EX6150 5ghz drop
Hi everybody
i have used my EX6150 with 2.4ghz for years without any problem. Now that i bought a modem/router that supports 5ghz I tried to configure the extender to use such bandwith. The extender succesfully connect to the 5ghz wifi but then the connection drop down and only with a power off/on cycle I can get it back.
Does anybody experienced the same issue? Any suggestions?
Firmware Version: V1.0.0.34_1.0.69
Thank you for your help!

What router are you connecting it to?
Are you setting it up using wps or using the installation assistant?

I couldn't find much info on that router (never a good sign)
A couple things you can try.
1. update the firmware on that extender. Looks a couple behind
2. setup the extender with a static ip address in your router
