Same issue here. Bought a few days back. It keeps disconnecting several times an hour.

 

Connected to 2,4 GHz with good signal (doesn't matter if 2,4GHz or 5GHz).

Firmware version: 1.0.6 Build 20200708 Rel. 47302(6985)

Hardware version:  RE200 v4.0

@conty40 

I have had the same disconnections on a TP-Link RE200 extender, just bought. I have updated to the last firmware release, which is 1.0.6 Build20200708 Rel. 47302.

Signal ok between router and extender, as well as extender and macbook. Nevertheless I got frequent disconnections, during which the leds on the RE200 were off (but the power). Once off, the network_EXT should be re-selected to connect again.

 

I am not very smart with this, but it sounded as a conflict somewhere. After many trials (upgrading and downgrading the firmware amond them), I have changed from "Auto" to "Off" the DHCP server of RE200, like this

I am not sure it solves the problem completely (maybe there are still interruptions now and then), but at least RE200 reconnects seamlessly and the network extension is happening, now. Hope this is helpful to other. I apologize for my poor english.
