Hi,

Thank you for your reply. Yes, I have a router from my Internet provider and 3 Mac Airports, my house is quite large.

I went to Networks and ticked : Ask to join other networks OFF and went to Advanced to Wifi and clicked on my Wi-fi Network ON and not the one from my provider. It all works fine now, I am 65 years old and quite proud of this!!


Best regards,

BTMonique

Sorry, not sure what you are saying here.


Are you saying that you have a router from your Internet provider and an AirPort Express and both of them are providing a WiFi network?


On what device does the WiFi keep "switching"? A Mac? A PC? An iPhone / iPad?


Have you considered simply turning off the WiFi on the AirPort Express if you don't need to use the WiFi signal from the Express? That would be by far the simplest way to solve your issue as we understand it to be.


Another option.......if you don't need the AirPort Express at all......you could simply power it off.
