EXS27 BE5000 Constantly Dropping!

I have this issue SINCE I PURCHASED this expensive wifi7 extender.
ALL my IOS devices continue to drop for 10-30 seconds on a daily basis.
WITH NO FIX insight. no matter any update i do. The realbility of this extender is horrile.

Iv reinstalled/resetup multiple times

Changed channels.

Done anything i can find on google, with NO FIX.

    iOS devices drop WiFi exactly one time every 24 hours?

    They reconnect without you doing anything, and remain connected until the next day?

    What host wifi router is the EXS connected too?

    Distance in between the host wifi router and EXS extender? 30 feet would be starting distance depending on building materials. 

    What channels are you using on the host wifi router? 

    Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 to 48 channel on 5Ghz.

    Any WiFi neighbors near by? If so, how many? 

    What firmware is on the EXS?

  • Have this same exact problem. Got mine 4 days ago and it randomly disconnects multiple times a day. Im looking through the app and dont even see a “channel” setting anywhere either
