Hi@Vmurthy,

Thank you for contacting our community.

 

May I know what is the 5Ghz LED status on RE305? If it is off, here are some suggestions may help you:

Step 1: Verify you select and correctly enters the Home WiFi name and password on the range extender.
a. By forgetting Wi-Fi and reconnecting to the home Wi-Fi, enter the password again.
b. On iPhone, go to WLAN-> highlight the connected network name, and enter the iPhone's password to see the password.

Step 2: Confirm no settings on the router to block/pause the internet of the Extender, such as Parent Control, Mac Filtering, or Access Control.

Step 3: Suggest modifying the following wireless setting on the Main router if possible:
a. give different names for 2.4G and 5G Wi-Fi on the Main router.
b. fix 5G to channel 36.

Step 4: Locate the Extender close to the Router, in the same room as the router.
Step 5:  Reset the Extender.
Step 6: Re-configure the Extender again. Use different method to set up.

 

Best Regard~!
