Re: Apple releases AirPort Extreme base station update for Tiger
I recently replaced my four year old Airport Extreme (it still works fine) with a Time Capsule. I also use an Airport Express to send music to my living room stereo and also handle a small laser printer.
I used to occasionally have a problem with my Airport Extreme where I would have to briefly unplug it when I wasn't getting a connection. I got a surge protected power strip and plugged the Extreme and my cable modem into it. When not in use I turn them off. I use this with the Time Capsule too, and I don't have any problems now.
I'm not sure what this does, but it seems to clear out any problems before they occur.
