Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for the WiFi Extender products. Most of the people who watch that forum are more likely to have experience with WiFi Extender products and know how to work it better than those of us who follow this router forum. Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there:

      Auto assigning IP addresses from a pool of IP address is called DHCP service. What is your definition of a DHCP service? By default DHCP is activated like I already said before.This is what is written for yor EX3110 
      The extender comes set up to use a dynamic IP address, which is the correct setting for most home networks. So it already received an IP address of the DHCP service that is running on your router. Also this is written for EAX20 : The extender comes set up to use a dynamic IP address, which is the correct setting for most home networks. But you are right there isn't a DHCP server option where you can change i DHCP IP range, it is only a client. I was a bit too quick to answer.
