Model: TL-WA854RE  
Hardware Version: V4
Firmware Version: 1.0. 12 Build 221109 Rel.31477n

When I plugged my WiFi extender in only 1 out of 3 devices connect to it.

 

My work laptop, an older dell has no problem connecting to the extender and appears to work fine.

 

My android phone will not connect and if it does it will say no WiFi available.

 

My personal laptop, Lenovo, will have both the main WiFi and the extender show up as options. However if I try to connect to either of these it will just say 'no internet secured'. Once I turn off the WiFi extender I am able to connect and have internet once again. Doesn't matter if I'm right next to or far away from either device. 

 

I have tried looking online but cannot find a solution. I have tried resetting, forgetting and reconnecting etc. 

 

They appear to have different IP addresses. Not sure what else to try if anyone have a solution.

Hi, welcome to the community.

May I know the model number of your host router?

And how long have you had TL-WA854RE?

Do you use the same SSID for both 854RE and the host router?

If possible, could you please set different SSIDs for them so that we can check whether your case is similar to the following issue:

Wait for your reply and best regards.
