Hi Netgear,
I have the same problem, my range extender is dropping connections very often with my netgear nighthawk R7000. As many of you I use netgear for many years now, but it is becoming anoying to everytime unplug and plug in device. I already moved the range extender to different locations in my house 1st floor, 2nd floor, outside in the garden but still dropping connections and even not able to connect to device as well even network is available. Please provide a solution.

Hi Netgear
im experiencing the same problem as those above. Latest firmware, many resets, only solution is to turn it off and move closer to the router to get my work done!
is there a solution or do we own lemons?
ill be taking this piece of trash back if Netgear can’t resolve the issue.

Having the same issue and more so after the most recent firmware upgrade. Is there a fix? Netgear, you are ruining your brand here. Please come up with a resolution. I have a R7000 and two ex7500 and I am about to get rid of them all.
