The automatic setup of the Extender fails to provide an Internet connection but does obtain a correct IP address (192.168.1.240). On checking the failure is because it sets up the Gateway and DNS as 0.0.0.0 .

Unless I am very much mistaken, the extender should work with the gateway & DNS entries at 0.0.0.0 - most extenders will - provided that is not what the client devices are set to.
