I have a pretty unusual problem, and I can't seem to come up with any answers. I have the latest model simultaneous dual band Airport Extreme. It's set up for wide 5GHz channels. I have three devices connected to it wirelessly: a black MacBook, a brand new MacBook Air, and a Linksys WET610n wireless bridge that goes to my PS3.

All will be working fine, with my MacBooks and PS3 simultaneously online. However, if I put one of the MacBooks to sleep, it kicks the WET610n off the network. The device then takes about 3-5 minutes to recover its network connection.

Any idea what the problem could be? It seems incredibly unusual that putting a laptop to sleep could cause this, but it's repeatable. Unfortunately, I don't know how to fix it.
