The same happened to me without any changes to extender or router. I tried with Android phones and Windows 10 laptops.
The reason for not working is that devices connected to extender are not assigned an IP address. If I switch a device to use static IP it has internet, otherwise it hasn't. I have the latest firmware on extender (1.0.1.10) and on router. I have a TalkTalk router but doesn't depend on router, same error with a BT router and an Asus router too. None have MAC filtering, all have DHCP enabled and all devices connect to internet when using the router. Had a few factory resets, deleted saved wifi networks on devices, didn't help.
