Model: TL-WA850RE  
Hardware Version: V7
Firmware Version:

I have used my extender previously with success.

Now, connected to a new WiFi and it does not pick up the signal from the WiFi. 

I did reset the extender until it went back to the default name.

Tried setting up using Tether, via Web page and WPS.

Previously, it simply connected using WPS.

The extender is placed right next to the WiFi router.

I can login to the extender via web and app. 

I tried changing the DNS configuration as well.  Connects, but no signal.

Additionally, The blue lights showing the signal strength does not light up at all.... on the previous WiFi it did. 

 

If someone can please assist as I do not know what else to check and am at my wits endcheeky

Hi, thanks for posting on TP-Link Community.
1. Please check whether Wireless password of your new router you entered is correct or not. You could go to Settings--WiFi on your phone to forget the new router WiFi, then reconnect it using the same Wi-Fi password to see if it works. 
2. Please reset the extender into default settings again by holding the reset button until all lights flashing once, then refer to this instruction to configure your range extender again carefully:

Via Tether App: https://www.tp-link.com/support/faq/1373/
Via Web interface: https://www.tp-link.com/support/faq/1400/

 

Note: During the configuration, please make sure that the extender is close to your router and be careful when you enter router's wireless password.  

 

If it still doesn't connect, please check if there are any special settings on your main router, like access control etc. which will block the extender.

If no such special settings, please let us know the following information:

1) the LED status of your range extender, including RE LED as well
2) model number and hardware version of your main router
