There are some apps out there that can look for interference, and help you select a reasonable channel.
But you could just set it to use the channel it's selected now.
You might also try setting the 5 Ghz channel to the highest channel number on the list, and see if that is more stable.
Hi thanks for your reply
No it drops out just very odd

What firmware is running in the EX8000s?
Are the R9000 radios set to "auto"? If so, perhaps try setting them to fixed channels.

Hi
Thanks again for your reply just to cover off part of your earlier rply Firmware version on the EX8000 is 1.0.1.186
So just to reply your suggestion and ensure that I have understood Fix both Channels to the current setting on the Nighthawk X10 R9000 router try the 5GHz on a higher channel than the current channel
Then set the SSID names on the EX8000 to the same SSID as the EX10 router
Thanks
