Q: amber light flashing, computer connected to internet through cable modem, ethernet to airport extreme, ethernet from ape to macbook pro.ethernet

However, the router number is different from what it should be.  APE at times has been extremely hot, says there is no cable attached when there is, and other strange behavior, amber and green alternate flashes.

 

I have reset the ape but did not redo a new network and am using last good network which gets the odd router number.

 

Is the ape due for replacement or is there something I can do to correct the problem?

airport extreme base station, Mac OS X (10.5.8)
