After working fine for two years, my Airport Extreme (802.11n Fast Ethernet) has decided that it no longer wants to work. What its doing is that it's only allowing devices to connect to the internet for 0-5 minutes after restarting the Extreme. After that, the devices are still connected to the network, able to connect to each other and the light on the airport is still green so its recognizing the internet connection.

The setup is about as simple as it gets. The Airport is connected directly to my modem and has two wired computer and two wireless computers connected to it.

I know its not a ISP problem because if I plug a computer directly into the modem, it works fine. I have also replaced the Airport with a old wired d-link router and that worked fine as well. So I'm thinking that it may be a problem with the NAT in the Airport.

I've done a hard reset on the airport but no luck. What other steps could I try to fix this?
