Lumia 1020 won't connect to Wi-Fi extending device TP-LINK TL-WA850RE

[WPCentral Question]

Hi guys,

I just bought and installed a Wi-Fi extender from TP-LINK. My Laptop connects fine, my wife's iphone 4s connects as well and both devices have internet access, however my Lumia 1020 connects but I don't get internet access. The extender's encryption is WPA2. I also disabled the password but again no luck.

When I connect to the router directly from my 1020 (not the extender) everything works fine.

Any ideas what the problem might be?

Thanks a lot!

Maybe the extender cant cope with more then 2 devices connected. Try and check the manufacture site to get that confirmed
