AC1750 aka RE450 unable to connect to the network
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
The extender is unable to extended WiFi from Cisco router. I also have another TP-link extended connected to the same router (AC2600 aka RE650).
Once I connect to RE450, it sees available Wi-FI networks but as soon as you go through the installation process it applies all settings but the lamp is red and no internet.
What has been tried:
- I downloaded the previous firmware versions - no difference.
- I tried to connect RE450 to RE650 (maybe the Cisco router does not like RE450 model, as much as it does RE650) - no difference.
I tried to set up wifi network first (by changing its name and password), relog-in and then connect to internet. As soon as I make that connection the RE450 stops working. The red lamp flashes, I am not able to connect to the extender via 192.168..... or tplinkextender.net I can connect to the newly created wifi but it has no internet connection.
One more thing, once network is configuret it asks to a PIN but there is also option to enter WiFI password.
Hello, Kevin_Z
Many thanks for such swift response.
All lights are solid blue. I was sitting right below the main router .
The Cisco model is AIR-SAP1602I-A-K9 (https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/wireless/aironet-1600-series/index.html)
Please find the screenshot with the settings-network pages. What I did is set-up WIFI networks first under extended networks, before connecting to internet.
This is because once "connected" to internet I am not able to connect to the extender any longer nor I can get to the status page.
