Nighthawk X10 R9000 Router and Nighthawk X4S EX7500 Extender Issues
Just replaced my R8300 with the R9000 (V1.0.3.6) and also using EX7500 (V1.0.0.38). After bringing the EX7500 into the network many wireless devices frequently drop and re-add to the network (monitored in Netgear Genie), IP Addresses are frequently changed (using DHCP), the R9000 seems to forget many device types I previously updated (reported in Network Map), and the R9000 just does not seem to play well with the EX7500.
Are there issues with compatibility? What suggestions do you have?

Additional information - after running for several hours the devices connected to the EX7500 5G extended network loose Internet Connectivity but are still connected to my local network. Unplugged the EX7500 and all those devices immediately had Internet Connectivity restored. Plugged in the EX7500 again and this cycle repeats.
