Sep 15, 2016 7:55 PM in response to Loner Tby mduff1019,Thanks for your help with this. I am grateful. it is the newer vertical AE.
More background: Internet service is lost, the light stays green, end devises show strong wifi signal, but no internet service is present. I do a hard reboot, (unplug it for 60 seconds) and it restarts with full service. That condition lasts for a while, about 24 hours, maybe less. Then it drops again with same conditions.

Sep 15, 2016 8:07 PM in response to mduff1019by Loner T,Next time this happens, before you hard boot the AE, does your modem have more than one ethernet port or a management UI?
You can either connect an ethernet cable to the Cable Modem (if it has multiple ethernet ports and is a router/gateway) or log-in to the UI of the modem, and check the status of the Internet connection.
Does the AE get a public IP? Does it have both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses? There is also a DHCP aspect to a CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) connected behind the modem.
