ax8 range extender

Ok those of you in the Netgear community who have been having issues with the ax8 range extender losing connection.. I figured it out...you have to to reduce the speed to 1200mbps or 2400mbps on both 5ghz bands and your wifi 6 devices will stay connected.. now for the ac devices..I'm not for sure..I'll test those this weekend and update you all...I also changed my 5ghz band 2 to channel 161
