NAT Type problem of WiFi extender

I recently bought a WiFi extender because my WiFi is not that good but when I connected it to my ps4 it gave me NAT Type 3 and when I connect it directly to the router it gives me NAT Type 2 so what do I have to do to get an open NAT Type on WiFi extender

    You may have to port forward the IP address of the extender and the PS4 on the router. Furthermore, if you recently purchased the device we recommend utilizing your device's 90 days of complimentary support and contacting our Support Team using the link below.
