Running 2 routers on a network leads to all kinds of issues. its called a double nat and could be the root cause of your issues.

The 2 easiest fixes are to either place the Sagemcom in passthrough/modem only mode or to leave it running routing and to place the Netgear router in AP (access point) mode. That leaves only 1 router doing all the router and hdcp configuration.

Re: EX6120 can connect only one device per band
What router are you connecting back to? This is key because the performance of extender is all based of the router being used.
Firmware on the extender?
Do you have it setup in AP mode or wireless extender mode?

The extender connected to a router netgear AC1200 which is fi,st connected to a modem/router Sagemcom FAST4350 is an ADSL/VDSL. The extender is setup in wireless extender mode. Does that help? Thanks for your help, would really like to connect more than one connection.
