Firmware version? Note: The "new" 1.0.1.78 Mesh-Feature-Version (out for 10 months!) is cumbersome, you should revert to EX7000 Firmware Version 1.0.0.66, factory reset, and reconfigure from scratch.
Extender or AP mode?
Extender in FastLane or normal dual-band?
What does the EX7000 status page show - screenshots please ...
- while connected?
- when connection to the Internet is lost?
What are the front panel LED showing, specifically (top-down)
- 2.4 GHz Link Rate LED
- 5 GHz Link Rate LED
- Device to Extender LED

What does make the impression the product is cheap?
What features (options) are missing in your opinion?

If the extender isn't able to establish or retain an Internet connection, one might experience that the product registration does fail, and is re-called on every new connection or login attempt.
