Hello all,
I've been experiencing some crazy 'apple hell' with the Airport Extreme Base Station (AEBS) and I have two. The reason is so that I can have roaming/WDS setup.
The problem started occuring after I got ADSL, and I got my self a D-link DSL-300G+ modem which is connected to the WAN port of the main AEBS. The LAN port is connected to the uplink port on my 8-port linksys switch via a Xover cable.
I have set the airport to get net info via DHCP and to supply the standard ip addresses with a lease of 4hrs (which is standard).
The problem is that after a couple our of intensive downloading (on my 512/128 ADSL link meaning a max of 64KB/s down and 16KB/s up....) the AEBS will crash/jam up such that I can even access it via Airport Admin Util of OS X. I had the latest firmware installed untill yesturday where I changed the firmware to 5.0.4 and now I notice longer 'crash free running time'.
I some how suspect the low quality ADSL modem to be the culprit, because when I was at Uni, I had this same AEBS plugged into the Uni net and it ran perfectly for months and months.
If any one can shed some light to this very annoying issue, please PLEASE reply. I am also hunting some Apple email addresses, cause it seems to me that Apple dont like offering technical support via email, but how else can I contact them as I live in Sri Lanka...
Thanks and Best Regards,
Michael de Silva
