When the router restarts, EX8000 cannot automatically reconnect the router and must restart EX8000. If you return to the V1.0.1.180 , It' OK.

I also had problem with my EX8000 and Firmware 1.0.1.186, client wifi issues infact they loose internet connection every few hours.
I downgraded to 1.0.1.180 and it is more stable.

I also downgraded to 1.0.1.180 and it seems more stable. Another thing you want to try is don't set your router to auto select the channels&nbsp;for either 2,4 GHz or 5 GHz. It seem to hold up longer.

I have the same problem and constant client&nbsp;wifi&nbsp;issues where I&nbsp;have&nbsp;to reboot extender&nbsp;every&nbsp;1 hours or so. The&nbsp;latest&nbsp;firmware&nbsp;V1.0.1.186 doesn't solve any of these issues.

I did the same thing. I find it more stable, but honestly it is very annoying how often it loses connection. Another bug I see even with the older firmware,  is every time the extender restart it doesn’t keep the Wi-Fi settings. I can’t keep the extender from not broadcasting the Wi-Fi. I use my extender as a way to hardwire my Xbox in, but I find more issues when I use the extender to extend Wi-Fi as well. As odd as it sounds I only use the EX8000 as a LAN extension. At least until the connection is more stable with the XR500 router. What happens is the EX8000 creates multiple devices and assigns a different “virtual” MAC address. Making it impossible to assign a IP address or use the XR500 advanced gaming features. Lol I turn all WiFi off on the extender. It is much better than Xbox one x connection to WiFi (router is on other side of house)
