Airport Extreme / Apple TV Connectivity issue -HELP!!

I am able to enter my WEP password on the Apple TV, and it connects to my wireless network. But, the next day, it doesn't show up in my list of devices on iTunes. I look at the setings on the apple TV, and it says I am not connected to network, and I have to enter password again. What setting do I need to adjust on the Airport Extreme or the Apple TV?

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.5.1)

I have the same issue. Wish I could help.... It is ridiculously annoying to have to put in the password every day, yet it is all I can do!

I dont understand... even if it drops the connection to the TC, why cant it reconnect on its own like computers do?

I finally figured out the problem. You have to go to manual setup, and make sure that you do not have any timed access settings enabled. Once I set that properly, the apple TV stays connected.

Interesting, because Timed Access is not on by default. Glad it worked for you, but I never had it turned on.
