You're facing a connection challenge between your R8000 and EX8000 in extender mode. The 2.4GHz works, but the 5GHz link from router to extender isn't establishing. Range isn't the problem, and you've already reset both devices and tried another extender. Since you're comfortable with advanced settings, consider checking the router's 5GHz configuration—ensure it's enabled and properly configured. Also verify that the EX8000 is set to use the correct channel and that there are no interference issues. Avoid flashing third-party firmware unless necessary.
