Hello@Spatty,

Welcome to our community.

 

Please check the extender’s working status,if only the power light is on. Please 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.

More details, please see TL-WA850RE(UN)_V7_User Guide .

 

Best Regards.

Reset the RE to its factory defaults and re-configure from scratch.

To reset press the reset button for about 10 seconds.

If the issue persists contact your local support for further assistance.
