RAX200 with EX8000 extender configuration

What is the best practice to configure a RAX200 with an EX8000 extender? I keep having connectivity issues when moving between the zones (hand-over issues). Have to toggle WiFi off/on.

I've got an RAX200 and the EX8000 and they've been stable for me when I've been running them.

SmartConnect has been disabled all along..

The EX is assigned to 5G-1.

What modem are you using?

Arris SB8200

What firmware is on the RAX?

V1.0.2.88

Firmware on the EX?

V1.0.1.206

I noticed this post... not very promising..
