Today I bought an AX1500 Wi-Fi extender (RE505X) to replace my previous extender.

 

Installing went flawlessly and I can now connect via Wi-Fi to it, however when plugging the Ethernet cable from my computer into the extender, nothing happens.


My computer can't connect to internet, doesn't seem to detect the repeater.

 

I tried turning both off and on again, twice, I tried updating the Extender software via the app, nothing worked.

Now I know the Extender is connected to my box as I can use it on my smartphone, I know my computer's Ethernet cable and plug are fine as they worked just two days ago.

 

Does anyone have any insight on what to do to solve that problem ?

Cause buying something and finding the ONE thing I want it to do doesn't work is kinda infuriating.

Hi, thanks for posting question here.

Did you set up range extender mode or access point mode for the RE505X? Did you connect RE505X to the main router via Ethernet cable?

You may take factory reset on the range extender and configure it again for a try.

It is also suggested to upgrade firmware to the latest.
