Netgear Ex8000 causing interference
I purchased the NETGEAR Nighthawk Smart Wi-Fi Router (R6700) - AC1750… Then I purchased the NETGEAR Wi-Fi Mesh Range Extender EX8000. Everything seemed to work perfectly together. I recently updated ...
Are you ewanting the factory reset / firware upgrade on the Routefr or Extendar?
Either? Both?
the R6700 recently got updated to netgear armor which has had its own issues. both devices respond well to a factory reset.
The reason I said either/both is because its stable when the extender isn't running but that doesn't automatically mean its the extender.
i'd start with just resetting them both and seeing how they function. If there's issues I'd downgrade the extender first by a version and then the router by a version
I am still having issues. Whenever I have my extendar on for a day it sems to cause wi-fi connection issues with my wi-ti router. my wi-fi signal keeps going on and off. When I turn off the extendar everything, I beleive, is better.
I have moved back the firmware of both devices and tried variety of tests but I keep lloosing my wifi connection. when my extendar is on.
Is there a way I can test one, the other, both together?

You can try putting the extender in AP mode (access point). It has to be hardwired to the router.
Its worth a shot to see if they both stay stable or crash while its in extender mode.
I had same issue, I stopped using extender and moved router to more central location, it's not ideal but nothing else works, I purchased the extender in with comfort of having similarities between router and extender but it does not appear they work well together and I do not prefer to do the troubleshooting for a product that should have already been tested beforehand for compatibility. I'm not thrilled at all,
