Model: RE650

Hardware Version: V1

Firmware Version: 1.0.6 Build 20180719 Rel. 36926

I AM using TPLINK ARCHER C6 as my main router , which is a dual band router .

Harware Version: Archer C6 v2.0
Firmware Version: 1.1.5 Build 20191112 rel.36515(5553)

Currently I have unchecked " smart connect" option from router admin page which allows me to select 2.4ghz or 5ghz .

I am now trying to extend this network using TPLINK EXTENDER MODEL: RE650 .(Which is also a dual band WIFI extender)

While configuring I was able to extend by Archer C6( my main router) 2.4ghz channel , but somehow it's not even showing 5ghz channel while configuring from Tplink extender's RE650 admin page . Please find below screenshots for your reference :

I have reset RE650 and tried hitting on "Rescan" button , but that does not helped .

Can you please advise and help me on this .

@Biswajit_Dey

Good day.

Please help us check the following information:

Did the Archer C6 work fine all the time?
Please go to settings>wireless>connect to network>click the wireless scanner under 5ghz, would you see any 5ghz network available?
If possible, please also try to change the channel on the C6, such as channel 40 for 5ghz: https://www.tp-link.com/support/faq/2292/
And if the RE650 is not on the latest firmware, please also try to manually update the firmware to be the latest:

Thank you very much and wait for your reply.
