TL-WA855RE can't power off extended wifi network

2020-12-17 10:28:13

Model: TL-WA855RE

Hardware Version: V5

Firmware Version: 1.0.1 Build 201029 Rel.34937n (6985)

TL-WA855RE can't power off extended wifi network and it's not possible to save this option:

I just have to extend my wifi to an ethernet cable and don't need the extra wifi network.

Anyone who have solved this? I have updated to latest FW and there is no option to save this. The save button only show, when you change the SSID, but this won't save the option to don't show the extended SSID.

@HrRoland

Good day,

Sorry for the delay.

Currently, it did not support to disable the wireless radio on the range extender completely(if it is dual band, one of them could be turned off) since it needs wireless signal to communicate with home router as well.

If you just bought it, you could return TL-WA850RE and get TL-PA4010KIT instead if the whole house Is under the same electric meter:

Thank you very much.
