The 7700 is a POS. I have paid a pretty penny for this and it doesn’t work as per all the comments in this thread. Netgear has no intention of fixing this, so you will be stuck with this frustratingly non functional white elephant. Shame on you Netgear. I will take my business elsewhere.

Virgin Media Hub 3 (In Modem mode) - R8000 Router - EX7700 Extender
Reading through the 50 or so postings on this thread I am so disappointed with Netgear for allowing the state of affairs to continue for two years without resolution.
I (foolishly) have been throwing money at the problem, replacing old kit with new under the misapprehension that was the probable root cause. Most recently I have bought a new Printer Epson WF-7210 and that is the final straw for me as it connects to the Extender most of the time and whilst connected is a great replacement for my aging Brother Printer/Scanner but I am still getting the same issues with the extender seemingly ignoring devices that hibernate and not reconnecting. Enough is enough, I am now going to explore alternative brands after exausting my loyalty to Netgear
