How do I configure the DHCP/DNS/IP on my TL-WA860RE?

Hi,
I read through "Has connected to TP-Link extender but no internet, what can I do?", but I can't find a way to get to the page to configure the network client (DHCP/DNS/IP)..
I've tried using the TP-Link Tether app on Android and iPad and by going to the IP (192.168.0.254) in a browser, but the options simply say that it's all connected up ... except for the internet.
The router shows that both the 2.4 and 5GHz macs are connected, but neither have been assigned an IP address, despite me adding an IP reservation for the 5GHz one.
The firmware version seems a little old - maybe it just needs to update, but how can I do that without connecting it to the internet (instructions found ... unless there's other answers I'll have a good at that tomorrow)
There is a new firmware available at https://www.tp-link.com/en/support/download/re360/#Firmware, but it doesn't appear to list this fix - although I understand it's possible that not every fix is listed.
Thanks,
Tim
P.S. Both of the WiFi leds are on solidly, as is the power led.
Screenshot from Tether -
I found the page I was looking for when I connected with a cable and went to tplinkrepeater.net.
I setup this to match what my router is expecting, but it didn't solve the problem.
I then upgraded the firmware to 1.0.2 Build 20171226 Rel 33711(6985) and the problem remains.
I've even tried switching it off and on again :-).
Next up (in the absence of any other suggestions later today) I'll do a reset and start again with the updated firmware and using a wired connection for the config.
Update: reset, restarted config. using a wired connection. Readded static IP, etc. Still no internet.
Later,
Tim
