It might not be the extender itself. The extender is a single band 2.4ghz extender. 2.4ghz is more senstive to interference than what 5ghz because it broadcasts further, through more materials, and has less available channels. when you get a power outage, I assume you weren't the only one. It means that suddenly your whole area had their routers rebooting. maybe their routers didn't setup on the same wifi channel as they were.
So try changing wifi channels on your router. the extender should use the same channel the router is using.
What router are you on?
What speeds do you get from the router over the 2.4ghz connection?
