Model: Archer C24  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version:

Using as a Wi-Fi range extender it lost connection with the host router.

trying to reinstate the connection but the tether app is looking for the Wi-Fi of TP-Link_Extender which isn't showing as an available network 

The C24 is visible with the app and I can connect to it using the Wi-Fi of TP-Link_A69E

I've reset the host router and reset the C24, the power light is constant green.

The C24 works cable connected it to the host router.

Thanks Joseph,

I'd previously had no end of trouble using the web portal, and it was suggested I used your tether app which worked perfectly up until this last loss of connection. So I tried reconnecting with the tether app only to discover that the app no longer supports the C24 as a range extender. When I went to the web portal it was great to see it had been vastly improved since my last visit, and the C24 connected faultlessly.

Cheers,

Hello @ScottR-1963 ,

Welcome to our community.

 

If you want to set up the router to Range extender mode, it is recommended that you refer to Archer C24(EU)_V2_User Guide( from Page 12)

But if the connection is unstable, please refer to What if the Range Extender keeps losing connection?
