[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1824080, member: 234411"] Hello - [B]Nick[/B] has already given you excellent advice - if I'm having a connection problem, I first power recycle all of my devices (i.e. modem, router, computer) which often solves the issue. As you likely know, Apple has discontinued making their router products, BUT today I received a notification to update the firmware of my old 2012 Extreme 802.11n router to v. 7.8.1 (info [URL="https://support.apple.com/kb/DL2008?locale=en_US"]HERE[/URL]); if you have their newer 802.11ac router the update is 7.9.1 ([URL="https://www.macrumors.com/2019/05/30/airport-base-station-firmware-7-9-1/"]HERE[/URL]) - not sure this will help your situation but the updates address security issues, so check your firmware version w/ the Airport Utility.
