Firmware updated EX8000 keeps dropping Internet

I have to say, the original post was in ‎2018-05-17 09:16 PM. It is now 11th July 2020 and the issue is still persistent... Over Two years.

I purchased the EX8000 Extender as apparently, all the review sites suggest this as the most powerful extender. First device arrived, would randomly drop connections. Devices connected to the router (Virgin Media Hub 3.0) via wifi or ethernet router would stay online. Devices connected to the Extender via ethernet or wifi would randomly drop. I agree with the review sites in that the device is powerful, although they seem to have forgotten to mention it won't last and will cut you off at some point.

Went through two tickets with support and it was decided the device must be faulty. Got a new device sent across and judging by what I am experiencing with this one, all the devices must be faulty. Quite honestly have never had this many issues with any other device in my life.

Is there a single person on this forum who has this extender and does not have any issues with it? I should not have to go through this much trouble and research into a product to try and find a fix that is non existent as I can't find a single thread from Netgear that even acknowledges this seems to be a community wide issues for users of this device.

Can any of the members of this forum recommend a good extender (price is not an issue) that can match the speed that the Nighthawk X6S EX8000 Extender can provide without the constant dropping connections?

Just to note, I've been trying everything suggested in various threads and I am not going to spend more time trying to fix something that obviously cannot be fixed by the company that created the device or the experienced members of this forum.
