I did setup the Repeater successfully in Tether.

The repeater shows that its working properly (picture 1)

but when i try to connect my phone to this repeater wifi named Chukapi, its just loading (picture2)

i even wait it to connect for 2-3 minutes but it still cannot connect

i tried to restart my phone and reset the repeater but it still happens and cannot connect to the repeater.

This repeater i just bought yesterday, new 100%.

@Atn6 Hello,

Thank you for your detailed post.

It is recommended to confirm WA854RE is the on the latest firmware : (select hardware version first and download the latest firmware)

https://www.tp-link.com/support/download/tl-wa854re/#Firmware

Try a different device to connect to range extender WiFi and see if it could connect to RE's SSID.

It is recommended to set up a different SSID for RE from router's SSID.

Turn off Advanced settings on router like Access Control/ Parental Control/ Band steering like this FAQ: https://www.tp-link.com/en/support/faq/3143/

If the above does not help, may I know the firmware and hardware version of your RE. What is the model of your home router and the network topology, and also the model of your iPhone as well, thank you
