Q: Airport Express loss of connection to wifi
I have a Gen 2 Airport Express that, until this week, was always part of my local wi-fi (green status light, visible in Airport Utility, etc.). It is always plugged in to power about 40' from my Time Capsule. Now the only time it shows that configuration is when it is actually connected to my Time Capsule with an ethernet cable. As soon as I disconnect the ethernet cable the status light goes to flashing amber, and within a few seconds the warning triangle appears in the Airport Utility. I am told, of course, to be sure "...it is plugged in to a power outlet and still within range of my network." It is plugged in and just 3' from my Time Capsule. I have reset it numerous times, without success. My OS is El Capitan 10.11.6. Any thoughts?
