Weird issue with TL-WA860RE / iPhone / Apple TV
Region : Argentina
Model : TL-WA830RE
Hardware Version : V2
Firmware Version :

Hi everyone
This is my first post on here as a new TP-Link customer. I bought the TL-WA860-RE extender yesterday, it was very easy to install and it has extended the network upstairs to my office as I wanted. I previously ran speed tests that were getting under 1MB, now it is around 7-8MB as I would expect.
However, while my MacBook Pro is loving the new Wi-Fi signal, my iPhone is not. Although it appears to be connected to the network, with an IP address assigned (when I check the iPhone wifi settings) it does not download emails (constantly stays at "Checking for Mail") and Safari and other applications won't access the internet.
Also I checked my Apple TV - which is in the same room as my office - and it won't detect the network at all - when I check the network, no network is detected - this is in the same room as the MacBook where it picks up a 7-8MB signal.
I cannot fathom why this is happening. My wife has a Windows laptop too and that is connecting without any issue. Is there some kind of weird protocol or setting that Apple doesn't like (which would be weird as my MacBook works but the iPhone and Apple TV don't).
Any suggestions would be much appreciated, thanks for reading! :)
