Q: 7.6.1 Airport Extreme Update problem

Last night I updated my Airport Extreme to 7.6.1 firmware. Since the upgrade all of my radio connections keep dropping out. I have now reverted back to the 7.6 firmware and my radio connections are all back to normal.

Has anybody else experienced this issue?

    Apple has to take responsibility for this problem, or solve it as fast as possible. Until now solved the problem by buying a new router (Cisco), after several attempts and several hours and days lost. After the update my airport was never the same. And I'm really angry with the passivity of Apple.

    I have an AirPort Extreme 5th gen came with 7.6.1.   No problems at first about 6 months in after a few updates to latest firmware the wifi signal shrank and wifi and wired speeds dropped considerably. It seems like every router I get performs great then issues develops

     

    I took it to apple store and they tested it and it ran fine. I got it home and the issue started again.

     

    it appears to be something wrong and I wont buy another apple router went to an asus and its got QOS and is making my internet shine again.

     

    I loved the ease of use at first but after reading this thread I'm buying a warranty when I get any new router and just replacing when signal issues become a problem.

     

    I live an hour from the apple store so to drive back down there even if they gave me a new one wouldn't be worth it.

     

    a person at best buy was saying the power supply was really close to the antenna on the router I have and could cause heat issues??? 

     

    Just thought it would last longer.
