Hello @Matthew1

1. For ' Win8 can.not find the adapter ' do you mean extender SSID disappear from Wi-Fi list

- make sure Windows computer is close to RE and has strong Wi-Fi signal from RE

- to help isolate the issue, use an SSID for range extender which is different from router SSID, when Windows can't find extender SSID, could other device see extender SSID?

2.For ' IOS is slow to connect to the adapter.' how long it takes to connect to extender WiFi, is there any error? May I have a short video when issue happens, thank you.

3. For ' IOS will tell me that the network is not secure them turn WiFi off,' can I have a photo of the exact error message? You could try some suggestion here:

If connect IOS device to main router, is there any similar not secure warning on Wi-Fi?
