Model: RE450  
Hardware Version: V3
Firmware Version:

Hi,  I have set up my AC1750 (RE450) wifi extender unit and the wifi network shows the 2.4 and 5 Ghz Extended network access points on PC but when I go to connect to the extended connections, (system - Laptop Lenovo T480s using Microsoft Windows 10) it requests the 8 digit PIN number or Security Key from my main router. When entered, the system states " Cannot retrieve info from router OR Cannot access Microsoft system" - eh? Nowhere is this mentioned in the set up procedures and the TP linkrepeater.net web site set up is telling I am connected and TP-link connected. No logic to this set up. Anyone had the same issues. Cheers.

Good day,

Have you tried to choose ‘use the security key instead’ then put the wireless password of the home router?

 

Thanks and wait for your reply.
