(Migrated from SuperUser.com due to complete lack of answers!)

I installed a Linksys WRE54G range expander. It's working fine with my Windows 7 laptop, but not so much with my Palm Pre and my Ubuntu netbook. Both of the 2 problematic devices act the same... they see the wireless network, say they're "connecting" for a long time, then finally fail saying they can't get an IP address.

Unfortunately, I think this leaves me in "finger pointing hell" where I won't be able to get support from any vendor, because they will each point to the other as the culprit.

The best way to draw attention to your question is to post additional detail. (closing for an odd reason - to avoid sending a dupe over to SU) – Kara Marfia Jan 21 '10 at 13:47

Can they get a connection directly from the WAP? If so, then it's a problem with the range expander. If not, then it's a problem with the WAP or the devices.
