Hi all

I had purchased this RE650 sometime back

I get the 2.4 and 5 ghz speed on my host router but the 5ghz band is not detecting on the tplink extender

 

Guidance requested on the same

Ok. It's an "EU" model as indicated on the serial number sticker.

 

Channel 44 should work fine with an EU model. Have you already tried it?

 

By the way, you can find out which channels are supported by your particular RE650 if you switch it to "Access Point" mode (click on the "Mode" icon in the upper right of the admin webpage) and then go to the Wireless Settings for 5 GHz and click on the "Channel" drop-down selector.

Hi,

 

Does the label on the backside of your RE650 read "Model:RE650(US)..." or "Model:RE650(EU)..."?

 

In case it is the latter, then make sure the 5 GHz radio of your Airtel router is not broadcasting on channel 149 or higher. "EU" models of routers and extenders can only use channels up to 140.
