Netgear Mesh AX1600 EAX12 loses wifi connection
Hi, I have a problem with this repeater, Happens a few times that it loses the wifi connection and then after 10-20 seconds it reactivates. Is there any way to solve this annoying problem?

Hi, my main router is a ZTE H2640, I installed the latest firmware on the extender, my house is about 140 square meters, but in any case the problem is that it also disconnects from devices that are within a couple of meters , in practice the green light of the "wifi" turns off and after 10-20 seconds it turns on again, between the main router and the extender there is only one concrete wall that has never given me problems even with an old repeater that i had no easymesh technology and another brand. I configured the extender via WPS because unfortunately the app didn't work and I had to do it this way

a couple things.
1. concrete blocks wifi really well. Literally one of the best materials for blocking wifi. Maybe the old one worked better because power levels didn't change for AX on broadcasting. and its trying to connect at higher speeds.
2. wps between manufacturer's sucks. Its not supposed to. but you see many that code it different and it causes issues.
Try factory resetting the extender and trying the installation assistant again.
