I'm no techie, but I've been working with Apple products on the internet since 1981, and I've done a few things.

But installing the RE505X to work with a Verizon Fios G3100 router has been a total bust. Nothing works like the Quick Install says, the Tether program describes an iOS Settings Option required for version 14 and above that does not exist on my iPhone 8+, etc., etc.

When Tether finally seems to be installed OK, it finds NO devices and NO networks.

When I check the community-TPLink page, I find:

Solution

Disable DFS Channels during Channel Scan option on the Fios G1100/G3100. You may choose a 5GHz channel manually on the channel setting page, such as 149:

WHAT?????  And where's the WPS button on the G3100??

Nobody told me I had to master Fios G1100/G3100-speak to just install an idiot range extender?

Are there any English language instructions that work for the RE505X???

@Carl For the Verizon G3100, the WPS button is in the router setup menu. You must login to the router first. Go to the router setup menu and click on the wifi tab, you will see the WPS tab. click that and it opens access to the WPS button.

To fix a WiFi extender dropping connection from Verizon Fios G1100/G3100, disable DFS channels during the channel scan and manually select a 5GHz channel like 149.
