Unable to connect to Airport Extreme on a daily basis without reseting the router

I have an Airport Extreme Router connected directly to my cable modem. My Airport Utilities are current and router is set to 7.5.2 firmware (latest). I have nine devices set to connect via wireless and three that are connected via cable. I am not using the 5ghz as there are some older devices that will not connect. On a daily basis all of the wireless systems will not connect. I get a password incorrect on low signal error. I have reset the password from over eight characters to eight to see if that was the issue. No dice. I have to manually unplug the router and the wait for it to reset then all the devices will connect. The three devices I have connected directly do not have this issue.
I have deleted the network configurations from the devices and tried to reconnect but I get the same error, password incorrect or signal not found even when it shows that I have five green bars. I have the router set to assign DHCP and changed the lease to 60 days. Since the router does not have UPnP, I have a few ports open to allow my XBox and PS3 clear connection. I have also reset the whole router and started it from scratch. Rebuilding the network with a different name, password and such.
I have seen on the board that others are having issues with this. Aside from disconnecting the power from the router I have not found a solution. This issue started a month or so ago. Does anyone have a solution? Is this a result of updating the firmware to 7.5.2 which came out in July? Or is there something that I am completely missing in troubleshooting?

The router has been working for a bout a year or more. Would it suddenly go snafu and need to be replaced? Seems to me it would be having the issue from the start.

Unable to connect to Airport Extreme since installing Mountain Lion

Unable to connect to Airport Extreme since installing Mountain Lion. If I go to Finder > Shared I can see it listed but then when I go to connect to it won't. I can see it in Airport Utility and connect to the internet but when I try and connect to the base station to use my hard drive / printer it won't connect?
Tech Support tried saying it could be the devices attached don't have an update for them yet but doesn't explain why I can't connect to the base station. In their defence I can see it in airport utility so the base station does work with the OS X
However I've just tried connecting by an ethernet cable and connects fine?

Ok .
Power down the base station (Mine is connected to a 4 way so i down powered base station, printer and hard drive) powered back up and now when I go to finder then look at the shared section I can view my files on the base station.
Hope this helps

MacBook Unibody (Early Jan 2010) Unable to Connect to Airport Extreme

The situation is that one MacBook purchased in Jan 2010 constantly unable to connect to the Airport Extreme.
The other MacBook could connect successfully without must fuss. Even the Win7 laptops also has no issue to be connected.
Do you think the MacBook has a connectivity issue?
Thanks in advance.

Unable to connect new airport extreme to iMAC or MacBook Pro

This must have been covered but I am unable to find a thread addressing my problem. I have just purchased a new Airport Extreme Base Station (AEBS). I updated all of my software and have tried to configure the AEBS for both my laptop and iMAC. I connect to the internet (IN) using a cable modem (Motorola SB 5101). Using the ethernet cable I can connect to the IN with both computers. I have configured the AEBS and the "light" comes up green.
Using the "diagnostics" program associated with Safari on my laptop (OS 10.5.6), all but the last 2 lights come up green. I do not know how to overcome this problem.
On the iMAC (OS 10.4.11) I get the message "Airport not configured". When I go to the Airport Utility App and scan, it tells me that a wireless device is not detected, even though the unit is adjacent to the computer. It does have an early wireless card (0x14E4,0x89) Firmware (Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0).
I hope there are better directions somewhere than what came with the unit.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Bob Timmons, thanks for the response... I will respond to your questions..
1) Yes, I can connect to the internet by attaching the single ethernet type cable from the modem to each computer in-turn.
2) Yes, when I connect the ethernet cable from the modem to the airport base station, I get a green light. (circle icon)
3) I do not (as yet) have a spare ethernet cable to try the connection from the AEBS to either computer.
Making these connections work is a little like magic to me. I have an airport express at work that I successfully connected, but when it happened I was not sure what I did.
I get a little confused because there is the Airport programming software, the Diagnostics software that pops up from Safari, and Network software in Preferences. I am not sure which one is the main one to use.
In addition, I try to Connect, wirelessly in several places. Sometimes in an airport where an "automatic" IP address seems to be assigned and sometimes at work where we use static IP addresses.
I need a map...;o)

WPs Device Unable to Connect to AirPort Extreme

I am having issues connecting a webcam that has a WPS button to AirPort Extreme. Airport Extreme doesn't have a button to accept the connection and my AirPort Utility doesn't have an option to add a new client to my wireless network. Any suggestions?WPS

Configure the printer through the wireless setup utility... I did it with HP by joining the HP setup network.. and then going to safari, bookmarks, show all bookmarks, click bonjour, then join your wireless network from there. Uninstall any software previously installed....

Can't connect wirelessly to our WRT54GX4 after a time without rebooting the router

Hi, We have 2 of these routers and can't connect wirelessly to them after a period of time (unknown length at this point) until we reboot the routers. We have some printers cabled to one and a PC to the other. Both loose their ability to allow wireless communications after a while. We reboot them and they work fine. Is it a setting that I can't fine?
Thanks
Mike

hi...first off, ensure that the routers have the latest firmware installed....then try changing the wireless settings on the router

How do I connect my Airport Extreme to an AT

How do I connect my Airport Extreme to an AT&T U-verse Modem/Router?

Connect an Ethernet cable between the U-verse router's LAN port to the WAN (circle-of-dots) port on the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS). Since you will have two routers in series, you will want to reconfigure the AEBS as a bridge. (ref: AirPort Utility > Select the AEBS > Manual Setup > Internet > Internet Connection tab > Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode))

VoIP (Internet Ready) phone connected to Airport Extreme?

I have Airport Extreme (7.6.4) and have it hard connected to a Comcast router. Router is in the basement across the house and the Airport Extreme is in the first floor office. I want to connect a VoIP phone directly to the Airport Extreme instead of running another line from the router directly to the phone. Can this be done? Is there any connectivity issues with a VoIP phone directly into the Airport Extreme? Any tips or suggestions for, or against, this?
Many thanks!

Yes. Disable that. Using that may make you feel good but the MAC addresses are easily discovered and cloned. Instead use WPA with a non-dictionary password.

CF 6.1 - JRUN Closed Connection/Server errors occurring on a daily basis

We seem to be having issues with Jrun Closed Connection/Server errors occuring on a daily basis now. The server will stop responding to requests until the ColdFusion service is restarted.
We're using CF 6.1, the following error message is from the log files and seems to be Java/JVM related but I was hesitant to make any changes to the JVM parameters.
Any suggestions on how to resolve this daily issue of restarting CF service? Other than upgrading to more recent version of CF which we'll be doing later this year.
Thanks,
Dave

I guess Java non heap space Permanent Generation is full the next object trying to load into that space can’t fit, plus all the objects in there are referenced so no objects can be removed so free space can’t be made available. One would need to do some work with Java logging and know what JVM.CONFIG looks like to know if that guess is accurate.
You could try increase that parameter 10Mb or so and see what happens? In JVM.CONFIG, JVM args, -XX:MaxPermSize=NNm where NN = numbers.
Needless to say you are running a lot of end of life product and should plan to migrate to something more current.

I am unable to see my Airport Extreme/Express on my MacBook via Airport Utility

I have two issues:
1. I am unable to see my Airport Extreme and my Airport Express via my MacBook Air's Airport Utility when I scan for Base Stations. However, the computer is happily connected to the wireless network of my Extreme (the Express is used to extend range)
2. I am unable to see a HDD that is connected via USB cable to the Airport Extreme.
Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks

Further info:
Setup
MacBook Air running OS X 10.5.8
AirPort Extreme Base Station
AirPort Express used to extend range
AirPort Utility v5.5.3
The MacBook Air is actually connected to the wireless network provided by the two AirPorts!
Oddly, I see both AirPorts just fine when using my older PowerBook G4 with an older version of the AirPort Utility.
In addition, I cannot see the external HDD connected to the AirPort Extreme Base Station, and my wireless printer (HP D410a) suddenly stopped working via the MacBook Air. However, it works just fine from my iPhone, which is connected to the same AirPort Extreme/Express wireless network.
Recently, at the request of Sky Broadband, I switched to fixed IP addresses instead of DHCP, as I was having issues with the DHCP set-up.

Devices not connecting through Airport extreme wired connection

Hi
I just got an Airport extreme to use as an extention of my existing network, and to plug some devices in so that they can connect to the internet for updates (Sony Blu-ray player, dish network receiver, slingbox)...
my wireless is from a linksys/cisco wireless router (4-port) wrt310n, that is connected to my cable modem. The airport is set and has the green light showing. The blu-ray player and dishnetwork receiver are plugged into two of the ports. The blu-ray player says it can't connect to the internet. The dish network receiver says it is connected, giving ip address/submask, etc.
If I take my macbook pro and turn off wireless and plug into the airport it will not connect to the internet.
What have I not done to allow wired connection to the airport extreme to connect to the net?
thanks
David

Thanks for the clarification of your setup.
Unfortunately, the bottom line here is that this is not going to work.
The ethernet ports on the Extreme will only be active if you configure the AirPort Extreme to "extend a wireless network". But, it can only "extend" a wireless network from another Apple router. It's not compatible for this purpose with your Cisco router or any other manufacturer's router.
If you are unable to connect the AirPort Extreme to your router using an ethernet cable, you might want to take a look at a pair of ethernet powerline adapters to accomplish the same task by using the wiring in your home to transmit the ethernet signal.
I should clarify that if you connect the Cisco and AirPort Extreme using ethernet, you would not use the "extend" setting on the AirPort Extreme. This is only used if the device is connecting to another Apple router.

Iphone will not connect to airport extreme in N only mode?

My iphone was unable to see my airport extreme for local wi-fi. I chnahged my setting from "N compatible only" to "N with g,b compatible and it suddenly showed up. Is this a limitation of the iphone that it will not see 802.11N (only) routers? I could not find any documentation or internet tips on this topic. Thanks!

I have done that several times.
After entering the network ID, selecting WPA and password, the iPhone displays the msg: Unable to connect to network, but my network name (with the padlock) will show up in the list of available connections (after clicking "OK" on the dialog box) although my network is set to not broadcast.
FWIW: I can connect to other unprotected networks.

How do I connect my Airport Extreme to my modem (Cisco Model DPC3010)?

I am having trouble connecting my Airport Extreme Wireless Base Station to a Cisco Modem (Model DPC3010). I have used the Airport Extreme for years with other modems with no trouble. Alas, this time around I can't get it to work. I think I might not have the cable connected correctly. Help, please. Thanks

If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
     Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Select ReinstallLion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from
     the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
     Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is
                three times faster than wireless.

How do I connect my airport extreme to windows 8.1

how do I connect my airport extreme to windows 8.1

Connect an Ethernet cable between the U-verse router's LAN port to the WAN (circle-of-dots) port on the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS). Since you will have two routers in series, you will want to reconfigure the AEBS as a bridge. (ref: AirPort Utility > Select the AEBS > Manual Setup > Internet > Internet Connection tab > Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode))

Unable to connect to Airport Extreme on a daily basis without reseting the router
