You'll need to refer to the Mfr of the main host router for information. Maybe there is a user manual for it.
One last thing to try. Temporarily disable ALL WPA security on the main host router. Factory reset the EX and walk thru the setup wizard. It may let you know that the wirless security is disabled. Ok this. Complete the setup. Then test to see if you get anything thru the EX with no security on the wifi.
Then Re-enable WPA on the main host router. Set WPA2 and AES only.
What kind of PW are you using on the main host router? Long and complex or just something kind of simple for your need?
