Model: RE205  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version:

TP-Link app instructions don't work on the wifi Extender. Not only did I not be able to find the extender on search, the QR code for the setup didn't work, the app also couldn't find my Telstra wifi. When I tried to connect through my wifi settings, it asked for a password, but there's no PW given for this extender. Basically a waste of time effort and money.

Hi@Deadextender,

Thank you for contacting our community.

 

May I know what is the password that you need? If it is the wireless password, please input the wireless password of the main router. Since the extender will use the same password as the router's.

 

For other scenarios: 
Scenario One: Forgot the login password to manage the extender.
    1. Try the default login password, which is often "admin".
    2. Perform a hard reset on the extender by pressing the reset button until the lights flash briefly. 
Scenario Two: Forgot the TP-Link ID password.
    1. Open the Tether app and select "Forget Password" on the login screen.
    2. Enter the email linked to your TP-Link ID and click "Reset Password," prompting a password reset email to be sent to you.
    3. Locate the email in your inbox, open it, and follow the steps to set a new password.

 

Best Regards~
