My EX8000 just has solid 2.4 light and won't reset. seems dead.
My Nighthawk X6S AC3000 EX8000 all of a sudden went dead and just shows the 2.4Ghz light. Rebooting it does nothing - same light only lit. Holding in reset button flashes the power light red but do...
Well a week ago my ex8000 bricked again. Pushed firmware with tftp64 again. Many conflicts with DHCP not obeying reservation table. IP address conflicts. Virtual MAC addresses that didn't make any sense. Decided it was time to end the frustration.
The Nighthawk R9000 and EX8000 were my stepping stone while mesh systems got better. I bit the bullet and smashed the EX8000 to pieces.
Bought an Eero pro 6 system and couldn't be happier. It may not have all the powerful networking abilities of a normal router, but my network transitioned simply. A $30 switch gave me more ports. My wifi is stronger faster and more reliable than ever. My wireless cameras have not dropped once. The simplicity of the Eero app and DHCP reservations blew me away. Everything is amazing and stress free.

Hope the eero stays working well for you!
I've actually been looking at their 6e model as its pretty decent priced for a triband mesh system
