Model: Adapter  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 3.16.0 0.9.1 v6011.0 Build 200610 Rel.17155n

Hello,

 

I just had to change my home router and the engineer installed the TL-WR850N. My problem is I want to connect this to my TP-Link AC750 wifi extender via Tether, but they don't seem to be compatible. I cannot see any firmware updates available (probably because it's a custom model.) Perhaps I'm wishful thinking, but is there a firmware update that adds this support? I cannot understand why they wouldn't work together - come on TP-Link!

 

Thanks

Hello, if the router is not in the Tether compatibility list, which means it is currently not supported by the Tether app. Below is the Tether Compatibility List:

However, you can still connect it to the TP-Link range extender via its web interface even though it isn't supported by Tether. Below is the guide to add the range extender to the wireless network:

If it is not in the Tether compatibility list, that means they are not compatible.
