Hi guy.need some help with this aqara hub E1 witch I bought it more for the Aqara air quality monitor S1 but I need to know and understand why I can’t use the WiFi repeater ?the hub it is set to Chinese server I live in Spain but looks like even if I turn it ON I doesn’t do nothing and contact aqara is an pain 
The E1 is 2.4GHz Wi-Fi only, have you tried disabling 5GHz on the router?
Saying that though, one E1 Chinese version hub that I had was bricked within a week. Just stuck on a solid yellow light, wouldn’t connect or reset.
From the Aqara UK FAQ:
Why can’t connect to the Wi-Fi repeater when I enabled the function?
When the Wi-Fi repeater function is enabled, the IP address is still assigned by the router.
- When some brands of wireless routers receive frequent connection requests, they may refuse to assign IP addresses, resulting in Wi-Fi repeater being unable to connect. It is suggested to restart the router or try to connect again after waiting for a period of time.
- In some scenarios, the hub may switch back and forth to connect different routers when multiple routers in the same WLAN share SSID but use different channels (such as an office environment), once the channel is changed, the devices under repeater can not establish the corresponding IP relationship with the new route, resulting in the Wi-Fi repeater unable to communicate. It is recommended to experience the Wi-Fi repeater function only in a single router environment.
