airport extreme internet connection

[Goofy Yno]

my airport extreme connection to internet keeps failing. It is occurring about every 3-4 days, where I get amber light. By unplugging it resets again. Is there something I can do, or do I need to by a new system. It is about 2 years old.
thanks

Are you sure it's the router? Have you tested by using a direct connection with a computer to your ISP or with a different router to see if it's them?

Otherwise, your router may be ready to give up the ghost. I have the same router and have been using it for 4 years and it's been awesome.

yea, it works directly. I guess the question then is to stay with the apple extreme or go elsewhere.

Update the firmware and restore to stock configuration before giving up on it.

More information is needed, What errors is it giving you?
How old is your modem? I had an old modem and got alot of connecting errors then we got a newer modem.

I apologize ahead of time for being a little noobish. I have not gotten any error messages, I have just not been able to connect to the internet. when I go to the airport it is not green. by unplugging it, waiting a minute or so then reconnecting, it works.
is there somewhere I should look to help diagnose the issue?
