I don't have the R9000 myself for testing, but I know that it's port 1 and 2 are to be used for bonding etc,
so I advice you to test and not use port 1 and 2 in the R9000 for connecting R7800.
And as in many post - don't use the WAN-port in the R7800 when used as AP.

After next to no wireless drops I added Kamoj menu to the three devices last night; the r9000 rebooted and maintained flawlessly; the r7800's was a different story.
Because my setup is port 2 -> r7800 wan, Port 1 to -> r7800(2) wan port... They were messed up. I am using DHCP on both access points, perhaps this is an issue.
One thing I have now nearly isolated is that when the ONLY way to bring back the r7800's is to shut off both. Disconnect the cables, reboot after 2 minutes reconnect r7800 #1, wait, (then cable connect) now, boot r7800 #2, wait (then cable connect)... If I try anything else it simply messes up the entire network. So even with proper configuration (ie not implementing implied corrupt restore setting from backup.) r9000 has the issue (A) during power outage not during software reboot. The r7800's have issues unless cables are disconnected and reconnected (IN ORDER, ie r7800 (#1) -> fully finished r7800 (#2)): It still seems better suited to never use the WAN ports as well. Although this still doesnt fix the issue. Perhaps if everything works after a few days granted no power outage I will switch to static IP assignment instead of DHCP..
