Extender WA850 RE - channel selection connecting to modem router W9970

2020-09-30 08:30:05

Model: TL-WA850RE

Hardware Version: V1

Firmware Version: 1

My extender 850RE is working fine and connected to my W9970 Router/modem.

But WIFI is unreliable because many neighbors are on the same channels. I switch my router to work on channel 13.

The W9970 is now working more reliably, not getting kicked off so much.

But now my 850RE is not connecting. It is showing that it is on channel 2 in the settings.

1. How do I make my 850RE connect to a particular channel

2. If I can't do this, how can I get my 850RE to reconnect to my router on channel 13 (or whatever channel I select on my router)?

@Jolo

Hi, Good day.

Thank you very much for your kind reply.

Have you checked the country code on the back label, such as EU or US version?

it is very likely that because the extender does not support channel 13 so it could not reconnect to the home router;

Have you tried to change the wireless channel to be channel 11 to have a look?

and normally, the extender would auto sync the wireless settings from the home router?

Thanks a lot.
