Model: Adapter  
Hardware Version: V3
Firmware Version: Firmware Version: 1.0.0 Build 20180314 Rel. 85916(6985/8575) Hardware Version: TL-WA855RE v3.0

Why is my TP-Link Adapter not working as a range extender mode, by contrast, it's connected smoothly as an access point?

I hope someone can help.

Good day,

May I know the model number of your home router?

And when you set up the TL-WA855RE as a range extender, would you see the RE and signal lights lit up?

If the lights all lit up but still no internet, please refer to this link to have a look: https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/198516

How long have you had the extender?

Thank you very much!

@TP-Link

 

Good day foe you. 

Signal indicator on my range extender is solid blue, and wifi icon keeps showing exclamation mark. 

 

Thanks you.
