ok, i think i'm having to unplug/replug in my base station two many times.

i did a hard reset on my ibook, logged back in, tried to log in my airport network, "wrong passwprd" even when i knew i was right.
unplugged it for 15 min, replugged, everything fine.

today, was downloading stuff, left computer w/ screensaver on, came back an hour or so later, an voila, airport disconnected not on network, first passowrd was "wrong" then kept teling me there were no networks to log into

unplugged it for 15 min, replugged, everything fine.

am i gonna hafta do this EVERYTIME i use my screensaver, reset, reboot, etc?

anybody had any problem with the airport update?

just updated, thought everything was fine, now after two hours every hour thr airport status in the menubar acts up, the time connected disappears, and the three base station lights are constantly on, no blinking,
some times loosing my connection
any way to downgrade the update

listen, i know everybody get tired of being asked base station questions, but it help if someone gave me some ideas, or walkthrough, i've been to apple support page but didn't help.
