Solution Wi-Fi Range Extender Causing Host Router No Internet
This Article Applied to
TL-WA850RE_V7;TL-WA855RE_V5
Issue Description
After setting up the extenders, users might notice that any device (laptop/desktop computer/mobile phone) trying to connect to the original router network is unable to connect. Over WiFi it says 'Connected, no internet' and for Ethernet connections, it seems to show it as an 'Unidentified Network'. Connecting these devices to the extender works fine. After switching off the extender, all the devices immediately work fine on the host network.
