Hi

Just to check the ip information of your tablet, if the ip information is not correct, then you will surly not get the Internet access.

The DHCP server is used to configure ip information. In your network, it is the router that out to configure the ip conformation. So you should turn off the DHCP server of the extender and make sure the DHCP server of your router is enabled. To confirm the ip information of your tablet, you could connect your tablet to the router directly and record the ip information, then add the extender, and check the tablet's ip again, if the ip is not correct, you could have a try to set static ip information for the tablet.

What's more, since 850 is only a wireless repeater, and there is not much settings to change on it. So, you could do some changes in the wireless settings of your router, the channel, the bandwidth, and the wireless security rules (PSK/PSK, WEP). And then, re-configure the extender to adjust the new settings.

cheers


Many thanks again , will investigate these ideas , when I have time , its taken a back seat at the moment , busy busy , wishing you & yours a Merry Christmas :-)

Hello, everyone. I think it is because TalkTalk update their routers' firmware, so although we change nothing on the Range Extender, it becomes unable to access internet.

So who is your ISP? TalkTalk, BT, Oringe, ?
Are you using the following gateway routers? BThub, livebox, freebox, talktalkbox(i dont know whether there is such name..).

PS: Merry Christmas : )

Hi everyone
Sometimes the ISP make limitations in their routers ,which just the devices connectted to routers directlly can get the internet.
I had heared things like that.
When you have met this situation , maybe you need to contact with your ISP .
Hope this will be helpful.

So, you have mentioned that your router is a zyxel one, so now you are using a new router? it is a BT HUB?

Not if the router has some special mechanism preventing the extender to extend its Wi-Fi.

From your screenshot the WA850RE itself is definitely accessing internet as it says NTP and DNS success.

1. Do a last check on your client devices (your laptop, tablets, smartphone) --- when your client devices are connected to the WA850RE, check whether they obtains correct IP address and gateway address.

2. Log into the WA850RE via http://tplinkextender.net , run quick setup to configure it, but try mode 2(WDS mode) instead of mode1(universal mode). Give it a try
