Sheesh...

Have spent 4 hours total in telephone with applecare because of the bloody Airport Extreme..

The problem is the bug that affects the airdisk/drive connected to Extreme, causing them do dissappear and/or when finally found they reject the password. Only total reset of Extreme helps to this issue.

First 2 hours went arguing wether the issue even exists.
When they finally admitted it might be an issue they couldnt provide any help to correct the issue.

First two employees vehemently denied there is any issue.
When I pointed out that it really is an issue,"go to the apples discussion forums where there are literally hundreds,if not thousands of users with problems" they said this problem wasnt documented in their database...

Riiiight...



But.
Is there any workaround for this issue?

Extremes firmware is 7.2 atm (managed to revert to it from 7.2.1) but I cant find 7.1 wich could solve the issue untill the next patch comes out.
Update to the airport tool fixed finally the WDS issue,now it is only this ***** to fix.


Setup:Extreme+Express+10.4.11+WD Elements 500GB.
