I know exactly where my rag is thanks, and it's definitely tight.

Oops! And I didn't mean you.

I posted #60 in 2023 but only recently bought a TP-link wifi range extender. The extender worked with my old wifi hub but BT has changed to a new one to connect to their digital phone network. My laptop can see it but my extender can't, so neither can my TV plugged into it by cable. The installation guide recommends the Tether app but that can't see my extender. Method 2 is to connect to http://www.tplinkrepeater.net or http://192.168.0.254. Method 3 is to press the WPS button on the router. None of the methods work so I will attempt to get an answer from BT.

Wifi extenders are usually bad news. Best practice is either wifi direct to your router (or wifi base station if using a separate one) or wired ethernet to your router. I realise that's not always easy but it is worth the effort. For my parents the wifi from their broadband router was rubbish and also at a far flung corner of the house, so I disabled the router's wifi and ran wired ethernet to a separate wifi base station upstairs much more centrally located.
