Have you recently changed the wireless key or wireless encryption method on the ezhotspot extender and that the client devices can no longer join to the ezhotspot extender? This may be the case where some client devices' operating system do not inform about an incorrect wireless key or security encryption as currently stored on the client itself (Especially if the wifi QR-Code was used to join the ezhotspot). The client device will keep trying to join and without prompting an incorrect wireless key error.  

Forgetting a wireless network on your client device is often a useful strategy when troubleshooting wireless network problems, particularly if your configuration or wireless key for the wireless network may be incorrect. This article provides instructions on how to forget a wireless network on various operating systems and client device types.
