Recently, the extender has been acting strange with the connection going in and out. This occurred after the router (Nighthawk) being updated. A new firmware update has come out for the EX7000 but eve...
Eli,
You're not the only one, I'm having the same issue here =/.
1) Edit: Follow this link:
https://kb.netgear.com/000060211/EX7000-Firmware-Version-1-0-1-78
2) Scroll down the page until you see:
"Download Link: http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/EX7000/EX7000-V1.0.1.78_1.0.140.zip "
3) Save the file and unzip it (you will be uploading the file with the .chk extension). Once that is complete, log into mywifiext.net and go to firmware upgrade. Go to your downloads folder and find the unzipped folder. On mywifiext, navigate to firmware upgrade, select browse, then click on the .chk file and upload it. It'll take a minute or two, but it worked for me =]!
Hope this helps!
Edit (again): This is a direct link to the new firmware.

Hi,
I've also been having nothing but problems with my EX7000 (used in AP mode) since the V1.0.1.78_1.0.140 firmware upgrade.
I've just disabled the "Smart Connect" feature (which I can't see how this would be relevant in AP mode anyway...) and so far it seems to be working OK.
Hope that helps.
