i made the stupid mistake of buying another one of these 'things' yesterday , 18 months after i last got one , assuming they would have moved on - oh dear..
sadly , it just doesn't work
at all - the manual may as well be written in klingon and the one status light is simplicity taken TOO far , after 4 hours of fiddling all I managed was having to restart the damn thing twice and somehow ended up with my first kernel panic in 3 years !!!
the only apple product i've ever bought in over 15 years that I would call TOTAL AND UTTER 100% CRAP
what other options for extending airport extreme's range and streaming music are there ?

Clearly you're doing something wrong, as my AE has been flawless in any number of network setups.

I've had an AEx for about a year now, and although I was quite pleased with it at first, it has started to become unstable: it crashes and takes out the whole network seemingly at random.

thanks guys , i found a way round my predicament
i put a hole in a wall , fed the wires through , moved the base station upstairs and now my signal's excellent
so much for the hi-tech approach !!!

I'll bet putting the hole in the wall felt good too! 
My brother-in-law had a problem where the room he wanted his network stuff in was the only "bedroom" without a cable drop. No sweat: he got his buddy, a handyman, to put a utility box in the wall this room shared with another bedroom that did have one, and a connecting one in the other side of the wall. After that, it was simple to run a cable from the coax drop to the new box and through to the room he wanted it in.
