Q: Why does my air port drops off line, I have to reset it every time by unplugging it for 25 seconds or so and then plugging the power back in then it gets connected back online,

Hey roderickfromgilbert,

I understand that you are having an issue with your home Wi-Fi from your AirPort base station. If you are continuing to experience this issue even after a power cycle, you may want to reset your AirPort. There are three types of reset, which are explained in depth in the following article:

Depending on the situation, you will need to choose one of the following reset types:

 

• Soft reset: Resets the device password and disables security for five minutes so that you can join the network to make changes.
• Hard reset: Resets the base station back to an unconfigured state, but retains the last saved configuration and any profiles so you can restore your base station from previous settings.
• Factory default reset: The same as a hard reset but also removes any saved configurations or profiles.

You may also want to use a tool on your computer called Wireless Diagnostics to help you determine the root cause of the issue you are seeing:
