Hello everybody,

 

I have a problem since I started using the wifi extender TL-WA854RE.

Here is a short description of my problem.

When I am using only the modem TD-W9960, I have no issue connecting to it and accessing internet with all my devices through wifi (iOS phones, macbook and computer).

Then, when I plug my wifi extender:
- no problem of internet connection when connecting on the wifi extender through wifi

- when I connect to the modem with Wifi, no internet access available (some kind of internet on my apple devices but not all the time and no internet at all on the computer)

Message available : "no internet, secured"

 

I believe that there is a DHCP conflict between the wifi extender and the modem avoiding me to properly get an IP adress when connecting to the modem.

Here is the error that I get from the windows troubleshooter tool:

Additionally, I have this when trying to renew the ip:

Here is the ipconfig that I can see when trying to connect to the modem with extender plugged:

Here is the ipconfig that I can see when trying to connect to the modem with extender off:

Indeed, when I connect to the modem, my computer is unable to get an IP adress but I don't have any problem when connected on the wifi extender.

 

Additionally, I confirm that as soon as I unplug the wifi extender and I connect to the modem, I retrieve the internet connection.

I have reseted both the extender and the modem unsuccessfully.

 

Any advices on configuring both modem and extender would be greatly appreciated.

 

Here are the current modem and extender configurations:

- extender : 

Thanks for your help.
