@Solla-topee - Yes I did try that option manually entering the 5G SSID and add it to RE200. It's not working out as well. The SSID is also enabled for broadcast. PFA.

Hi did you got any solution for this, please let me know because i am also facing same problem.

@ASK_1234 - I spoke to Airtel technician and got the Channel to be changed from Auto to 36 and after that, it started working. However, I don't see any improvements over internet speed. 

@Solla-topee 

I am also facing the same issue can you please help if the firmware upgrade is there of something so that I can extend my 5G NETWORK

Hi, 

I got the same issue and it would not connect  for Airtel Modem. As per TP link customer care, the channel needs to be changed to 44. Airtel customer care team mentioned it is set as Automatic and this cannot be changed. So I am stuck with no solution.

@Soum  

Did Airtel agree to change? I was suggested this cannot be done? 

@MuralidharaRao - AirTel folks changed that to 36 for me and then it started working. However, speed was not improved. Just the range got extended. I switched back to auto mode as my purpose was not solved. 

@samsinghal 

Problem is with the WIFI channel. Since there is no option to change from auto, you need to try multiple times, probably at different hours, so that you are lucky enough and the channel selected by auto mode is compatible with RE200.

Since I faced the same issue, after few tries, I could find and connect to 5GHz  Airtel wifi.
