Model: RE305  
Hardware Version: V4
Firmware Version: 1.0.50 Build 250821 Rel.58303n (6985)

Hello,

 

Connecting a smart thermostat (Netatmo) to the RE305 seems impossible for me. During the installation of the thermostat inside the Netatmo Energy application, I select my extended network, enter the password and then after a while the app says "Wrong password", this also happen when the RE305 is set the AP mode. I'm sure that the password is good, because :

 

* I can connect smartphones and laptops to the RE305 using the password successfully

* I can connect the smart thermostat to an old phone emitting an AP

 

The RE405 V4.0 use the last firmware : 1.0.50 Build 250821 Rel.58303n (6985). The RE305 extend a 2.4GHz network, SSID is different than my main network.

 

There's only one thing I have some doubt : the security mode is set to WPA/WPA2-Personal and I read that Netatmo don't like mixed mode but only WPA2-PSK. This option is not available on the RE305 webUI.

 

Any solution instead of buying a new extender not from Netgear ?

 

Thank you.

Hi,

 

Have you already tried "WPA2/WPA3-Personal" instead of "WPA/WPA2-Personal"?

 

Also make sure that during initial installation the device running the Netatmo app is connected to the same Wi-Fi network that is to be used for the thermostat. (i.e. the 2.4 GHz network of the RE305)

 

Other than that I can't think of anything else that could be done.
