EX6200 drops 2.4GHZ connection every day or so
For some reason my EX6200 drops the 2.4GHZ connection every day or so. The 5GHZ is fine and both my 2.4 and 5GHZ connections on the router are fine. Rebooting fixes the issue for another day or s...
(Recording this here for posterity - someone might find it useful later...)
Another interesting observation about 2.4Ghz reception (its connection to the main router) of my EX6200. If I position it in clear sight of my main router, everything looks fine (the Netgear Genie status page shows it's getting 144Mbps, and at least -40dBm)... for about 5 minutes. Then, although the signal strength remains strong, the speed of the connection drops to 24Mbps, then 5Mbps a few minutes later. This surely indicates a pretty fundamental problem with the device? No wonder 2.4Ghz clients are getting poor performance from the extender!
This pile of junk is going back to Amazon UK.

I had the same problem with the latest and current firmware. However after I selected 2.4 GHz for "Ethernet ports to WiFi use the following band:" and saved this change, the 2.4 Ghz connection remained up and running at 300Mbps instead of 24 Mbps.
