EX7000 Range Extender and iPhone not working well

I have an EX7000 range extender connected wirelessly to my nighthawk. I have 2 other EX6200 thoughout my house. (I have a large house with a lot of interference it seems). Most of my stuff works, but the EX7000 in my bedroom has a hard time giving my iPhone an up address. It will try to connect and then it gives it the 169 ip address. The other routers/extenders work well, but this is giving me an issue. I have an EX6200 I can use to replace it, but thought the EX7000 would be better. Any ideas on settings or troubleshooting? TIA

Hello Russekkmoran99

 

I would make sure your EX7000 is on the latest firmware also you may want to tell the iphone to forget the network and try to connect to it again could be some old setting causing a issue.

Their range extenders fail to reconnect Iphones.

 

Their brilliant support says to delete the network and star over.

 

Really?  Every time I walk in rang?

 

Their products suck.
