Might not be the Airport Extreme's fault, as it could be your Internet
service provider and you will have the same problems with a new wifi
router.

This may be out of our bailiwick on this list, but here goes:
DP 1.8 G5, running Leopard 10.5.8, 4 gigs ram, hardwired into the
Airport extreme (saucer, model A1034)
an iPad 1
2 or 3 iphones (if daughter is home)
2 mac laptops (when both girls are home)
netflix via wireless (airport extreme) on the home entertainment
system
Hp 5-in-1 printer, which must be hardwired into the computer for
scanning.
Cable modem
She who must be obeyed has expressed displeasure with the Airport
Extremes performance, constant reboots and associated interruptions
in movies and playing on the iPad.
Is there one that is better for a home system than others?
Anyone had good luck with refurbished units?
Limits: G5 does not have an airport card, so needs hardwire
(currently ethernet) entry.
$$
WEP 128 bit security? Should I assume WEP 256 is better? Or is WPA
adequate?
Will updating into the n-bands have a large increase of speed for
phones and laptops?
