Wireless repeaters can be odd devices especially as they are also
working as network bridges.

What I'd guess is going on, though not sure how it might get there, is
that at some point the SB3 attempts to associated with your main AP.
The bridge sees that it is now on it's host side and stops
communicating with it so as not to create network problems. The power
cycle starts it reassociating with the repeater.

I'm wondering if for some reason the SB is loosing contact with the
repeater, initiating a broadcast for the SSID and getting first
response from the AP. Perhaps the server logs may tell you if the SB3
is going missing.

Does the repeater have a management interface that you can look at to
see what it thinks is where or any logs it might keep?

If you are unable to resolve the problem then I'd suggest turning it
into a straight AP and link it back into the network with a Homeplug
type device (assuming you are repeating because you can't get a cat5 to
it's position).
