Hello  @Andrsouzaaa 

It seems the range extender get bricked, I'm afraid there's an official tool to recovery firmware. Please check if range extender still broadcast Range Extender SSID after a factory reset ,  if not, it should be dead or a defective. Usually it is recommended to check warranty with retailer or local support,if device is out of warranty, you could consider getting a new one.

  @Solla-topee unfortunately it does not emit any wi-fi signal, as soon as I plug it in, it boots up and all the lights flash non-stop, I can't get the guarantee because unfortunately I imported this one product, officially it is not sold in my country, I am also looking to buy another one, I asked for your guidance in another publication, could you help me? and is there anything I can do to resurrect this one? TP-LINK does not provide anything ? any tutorials? something saw TFTP ?

  @Solla-topee Hello, I came across a new situation, I'm going to buy a new RE650 but I saw that its version is not 1.0 or 2.0 but 1.8 and with that I wanted to know if this 1.8 version supports OneMesh? honestly I'm very curious, in my country they don't sell devices with versions like this 1.8, or it's 1.0 or 2.0 and so on... finally could you please guide me, because if version 1.8 doesn't have OneMesh support I won't even waste my time on acquiring it.

 Hello  @Andrsouzaaa 

I will try my best to help. There does not appear to be a firmware recovery method for range extender upon checking our resources. Here is a thread discussing a similar topic, but I do not remember someone has successfully recovered it. If that failed, probably you need to consider getting or importing another range extender. 

 

I recommended considering the available model listed in the local official website, currently I saw RE450 is available. I did not see RE650 V1.8 m but V1.X most of the time means V1, V2 is a different hardware version.

  @Solla-topee It's strange, because I'm tired of recovering routers from TP-LINK itself via TFTP, and from other brands too, but the repeater that theoretically has the same hardware, functions, router chipset and it doesn't work I wonder why? he died in the middle of the downgrade, I don't know why, I've done it several times via wireless and I never had any problems, and this time I'm I took the precaution of doing it via LAN and still he died.

  @Solla-topee Yes as I mentioned the RE650 is not officially available in my country, unfortunately here the TP-LINK products are the entry ones, that's why I import most of them, and I never had to use the guarantee, this was the first TP-LINK device that I couldn't solve with my knowledge of networks and computers, but I haven't given up yet. I already have a RE450, but I use the wi-fi network a lot and it can't handle the demand and gets very hot and ends up reducing the speed, whereas the RE650 is much beefier, it can handle the demand, so intend to acquire another one, the RE450 I leave the first floor where the visitors are and there will not be such a great demand for internet, as on the third floor where my room with computers is, Notebooks and my smartphones, and Brazil is a tropical country so here the devices heat up naturally, That makes everything more complicated.

  @Solla-topee I'm grateful for the help you're giving me, well for what you told me so this possible version 1.8 is still part of the same version 1.0 , so there's no use in the acquisition because I'll be buying one repeater that OneMesh will not be supported anytime soon, good to know, I am already refining the search for a new one.
