I had same issue,latest firmware 210 causes connection issues with android and iPhone devices, keeps saying incorrect password.
Found on forum a solution as stated from many users is to roll back the firmware back to 206 firmware.
You need a laptop to do this, download 206 firmware and save to desktop, log into your Extender via ethernet cable, select firmware update, and upload 206 firmware disc file, takes a few minutes.
