Range Extender restarts on every 5 mins
Range Extender restarts on every 5 mins
2021-12-27 21:40:33
Model: RE300  
Hardware Version: V7
Firmware Version: 1.0.8 Build 20211126 Rel. 67847

I bought Tp LInk Extender RE300 AC1200 Mesh WiFi Range Extender on Nov 27th, 2021. I am able to get more coverage at my home with speed of average 25Mbps, which is  a a satisfying speed for me. But the device is getting restarted every now and then, which very annoying. How can I solve the problem, I have tried different power sockets, but no luck yet. 

Please help!

Thank you for your feedback, can you help confirm some details to locate the issue: 

  • Can you help describe how the Led looks like on RE when issue occurs
  • the model of router ( firmware version of router)
  • Do you use RE300 (EU)V1 Firmware 1.0.8 Build 20211126 Rel. 67847

@Solla-topee 

Thank you for response.

Please find my response here,

  • Can you help describe how the Led looks like on RE when issue occurs
    • While the reboot happens, Only the Power LED is on and it is blinking. Usually back to normal after 1-2 mins
    • But the issue occurs very frequently, in an interval of 5-10 mins
  • the model of router ( firmware version of router)
    • Firmware version is RE300 1.0.8 Build 20211126 REl. 67847 
  • Do you use RE300 (EU)V1 Firmware 1.0.8 Build 20211126 Rel. 67847
    • I am not sure about RE300 (EU)V1, but the firmware version I can identify from the Tether app is RE300 1.0.8 Build 20211126 REl. 67847

Hello @sreejith824 

Thank you for the information. 

Do you have the model of home router (extender connects to Wi-Fi of your home router. )?  You could find the router model on router sticker.Thank you.

I reset RE300 yesterday, still no luck. I am worried whether I bought a bad product from TP Link.

Hello @sreejith824 

Thank you for the photo! After factory reset RE, if keep RE in factory reset state, if  do not connect RE to Wi-Fi router,  will it stop restarting? 

RESET: with RE powered on , press the reset hole until all the LEDs flash once.

Do not worry, if the device is diagnose as defective, you should be able to get a replacement with device warranty.  I will escalate your case, please check your inbox, thank you

I did the following steps,

1. Reset the device.

2. Connected laptop and a mobile to RE300 (wifi SSID - TPLink_Extender)

3. Device haven't restarted, waited for 30min.

 

Thanks,

Sreejith.
