Firmware updated EX8000 keeps dropping Internet

Hi all,
A bit new to all this but I also have an issue with the EX8000 dropping the internet to my wired devices.
I have three PCs wired to the EX8000 and this inturn is wirelessly connected to my Netgear R7000 Nighthawk. The R7000 has been really good but since connecting the EX8000 I have issues with my PCs dropping the internet, even though they are wired.
I saw a thread relating to setting a static IP address but not so sure how I would do this, on the R7000 or EX8000??
I have had the same issues since day one. I downloaded the latest firmware on Sunday and surprisingly it’s holding up. Only time will tell.
The latest firmware isn’t available yet from the extender, you will have to download it from Netgear’s download page. Don’t forget to unzip the file, you need to upload the *.Img file.
good luck to you
