Q: Apple TV4 Not Staying Connected to Internet After Sleep
Say I'm watching something at night and it's time to go to bed. I'll put Apple Tv to sleep then go to bed.
Next day when I turn Apple TV back on, nothing will load and I have to restart my network.
I have Xfinity wifi in house and I use an Airport Express downstairs for my Apple TV which is connected to the Airport via ethernet cable.
What I have to do EVERY DAY is disconnect/reconnect power to my Airport and then my Apple TV will be online again. None of my other devices using the network are experiencing any problems with the network.
What can I do to keep my connection in place and not have to constantly restart my network?
TIA
Apple TV, iOS 9.3.4

Well I feel embarrassed. The ethernet wire was plugged in after all. I thought I forgot to plug it back in but I guess not.
So I removed it and it did solve the problem.
I looked into the Airport Utilities and I was under the impression that my Express was a relay for my existing wifi, but it was not. It is simply connected to the network and therefore able to be used via Airplay to my stereo. I was considering using the Express as a guest wifi in the house, and set it up as it's own network, but was not sure how to set that up.
