RE300 Failed to obtain IP address

2020-06-24 07:58:38

Model: RE300

Hardware Version:

Firmware Version:

Hello, just purchased an RE300.

All went well with installation via WPS and I managed to connect several devices to it. But a few hours later, ALL my devices started to report unable to connect. And the Tether app cannot see the device.

All lights on the device are showing white and i have reset the device several times, each time with no improvement.

Please help!

Steph SF

Hi Steph,

Do you mean all the LEDs on the RE300 are solid white when all the clients got disconnected from the internet? What kind of those devices?

Please check and ensure the RE300 firmware is the latest:

https://www.tp-link.com/support/download/re300/#Firmware

Additionally, please try to reset it and reconfigure it via the web GUI but not the WPS:

BTW, what is the brand and model number of your host wireless router? How far between this RE300 and the router?

Hi, thanks for getting back to me.

All lights are solid white

Have carried out a reset and have set it up again via the UI as per instructions. Initially worked, but then within seconds, link was lost and Failed to obtain IP address was reported again.

Cannot connect to the extender to get Firmware version.

Wireless router is a BT Smart Hub Type A and the extender is currently 4m away in clear line of sight.

My devices are Win 10 laptop, Win 7 laptop, Win 10 PC, Android phone and Android tablet.
