I'm having some issues connecting my Macbook to this extender, my phone is connecting regardless of the extender settings so it is a Macbook specific connection issue, however, the device is advertised as MacOS compatible.

On the Macbook side I have updated the Macbook's DCHP Lease, and tried switching between dynamic and static IP's for all of the below tests.

On the extender settings I have whitelisted the MAC addresses of Macbook and my phones to ensure that wasn't the issue. I also had the same SSID as the original router but that made it more difficult to debug so I switched it back to a different one.

Tests I have tried (see attached screenshot):

• Connecting with no security = working
• Connecting with WEP security = working
• Connecting with WPA/WPA2, WPA-PSK rotating every combination of extender setting = not working
• Connecting with WPA/WPA2, WPA2-PSK rotating every combination of extender setting = not working

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a workaround as I don't really want to be using WEP? Or should I send this device back?

Hardware list
