WN3000RP - so close but no cigar

I can't quite get this thing working, I get "can't connect to the internet".
Here's my setup:
Router WNDR3400

Router -> wireless -> PC
Router -> wireless -> WN3000RP -> wireless -> iPad

Via the PC I can look at the router and see the mac addy of the WN3000RP on it's connected to page.
Via the PC I can also access the WN3000RP and see the mac addy of the iPad on it's connected to page.

The iPad shows connected but can't get to the internet.
The iPad also won't connect to the WN3000RP via www.mywifiext.net.

Any ideas?
Thanks!

    I have mac address filtering turned off on the router for now.

    No luck, tried google 8.8.8.4 and 8.8.4.4.
    I even tried the my.google.com addy 209.191.108.146.
    I'm thinking it's something in the router blocking it but can't figure out what else.
    Guess I need to start disabling stuff till it works then figure out how to make it right.

    I even turned on DMZ on the addy the extender is on 10.0.0.5, as I understand it should let everything through.
    I'm starting to think it's in the extender.

    DMZ will do nothing in this case for extender


    Thanks, I realized that when the router changed the extender address to 10.0.0.6.

    If I understand correctly I have IP addresses 10.0.0.2 to 10.0.0.15 allocated for use. The extender is on 10.0.0.5.

    Thanks for helping a networking newbe.
