EX2700- N300 WiFi Extender
I've had this wifi extender for a little over a year now and it's starting to give me problems, it recently stopped working. The wifi extender is connected to the router and is withing good range for my electronics to connect to but as soon as I try to connect to the wifi extender it always tells me "Failed to obtain ip address." I've also reset the wifi extender and did the set up process all over agian but I still have the same problem. Please help.

Hello AudelC2017
Have you added the Mac address of the extender to the allow list of the router?
