AC1900 won't allow anything other than 2 iphones and 2 macbooks to connect??

Purchased in July 2020 but it was not compatible with my home set-up. I stored it in my pantry where I have my current modem / house-wide router (boosted by EERO). 2 years later (July 2022) my daughter tries out the AC1900 in her first apartment with boyfriend. Big building, dozens of apartments, everyone wired into a common cable and everyone gets their own in-apartment router-modem. Initially it works, supporting 2 Mac Books, 2 phones, but nothing else. They hardwire the xbox into the router, but their smart TV won't connect, and her desktop PC with wireless won't connect. But it gets worse, her sister's Kindle will not connect, and she now has bought a Kindle for her boyfriend and guess what it will not connect.
This last failure is intolerable.
If they (daughter and boyfriend) turn off their phones and Macs, they still can't get any other component of their digital lives to connect to the AC1900.
I'm downloading user manuals and searching for solutions. The PC and her TV connected to our home system with a legacy Verizon router that we have used with our FIOS service for about 10+ years. She can figure all that out, and they Kindles connect everywhere else, just not to their apartment's wifi router??
Is this the kind of thing that an EERO extender or a mesh solves for? I want to give her advice so she doesn't throw money at the wrong solutions.
