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!

    What Firmware version is currently loaded?
    What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

     

    Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?

    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?
