RE305 v3 Not able to connect to 5GHz host network
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
My host router from ISP Ziggo in Netherlands and the issue with RE305 v3 is only with connecting to the 5GHz host network on a secured mode. I changed the host router security settings between WPA2-PSK & WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK and suitably changed it RE305 extender, but no luck with RE305 getting connected on 5GHz network. Only if there was no security set in host router for the 5GHz connection, RE305 is able to connect on the 5GHz network and obviously that cannot be solution due to snooping / unsecure connection. When RE305 does the scanning it is able to find the 5Ghz netwok though. So don't suspect an issue with the 5Ghz channel settings either - it is set to 802.11 a/n/ac mixed mode on channel 48.
I had a different problem with RE305 v1 and exchanged the router with the retailer and just got a new one which was RE305 v3. In fact for 6 months had range extender setup working fine in RE305 v1, but two weeks ago it started giving the problem with no internet connection after you connect to the network on the extendeter. It's a pity that I now have a problem on day 1 with a new RE305 v3 version - does not go well with confidence on the brand
Firmware is also the latest and factory reset is also not helping. Seems to be a bug in the firmware to me (not able to deduce anything else). WPS mode also did not work fyi. Has anyone else faced the issue ?
If there is no solution to this, i might have to dump this all together and go for another brand

@Solla-topee Firmware is up to date, it is 1.1.2 Build 20200212 REl.67183.
I bought it on Amazon earlier this week.
Is there a beta firmware available? If not, is there any advice on which channels should be used that might fix this?
Thanks,
Rob

@Solla-topee Hi there, I'm having the same problem with my range extender as well. It worked well at first but started having problems with the 5G extended network. When trying to connect to it it'll either disconnect automatically immediately or show that access is denied.
Model : RE305
Firmware: 1.1.2 Build 20200212 Rel. 67183
Please help, thanks.
