I suggest checking that the EX8000 is running the most recent firmware.

 

Also, try to connect a client device to the C7800 wifi from the EX8000's location, and see what speeds you get when you bypass the extender.  Try doing this using all three bands of the C7800. If you are using the same SSIDs in the EX8000 as you are in the main router, then turn the extender off during this test.

 

Setting up the extender again might help, especially if your older router wasn't tri-band.
