I recently bought a new Airport Extreme Base Station (Gigabit, 802.11n) and replaced my older (c.2005) Airport Express with it as my main network router. Now I want to use the older Express as a WDS remote to extend the network.
I've got everything configured properly through the setup wizard and all is well for several hours after setup-- I'm able to connect wirelessly to the network and connect to the internet. Both the Base station and the remote show Green status lights. All is well.
Then, 4-5 hours later, although the status lights are still green and I can connect to the network wirelessly, my internet connection is lost. And 'Internet Connect' only shows me connected to the Express (MAC address)... and Airport Utility only displays the Express, not the Extreme..
Separately, using either unit as a base station with no remote, I have no problems, everything works flawlessly.
There's a pretty lengthy discussion about this issue on the Apple Support forums (here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.j...) with no resolution-- apart from the hope that Apple will release a new Express revision that may address the problem.
Please don't tell me, Apple, that the solution to this issue is for me to spend more money. Please.
