Airport Extreme Station

[Mikebuzzsaw]

Soo... since Time Capsule is out... anyone expect price cuts for the extreme base station?

No. The TC is just an addition to the wireless product line and since it's over $100 more than a base station I don't see any reason for a price drop.

What about the AEBS getting upgraded?

What would you upgrade? I would just like the AirDisk to work...

Sometimes if you check the refurb site you can find them for cheap. Also check the marketplace here for people selling them

The only thing I could see them adding would be a second USB port. It would just be nice to be able to attach a HD and a printer without needing to buy a USB hub.

How about updating the friggin' 7.2.1 running on AEBS to 7.3?? FSM knows we've been waiting long enough.

Amen to that.

Does AirDisk work for ANYONE? I don't mean with Time Machine, I mean work reliably at ALL?

Yes, it sure would be nice for the device to not work like it's connected to a VPN on the other side of India when you're trying to maintain it. There are oodles of software issues with that thing.

On a hardware note, is it THAT hard to get a power switch on a router?

I've given up on AirDisk. The longest I've gotten it to work is approx. 5 hours. Then it's the old disconnect, mount/remount/unmount locally routine, and back again for a couple of hours.
