EX6120 - no network connection on 5GHz
Installed and configured my.EX6120-100NAS. During config phase all was good - picked up both 5GHz and 2.4GHZ networks. But when it restarts it will only provide a network connection on the 2.4 network. If I connect to the 5G network I get no DHCP address. I have verified that it's not my main router - if I connect directly to the 5G network, everything is fine.

EX7300 randomly drops connection
I have a netgear WNDR4500v3 that works great. I've had it now for a year and I'm very happy. I had an old extender 2.4Ghz only for a while and it worked ok, but was a little slow and when a number of devices connected it started having issues, so I upgraded to an EX7300 recently. I installed it recently and configured it to use 5G-only with the router and 2.4G only with client devices. The setup went smoothly, all my devices connected fine and it seemed to work fine for a week or so. A couple of days ago it looked like I lost internet connection, but instead it was the extender not working. I didn't have time to check right away, but a couple of hours later all was working again so I didn't bother. It happened again today, I logged into the router and the extender was not listed among the "attached devices". I power cycled and now everything seems to be working OK. I don't see anything strange in the logs of the router and I can't find the logs in the extender. I saw another post about changing channels, but since I'm using two separate bands I assume that's not my issue. Any ideas?

EX6200 Range Extender (losing connections, how to configure from web browser)
I have the EX6200 and am happy with the performance but from time to time it loses it's connection to my router. When this happens I power cycle the EX6200, it reconnects, and I am back up and running for 1-2 weeks, then I lose it again. Curious if there are settings I can adjust to fix this. Also, I am a primarily Linux household, so I am curious if there is a web interface for configuration.
