EX7000 wifi extender - I need to keep rebooting device.

I need to keep rebooting my device to make it work.  All devices lose connection as device does not recognize password.  After reboot the device will work for about a day then devices lose connection again.  When devices lose connection I cannot reconnect to routed - error message says incorrect password.  After reboot everything works fine for about a day

    Did you set it up using the push button WPS option? 

    If so, factory reset the extender and set it up using the installation assistant.

    To factory reset, push and hold the reset button for 7-15 seconds while powered on. 

    Here's a video of how to use the assistant.
