I really don´t understand what´s going on here.
Every evening (almost) I loose my internet connection. Thought it was my provider, but hooked up with a cable and the connection is fine.

I do have a WD 1T USB drive attached for TM backups of my wifes MB, so I´m thinking it has to have something to do with this set up.
(I had this set up for a long time, but just recently started to drop my connection)

What happens is my MBP finds my network, then ask for the password, then tells me it´s the wrong password.
When everything is fine, I obviously don´t have to write the password as it´s stored in my "Keychain"

Any ideas of what might be going on?
 
Try disconnecting the drive for a while and see if the problem persists. Also, do you have MAC filtering enabled? If so, do you have time restrictions set?
 
I tried unplugging the hard disk, no luck. I don't know enough about MAC filtering to know if I have it enabled. Where can I find out?
EDIT: As predicted, I was back online around 11, anyone got a clue?

Click to expand...

try to log into it using Airport Utility..... and you will see.

Did you buy it 2nd hand ( the AEBS ) ?
 
No. I bought it brand new from an Apple reseller.
I'm trying to log in, but it won't let me. The green light is on the AEBS. I do have an Internet connection if I use cable.
My 2 networks show up, but I'm asked for a password and I'm just told unable to join network. It drives me insane
 
If you are having issues opening the AirPort Utility, then I would suggest connecting via Ethernet and opening AirPort Utility that way. If that still doesn't work, I'd suggest resetting your AirPort Extreme by depressing the reset button for about a minute. But if you manage to get into the settings, in the Access tab of the AirPort section, you'll see MAC Address Access Control.
 
Hi thanks
I did a firmware upgrade and it almost solved my issues. Now my MacBooks are ok, but our iPhones can't connect to the network at all.
