So both your old TC and the new AE you ordered show the same problem? I know your setup used to work, but humor me, where physically is your router? Just to see what happens, can you just lay it in the wide open like on the floor in the middle of the room or on top of a desk, reboot everything and check your signal again?
Got a tip for us?

It on the top of the hutch above my iMac. A couple of feet from the iMac and keyboard/mouse.
At one time, the modem/router were downstairs, however, I didn't have a BT keyboard/mouse at that time. Only the 2.4GHz band is affected.
The modem can't be moved, so the router can't be moved, either. I guess I will have to just let it go. Or if it is the BT, buy a wired kb/mouse.

True. I solved my PS3 problem by using the TC to extend the wireless network from the AEBS and wiring the PS3 to the TC. That can be used for any other wired devices or non-N devices I have ... but the PS3 was it. The iPods are seeing 5 to 6Mbps, which should be enough for them. The Wii, well, most likely more than enough for it.
I think I am done tinkering with it now. Netfilx and Vudu will do great on the PS3 now

Sounds like you have a solution for now.
Doesn't seem that way. Have you looked to make sure no-one else is "mooching" your network.
In another house I spent a couple of days wondering why I couldn't see my other machines and my internet access was so slow until I noticed that my iMac had decided the neighbor's open network had superior signal strength than mine and had connected to that.
I ended up with about the configuration you describe. Use a TC in a slightly better location than the iMac to pick up the AEBS network and connected the iMac and other fixed things to that by wire.
