Ever since adding my AE into my wireless setup I've been battling connectivity issues. I thought I had it licked recently after downgrading to the 7.3.2 firmware but was still getting odd anomalies such as dropouts, beachballs to shared drives and reduced speed depending on which node (AEBS or AE) I was connected to.

Have any of you experienced poor performance after adding an AE to your network?

For reference here is my setup:
- AEBS N in bridge mode - pre-gigabit on v7.3.2 firmware
- AE N - v7.3.2 firmware
- Set to 5ghz N wide channels, Verizon Fios Actiontech is taking care of DHCP
 
I use both AEBS and AE, but not to extend, just to get a network drive and wireless audio in my one room in law(yeah talk about lazy). I used to only use an AE and noticed no changes or problems with the network and I use Comcast.
