Hi tanman05851,
You will experience this issue only if password which you input during setup is incorrect or ACL is ON or if channels set on router is not providing better signal to extender. As you mentioned that ACL is OFF, please cross check the password which you input and try again. Also, modify wireless channel on your router if issue persist.
Note: Password might be different for your 2.4 and 5GHz networks where you must enter same as what is set on main network for these bands.
