R7900 with EX8000 extender issues
I have the R7900 wireless router with the EX8000 set up as a range extender. I have Smart Connect turned off, with both channels separated. The extender drops the network connection multiple times ...
I am having the same issues with this X8000 extender. It is drving me crazy as I am working and all the connections to this mesh gets dropped with no signs. The lights on the Mesh are all showing ok. This Mesh has some serious issues as I wanted to extend the WiFi and have some stable ethernet ports in my computer room for 3 computers and 2 network printers. I hope this gets fixed soon.
I have had no luck trying all the suggestions from thw different threads. I have since unplugged the extender and now my WiFi is working perfectly. It is very upsetting that this happened and because I'm out of Netgear support I'm getting zero help and this $200 extender is now a boat anchor. I am considering just throwing the Netgear suite out the window and going with an all Google solution.
