EX8000 AC3000 Tri-Band WIFI Range Extender wont work with Apple devices

 Any Apple products hooked to the extender do not connec to internet.  They do connect to the extender, but there is no network connection to internet.   Mircosoft computers and Android devices work just fine with either network, but the range extender will not let Apple products connect to internet.(Macbook ,IPAD ,Iphone )  I've reset everything numerous times, reset factory default and programmed again, etc, all with no improvement.

Which router are you connecting the extender to? 

What firmware is on the extender? 

Did you set it up using the installation assistant or using the wps install method? 

What wireless security method are you using?

Something to try? 

If you've got a friend/family member, try installing it on their system and see if the mac devices connect and work. the router is the backbone of the system. Just to ensure it isn't a router issue when using an extender.
