Very vague posting. 

A random email but you dn't include a screen snip. About potentially the firmware having issues. 

I'd start by checking what firmware you're on and comparing it to the offical firmware version. it can be found here

This is what the recent Netgear vulnerability information mass ailing was about:

Your EX3700 is affected - however, like all extenders it does not have a Remote Access feature exposing it to the wild Internet.

There is a nice featured post here in the top of the comunity, too.
