RAX200 with EX8000 extender configuration

What is the best practice to configure a RAX200 with an EX8000 extender? I keep having connectivity issues when moving between the zones (hand-over issues). Have to toggle WiFi off/on.

I’m interested in this topic as well as I’m considering an EX8000 for my RAX200.

try what I posted in your other post.

I've got an RAX200 and the EX8000 and they've been stable for me when I've been running them.

SmartConnect has been disabled all along..
 
The EX is assigned to 5G-1.
 
What modem are you using? 
Arris SB8200
 
What firmware is on the RAX?
V1.0.2.88
 
Firmware on the EX? 
V1.0.1.206
 
I noticed this post... not very promising..
