    Here's a strange case, guys. I have an AEBS that has two routers connected to it,cascaded as extenders. After some time,i notice that my ipad and macbook cant connect to the internet while on the AEBS wifi network. When it connects to the extension router's wifi,my macs connect fine. Ive tried cycling it and resetting it but the problem still persists.
    Please leave give me your opinions and diagnosis. Thanks in advance

    Go to Mac's Preferences>Network>Wifi>Advance. Remove that AEBS from the Preferred Networks. Try connecting again.

    Are you using WPA/WPA2 Personal for your wireless security on your Airport Utility? If not, try using it instead.

    Did you set your AEBS to bridge mode?

    If it gives you problems manually change each device's channel.

    My friend had problems when AEBS in bridge mode connected to Sky Broadband modem+router.
    I ended up disabling bridge mode and just cascaded the routers via double-NAT. It's not ideal but it's the only setup that works.

    I have an AEBS (bridge mode) connected to my Globe's DSL Modem router+WIFI (via cable). No problems whatsoever. The DSL modem acts as DHCP server which supplies the IPs/DNS info to all my devices. iPhones, iPads, MBA, MBP connect normally.
