Extender Sleeps

I have an EX2700, and I just setup a smart lightbulb to connect to it. The problem is, the bulb doesn't keep an active connection to the extender, and the extender goes to sleep. The green connected light changes to orange showing nothing connected. Once this happens, the bulb can no longer be connected to. If I connect to the extender with another device, I can then connect to the bulb too.

 

Is there a way to turn off this "sleep" mode on the extender, and stay in active mode with the bulb?

    I can't believe someone else hasn't had this issue, with all the smart devices out there today. There has to be some way to keep the extender connected to the smart lightbulbs.

     

    Help....
