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).
