Remember that "extenders" do often fail like this. There are sometimes reasons and to be clear, no one I know deploys extenders. We'll use powerline wifi units or WAPs.

Are all the devices compatible?

You need to configure the Wifi extender along with the ISP details, Gateway and router login credentials for the internet to work. This will only work ,if the all the devices are compatible.
