Given it is the same time each day, I am guessing "feature" rather than bug.
It may also be that the power plug resets/reboots itself once a day and that the reboot does a quick power blip that is quick enough to not matter for non-computer devices.
Device makers love to find and implement half-assed "solutions" to problems. I would guess they had some sort of memory leak (most software does) and will stop working after a week or 2, and instead of finding and fixing the leak chose to reboot it daily so that the leak is not an issue. And on a reboot they don't have a way to maintain power during the reboot and decide a quick blip is ok.
I've emailed the manufacturer (TP-Link), though without much expectation of a reply.
If it is as you say, it's a design fault. The power cycle is a definite Off, wait a second or so, then On.
