Q: Unreliable wifi to iPhone and iPad
I have an Airport Express Time Capsule with two Airport Express Extenders and about once every 3 days I have to power cycle it to get my iPad and iPhone to be able to actually use the Wifi. The i-Devices connect and show that they have Wifi signal but they can not transmit data. The Airport App on the iPhone and iPad show the extenders but do not see the Time Capsule (which provides the route to the internet) when this symptom happens. I also have 2 MacBooks that use the Airport for Wifi and they do not seem to be affected. Once I power cycle the Time Capsule Wifi works again for up to 3 or so days and then I'm right back where I started.
I'm getting really frustrated with this, if anyone has any ideas what I can do to fix this I would love to hear them. Looking to me like I may need to consider either a new Airport or an alternative companies Wifi router to get the reliability I need.
Time Capsule is running firmware 7.7.7
Express Extenders are 7.6.7
Both iPhones are version 6S on iOS 10
iPad Pro is iOS 10
Both MacBooks on OS X 10.11.6
iPhone 6s, iOS 10
