Mar 2, 2016 9:52 AM in response to Amy Nicholsonby Tesserax,Although it is possible that you have a faulty AirPort base station, the other thing to ask is: Do you live in a location with a lot of other Wi-Fis operating? Like an apartment or condo complex ... or a student dorm perhaps? Spotty Wi-Fi connectivity is typically associated with some sort of Wi-Fi interference. Other Wi-Fis in the nearby vicinity would be a major culprit.

Mar 2, 2016 10:09 AM in response to Tesseraxby Amy Nicholson,Hi Tesserax - thank you for your response. Good idea, but no, we live in a small village (in Mexico). Our house is connected to other houses, one on each side, but by US apartment standards, its pretty spacious. Other than my Wifi signals, my computer sees only two others.

Mar 2, 2016 10:18 AM in response to Amy Nicholsonby Tesserax,★HelpfulThanks for the update. Unfortunately, since this is affecting all of your wireless devices, does tend to point to the base station itself. It sounds like you have already done most everything that can be tried ... so I won't waste your time having you repeat any of it.
If you have already ruled out any form of Wi-Fi interference, other than nearby Wi-Fis ... wireless telephones, microwave ovens, etc., there really isn't much more you can do ... other than replacing the AirPort.

Mar 2, 2016 9:15 PM in response to Amy Nicholsonby GABarber,IF you are connected to Cox Cable - turn off IPV6 on the Extreme! See my separate post on this.

Mar 2, 2016 9:50 PM in response to GABarberby Bob Timmons,Most users will have no idea how to do this, so you might want to include some instructions.
When you do, please remember that although you say to "Turn off IPv6", there is no setting to do this, so you might want to provide a few more details to help clarify things.
Thanks.

Mar 2, 2016 10:39 PM in response to Bob Timmonsby obiwon4luke,I Am using a base station extreme and cox high speed internet and noticed the past few days lots of Internet showing as not working on my iPhone. After restarting phone 6 s sometimes internet shows it's connected other times I restart base station and it works. Had this problem about a year ago and bought new modem and Genius Bar traded base station for another, it's quite frustrating.

Mar 3, 2016 11:56 AM in response to Amy Nicholsonby obiwon4luke,This happened similarly to me about 2 years ago and now it's been happening almost every day different times. Cox is useless and Genius Bar exchanges done base station extreme but is still happens.
very bad that Apple and Cox can't work together in this problem area.
LAst time I had tech support from Apple it messed up my HP wireless printer connection.
any ideas?
