TL-WA830RE Extender Problems
Region : Argentina
Model : TL-WA901ND
Hardware Version : V3

Hi All,
here's wishing you all the best of this new year.
I recently decided to use TP Link for a job and it give me a lot of issues.
I finally got to this forum, read a couple of threads and eventually got the network up and running plus a quite stable internet access now.
I do have a little problem that is still unsolved though.
Equipments i have :
1 Huawei modem/router
3 wa830re range extenders
1 wa701nd access point.
what i have done:
i managed to connect all tp link devices to extend from the huawei router and they all worked fine.
then i did a factory reset because i have to configure them from the locations each device has to be place.
2 of the wa830re are extending from the huawei router and they work fine.
the wa701nd is hooked up to one of the wa830re and this works as well.
my problem now is with the remaining wa830re. from it's location, i can't hook it up to the huawei router due to poor / unstable signal strenght.
so, i'm trying to to hook it up to on of the other wa830re that has a better signal strenght in it's location and i'm already growing gray hairs over this.
the device just won't extend ! does this by any chance mean one wa830re cannot extend from another wa830re ?
i did uncheck WMM and short GI on all the devices as suggested by someone on here (thanks !).
set all devices on static IP, turned off DHCP (the router handles this) and enabled Ping Watchdog.
is there something i'm forgetting to do please ? i'm really stuck at the moment.
you prompt responses will be really appreciated please.
i might have gone against some rules, i do indulge the admins' / moderators' pardon.
Best regards,
