AC2200 nighthawk extender.
Ac2200 is setup if power is disconnected will I have to go back to setup and find and install the extender again, asking in case I want to move extender .

its actually done by the router. The extender has to use the same channel the router is on so changing the wireless channel, changes which one the extender uses.
What extender is it? AC2200 is a speed.
What firmware is on it?
Waht router is it connecting to?

auto connect back to the router or the devices to the extender?
Reason I ask that is if you move it somewhere where the service is sketchy, something is blocking wifi (think things in walls like hvac), or its just out of range, then it won't/can't connect.

which firmware is better and is there installation steps now that I cannot access via phone

the .206 has been more reliable from what I've seen on the forums.
The support site has the manual that goes over the install process.

I have loaded the 206 and still cannot get the app on my android to work , looks like I'm going to have to stick with windows 10 to access.
