N300 wifi extender, all lights solid green, but devices wont connect

Hi,

I have been using this wifi extender for some time with no issues. But in the last day all devices have stopped connected to it. They are saying failed to obtain IP address. Noting else seems to have changed with the extender, all the lights are as they should be, so I am not sure what has actually happened to it.
I have done multiple factory resets to see it that sorts it, but same issue when I get it set up again.
Any advice appreciated, can't seem to find anyone with a similar issue on here.

Thanks

Marcus

Hi @Marcus-Downs,

 

Welcome to the community!

 

1. What is the firmware version of the extender?

2. Do your devices connect fine with the main network without any IP issues?

Solved now.

Devices were connecting to router fine, just not the extender. But then I realised I hadn't tried doing a reset to the router. Doing that solved the problem.
