Hi All,

having some really weird issues with my router / wi-do setup.

I have a TP-link VR2800 router and sky broadband. I also have a tplink mesh extender in my home office connected by cat5 to the router.

A couple of days ago I lost WiFi from the router, my phone wouldn’t connect nor would our work laptops, Xbox etc. However, the Sky Q boxes seem to be working fine eg I can watch YouTube on them and the extender seems to be pushing out WiFi fine because it works in the office. If I use the tplink tether app the router is showing as an unknown device.

Any ideas why I wouldn’t be able to connect with most devices, but some are ok? And why the extender works? I have setting up WiFi networks and mine always seem to be crap! Surely it should just be plug and play nowadays!

Any help appreciated! Cheers, Mike
