Model :

Hardware Version :

Firmware Version :

ISP :

Recently Setup a new RE650 extender. Works great with windows laptops, iphones, apple TVs and smart TVs in the house. However, macbooks cannot connect. When a macbook tries to connect it gets an error that the WPA2 password was incorrect.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Same Problem here! I Have a Macbook Mid2009. I changed my range extender from Neatgear EX7300 to TP-Link RE650. No wifi Connection with my Macbook. Solution: Switch from WPA2 AES to WPA2 TKIP encryption and the macbook will connect. WPA2 automatic and WPA2 AES no Connection. But when you switch to WPA2 TKIP Windows PC will no longer connect because they recomand WPA2 AES. This can´t be a longterm solution.

I think it´s a Firmware Problem. But I installed the latest Firmware from 20/04/2017 same problem

This problem only happens with Macbook 2010 with BCM 43XX chipset. It's the problem with the chipset of BCM. But TP-LINK has added a special entry to the software to fix the compatibility problem. And will release the FW these days.
The new version is 170524.
