Connection error when setting up Mi wifi range extender

[hugospops]

So I got the range extender and following all the online instructions to the letter but when i get to the point where I connect to the mi and wait for it to get to 100% it stays on a blinking yellow light and i get a connection error message. I have tried this now 6 times and have never got the blue light. I have reset the Mi wifi a couple of times too but no joy Anyone had this issue or any suggestions?

Set your region in MI Home to Other. Worked for me.

Also, make sure the Tello battery is full. It’s probably shutting down before it reaches 100%, happened to me several times.

I am having the same problem. Mine is Chinese Version. I have set the locality to Mainland China then set it to Other.I tried connecting it to my internet router (not tello) via my Samsung S8.
