DigiGal, thanx - it will take me a while to digest those pages of discussion.
So far My (refurbed) Aiport extreme has not lost connections- though it did a while back before I updated the firmware- I would have to restart it multiple times a day - so I know how that sucks...
you must have bought apple care for your original airport... how long was it for and how much was it?

I'm running the current version 5.7 and having the problems with the old style flying saucer extreme. The thread suggests rolling back to a different version as a work around. My saucer extreme was covered under the apple care protection from my old imac but that had expired a year ago. The current model extreme that I just purchased is an apple certified refurbished unit, it will now be covered under the apple care protection of my current imac.
If you have the old style saucer shaped extreme it will likely need frequent re-boots with the latest software.
Thought you originally mentioned having the saucer shaped extreme and didn't see a post mentioning that you got a new extreme. If you have since picked up a current model flat unit as a refurb you shouldn't have the issue.
So which model airport extreme do you have now?
Note: the new units do not have an external antenna port like the old models did.
