Hi Ronni
I have removed all Belkin WeMo addresses
All extra networks I may have joined.
I have connected via ethernet to Airport and straight to internet - all good.
I have hard reset Airport, no change to WiFi. So, a WiFi setting somewhere.
Will try the reset on Airport.
Details of Network:
Interface name:en1
IP address 10.0.1.21
Router:10.0.1.1
Internet: Reachable
Security:WPA2 Personal
Channel:1 (2.4GHz, 20 MHz)
Country Code: AU
RSSI: -74dBm
Noise: -84 dBm
TxRate:104Mbps
PHY Mode: 802.11n
MCS Index: 13
I notice that it is on the 2.4 GHz not 5GHz
Airport Utility on the iPhone6+ shows my time capsule, and 16 clients (lots of
WeMo switches)
Airport Utility on MacBookPro - network - green BUT no configured airport base
stations :-(

Hi Brian,
You might need to have your consultant check your Network setup for you, it
certainly sounds messy to me. You seem to have a lot of Preferred Networks and
perhaps not in the preferred order. Which would slow down the time of
connection as it searches.
1. You need your Airport 5GHz to be at the top of the list of Preferred
Networks.
Drag it to the top if it's not there.
2. Delete any Network profile you no longer need by selecting it and clicking
the minus - button.
3. What Network are you currently connected to? In your earlier email you were
connected to the 2.4GHz channel not the 5GHz channel.
Hold down the Option key when you click the Wi-Fi menu
Which then displays a detailed network window
Let us know the details please.

Open Keychain Access
Under Keychain Access - click Keychain First Aid
Select Repair
Type in your password
Click 'Start'
