Trouble with Airport Extreme

I picked up the AirPort Extreme Base Station with Gigabit Ethernet and the wireless Mighty Mouse from the Apple stores with their “just ok” Black Friday sales.

I have experienced a lot of connection drops with the Airport extreme. The thing keeps dropping the wireless connections at random frequent intervals, rendering it useless. I had to reset and reconfigured it for it to pick up again. Also, the Airport Utility cannot always find the base station. When that happens, time for a reset.

I was hoping to replace the DI-524, but I guess that has to wait a little longer until Apple has either a firmware or hardware fix. This piece of junk is going back to Apple. Disappointed.

On another hand, the mouse works pretty well with the Macbook.
