Power went out, now my Express can't find the internet connection.
The power went out and and now my airport express's signal won't show a connection to the internet. When I plug the ethernet directly to my laptop, it works fine. Only when I try and connect my modem to the airport do I have issues. I suspect from my browsing that there may be an issue with the IP? But I really have no idea how to address that. I have very little technical knowledge with computers in general so any suggestions would be appreciated.
I did try unplugging the modem and the airport, then connecting the ethernet to the airport then turning on the modem followed by the airport. A few times. This didn't seem to help.
