1. what modem are you using?
2. what firmware is on the rax200?
3. What firmware are you currently on?

Has this issue been resolved? I'm having a similar problem with full bars but frequently dropped connection from extender. Current settings:
Extender: EX8000
firmware v1.0.1.224
Router: RAX45
firmware v1.0.2.66_2.0.42
I'm reluctant to spend 2 hours on the phone with support and risk no results. So any advice here would be appreciated!
