My EX7000 connections "go bad" after a while
Hi, I have an EX7000 connected to my R7000 in extender mode. However, after a day or so the devices connected to the EX7000 start having connection problems and when I try to disconnect and connect again it's not possible until I reboot the EX7000 and sometimes I have to reboot the R7000 as well before the EX7000 to get back in business. This is really annoying. I have not had problems like this with the R7000 which is rock solid. I have the latest firmware on the EX7000 and I have the connection to the R7000 on a fixed IP, 10.0.0.2. The R7000 has 10.0.0.1. The DHCP range is 100-200 so there's nothing else wanting extender address. Is this buggy firmware (I have had that kind of problem with Netgear in the past), or is it something I can do so my network stays up and running for more than 24 hours?
