Adding 3 Airport Extremes to Linksys WGT4400N in Bridge Mode Not working

Question

I have a network that starts in a homerun closet and is expanded across 5 acres to differnet locations via CAT5e.
Homerun Closet has Linksys WGT4400N with Cat5e running to three different locations on property. The cables are within length limitations.
1st Airport Extreme N Running in Bridge Mode Connected and Working in Main House
2nd Airport Extreme N Running in Bridge Mode Connected and Working in Guest House
3rd Airport Extreme Replaced with new one Connected and Not Working in Office. This Airport Extreme N is configured just like the others but it cannot see the network. Cables Verified with Testers and Mac Pro at office location, works when ethernet cable is directly connected to system.
Not sure what is going on. IS there s limit to the number of Airport Extreme N's used as bridges?
I have 2 of ther working and the last is not. First Airport Extreme N for office was bad replaced.
Thank You

The Netgear wireless server has control over what what devices are allowed to connect.
Unless you tell the Netgear what devices you want to allow to connect, it will allow any wireless device to connect as long as it knows the wireless network password.
IF.... .you were using two AirPort Extremes, and not a Netgear, the two Extremes would communicate to each other....so you would only have to enter Timed Access settings on one router and other AirPort would automatically pick those settings up.
But, even this was not the case until the last year or so when Apple updated firmware.  A few years ago, you might have had 2 Apple AirPort Extremes on the network, but you still had to manually set up Timed Access on both devices separately.
Bottom line, you need to setup the equivalent of Timed Access on the Netgear router.
