Extender Disables itself

Tags: #Network Connectivity #Firmware Update #Access Point Mode

Model: TL-WA850RE

Hardware Version:

Firmware Version: V7

I bought it a month ago, updated the firmware version and disabled the LEDs (no auto turn off/on)

Every day after running for more than 10-12h (something around that) The extender stops working (idk if it hides the SSID but it disappears and you can't find it when searching the WIFI bands). I have to unplug it and plug it back then it works for X hours and I have to repeat the process.

So far the worst TP-Link product I've ever bought and I bought many.

What can I do? Should I return it and get a different one (does this happen often in this model?) or is there maybe a firmware version that doesn't do that and I can reroll it?

Hi,

Please check if you have set up Power Schedule for the extender.

If the issue still exists, you can also reset it and reconfigure it. And also test with other power sockets.
