RE305 v3 Not able to connect to 5GHz host network
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
My host router from ISP Ziggo in Netherlands and the issue with RE305 v3 is only with connecting to the 5GHz host network on a secured mode. I changed the host router security settings between WPA2-PSK & WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK and suitably changed it RE305 extender, but no luck with RE305 getting connected on 5GHz network. Only if there was no security set in host router for the 5GHz connection, RE305 is able to connect on the 5GHz network and obviously that cannot be solution due to snooping / unsecure connection. When RE305 does the scanning it is able to find the 5Ghz netwok though. So don't suspect an issue with the 5Ghz channel settings either - it is set to 802.11 a/n/ac mixed mode on channel 48.
I had a different problem with RE305 v1 and exchanged the router with the retailer and just got a new one which was RE305 v3. In fact for 6 months had range extender setup working fine in RE305 v1, but two weeks ago it started giving the problem with no internet connection after you connect to the network on the extendeter. It's a pity that I now have a problem on day 1 with a new RE305 v3 version - does not go well with confidence on the brand
Firmware is also the latest and factory reset is also not helping. Seems to be a bug in the firmware to me (not able to deduce anything else). WPS mode also did not work fyi. Has anyone else faced the issue ?
If there is no solution to this, i might have to dump this all together and go for another brand

Good day,
Thank you very much for your time and patience.
Recently, we had some feedbacks about 5Ghz not detectable with HG8145V5 HUAWEI.
With the assistance of our customers, it is more related to the 5Ghz channel issue.
RE305(EU) did not support band 4(channel 149-165), only band1 (channel 36-48) yet, and HG8145V5 HUAWEI, most of the time is stuck on channel 149.
So it would highly be appreciated that you could contact the router support to change the 5ghz channel, such as channel 36;
Thanks a lot.

Same problem, RE305 can´t connect to 5ghz.
My router: Sagemcom f@st 5655v2AC.
Windows 10
Country: Spain
I tried all the things you´ve said: change channels, upgrade firmware (last version V.3),etc... nothing works. I can see other 5ghz connections, but not mine. My laptop and other devices are able to connect...so what can I do???
Thanks in advance.

@tesla-s3xy Try changing the encryption from "Auto" to whatever your main router is using, in my case "AES", then reboot the TPLink, remove the WIFI network (SSID) from your laptop, then re-add the WIFI network (SSID) and connect. The removal/re-add of the SSID might not be needed, but it was one of the steps I performed when I resolved the issue. All the other tweaking and tinkering didn't do anything.

Hi Kevin,
I'm facing the same problem with my new JIO Fibre connection and TP Link Extended RE 305 v3 where I can only connect to 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz fails to connect everytime even after resetting the extender multiple times. Can you help share the beta firmware ?

@VishalThakkar Hello,
May I know did you try the suggestions in Recommended Solution #50 on the first page of this thread.
Please change router's 5Ghz channel as suggested and update the firmware to the latest official firmware first, thank you.

@Machi23 Hello,
If the main issue is on firmware update, it is recommended to create a new thread, and share with us a link of the firmware which you are trying to update to.Please check the back label of your RE, is it (EU) or (US) version? It is better if you could attach a photo of back label.
For " I can't connect to the 5G Network" do you mean RE failed to connect to RE's 5Ghz wifi ?
