Hello,
I have this really annoying and now recurring issue with my AEBS that I am using with Comcast. For some reason if I have a device that is not being actively used after a few days, I get DNS errors on it when I try to connect after being out of town. On my Win 7 work laptop, I also get an error that says the IP address is being used by another device and then the WiFi symbol says "limited access."
To remedy this the first time, I reset the AEBS and the modem, and set up the network as new all over again. Here I am 4 weeks later with the same issue. One of the other things I've noticed is that when I pull up Airport Utility, the only devices that can connect are the ones where the wireless clients names actually show up. Example "John's MacBook," connects to the internet fine, but "169.254.XXX.XXX" will not and I get that DNS error.
I am going to reset everything again so I can connect more than one device, but this is driving me crazy.
