Thank you for your help, Dexter. The troubleshooting was extensive, and the root cause seemed to be an issue with my router assiging a different IP address to the extender. Also, registration of the extender with the router was not timely as internet speeds were a crawl, causing webpages to time out. 

 

We ended up configuring the device as an extender and not an access point. The good news is that all is presently working as expected.
