Model: RE305  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: 1.0.4 build 210602 rel. 52659n

Hi, I recently purchase a RE305 Extender to be able to Extender my network shared by my Samsung S20+.

My issue is that the Extender cannot detect or even manually onnect to my hotspot if i'm setting it up on 5Ghz bande.

On 2,4Ghz bande, I have no issue except that the connections is around 50Mbps instead if 400Mbps in 5Ghz.

I don't know the Channel used by my phone to create the 5Ghz hotspot.

 

Do you have any Idea to resolve this issue ?

Thx

 Hello  @Minineo03 

It is very likely Samsung phone hotspot is on a Wi-Fi channel that is not supported by RE, here is thread for troubleshooting

Troubleshooting TP-Link Extender is not detecting the 5GHz Signal of the Main Router

It is suggesting to download a Wi-Fi scan app like ' Wi-Fi analyzer ' and check which channel the  Hotspot Wi-Fi is ON.

If it's an (EU)version RE it does not support Band4 channels due to CE certifications.

  @Minineo03 that should be the case, it was related to 5Ghz channel.  Thank you for your time with testing,
