WN3000RP adquiring IP address problem

I successfully extended wifi range from my Vodafone ADSL router (Huawei HG556a) using a WN3000RP, after disabling MAC Address filtering on the router.

Configuration was done using Method 2 (no WPS) of Quick Installation Guide with my SmartPhone. I am able to navegate with no problem from that device.

However, all other devices (smartphone, portable PCs, etc.) do not connect.
A message stating "Adquiring IP address from " stays on forever.

Does the Wifi Extender supports only one device at a time?
Does every device connected to the extender present the same MAC address to the ADSL router?

thank you for your input.
