[QUOTE="talleyrand, post: 1333460, member: 12452"] I have been using the same Airport Extreme since 2005. I realize it may just be getting old. The last available firmware update for it is 3 or 4 years old. In the last year and a half or so I have added an Apple TV, iPad, and several iPhones to the network. And swapped out the main desktop with a newer one. In the last 4(?) months the router seems to lose connection. It started happening only occasionally but now it seems everyday when I come from work I have to unplug and plug back in the router. While watching a movie Saturday it conked out twice, (maybe it just didnt like Conan?) I unplug it, plug it back in and its fine. One other thing, is twice it seems the connection dropped when someone started using the iPad. So is my nearly 7 year old Airport busted? Or is there something simple I can do to trouble shoot this?
