are you getting it while trying to log into the router or extender?
Or when visiting sites?
If its visiting sites, try disabling apples random mac/ip address feature.

HI,
The Router is connected to a TPLink TL-R470T+ Hub, connected to 4G Box
The R7800 router's firmware is V1.0.2.90
The EX7300 Extender's firmware is 1.0.0.146
I don't really know what is the connexion when it happens. It seems both was I'm either closer to the router or the extender..
Thank you

the tplink is its own router. It causes a double nat if you're running that and the netgear in router mode.
A double nat happens when you cascade more than 1 router.

Fixes? There’s 3 options but only use 1.
1. Put the modem/gateway in modem only/pass through mode. This disables its routing functions. Kind of pointless with a load balancing router like the tp-link.
2. Leave the modem/gateway in router mode but put the Netgears IP address into its DMZ. This forwards the data to the netgear. You can either leave the modem/gateway’s wireless enabled or disabled. Just make sure its using a different wifi channel to prevent interference
3. Put the Netgear into access point mode. This disables its routing functions. Wifi/ethernet still works but it does disable some features.
