Not able to connect Laptop WiFi to router (AC1200/Archer C50) after RE (TL-WA850RE) is added

Model: Archer C50

Hardware Version: V6

Firmware Version: 0.9.1 0.4 v0001.0 Build 211108 Rel.33223n(4555)

My TP link AC1200 Wireless Dual Band Router (Archer C50) router was working fine until I have added TL-WA850RE range extender (RE) in the network. I am not able to connect my laptop Wifi to router whereas I am able to connect my laptop wifi to only RE. I have tried all options including disabling DHCP in RE as suggested in various forums but it doesn’t work. Whereas I am able to connect mobile phone to router. It strange to see that I am not able to laptop to router after adding RE. Both my router and RE are purchased from TP link. Please help to resolve this issue.

@Gangadhar1

If your RE is HW v7 (that's on the botton sticker) update its FW to the latest FW release - TL-WA850RE(EU)_V7_1.0.13 Build 231115 - here. Test again and check if there's an improvement.
