I'm also having similar issues as you describe with my WN3000RP and R7000 router.

I currently have a ticket open with Netgear support to try and resolve this problem.

I first started having this issue when I replaced my DLINK DIR-645 wifi router with the Netgear R7000.

Before that, the extender was rock solid and ran for weeks without any connection issues.

After replacing the router with the R7000 I started having dropped connections between the WN3000RP and the R7000 once every 24 hours.

When it does happen, I can connect the the extender wifi but cant access anything beyond the extender.

Every time the extender drops connection to the router, I find all the lights on the front of the extender are green and healthy.

Only after cycling power to the extender is the connection re-established.

This NEVER happened previously when my extender was paired with my DLINK DIR-645 wifi router.

My guess is the problem is with the router (R7000 in my case) not the extender

Is your firmware updated on the R7000?
If your firmware is updated then I would try downgrading firmware. I would try something earlier and see if this helps. Sometime things work differently in different firmwares.
