    The 3900 didn’t have 5GHz networking.  I’m not sure from your description, but I THINK that may be what you’re trying to connect to.  (from “BHN ..... -5G”) I might guess, that you turned the Express off, and while you were doing that, 2.4GHz was turned off on your router.  (This has happened to some people during automatic router/gateway updates.) So then, when you turned the Express back on, its old network was nowhere to be found.

    That said, I had a 3900 and it got flakey after a couple of years and I replaced it.  Possibly just not one of their better hardware designs.

If it was me, since you have ultra's, I forget wireless and go wired. If you can't run Ethernet cable directly, there are many power line to Ethernet adapters available. Just do an internet search for "power line to Ethernet adapter". I've used them and they work fine for streaming. Just My $.02.

Hi There Mr. Mop 😃

'power line to Ethernet adapters' ?

Never knew they existed? Do you mean adapters/converters that utilize a 110 volt power outlet transforming line voltage into an Ethernet Connection?

Thanx Mr. Mop!
