My wife's Mac products (which I hate) struggle to connect. They say "no IP" or "self assigned IP" or if they do connect they say "Another device on your network is using the same IP address". My android devices, TVs, Nest products, and work PC seem to be OK.

EX8000-100NAS is the manufacturer model of the extender.
