WiFi dropping in bedroom.

[Welshy89]

Hi Guys 

Still having a few issues with dropping of internet upstairs intermittently. Spoke to EE today and they have arranged an engineer to attend. 

I have been looking at possible options of WiFi enhancer with EE but unsure of this will help and what it actually does. Also thinking about EE WiFi booster although i don't really want to pay £240 over the 24 months for the privilege of this.

So when it drops out I re set the router and everything fires back up as normal then might go ok for a few days then drop again anyone had this problem ?

Can anyone recommend any WiFi boosters that you've used through a third party and if it solved your issue 

Thanks

@Welshy89 I have replied to the post of @Maxi1441 to see which method was used for connection of the Tp-Link RE700X as to whether it was WPS or App downloaded to set it up, and if you can try the suggestion earlier with regards to doing the TP-Link first, this will indicate that the unit's wps function is working with it's flashing blue light.

Hi. I connected using the app and it was easy except it added -ext on the end of the hub name deleted that and it connected weak devices straight away. No issues since

@Maxi1441 Thanks for replying and glad it is working for you, will see if the other OP is up for doing it via the app.👍

Ok I have now tried the app and wps and still no luck WiFi light flash blue along with router for the two.mins next to each other and will not connect. 

App option is saying unable to connect to next work it brings a diagram up showing network router with a small red x on it then a line to the extender with another line in it. 

All options tried with out success 🤔 

Can anyone recommend another WiFi extender as I plan to send this one back 

Thanks

@Welshy89 Just incase the TP link has now got confused have you tried resetting it before trying to pair it to the EE router. 

[Welshy89]

Done a reset on both tp link and router no luck at all via wps or tether. 

Can you recommend any other simple extenders that works with EE Smart Hub +

[JimM11]

@Welshy89 ? When you pin reset the TP-Link extender although it says 1 second in the manual, does the power light go out in the reset function to indicate that it is doing it. Copy of a video link if you wish to view that.

Bing Videos

Hello 

I have watched the video when I reset the tp link all the lights come on WiFi goes red then all lights go off power light then starts blinking.

I have looked at the video also when I put the password in on the tether option and click and it says no connection available.

I starting to think the tp link may be faulty or the software not updated.

Can you recommend any other WiFi extenders that will work with EE Smart Hub + 

Just a quick look on Amazon and there's Wavlink AX3000 speeds of 1800 mbs what's your thoughts on this 

What speed WiFi extender do I need I'm guessing 500mbps or higher to math my fftp speeds

@Welshy89 When you put the password in, 2nd password are you using the Your WiFi password from the card on the back of the router?

And i use the Asus RP-AX58 which is very similar to the TP-Link and did connect via wps, and then had to go in and rename the device SSID to match the EE SSID as it kept the original asus name.

[Welshy89]

It asked me to create a password which I did and then it is saying connection from router to to link failed with the red x I have also then tried to wipe the tether app uninstall re install and try the same putting WiFi password from back of router and still the same issue. 

I will now be sending this back. And will look for another one I might give the Wavlink a go
