Model : TL-WA850RE

Hardware Version : V2

Firmware Version : 140826

ISP : Movistar

It's been 6 months since I bought a WA850RE v1.2 with the latest firmware (v.140826). Everything worked fine at first, my router is downstairs and the range extender could receive 3 lines of signal.
Recently, about 1 month ago, connection appears as a "Limited Connectivity" with a yellow exclamation mark and I can't access the Internet on my mobile devices.
The range extender lights are flashing and I've to reconnect the range extender so I can restore the connection. This becomes annoying when it happens twice a day several days a week.


What is the problem? Bad signal? Problems with the range extender? Everything worked perfectly at first so it seems strange that it's a conectivity problem.


Looking for help. Thanks.

It seems that "Limited Connectivity" and the flashing lights mean the router lost Internet connection.

Thanks for your answer, should I relocate it?

I'm having the same problem with the exact same TP Link range extender. I can confirm that my problem isn't with the router but with the RE itself. Every so often, it will simply drop internet access while my PC remains connected to the RE. I have to reset my wifi adapter on the PC (i.e., disable/enable) to solve the problem. It seems to drop roughly every 30 minutes or so. The RE is getting a great signal from the router and the router performs flawlessly.
