EX7000 DHCP Not Working
So, I've had issues with DHCP not working with this extender since I got it over a year ago, a few months ago I rolled the firmware back to the initial release (1.0.0.30), and that seemed to fix the ...
That setup that you have is basically prone to issues just because of your stretched distances.
Most people forget that in order to complete a WiFi connection, they need to have both a valid Transmit and Receive origin.
Simplest analogy is that an "Extender" may be able to reach a Laptop with it's signal, but the Laptop cannot reach the "Extender" with it's signal...
So I would suggest first, to put all four equipments within close proximity to each other and see if that resolves your issues. It can include or remove the distance issue. Then isolate each equipment and see that each of the equipments seperate DHCP can lease an IP locally to a laptop or something. Even a cell phone. Turn each piece of equipment off to isolate it and remove it from the possibility of causing WiFi interferance.
I know that you said that you are convenced that it's the EX7000 that will not lease an IP. You did not mention if you had tried to lease an IP from more than one piece of equipment.
There is no easy answer to an issue such as this inside of a configuration like this.
My approach would be to isolate and verify.
