I just got an EAX80 last week to extend my RAX80 router and have had nothing but issues as well. Any device connected to the EAX80 has constant latency/ping issues and connections temporarily stop functioning causing the device to not be able to load a web page or my video stream to constantly freeze.
My RAX80 router works perfectly fine and anything connected to it works, the EAX80 extender is the issue.
I have tried all the tricks in the book from manually updating the firmware, factory reset, setup as new, try multiple locations, try multiple different setups, fastlane/basic, one name, change channels, etc. and nothing fixed the problems. The EAX80 is completely unusable and it's latest firmware is already over 8 months old.
If I can't get a Netgear EAX80 to work properly with a Netgear RAX80, Netgear you have serious quality control issues. I have given up and am going to return this paper weight.
