Help Connecting to Wifi extender

[Pinkpanthr]

Hi guys,
I recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2. I cannot connect to my wifi extender which is the netgear wn2000rpt v2. It continues to display the "obtaining IP address" message. Connecting directly to my router is fine, it only hiccups with the extender.

Any reason why this is happening and what the solution may be.

Thanks for your help.

Happy new year!
