AirPort Extreme giving a "Wrong Password"

Question

AirPort Extreme giving a "Wrong Password"

I have 1 main router (AirPort Express) that provides a network of 4 (AirPort Extreme)

routers ,and the same password is set on all Wi-Fi routers.When someone disconnect from the Wi-Fi and try to connect again gives him a 'wrong password' alert and don't allow him to connect again.However when i restart the router that i'm connected to - Voilà it connects successfully .Please guys give advice how to deal with the problem because i am persuaded to do it constantly. Thanks ! 🙂

I found that disabling IPv6 sharing fixed this problem for me, at least for the past 24 hours. This problem has been a daily issue for the past few months. Everytime someone walked away from an Airport Express and got near my main Extreme, they would be disconnected and unable to reconnect.

I would suggest that instead of the Express providing dynamic addresses by DHCP would be to either have the Express provide DHCP reserved addresses or create static IP addresses for the Extreme base stations.

Are all of the AirPort Extreme routers connected back to the Express by Ethernet or by wireless connections? Are all of these base stations assigned a static local IP address or as DHCP clients to receive this address dynamically from the Express?

The Express router Wi-Fi network is turn of and set to give DHCP addresses to Extreme routers. All the AirPort Extreme routers is connect back to Express by Ethernet and static IP. 🙂
