    Well, just got another response from the Apple engineers in response to the information I sent them (at their request) a couple weeks ago. Their response states that it is indeed a known bug and that they are working on a fix.  No ETA or anything like that was included.

    I will take this as very good news, Bob. I'm sure it is a complicated issue - however, I hope they have something ready for 5.1 or I'll be more than a little bummed.

    Still loosing the connection after a few seconds. :/

     

    If this bug is not fixed under 5.1 I'm going to return the iPhone 4S and Zeppelin Air. Not working with my Windows PC AND my iPhone 4S is definitely not acceptable.

    I bought a Zeppelin Air Play last Friday, too. I have exactly the same problems: I have to reboot my WLAN router every 10s when I use the iPhone 4S! ...And I had the second self-discharge in 4 weeks! Very disappointing Apple!!

    I just got the info that iOS 5.1 beta 1 is not fixing the issue. Let´s hope there will be another beta. So it´s even more important to report this bug at http://www.apple.com/feedback to let Apple know that not only a few customers are experiencing this problem.

    Got a brand new Zeppelin Air today  and I was really excited about the sound quality, until my iPhone 4S screwed my mood. I almost went back to shop for a replacement until I research and found this thread.

     

    Guys please feedback this to apple @ http://www.apple.com/feedback so that it can be resovle asap.

    Before: iPhone 4S + AirPort Express on Swisscom WIFI (b) = crash with AirPlay!

     

    After: new WIFI with Time Capsule (n) + 4S + AirPort Express = working AirPlay

     

    So...maybe WIFI type n is better and more compatible with 4S!

    interesting obvsevation GH02

     

    Sadly, I cant change my modem / router - it's an ISP one which also provides my IP TV..  And im not sure what the Zeppelin Air has in the way of bands.

    Fascinating story wdowell1804. Here's an interesting observation;  the 4s itself is the only common denominator, so maybe this is a hardware issue and not fixable by software update. Apple aren't going to acknowledge that.

    I'm confused, I thought the the phone is communicating with the Airplay reciever (Zeppelin, airport express, etc), not the isp/wireless router.   Can't one configure a wireless network between a Zeppelin and an iphone with no isp, or am I wrong about this? 

     

    I have thought about compatibility too, since my issue is with  iP4S + AP Express (g).  I was considering buying an apple TV (n) or a new AP express (n).  But it appears this issue is more complex.

    Thinking about this some more, I'm betting the following configurations dont work:

     

    4S --)) Incompatable Router --)) Zeppelin Air

    4S --)) Incompatable Router --- or --)) AP Express---stereo

     

    And these do:

     

    4S --)) Compatable Router --)) Zeppelin Air

    4S --)) AP Express --)) Zeppelin Air

    4S --)) Compatable Router --)) AP Express---Stereo

    4S --)) AP Express---Stereo and any Router

     

     

    --- hard wired

    --)) wireless

    Nope.  This is my configuration, and it knocks down the whole network.

    Then your configuration is probably this:

     

    4S --)) Incompatable Router --)) AP Express---stereo

    I'm willing to bet everbody who connect their phone's wifi to an Apple wireless system (Express/Time Capule) are golden. 

     

    Everyone else is suspestable to a conflict with a third party router.  I have an Express but my phone connect to the ISP gateway.  I'll switch to connect to the AP Express tonight and report back.
