Which version of the firmware are you on?
do they stay stable if only 1 of them is running?
Are they running in mesh mode?
reason I ask is in mesh mode, they connect back to the primary router's ssid. If the routers ssid drops/fluctuates, they can end up connecting to each other and not back to the router. It causes instabilities and issues. Its why I usually recommend a full mesh system like orbi if people are needing more than 1 extender.
If its stable running with only 1 unit, it could be that. Its an easy fix, you simply disable mesh on 1 device and run it with its own ssid so they don't end up connecting to each other
