Hello,

I’m having a problem connecting my TP-Link range extenders to my Starlink Wi-Fi and I can’t figure out what is wrong.

I have a standard Starlink Gen 4 setup and I’m trying to extend my Wi-Fi using a TP-Link range extender (RE190 model). I also tried another one (RE305 model) from a friend, but I get the same issue with both.

I installed the TP-Link app and followed the setup process to connect it to my Starlink network. I also searched online and tried splitting the Starlink Wi-Fi into separate 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks to make the setup easier.

The extender appears to connect to the Starlink network during setup, but once it’s done, none of the Wi-Fi signal lights (2.4 GHz or 5 GHz) turn on. Only the power light is on.

When I connect to the TP-Link network created by the extender, there is no internet access at all.

I have tried resetting both extenders and repeating the setup multiple times, but the result is always the same:

Power light is on

No 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz signal lights

No internet access through the extender network

I’m starting to wonder if there is some kind of compatibility issue between Starlink and TP-Link extenders, or if Starlink is blocking the connection in some way.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, as I’ve been trying to fix this for quite a long time.

Thank you so much !👍🏻
