EX7300 Range Extender setup

[rebmisha]

I am having issues setting up the EX7300 with a Pace modem/router model 5268AC.  The extender recognizes my network, all the lights are solid green, but I am unable to access any webpages on the extender network.  I used the WPS setup protocol, and everything went well, until I tried to get on the Internet.

Hello rebmisha

Try to factory reset the extender and try to use the setup wizard to connect to the router. Also make sure the router is WPA2 security.

Oh, I've tried that...several times. No luck

It's been a difficult nut to crack.  It seems that AT&T's Uverse modem/router (Pace 5268 AC) has some secret setting that blocks the signal to Netgear and Linksys range extenders.  As a workaround, I set up a separate network using my Linksys router (I connected my router with an Ethernet cable to one of the ports on the Pace router) and therefore one would think that the range extender connecting to my alternate network would work.  But still no luck.  In fact, when the range extender is plugged in to the network, it BLOCKS access to websites.
