ARP poisoning EX8000 Nighthawk

After installing my EX8000 extender all went well-- it was set up thru my router, seemingly that went well. I moved to a different part of  the house, but on same floor as the router. Ever since I have installed this i continously get ARP Cache Poisoning attack and seemingly when i run my ESET scan of the "network" the extender is listed as having a network threat. thus the reason I think the IP 192 etc address shows up under the computer info in my ESET notification.  Since this was not a problem before, apparently it is becuase of this extender. My security catches it , but I want to find out how to solve this problem as i do not want my system exposed., I will also add that it is my personal laptop that seems to identify the threat. I do not get any notifications from my work laptop.

    Hi sag19, apologies for the delayed response. We'd like get more info.

     

    1. What is the firmware version of the EX8000?

    2. Please provide us with a screenshot of the exact message that you get from your security software.

      I am experiencing the same issue with ESET reporting ARP cache poison attack from the IP address of the extender.
