TL-WA850RE : Range Extender Frequent Disconnection from main network
Dear Team,
It has been 5 months since I purchased TP-Link WiFi Range Extender TL-WA850RE, and since the beginning I am am having frequent disconnection issues with the main router. (Every ~5 minutes).
I have tried to go through a lot of online resources to help with the issue, and I have checked the following -
1. RE light goes off on the extender when it loses connection. Rebooting router/extender resolves the issue temporarily (a few hours), and the issue starts happening again.
2. Range Extender is placed at an optimal location. I have tried placing it even just beside the router, still the issue persists.
3. The Extender only supports 2.4G configuration (single Band), hence Band Steering issues are not present.
4. I have checked main router for Band Steering/WiFi Optimization, and such options are not present.
5. I have updated the Range Extender to its latest firmware.
6. I have attached an image of the status page when the issue happens.
Kindly suggest what other settings in Extender/Router needs to be changed for proper functioning.
Please resolve the issue at the earliest.
Thanks,
Neelanshu
For all future viewers facing the same problem -
Kindly change your 2.4G Channel to Channel 11. That completely solved my problem!
Thanks!
