Hi ixncxlxkxxth,
A couple things:
1. You could try reserving the IP address of your pc on the router so it does not try to assign it a new one every time it is turned on
2. What is the status of the router link LED when it drops?
3. Have you tried switching out the cable that is connected to the extender and pc?
