@Kegarut-1 Hello,
1>Please verify your Wi-Fi password by forgetting your Wi-Fi network on cell phone first :
Go to Settings-> WiFi on your phone, Tap (or Long press the router's WiFi name ->Forget / Delete the network
Please reconnect to your router wifi and it will ask for a password, will it accept your router password?
2> factory reset tp-link range extender : press the reset hole for 10 secs with RE powered on
On cell phone Wi-Fi settings, connect to Range extender Wi-Fi first ( do not connect to router wifi or and turn off mobile data)
3> follow instructions on Tether app step by step ( carefully examine the Wi-Fi password you have put in, and it is recommended to create a different SSID/WiFi name for RE )
Here are some set up videos that may help:

If still failed the installation, may I know the Led status on TL-WA855RE after your installation?

1. I disconnected my router through forget network
2 . As soon as the extender is switched on my phone automatically connects to the TP link extender
3. I go to tether and it does not find the extender despite it being connected on my WiFi
4. tried disconnecting on my cell WiFi and instead connect through the app still it does not find it
5. The signal LED is pale and doesn't seem to receive significant
