Airport Express Loses Connection Over Period of Time

Hello,

I recently purchased an AirPort Express about a couple months ago so that I could extend my Wifi from my Airport Extreme through an ethernet. After setting it up, the AirPort Express would work perfectly and Express the same Wifi name as the Airport Express, however, after time (about a couple weeks), the Wifi from the Express would eventually stop working. The last time this occurred, I would constantly reset the router and waited for it to work with the wireless again, but now I just want a permanant solution.

As of now, there is a green dot showing on the Airport Extreme, AirPort Express, and through AirPort Utitility, but no internet from the AirPort Express. Can someone help?

What extreme do you have? Model and firmware??

If the two are connected by ethernet then the Express should be in bridge mode and create a wireless network.

If you have that setup correctly.. then please give me some screenshots from the airport utility. I want to see the Internet, wireless and Network tabs of both express and extreme.

Express:

The picture with the ovewview of the Airport Utility interchanges with where I am in the house. So, if I'm closer to the Airport Express, I would have a green dot there, compared to the Extreme. I'm curious on why it works for a short period and stops all of a sudden such as now.
