EX7500 2.4GHz and 5GHz band LED lights consistently blink causing intermittent wifi connection

I have a brand new EX7500.  I'm 40 feet from wifi router with only one wall inbetween.

The left signal light is always solid blue.

The 2.4GHz light and the 5GHz light are either solid blue, amber or off completely.

Netgear support isn't being very helpful.

 

Any ideas?

 

I have band steering turned on my Linksys EA8300 router to enable mesh.  I cannot change channels.

have you tried to re position the unit at all to try and get a better signal?

I thought I was clear.

 

I have no problem getting the signal to the extender, as the left signal light is always solid blue.

 

My problem is, even though the extender is getting the best signal from my wifi router, it isn't able to output a solid or consistent signal on either 2.4GHz or 5GHz.  Sometimes it outputs zero signal even though the signal it is receiving is the best possible, solid blue light.
