EX6100 extender stops broadcasting when inactive

After a period of inactivity (overnight) the extender stops broadcasting; the Client Link LED turns off and the extender's signal disappears.  It requires a re-boot to start up again.  Why does it stop broadcasting?

      Extender is not visible to other devices either.  It's like it has a powersave feature in it.

      The extender is not detectable to other client devices either.  It's like the extender has a powersave feature but I can't find anything on it.

        What firmware version is the extender running and have you recently updated it? Have you tried factory resetting the extender?
