Hi,
I bought airport extreme refurbished model from apple online store in May 2012 (newest model at the time). It was flawless for about a year. Not a single reboot or signal drop. For the last several months, it has been dropping connection more and more often, now several times a day. Power cycling fixes the issue, but only temporarily. Sometimes, I have to reboot several times to get the internet to work. I do have the latest available firmware and use it with macbook pro.
Just wondering if this is typical behavior. This is the first apple router I owned. Had Iphone before and not a single crash in over 3 years. For this price, I expected at least 3-4 years of service. Looks like it is dying now though. I will take it to the apple store, but just wanted to get other opinions/suggestions.
Thanks.
Sincerely,
