Nighthawk X6S Tri-Bank WiFi Mesh Extender

Have Netgear Nighthawk X65 AC4000 Tri-Band WiFi Router. Wanted to extend the range to connect to solar panels. Connected Nighthawk X6S Tri-Band WiFi Mesh Extender. Worked to sync with Solar.  But now the blink security system with not connect to the WiFi network. Blink tech support says it is a problem with Netgear.  Any ideas???  Also Ring doorbell now not connect.  Thank you.

    Hi EPtacek, welcome to the community! Do you have either the Smart Connect or One WiFi Name enabled on the EX8000? Or do you have different SSIDs/WiFi name for your router and extender? Did you make any other changes to you wireless settings along the way?
