Hi All,

I am trying to setup a wireless network in my house using two Airport Expresses - one to broadcast a wireless network, which is then bridged with another Airport Express which I am using in client mode to connect to my iPhone Wireless Hotspot.

This works "fine"; however it continually connects and disconnects, which obviously pretty much means that I have no connection. Sometimes it will happily stay connected for a while, and then start the connect/disconnect cycle.

I found this article about how to change the beacon interval on a Linksys router which stops the Airport Express running through this cycle of connecting and disconnecting.

I downloaded MyWi 5.0 onto my iPhone 4 to see if this would allow me more advanced settings on how to broadcast my internet, in the hope that I could change the beacon interval from my iPhone; but the problem persists.

I wonder if anyone else has experienced a similar issue specifically between an iPhone hotspot and an Airport Express, and what has been done to stop the connect/disconnect cycle.

Thanks everyone!
