Do the EAX80 as a pair really do that?
ive a pair of EX8000 and are as stable as can be. The only time they throw a fit is if the router has been turned off. Placement is key but they should not loop one they connect to the router and it's a stable Wi-fi.
Info is a bit limited but if you have not done a reset on the router after upgrading I would do that with the pin hole method and remember not to use any saved profiles afterwards.

they don't inherently connect to each other. But if for some reason they get disconnected from the router and one connects to the other extender, it increases the latency/lowers the speed and then if the other extender has the same happen........it causes the looping.
The only time its recommended to use the mesh setup when you're running multiple extenders is if the extenders aren't in range of each other. Which gets less common the better extenders get.
Otherwise its best to have one extender on its own ssid.
