Before you start trying to change things, I would recommend a complete power cycle....if you have not already done this. To do that......
Power off every device on your network.......modem, AirPort Express, computers, printer, iPhone, etc.....in any order that you want
Wait a minute
Power up the modem and let it run by itself for 2-3 minutes
Then, power up the AirPort Express and let it run for a full minute
Keep starting devices up one at a time about a minute until the entire network is back up
Check the network again
