Ether is nearly an inert solvent, so doesn't reacts with the reagent at all.
On the other hand, water is comparatively more reactive (also has an incredibly high dielectric constant - 80) which is not favourable while preparing the reagent.

- It is prepared in ether medium because the reagent reacts with water. Slight traces of moisture will prevent the reaction.
