wa850re loses connection to router after a period of time
Model :
Hardware Version :
Firmware Version :
ISP :
My extender (model: wa850re) loses connection with the main router (model: Zyxel SBG3300-N) after a period of time ranging from as little as 15 minutes up to about 2 hours.
Rebooting the extender 'fixes' the problem for another period of time.
When the extender loses connection, the RE light remains lit, and the signal display remains lit. The extender does not display any error condition and continues to broadcast a network claiming to be my home network (ie, you can connect to it using my home network's credentials) but that network does not 'break out' to the Internet.
The wifi network being broadcast by the router itself is fine and has a connection to the Internet.
I have performed a factory reset on the extender twice. The first time I reconnected it to the home network using WPS. The second time I reconnected it 'manually' using a web browser. Neither made any difference.
What am I supposed to do to fix this problem? How do I even begin diagnosing the root cause of this problem?

I was using Chrome (from a Linux laptop and also from my Android phone). However, I have now tried it on a Windows PC using Microsoft Edge. Same result. See the below screenshots, which show:
1. Selecting the file in the firmware upgrade interface.
2. The checksum error.
I'm about ready to abandon this whole thing and find a different solution for WiFi in my house.
