Airport becomes unavailable after a few hours of use...
I know that there is already a topic about this, but after reading it, I decided I would repost it as the other thread is already off-topic.
I own a new Airport Extreme Base Station. (Just set up yesterday, in fact!) Every few hours (I think it's 4), my internet connection doesn't work! Updating the Base Station under Airport Admin Utility makes it work again. I have the feeling that this problem has something to do with the DHCP lease under Airport Admin Utility/Show all Settings/Network. Will changing to a non-default amount of time (say, 60 days) be a bad thing for the Station? Thank you for your time.

Change it to whatever you want ... I set mine to 24 hours, but I unplugg my base station at night (we have flaky power here on-island).
There is no reason that setting it to 60 days would harm anything.
