    Try resetting your modem. Power it down. Wait a moment, then power it up again. While it resets, do not change what is connected to it.

     

    In another, though unrelated article, Apple recommends the following:

     

    If you have configured your Wi-Fi base stations in the past, it may be helpful to do a factory default reset of each Wi-Fi base station that will be part of the wireless extended network before you begin.

    This step really ought not be considered optional for the configuration you propose. If the problem persists after resetting your modem, reset everything else too.
