Not Connecting

i have a virtually new TL-WA855RE. Ever since I have changed the computers to replace ones that developed major hardware issues, the new computers do not automatically connect to the extension router. Moreover, they do not connect at all without restarting all computers on the network.

Here are the steps:
  1. On the main router, interface->wireless->access point set up - make sure you have fixed channel number and not 'auto'
  2. wpa/wpa2-psk authentication type set to AES.
  3. interface set-up-> LAN settings - IP pool count is set sufficiently high so the static IP of your extender falls within the range.
