My home network is going *nuts* suddenly.
The setup is an Actiontec FIOS router, wired to a few computers, a Netgear switch, and then across the house there's a Airport Extreme in bridged mode.
The internet will suddenly die out of nowhere. Sometimes restarting the router/airport works, but it's not consistent. The only clue I'm seeing is that my laptop is showing a message on it that says my laptop's network name is in use, "Blablabla's Laptop (3)"... as if the network is not renewing the clients on the network and is trying to double or triple them. I even noticed if I go to Airport Utility, my network, instead of being called "Family Network", it's called "Family Network (3)"... that's when the system isn't working though - once I get it working, the names are back to what they should be.
What is going on here? It's my parents place, they said they had the Verizon guy come and replace the router and then I replaced the old switch with a new switch.... it fixed things for a week or two but now it's doing it again.
