Nope. The furniture hasn't changed place, and I haven't hammered the
poor Pismo too bad. Or the iBook.

I suspect so. My neighbors tend to change every 3 months or so (I'm
dead serious), so I tend to be surprised almost every time I check the
networks.

I hope not. At this point, resetting it to factory defaults is the
only fix I haven't tried. Maybe the time has come to get a new router.
If that's the case, do you recommend the AE Apple models, or staying
clear of them? I have heard very good and very bad things about
them...
