I also have this same problem. Has anyone tried to downgrade the firmware and confirmed that it solves the problem?
Sorry to spam this thread; I was researching to buy the exact same set of equipment - RAX40 with extender EAX20.
Apologies for some basic questions: are these compatible and is my (poor) understanding correct that the range extender can be set up to boost the signal of the modem wireless/ you don’t have to feed the range extender with a wired network feed?

- Hi,
Yes you are correct. This extends your wireless without the need for a cable. As for the comparability, yes they are comparable as long as the RAX40 router is not on the latest firmware. This seems to be due to a bug in the latest firmware.
The EAX20 can be on the latest firmware however. Hopefully the RAX40 firmware is fixed in the next release
