I experienced exactly the same issue with the version 210.
I did a roll back to 206... seems to be better
Hope Netgear will fix this bug.
Config:
Nighthawk R7000 fw up-to-date
EX 7700 fw 206
same issue here, no stable 5ghz connection.
rolled back to 206 and everything is working again.
really hope for a fix, because 210 seems to be a security update...
i'm really disapointed. These are my first Netgear Products (XR500 + EX7700 Extender),
i never got so many problems during updates on other manufactors before...
- I had same issue,latest firmware 210 causes connection issues with android and iPhone devices, keeps saying incorrect password.
Found on forum a solution as stated from many users is to roll back the firmware back to 206 firmware.
You need a laptop to do this, download 206 firmware and save to desktop, log into your Extender via ethernet cable, select firmware update, and upload 206 firmware disc file, takes a few minutes. Once done reboot Extender and problem is now fixed, all devices maintain connection and no drop outs! Remember also to uncheck auto firmware update whilst on status page when logged into Extender.
