MR5100 DHCP Couldn't get IP Address

MR5100 runs out of IP addresses when only 17 devices are connected.  I have to restart it to reconnect everything.  I have the subnet mask set to 255.255.255.0 and DHCP server set to start at 192.168.1.20 through 192.168.1.255.  Any help is appreciated.

    Hi cefolar

     

    Welcome to NETGEAR Community!

     

    May we please know the current firmware version? 

    Who is your Internet provider? 

    As you mentioned, the subnet mask set to 255.255.255.0 and DHCP server set to start at 192.168.1.20 through 192.168.1.255. Please describe your network setup.

      The device is using an AT&T SIM card

      Firmware version: NTGX55_10.25.15.02

      Network Setup:

      MR5100 is connected to a EX7500 mesh extender.  I have all of my devices connecting to the mesh extender and the mesh extender connected to the MR5100 on the 5GHz channel.  On the MR5100 all the devices show up as just MAC addresses from the mesh extender.  The EX7500 shows all of the assigned IP address with coordinating MAC address that is listed on the MR5100.
