EX3700 connected but no internet
I’m connected but says no internet connection. What do I do?
I have the same problem with my EX2700. My iPhone seems to connect to the extender (all LEDs are green) but I get an error message on the Settings/Wifi app under my network SSID ATT....3_EXT, "No Internet Connection". When I tried to connect my Macbook, I got the message "Wifi does not have an ip address and cannot connect to the internet". This changes after a few seconds to "Wifi has the self-assigned ip address 169.254.130.57 and will not be able to connect to the internet." When I use a browser on either device to connect to mywifiext.net, I get the message "You are not connected to your extender's Wifi network." It appears that something has gone haywire in the EX2700 because it is not passing the ip address from the DHCP service on my router to the Wifi connected computer. Up to a few days ago there was no problem with the EX2700. What is really confusing is that I tried reconnecting to my old WN2000RPT and have exactly the same set of problems.

...or it's the router DHCP server which does not properly handle things.
...or the number of concurrently connected wireless clients supported on the router is reached. Note: Different from a wireless access point wired to the Ethernet, each client on the extender does appear as an individual wireless device (with a different mapped MAC address).
