I purchased a range extender on the advice of my broadband supplier EE due to poor reception in a bungalow. 

I have now spent the best part of 3 days trying to set it up. I initially used the gui 'easy set up guide', result of that below! 

WiFi info says it is connected but with no Internet access. I telephoned the argos support line initially (as I bought it from them and they have a dedicated help line for this product) to ask about the screen meaage 'you seem to have a problem' and the instruction it was giving me to scan the barcode (I don't know how to scan it as it is on the device I am using!) or download some tplink tether, and a very pleasant lady said she would e-mail detailed instructions. They were the quick installation guide that has left me in my current situation. 

I have tried a hard reset on the device to try to do the full installation from scratch in case I made an error on the initial set up but when I access the tplink repeater page, it defaults straight to 'you seem to have a problem'..... really...??? 

I then tried the wps 'easy set up' installation again with no success. I have joined the EE community for advice and it was brought to my attention the wps is on disable as default on the EE brightbox 2. I enabled wps on the advanced settings but to absolutely no avail. 

So as it stands. I am precisely nowhere as far as extending my WiFi goes. I can't reset it, remove it from my system or do a re installation. 

Waste of £30 so far and 3 days of my time trying to configure it. Bought it as I have ordered a smart TV. That will need to be cancelled if I have no Internet access in the room it was meant for. It's tiresome

Don't know if anyone can help
