Try the basics first:

Change your router channel number. Most times this works & is all you have to do.


Disconnect & reconnect your modem. unplug it for about 10 seconds. Plug it back in. Do the same for Apple’s routers. Wait for everything to reboot.


System Preferences>Network

Click the Assist Me button.

In the next window that pops up, click the Diagnostic button & do the necessary.

If using Apple's Airport, please re-post over in one of the AirPort Forums.
