Hello ixncxlxkxxth - Have you tried connecting another device wired into the extender to see if the behavior is the same?

ixncxlxkxxth  - When you connect the laptop directly to the router, does the same issue occur?

the laptop doesn't drop connection its my pc that is custom built into my desk is and my router is in another room. Sometimes with the xbox when it is on ethernet it drops connection to the ex6200v2.Ive used the ethernet port on the mobo and i got a pice network card and it still drops s oi dont believe its hardware based

Hi ixncxlxkxxth, 

 

A couple things: 

 

1. You could try reserving the IP address of your pc on the router so it does not try to assign it a new one every time it is turned on

2. What is the status of the router link LED when it drops?

3. Have you tried switching out the cable that is connected to the extender and pc?

ixncxlxkxxth, 

 

You will need to log into your Arris router to do so. Please contact Arris Support for further assistance.

 

Furthermore, please contact our Technical Support Team for further investigation : https://www.netgear.com/support/default.aspx
