I bought an AEBS back in 2002 and it has been replaced once since then under Applecare ~ 2004. It has worked great, had no problems, and I also have an AExpress set up, not to extend the network, just joined for AirTunes. When I bought my Apple TV last April I found that everytime I went to stream something I had to rejoin the network and put in my password via Apple TV. But my iMac and 12" PowerBook never lose the connection. Naturally I thought something was wrong with the Apple TV and called tech support. After completely setting up my network several times now and changing the channel, the Apple TV wouldn't keep a connection. So Apple finally agreed to send a replacement. However in doing this in the last week, my iMac sometimes is losing my network (1 foot away) and when I launch the Admin Utility sometimes it doesn't appear on the list even though it is online and logged into the network.
So the new Apple TV arrived yesterday, I haven't had any more problems with the iMac connecting to the Airport and when I went to set up the Apple TV, it sees the network but won't log in. I am guessing that the Airport is on its way out, but I don't know.
I feel like I have to bite the bullet and go buy a new Airport. But it kind of bums me out b/c I have my AEBS wall mounted and the new n version doesn't offer that.
FYI, when my old Apple TV was connected I always got full signal strength, as well as with my iMac. The Apple TV is about 25 feet from the AEBS and there is nothing major in the way. It also sits on top of my TV Armoire, away from my other components.
Any ideas?
