I just bought an Airport Express 2nd Gen on Ebay, so I could use my old stereo as an Airplay device. I set it up just fine, it shows up, plays music, until it doesn’t. Within a few minutes, it always complains that it doesn’t have a DNS address, and if I ignore that problem, within another few minutes, it losing the entire config, it won’t show up on my network at all, I just see a blinking amber light.

This can be fixed by resetting to factory defaults, and set it up again, but the above paragraph always repeats. I’ve set it to factory defaults, and gone through the setup process 4 times in the past 2 days. Is it just broken, or am I missing something?
