Hello.
I purchased the TP-Link TL-WA850RE to extend my 2.4Ghz network to some rooms.
I have a VX220-G2v modem router at home which broadcasts two WiFi network, one 2.4Ghz which is the one I wnat to extend and another one at 5Ghz.
The problem is that after some time, these 2 network no longer let me access internet or it is deadly slow! I can only access internet via the extended network,
that unfortunately is slower than the original ones. When connected to my 5Ghz network, Win11 tells me "No Internet" and I cannot even access the router via its local gateway 192.168.1.1.
I tried both standard settings, but also enabled DHCP on the extender and avoid the IP ranges of router and extender to overlap,
but it didn't solve.
The position is said to be optimal by Theter APP. Am I missing something?
Regards,
Marco
Even if the WA850RE was faulty it should not affect the 5 GHz Wi-Fi of the VX220-G2v.
If you haven't done so already, could you please connect any client device to the 5 GHz band of the router and when it doesn't give access to the Internet check all the addresses assigned by the DHCP on the client device itself?
On a Windows 10/11 computer all the information can be found under properties. On Android phones it depends on the particular phone how much information is shown within the settings menu, but if you install an app like AIDA64 you can get all the information.
Verify that the IP address and subnet netmask assigned to the device reflect the correct network setup and that the Default Gateway is the LAN address of the VX220-G2v and the DNS is also either the LAN address of the VX220-G2v or the address of an actual DNS server.
