hi ,i have the td-w8961nd v1 wireless model adsl router and it is workind wirelessly with all my android devices just fine.The problem is when i try to expand my wifi with the tl-wa850re extender.The connection and the setup between modem and extended is very easy and successfull and all my laptops and wireless devices connecting back and forth between the extender and the router just fine ....except my android devices.Android tablets and mobile phones can only connect once to the extender or the router.If i am connected to the extender and then move closer and connect to the router...then connection is not possible,obtaining ip forever or authentication problems (password is always right) and generally after swaping connection from extender to router ,the connection become unusable.My win7 laptop can change wifi connection from router to extender and back and internet always working just fine .With Android tablet and phone this is not possible.
The main reason that i bought the extender is to use it with android devices,please help. Thank you.

I had the same problem with Android devices connecting to tp link wifi range extender. Because there was no clear answer to multiple questions about this issue, I just want to say how it worked out for me. The crucial thing was (I think) to assign a STATIC IP to my tp link wireless range extender within the main router! I had to find out the MAC-address of my tp-link extender and manually assign a fixed (static) address to the device with this MAC-address in the main router. IThis is NOT related to the Static IP Mode of the tp-link extender - it should REMAIN in Smart Mode! And the last thing I did was to check the option "Translate DNS address" in the main router, but I am not sure it is absolutely necessary. Anyway, my android cellphone now works with this extender like a charm.
Can you tell me how to find out which is mi tp link extender mac address?
Thanks!
