Model: TL-WA850RE  
Hardware Version: V6
Firmware Version: 1.0.0 Build 20190422 Rel. 52057(6985)

Hello!

 

I just have bought a TL-WA850RE range extender. It works fine with 2.4GHz wifi but cannot detect my 5GHz wifi. I tried to set my Speedport W724V router to wifi cahnnel 36+40 and 44+48 but it did not show any change.

 

 

 

It is weird that TL-WA850RE configuration screen shows only 2.4GHz Network title everywhere.

It is normal. The TL-WA850RE supports 2.4GHz only, that is why you cannot see 5GHz. 

 

There are some range extender supports 2.4GHz and 5GHz both. Like RE200, RE450, RE650. 

 

May it help.

@Kevin_Z  Ohh, I thought so...in this case, we stay on 2.4GHz. Thanks for reply!
