In range extender mode, you should connect to the network with the same name as your root wireless router. Sometimes, you may place TL-WA7300RE in a place where wifi signal is poor and try again.

Dear Ada, thanks for your response, but if you read my original post again, you will see that my range extender works for other devices than Apple and so the things you mention can not be the source of the problem.

I have discovered that other people are having the same problem - try an internet search and your will see this.

The solution I have found is to alter the security settings so that WPA2 is always used, rather than the "auto" setting that is the default. This seems to cure the problem for the Apple devices I have and the other devices I have seem to be compatible with WPA2 and so work also.

Thanks,

Leo
