eax80 loses connection

So netgear eax80. I properly connect the device to the router and the device works for about 1 hour and later the speed of device drops very low and device loses wifi signal and I have to reset it, meanwhile router works fine! Smart connect option is off, I get 2.4ghz and 5ghz speeds from router and connect to eax on both connections. Eax work fine for 1 hour and speed and connections drops. Router and eax80 have new firmware. I tried all connection options, tried router and eax80 in ac mode also, nothing works. Eax80 is not first product that i owned from netgear but is far worse. Help/solutions anybody?

    What router is it connected to?

    When the speeds are low, log into the extender and check its backhaul settings/connection info and post them back here.

      Router is Arcadyan VRV9518BA-2C. I will check info and send it.

        I yesterday connect router and eax80 trought fastlane connection, from router 2.4 to eax80 5. No connection loss so far, eax80 is working stabile and no loss or drop of speed, connections. It is very odd, only working fine in fast lane.
