I have a RE200 extender connected to a router. (full connection line is: VDSL modem connected with WAN to a router. The router is connected to the RE200 with WiFi. Router is main DHCP server)
All indication lights on the RE200 are green (I'm connected with 2.4GHz only, so I have 3 lights - wifi, power and 2.4GHz) and I see a proper IP address on the router.
When connecting a device to the extender (I have the name different from that of my main router), I get a "Connected, no internet" message.
I have tried to change DHCP option into all available options.
I only get a connection when DHCP is set to "on" (in "Auto" and "off" modes, I can't even connect to the extender).
I even tried disabling the main routers DHCP option and set static IP's to each device while leaving the DHCP server "on" on the RE200.
Nothing works.
I can connect to the extender, but can't get internet access.
Tried contacting the TP-Link support team, but got no answer for this !!!
Anyone has any idea what's wrong ? It seems to me like some DHCP contradiction or something related to that.
PLEASE HELP !

@jmason86 I am pretty sure it is.
My guess is that the DHCP AUTO-MODE from the RE200 is malfunctioning.
You'll have to ask for a firmware upgrade in order to activate the button SHUT DOWN DHCP from RE200 (in repeater mode), in order to rely on Main Router DHCP server.

I was supposed to hear back from support by email 2 days ago but have heard nothing so I'm going to return this thing and replace it with another brand if I don't hear back today.

The same happens to me, it works fo a couple of days and after that it stopps connecting to Internet.
I sent 2 emails to the TP Link Support and they don't even respond to me.
I won't ever buy a tp-link device anymore. Bad product even worse customer service.

@Solla-topee I am sorry to get this standard answer. Tp-link doesn't care about its clients. You lost me as many other valuable clients because of the lack of support. The local support never provided a response.
