[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1512904, member: 234411"] Well, picked up our new iMac on Monday - tried to install my old Cisco router last night w/o success (2+ yrs old and no updated software for OS Mtn Lion) - so bought a new AirPort Extreme and installed today about noon - seemed to go well using the downloaded AirPort Utility and had the new computer wired w/o a problem & wired my old Dell - BUT, my wireless home network seems to be in a shambles at the moment - UGHH! Devices that 'use to respond' MBP laptop, 2 iPads, Nook, 2 Rokus, a HDTV, & a Blu-ray Sony player, SO a lot of devices. The laptops & iPads seem to work most of the time (as now), but I cannot get the Nook or the Rokus to consistently connect (i.e. intermittent) - I've rebooted the router a number of times and gone into the utility but cannot seem to find a 'manual' selection that might permit me look @ each device for reconfiguration? I've DL several manuals and have spent a couple of hours trying to figure out this router which seems to be a fairly simple setup. I'm about to reset the router and start over but have given up for the night and hope that someone here w/ more experience w/ the Apple AirPort devices might help - would appreciate any comments - thanks.
