EX6200| AC12000 Wifi Range Extender: Ethernet keeps dropping when gaming

EX6200| AC12000 Wifi Range Extender

Firmware is up to date

 

The extender holds up fine for the most part except when playing online games such as Fortnite. Every game,the connection will be spotty at best. Usually a minute or two into the game, the Ethernet will be completely disconnected while the WIFI bands hold up great.

 

I've tried multiple ports but they all seem to shutdown at once when I play Fortnite in particular. Resetting the extender gives me temporary relief until I start the next game. The extender never disconnects except for this reason for as long as I have remembered.

 

Open to any advice!

Cheers

    Have you tried to adjust the wireless channels on the extender or relocate the extender?
