TP-Link IoT Network on mesh extender
TP-Link IoT Network on mesh extender
So I just bought an RE300 dual band mesh extender to replace my old N300.
Unfortunately despite checking my C7 router supported one mesh it turned out I needed v5 hardware & mine was v4 :(
No problem, it was 6 years old & C80 on sale @ Amazon so set that up & slightly better speeds but the mesh network now worked.
I noticed the C80 had an IoT network setting so activated that & started setting up various switches etc. Except when I got to the end of the house with the new extender the IoT network was gone!
It appears that for some reason the extender's not replicating the IoT network even after restarting both the extender & the router. Pretty annoying as I then had to reset the devices I'd already added, as there's not much point having only some devices on a separate IoT network :(
Am I missing something obvious or will a mesh network only work for one network ID?

I have the same problem with the guest network specifically, really a disappointment.

@woozle i just inquried about the same issue! I bought an archer 9300 and a re315 because the new eero system was so much more expensive but i am having many issues so far with both my units. And then i come to find out after speaking with a tech that they offer the IOT but not with the extension....makes me want to go back to eero and just pay the extra money for the headaches..
