Hi folks wondering if I could get some help. My extender will provide service just fine until I power off the tv. When I power back the tv no connection. Then in order to get it to work again I have to power off the extender and then power it back on to get it working. It's not a huge hassle and its eay to get working again but I know this is not the way its supposed to work. Any help appreciated!
Thx for responding! The only device connected to the extender wifi is the tv. It is wifi non-ethernet. Also none of my other devices like my laptop show the extender connection is available just the tv has access to it. Strange? I am using my router to power most of my devices and my extender for the tv because I don't want to bog down the router.

Connecting the TV to the extender won't reduce the load on the router. The only case where it might help is if the TV is connecting to another device that is also using the extender. In all other cases, the extender is relaying all the traffic to the router over wifi.
If you don't have a wifi coverage issue in the TV rooom, you shouldn't be using an extender there. It won't do anything good, and it can increase WiFi interference.
