I keep getting disconnected from my extender.

Hello everyone!
I'm having an issue that is driving me a bit crazy. So, I have a WIFI Extender that extends the WIFI from my router.
There's one problem, I keep getting disconnected very often.
I've tried a lot of things to troubleshoot this problem. I'm getting a lot of event warnings on Windows about my DNS and DHCP-client.
The problem isn't my computer. My WIFI-extender's SSID is different from my router and I use 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz.
Everytime my internet disconnects, I check ipconfig to see if something changed.
Whenever it disconnects, I see that my Ipv6 is gone and only a local Ipv6 is assigned.
I also get a Tcpip error saying the network address is: 00-00-00-00-00-00 (Error ID: 4199)
When I fully reboot my WIFI-extender, it gives back an Ipv6 but then when I reconnect to when the IP is getting leased, it's gone again...
Any idea's?
And yes, the range between the router and the extender is fine and the LED's are normal.

Home router fully uses IPv6 & IPv4. I only use wireless, no Ethernet is used.
Just found something useful:
When the disconnect occours, the IPv6 is gone in my ipconfig. Only a linked-local IPv6 remains. When this happens, my computer keeps disconnecting trying to get an IPv6. This is very annoying. It seems to be an issue on both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz. Maybe it's a driver issue? I tried reinstalling windows completely and this didn't work. Updating the drivers also didn't resolve the issue.

Excuse me for the late response.
