PLEASE HELP ME! Can't connect to VPN via WiFi Range Extender

I am trying to connect to connect to my work VPN via my Netgear EX6200 WiFi Range Extender.  It connects but doesn't allow me to connect to any of my drives.  I was told by my IT department that I do have an IP address so they did verify that I was connected but that is as far as I can get.  It is the same result reguardless if I am wired to it or on WiFi.  The VPN does work perfectly if I connect either wired or through WiFi via my router (Netgear WNDR3400).  There aren't a lot of settings to change on the EX6200 and I feel like I have changed every combination without any success.  Both the ex6200 and the wndr3400 have the latest firmware.  I unfortunately don't know anymore information about my VPN other than what I have provided.  Thank you ahead of time for any help you can offer!  :-)
