R8000P - randomly losing configuration?
I sdfsdsddfsdfdfdfsdfasdfI have a R8000P WiFi Extender. I configured it a year ago, and it has worked great until I powered it down last night as I do every month. This morning it lost its configuration and would not connect to my Router! I had to reconfigure the range extender from scratch. Is this a known problem? I hope I don't have to do this again! Thakns!

The R8000P isn't a wifi extender.
Its a router.
What extender do you have?
What router do you have?
Are you setting it up using wps or using the installation assistant?
