AEX losing connection with AXBS and AU

Question

I see this problem a lot in the forums, and I know how to temporarily fix it, but surely I don't have to keep doing it this way.
I have a AXBS G, and an AEX. The AXBS creates the network for the house and the AEX supplies a feed to the ATV and stereo. About once or twice a week the ATV loses the network. Airport will not show the AEX even after repeated rescans. I can physically move the AEX to the computer room and reset it, but a few days later it loses it again and I have to do it all over again. It's a pain in the tuckush and I can't keep re-doing this.
When it does work it has full signal strength and never did this that I know of before I added the ATV. Just FYI.
Does anyone know why it does it and how to make it stop.

I know how to reset the AEX since I have done 4 or 5 times now. I just don't want to have to keep doing it.

Will come on and you can go to one page then it goes right back to "local access only" mode.
Unluckily sounds like interference or dirty power causing these problems, dirty power solved by Tripp-Lite Surge Protectors.
Interference like these:
From ScottMac:
Have you notice the occurrances in the context of other events in your home, possibly outside your home, and (really happens) something in a neighbor's house?
A neighbor with a new kilowatt linear for his Ham or CB radio?
Maybe a blinky streetlight?
Any electrically-operated workout gear in your home (or neighbor's)?
Aquariums?
Heating Pads?
Light Dimmers?
Touch-control lamps?
Dusk/Dawn sensors on the porch?
Any new CFL bulbs (OK to be green, as long as you don't watch TV or listen to AM radio ... j/k ...)
From SomeJoe7777:
* Power line interference, such as:
* Fluorescent light ballasts
* High-intensity gas discharge lights like mercury vapor
* Grounding problems, such as improper ground at the NID, the pedestal, etc.
* Electrical system grounding problems, such as improper ground on the RG's outlet, the breaker panel, etc.
* HAM radio broadcasts in the HF band
* AM radio transmissions, such as a nearby radio station
Try to isolate any potential source of these problems and see if you can find one that eliminates the interference.
