1 (I have other wireless miners some are DHCP some static that work great connected to dlink)

Try a IP like 192.168.1.50 or something. With that IP assuming it was a collision between DHCP and static IP's you should be able to connect without a problem.

^ I give it a try, so simple it might work.
Update: I'll give it a couple of hours and if it's good I'll pm you for reward address.
Update: still drops connection. Any more ideas would be great.

Could you not simply leave Edimax @ 192.168.2.1?
xxx.xxx.2.xxx is usually a more dedicated group than xxx.xxx.1.xxx because unless you have 255 connections to your router.
