”Perfect signal” but cannot find TP Extender in wi-fi’s

Model: TL-WA850RE

Hardware Version:

Firmware Version:

The LED light on the Extender has a constant light. The Tether app say it have a "Perfect signal", but the TP Extender network is not visible in the wi-fi network option list. Not on any phone or computer.

It happend suddenly, we have connected to the extender for several month, but now it's gone!

Someone know what could have happend?

@EvaK Hello,

Sometimes RE copies the SSID from router if you used WPS button to set it up, or if copy the SSID during set up.

Please change a different SSID / wifi name for range extender and see phone and PC or cell phone could see RE's WiFi?
