TP Link WiFi extender makes my internet not work after a while, PLEASE HELP!
Hello, I recently bought a WiFi extender and i seem to have a problem with it.
(I set it up using the tether app)
My problem is that after sometime it just disconnects my internet and it doesn't work until i restart the router. The extender worked perfectly fine until it happend.
Its so annoying because the WiFi in my house is really low so that's why i bought it. It really helped me until that happend.
And yes, i put it in a good place like it said in the app.
So, if someone can help me with that i would really appreciate it! :)

I would check your router when the issue happens as well, see if other devices are losing internet connectivity.

@Eyal4321 We have the same issue! No issues with our router until we started using the extender. Now every morning we have to power cycle the router in order to get internet.

Make sure the firmware for the extender is up to date by logging into it and looking at the build number.
The latest release we have for the TL-WA850RE v7 came out this past August.
Release notes reference:
1. Fixed the bug that some devices cannot access Internet in some situations.
2. Fixed the bug that some main router may restart when the repeater connects to it.
3. Fixed the bug of having difficulty in connecting to hidden SSID.
4. Fixed the security issue of logging in to the web UI causes a reset of the device.
5. Optimized total performance.

hello
I have the exact same problem. My router works flawlessly until i connect TL-WA850RE V7. Then my router restarts itself couple times a day while the extender keeps working. I have searched online but could not find any solution. I have updated the firmware to 1.0.1 Build 200731 Rel. 64443n as suggested but nothing changed. I also tried the last firmware update but the result is the same. I really need your help.
Thank you
Ozzie

@Eyal432 Hi I bought my TP-link wifi Range extender version RE200. It doesn't work normally because every 5 minutes or so it loses the connection and turns off. It's really weird for a product I bought today and it's already starting to bug. Please i need your help.
