EE Wifi 7 Pro pairing issues with Broadband Router Pro 7

I have recently changed over from BT to EE but still on the same Gigabit service.  I was using my own Netgear Nighthawk Rax 200 Router which did a sterling job of up to 250mbps Wi-fi in my 3rd floor back office but thought I'd give the Wi-fi 7 Pro a go instead.  At first I got it synched with the router in the same room before moving it to the second 2nd floor and it worked perfectly - achieving up to 500+mbps wi-fi in the same 3rd floor back office but I noticed a couple of days ago that the light on the extender changed from a solid aqua to a flashing orange and the connection to it was lost.  I have since tried pairing it again and resetting both devices and whilst it connects first time and a solid aqua again, but once I move it to the 2nd floor again all I get is a flashing orange light.  Any ideas?

The WPS is absolutely useless. Worst WPS I have ever encountered. Luckily I have an extremely long Ethernet cable (metres long), so I just reel it out to the extender in another room. Pairs in about 5 seconds. Remove the Ethernet cable and it stays solid aqua. So just a minor annoyance for me. For others it could be a nightmare. 
The WPS didn’t even work with my mini TV box upstairs. I had to type in the WiFi password on the remote.
