Model: TL-WA850RE  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I followed directions to link my TP-link to my router. It finds three options, but I can't choose any of them when I tap continue it goes back to searching for the device over again. Can't get out of the loop.

Hi @Ed56-85_ ,

Thank you for contacting our community.

 

It is recommended that you first hard reset the extender: With the extender powered on, use a pin to press the RESET button for 1 second. The extender will reset and reboot.

When you can see the default SSID on the Wi-Fi list, that means you have reset the extender correctly. Please configure it as below: How to set up a TP-Link Range Extender.
