My Airport Extreme looses the wifi connection from the SP modem about once a day. if i reboot it, then the wifi network is reestablished but in about 24 hours is drops again until i repeat the procedure. Any suggestions?
Does it happen at specific times of day?
No. different time for every event.
Is this the newer vertical Airport Extreme, or the older flat one?
Thanks for your help with this. I am grateful. it is the newer vertical AE.
More background: Internet service is lost, the light stays green, end devises show strong wifi signal, but no internet service is present. I do a hard reboot, (unplug it for 60 seconds) and it restarts with full service. That condition lasts for a while, about 24 hours, maybe less. Then it drops again with same conditions.
Next time this happens, before you hard boot the AE, does your modem have more than one ethernet port or a management UI?
You can either connect an ethernet cable to the Cable Modem (if it has multiple ethernet ports and is a router/gateway) or log-in to the UI of the modem, and check the status of the Internet connection.
Does the AE get a public IP? Does it have both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses? There is also a DHCP aspect to a CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) connected behind the modem.
