Extender WN3000RP

hi,  I can connect my PC and my work PC to the extender but I can not connect my android phone or my work apple phone to it.  Any ideas?

    Does the router - where everything is connected to - allow the Android and/or the iPhone MAC address to access the network?

      Yes, currently everything is up and running on the main router without any problem

        Does the router have a list of trusted devices? Does the router have a list of devices where the router does not let the client access? The point is that wireless extenders do some MAC address translation, and on some routers one has to approve additional devices, visible by the MAC address assigned by the extender.
