Permanent ethernet is only possible(and not pretty) for half of my apartment. I understand that wireless is not always possible but the biggest frustration is that I've run wireless with no problems in the same place with the same system for almost a year and a half. I ran wireless for over a year in my old house with no problem using the older Airport and Macs. So I know that it is completely possible and do-able. I really think it's just a matter of going over the setup with someone familiar with the new Airport extreme. It has a new utility that the older extreme and Airport Express that I have succesfully used did not have. The new utility has a much wider variety of settings and I am unforunately not much of a tech expert. I searched the forum for Airport before posting and didn't come up with too much info. I thought maybe a thread detailing the settings etc. on the new Airport would be a service to others down the road and get me back working. As I said I'm also going through Slim customer service who have never failed me yet. Although I see that you're from Slim so I hope this doesn't mean it's time to throw in the towel! They've taken the time to listen to the problem and detailed how to switch form the n to the b/g networks. Unfortunately that hasn't done it and it doesn't appear that they're familiar with all of the ins and outs of the settings and menus of the new Airport. The Apple manual and Airport help doesn't appear to explain the different settings even if I were to understand the explanations. I'll try to search around more on the Apple website but understanding detailed wireless network settings is tough going when you're not a computer expert. My plan is to run wired for a little while just to make sure that runs smooth. Then I'm at least partly on track and I can hear some music. Once that's established hopefully there is someone out there that has some suggestions and we can get to the bottom of it. Thanks, Ron
