I've tried resetting all devices to factory settings.
I've setted up the router first, then the extender.
Exact same issue: The wifi from RAX40 router disapears as soon as I connect the extender.
I've found that the RAX40 with firmware version V1.0.3.80 has a lot of wifi issues: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-Routers-with-WiFi-6-AX/Nighthawk-Rax40-router-stops-sending-the-beacon-SSID-after-TP/m-p/1924575#M9097
Someone mentioned downgrading to the firmware version V1.0.3.64.
Do you know how I can do that ?
You download the old firmware then just follow the manual firmware update process from the manual. Fairly easy to do and worth trying.
