Orange Lock Symbol (QSS) while on Extender Mode

2020-11-16 22:19:34

Model: TL-WA801ND

Hardware Version: V5

Firmware Version: 0.9.1 3.16 v0348.0 Build 170905 Rel.56404n

Hello, I recently switched my TL-WA801ND mode from Access Point to WiFi Extender.

It seems to be working but the lock led indicator on the device is most of the times orange.

Sometimes it turns green for a while then goes orange again.

Wifi signal does seem to be boosted however I get disconected on devices once in a while.

It bugs me on why the led indicator remains orange. Anyone have any idea on what this orange indicator means?

I´ve added a picture of the router with the orange lock led.

Best,

Ernie

Hi,

Sorry for the long delay.

When the LED was orange, are you still able to get internet service?

I think when the LED turned red, which means the 801ND were having a bad connection to the home router.

If possible, please try to change the wireless channel on the router to have a look, like channel 11 for 2.4ghz;

Thank you very much and wait for your reply.
