On an Ubuntu 16.04 host with WIN 10 VirtualBox guest, I'm using a Bridge Adapter network connection. The internet connection worked just fine until I added a wireless network extender.
That extended wireless connection is preventing the WIN 10 guest to obtain an IPV4 address (although the host works fine).
I can browse IPV6 enabled sites, such as Google and Facebook. But the majority of websites won't load.
I've tried ipconfig /release /renew /dnsflush, removing the device driver and reinstalling in the WIN 10 guest. A IPV4 connection is never established. Beyond these I'm not sure how else to resolve.
Any ideas on how to troubleshoot or fix this?
Edit: The host is on a wireless connection and the extender is a wi-fi extender. The extender is connected to the router over wi-fi and is broadcasting the same SSID as the wireless router.

1What kind of extender? Wired or wireless uplink? The latter type have to do L2 NAT, so they might be confused by a single client MAC trying to obtain multiple IP addresses. (I'm assuming the host itself is using Wi-Fi to connect...) – user1686 – 2018-09-01T21:32:04.270
Yes @grawity thanks for the questions.... I missed those details. The host is on a wireless connection and it's a wifi extender. The extender is broadcasting the same SSID as the wireless router. – slatica – 2018-09-01T23:29:07.137
Yes, but is the extender itself connected to the main router over Wi-Fi or over Ethernet? – user1686 – 2018-09-02T09:51:38.590
@grawity the extender is connected over wi-fi. – slatica – 2018-09-02T13:19:04.103
