Model: RE605X  
Hardware Version: V3
Firmware Version: 1.1.5

I followed the setup instructions, I have 2 new wifi networks accessible, one for 2ghz and one of 5ghz. When I connect either of them I have access to internet BUT many services do not work. Such as reddit, skyblue and most applications that require internet. For example, I can't even find my extender in the connected devices in the tether application.

To give a bit more context, my router is a 5G mikrotik.
The extender is set to have intermediate coverage. DHCP setting set to auto in the extender.


I have tried the following already:
- reset the extender.
- update the firmware of the extender.

- update the firmware of the router. 
- DHCP is enabled on my router and the IP given to my extender falls in the range set on my router.

This is not a wifi range issue since I am able to connect to the extender wifis and access internet on chrome browser. It must be some sort of confirguration issue between the extender and the router.

please, someone help me.

Hi @Zouc,

Welcome to our community.

 

Please turn off the extender and connect the clients directly to the router's Wi-Fi. Test if you can use these services? If not, that means the router is causing the inability to use services.

You can contact support of the router for further help.
