Monitoring tools available to me include Airport Utility (latest version appropriate for each Apple Router), iNet Network Scanner from, iStumbler, and of course the core tools provided by macOS. Some 10-day periods are disconnect-free sometimes they will occur a few days in succession. The disconnects (sometimes described as “Nest Guard offline,” sometimes as “Nest Guard-no WiFi connection”) heal themselves, and the only reason I know they’ve happened is because a log of events on my local security network is maintained by my iOS Nest App, which maintains a rolling 10 day list. Typically this occurs in the first one or two hours after midnight when there is nothing going on that involves direct user activity on my LAN. The most frequent puzzle is that the “Nest Guard” CPU of my home security system unpredicably loses it’s WiFi connection for several minutes to an hour or so. A few devices have hardware connections to the router e.g., my OLED 4K TV has a Cat7 Ethernet connection (I use YouTube TV rather than Spectrum, as my TV provider) to the Extreme). Most of the 20-25 devices on my LAN are on WiFi the Extreme broadcasts the same SSID on 2.4 and 5 GHz. My LAN infrastructure includes an Apple Airport Extreme 3 TB Time Capsule purchased in late 2017 and a bridged final generation Airport Express (8o2.11n) as a network extender. I have an Arris 6120 DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem. My ISP is Spectrum, and I have 400 mbits/sec DL service over fiber to the home. For the entire year I’ve lived in my temporary rental home I’ve been trying to sort out episodic issues on my WiFi network.
