Incredible. This thread is nearly two months old and it's still going strong. This problem is a lot older than that and other older threads attest to that fact.
Would a simple acknowledgment that a problem exists be
too much to ask for Apple?
If they haven't fixed it in several months, I strongly suspect this problem is not even on their radar. I don't believe anyone is on the case and I don't believe they have any intention whatsoever of expending the effort to fix a bug that affects a 'mere' several thousand people.
Does anyone even want it fixed? Based on my experience with Airport Extreme updates, the next one will be even worse. In the last couple of days, I've revisited each of the updates. Strangely, going back in time has the effect of progressively fixing the bugs. LOL.
Reminds me of that old joke:
Q: "How do you give a country and western song a happy ending?"
A: "Play it backwards"
