Jun 26, 2015 6:28 AM in response to cjfernerby cjferner,When this happened I was running Snow Leopard on my Mac. In addition to my wifi going out, I was unable to load Safari. Chrome worked fine. I assumed my AE and Safari problems were because I was so far behind on OS updates, maybe they just weren't supported any longer, or something like that. So, yesterday, I updated to Yosemite. Safari is working again, but still no AE wifi.

Jun 26, 2015 3:53 PM in response to cjfernerby Tesserax,When I open the AE on the Mac it says something about a self assigned ip address.
That would typically indicate that the AirPort Express was not able to establish proper communications with the Internet modem or gateway that it is connected to.
Usually, to resolve this, you would first power-down all of your networking hardware. Then power-up the modem; wait about 10-15 minutes to allow it to properly initialize. Then power-up (plug-in) the Express and allow it to initialize as well. If this doesn't solve the problem then the next course of action would be to perform a "factory default" reset on the Express, and then, repeat the power-down/power-up sequence again.
