Thanks for picking up this thread.
1. Yes, I've tried two factory resets and no luck
2. I'm looking via a wifi analysis tool (Wifi Explorer) and I see the signal completely drop (and obviously any connected devices lose their connections)

Community TeamI’m also having this issue with the ex8000 dropping all my connections except it happens when I switch my PS4 on or off, I assume it’s the same process as putting a pc to sleep or waking it.
Can Netgear please provide us with a fix, and not just a “have you tried switching it on and off again?” Type response
