Thanks jvasanth1984
Good point!
Previously I've been using automatic channel selection on the router side but it caused problems as repeater didn't catch up if router decided to swap the channel.
So I've hardcoded it to 36. I've changed it to 52. Unfortunatelly I can't change the channel on the extender (I don't really understand why this options is not available).
I'll post an update after I finish my experiments (a couple of days to ensure that the "fix" is stable).

Hi dmilinevskyi,
Extender will not have its individual channel since it is extending router's signal because of which you'll not have an option on extender to modify wireless channel on extender.
