Model: RE450  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.0.4 Build 20171220 Rel. 73615

Need halp. Bought the TP-LINK RE450 range extender and followed the set up instructions. I paired it with my old LinkSys E3000 (CISCO). Installed successfully but only 5GHZ is working.

 

Bought it primarily for my wifi cam but my wifi cam only works with 2.4ghz and won't detect the 5ghz at all.

 

Thanks in advance.

@TPRE450lurker 

 

If the main router has the 2.4G and 5G named the same then pairing with the extender may only connect one band. Do the same paring method (WPS) and see if the 2.4G will now light up.

 

If not, download Tether into your smartphone, connect to the extender, and set up the 2.4G band that way.

@Tony THanks. I'll try the thether. 

 

I tried what you mentioned. Both 2.4 and 5 were lighting up. I named them differently. But no connection at all for 2.4ghz. 

 

Will keep you posted.
