Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT

Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

Intermittent Connection Drop since the 7.3.2 update.

Setup:

AirPort Extreme 802.11n (802.11n only (5GHz))

iMac "Core 2 Duo" 3.06 24-Inch (08)
iMac "Core 2 Extreme" 2.8 24-Inch (Al)
MacBook Pro "Core 2 Duo" 2.2 15" (SR)

Everything was running smoothly when we first got the AirPort Extreme. Then the 7.3.2 update came out and we started having intermittent connection issues.

Every few minutes, there would be no Internet connection whatsoever even though the AirPort connection is still there and I can still connect to the AirPort Extreme via AirPort Utility. Obviously I first assumed it was my ISP so I called but they assured it wasn't them. Just to verify, I had plugged one of my computers into the modem directly bypassing the AirPort and it was indeed fine.

Below are some of the other possible solutions I've tried and failed:
• Revert back to previous versions of firmware. (I've tried them all)
• Reset the AirPort Extreme

Any suggestions or even just confirmation that I'm not the only one experiencing this issue would be great 🙂

iMac "Core 2 Duo" 3.06 24-Inch (08), Mac OS X (10.5.4)

I'm seeing the same problems in the last few weeks. I have a brand new MacBook Pro that is unable to access the INternet reliably for more than a few minutes at a time. For a company that prides itself on product quality and user experience Apple should be ashamed of how it has handled this issue. The least it can do is to fess up to the problem and then give us an estimate for a fix. This silent treatment puts the company in a poor light.
