Question Tp link not working after reset

[Stelios Giatrellis]

Hello! I'd like your help because I'm at a dead end! I have 2 TP Link extenders, TL-WA7210N and Cpe210 Pharos, which I really had to use them for 4-5 years, I had stored them in a loft. And now that I needed them, I can't do my job. After performing hard reset to them, the 1st although I see it as a network on my android phone and PC with windows 10, it does not connect no matter what! Not even with utp cable. The 2nd one, which I don't remember if it works as a wireless access point, but I don't even see it as a network or wired on a PC. I did a power cycle. Is there any chance that they became just trush?

How are you trying to use these devices. The TL-WA7210N would typically be connected via an ethernet cable to your primary router. Same with the CPE.
The CPE requires 24V passive POE. It looks like the TL-WA7210N requires a custom 12V POE injector.

I'd like to use them as outdoor extenders, I have all appropriate power supplies for both of them. But that's not the case yet, like I said, after reset I can't use them.

This extender?

When you reset the extender it returned to its's factory default settings.

You will need to access the administrator functions and reconfigure the extender for your network environment.

If that reconfiguration is not working then what specific error messages etc. are being presented?

Likewise for the CPE210Pharos

You keep using the term "extender". That typically means WIFI in and WIFI out. That is why I asked "how are you trying to use these"? If you are trying to use them as WIFI access points with a wire back to your primary router then it is just the proper configuration as @Ralston18 said above.
But if you are trying to use them to pull in public WIFI or some other use-case, then you need to explain what you are trying to do.
