Cant connect certain websites using TP-Link Wifi Repeater
I have bought this wifi repeater and try to connect to my router which the service provider is Maxis, after finished the setup. I can access the internet like facebook, youtube and gmail. When I try other sites like twitch, steam client app, and other sites from google, it cannot access and return "The site cant be reached" error. From my Steam software, it show internet disconnect although I still can browse the facebook from web browser.
Need some help on fixing this issues, is the roort cause of my router IP is not static?

With your device connected to the extender, try to ping these websites which you can not access and please show us the ping result.
What about other devices? Do they all have the same issue once they connected to the extender? Do they work well when they connect to the main router?
Please ensure that the firmware of the extender is the latest one.

Thanks for your valued reply.
While could you please re-offer the full screenshots of the settings-status page and the settings-network page? This time, please click the TL-WA855RE icon on the status page and show us all the information listed there.
Do you use the same wifi network name for TL-WA855RE as the main router? If so, you can change another name and connect your device to the extender to do a test again.
Besides, with your client connected to the main router, can you access these websites?
Thanks a lot.

Thanks for your valued reply.
From the picture attached, it seems that the extender failed to access internet.
Please update the firmware to the latest one first and configure it with the main router's wifi password.
https://www.tp-link.com/support/download/tl-wa855re/v4/#Firmware
After that, please verify whether it works; if still not, please show me a screenshot of the NO. 3-4 pages attached before. And tell me the model number of the main router.
May it help.

But my wifi repeater is V4, the latest firmware from the website provided is for TL-WA855RE V3. Should I download and install it?

It seems that the local website does not upload the firmware.
Below is the download link: https://www.tp-link.com/en/support/download/tl-wa855re/v4/#Firmware
You can install it and take some to verify whether it works.
May it help.

I have the same problem with the Wifi Range Extender RE200
The Internet status is still DISCONNECT.
I can only access to Google.com, Youtube, and it plays videos really fast.
but when I come to Google.com, click a page or type a web address, it doesn't work.
I have updated the latest version of RE200 V5 in my location (Europe) and the Internet status is still DISCONNECT.
Can you help me with this issue?
Do I need to change some settings of the ROUTER? It's hard for me because I rent a room in the big house and maybe the owner doesn't allow me to make some setting changes of the router.
