@Tejas6119 

Good day,

Did the model number of your range extender, RE300?

And May I know the model number of your home router?

Could you please try to change the 5ghz channel on the home router to be channel 36/48?

Except the host router’s 5ghz, was the extender able to scan any other 5ghz network?

 Thank you very much!

@Solla-topee 

Yes, Model number of my range extender is RE300
Model number of home router is - Jio Fibre router. No model no given on the router
Not sure how to change the channel for 5ghz channel on the home router to be channel 36/48. if you can guide me then would be helpful.
Extender is able to scan my host router 5ghz but if i switch off the extender and when i again switch on the extender then extender does not scan my my host router 5ghz. To have my extender scan the host router 5ghz i have to reset my extender and then when i again scan then sometimes the host router 5ghz appears.

If you can provide me with  teh solution then it would be helpful.

@Gopa I am using TPlink RE305 extender. I am facing the same problem. TPLink extender does not detect the JIO routers 5G band. Earlier i had airtels Nokia router and i had no problem with that. But when i migrated to JIO, the TP link extender (RE305) is not able to detect 5G wifi network. Jio's 2.4Ghz network is working fine.

 

Pls suggect if theer is any solution for this

@MohanPoojary , good day, and nice to see you again.

 

Hi, All.

Sorry for the delay

Since I used to receive several feedbacks that some routers in India would fix the 5ghz channel to be 149(band 4) to get higher bandwidth, but RE305(EU) and re205(EU) or any EU extenders did not support band 4 (149-165).

Have you tried to contact the router support to see if they can help us change the channel from their side?

 

Thank you very much.

@MohanPoojary 

Was there any resolution to this issue from TP links side? I just bought an extender today and frustrated that it does not scan for my 5Ghz. What a waste of money. TP link should come up with a solution rather than expecting buyers to figure out with ISP's.

@ShashankB I dont exactly remember the solution. But i fiddled with the wifi names in the manual setup. I did not use the 
Quick start" option. Try adding the network manually and rename it (dont use the parent wifi name). Looks like the TP link extender gets confused with the other 5GH band in neighbourhood. Just a lame solution.... try doing it with other network is off....late nights or early morning.

@ShashankB 

 

Try doing this. Go to you host router settings page (in case of Jio fibre login to  https://192.168.29.1 and login. Default user name is "admin" and password is "Jiocentrum")

After logging in, click the search icon on top right and type 'basic'. You'll see basic configuration for 2.4GHz and 5GHz, you can change the channel there.

Select 5GHz band and change the CHANNEL to 44 and width to 80MHZ.

 

This should do the trick. Or best, try calling TPLINK helpdesk.
