Hello  @_pbm_ & @Dude136 ,

May I know if you have tried resetting the RE705X and then configuring it for a new network?  Please press and hold the Reset button (may require a pin) for 1 second until all LEDs flash.

When you can see TP-Link_Extender 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

I have reset multiple times and checked passwords. I get as far as the 'Applying Settings' screen but when it gets to around 50% I get a 'No main network connection' screen. 
The extender worked fine until I installed a new modem.

Hello  @_pbm_ ,

Have you tried all the setup methods?  

How to configure Range Extender via Tether APP 
How to configure my range extender via web GUI (new logo)

How to configure OneMesh Range Extender via WPS button

 

Please provide as many of the following details as possible:

  • Detailed configuration steps
  • The distance between the extender and the router
  • The router's Wi-Fi information or screenshots of the Wi-Fi settings
  • The Tether app version, etc.

I have tried everything ...

My Foxtel iQ3 boxes don't connect to the modem either - Telstra finally gave up and are sending me replacement Foxtel iQ4 boxes

The Telstra smart modem 4 has a better range than the 3 model, so I will get by without the extender ...

Thanks for all the feedback
