assuming you had static IP..

I've given the AP a static address AND I have allowed DHCP to assign it an address. Either way, it gets the same address as this is how my router is configured.

I can ping the router regadrless of having a Static or DHCP assigned address.

you had static IP set on this pc since you can ping the router correct?

setup static IP on PC side ...... and test since dhcp is not passing

what is the IP on extender and PC's IP

there is useless to hide private ip...

2 as extender and 10 as PC ?

I was able to figure out that the issue was/is. There is what appears to be a bug in the latest firmware. It manifest itself one or two ways.

1. IF you are using the ACL feature of a Netgear router the extender will not be able to assign IP address to the devices that connect to it. ( I beleive the reason is it isn't capable of passing on its MAC address to the router properly) You must turn ACL off for it to work.

2. IF you are using DHCP on your router AND address reservation AND you only have the exact number of IP address that you need being assigned out then the extender will not be able to assigne out the predefined address reservation you've set. You must expand your DHCP pool beyond the exact number of oredefined IP address and it will select from them. (And again in this case, I beleive the reason is it isn't capable of passing on its MAC address to the router properly)

Take aways...
Turn off ACL and expand your DHCP pool.

Netgear Tech Supp was no help this..the simply wanted to follow their script.... :-(
