EX2700 Unable to Authenticate

I have an EX2700 N300 wifi extender. Connecting to a D-Link DIR-880L running DD-WRT v3.0-r34311b.  Go through the setup, it's able to see the router, 100%. Connect, go through the steps. Get's to success, then says it's unable to connect to the router. Connection settings and authentication are correct. Cannot find a reason why it will not connect, it had previously worked.

 

Have tried:

- Factory resetting

- Changed authentication on the router to TKIP, AES, TKIP+AES all under WPS2 Personal.

- Repeater is next to router, so there is no signal strength issue.

- No ACL in place.

- Simple all alpha-only password.

I can see in the currently connected device that the wifi by the MAC address showing in the list. So it's talking to the router, it just won't authenticate.

 

Suggestions of what to do next?

Make sure you have the latest firmware on the extender and maybe try changing the wireless channel on your router. or even try the WPS setup
