Firmware Version:

Good day,

 

I have a strange problem when connecting my tp-link range extender to my existing network. 

 

I have a router that broadcasts a 5G and 2.4G network, I connect the extender to the 2.4G network, and as soon as I do that I have limited connectivity on the 5G network. Although the 2.4G network and extender, both have internet access.

 

What I have tried so far:

 

Setting the range extender to automatically obtain an IP address from the main router

Switching off DHCP from the extender to ensure an IP is assigned from the main router.

Hi, what is the hardware version of your TL-WA850RE?

I think you could try to install the beta firmware here to see whether it helped:

Wi-Fi Range Extender Causing Host Router No Internet

Best regards.

Hi David, 

 

Thank you for your reply.

 

Upgrading the firmware to TL-WA850RE(EU)_V7_1.0.13 Build 231115 does seem to have fixed the problem.

 

Thank you for your assistance.
