Try just changing one of the devices names. If one of the extenders is using a different ssid, potentially it keeps the other from connecting to it. I recommend the EX7700 as it has the slower backhaul than the EX8000.

Use the "smart connect" option so the ssid's are all the same for 2.4ghz/5ghz. Parenthesis will be names

go:

EX7700 (Home2)<-----------RAX200 (Home)--------->EX8000 (Home)

if that doesn't work, then just use different names for the extenders. but again, use smart connect so your not having seperate names for each band as well.

so:

EX7700 (Home2)<--------RAX200(Home)---------->EX8000 (Home3)

Hi,

First of all, thanks for you answer.

I performed some tests, and I got a strange result :

RAX create Home-2G + Home-5G-44 and Home-5G-100 (ch 44 & 100)
EX7700 using Home-2G + Home-5G-100 to create a unique Home-EX7700
EX8000 using Home-2G + Home-5G-xx to create a unique Home-EX80000

If EX8000 uses Home-5G-44 as input, the new Home-EX8000 is strange : for example, smartphone (Galaxy S20 + Galaxy S20 FE) are unable to use this wifi (said as connected without Interne). If a stop mobile data on these phones, there is really no internet (checked with google page). But computer (laptop + tower) are able to connect on Internet...

If EX8000 uses Home-5G-100 as input, everything is fine on Home-EX8000.

This 2nd configuration (EX8000 on 5G-100) is active and being tested for stability. I will try later to merge all RAX to a single SSID.

Best Regards,
