Firmware updated EX8000 keeps dropping Internet
Hi all,
I have read about multiple issued relating to the R8000 but I seem to be experiencing a similar issue with your EX8000 mesh range extender.I regularly experience an issue (perhaps once ...
Hi,
i had similar issues with my EX8000. After I updated to lastest firmware 1.0.0.126 the internet connection of all my devices connected to the extender was a nightmare and it was unstable...
I tried to reset, reinstall, change extender WiFi configuration but nothing worked. So before sending it back to Amazon I downgraded it to the 1.0.0.118 version and now after 18 working days (24H/24H always on) it is working flawless.
My suggestion is to downgrade to 1.0.0.118 and let us know if you solve.
Hope this helps you.
P.S. In the last period I am very unhappy with Netgear products, everytime there is an update I start to pray ( see for example to the Arlo Q camera forum).
Thanksfor your advice. I will give it a try. Bying the best you would expect the best. Perhaps I should look at CIsco or Aruba if this does not work.
Thanks again for your advice. I tried out your suggestion and while I would say it did seem a tad better it didn't fully help to maintain a permanent connect. I am going to send it back.
I’m sorry. My last suggestion is did you try to set a fixed (No DFS) 5GHz Channel in your main Router? Also did you try to disable one WiFi name option on EX8000 ?
Hope this helps you.
