Q: since updating extreme to 7.7.7 - connectivity is very shaky. Its like I was running on a super slow wifi - I am not - 50mbp - my TV and apple accounts now feel useless.

Latest update on Airport Extreme 7.7.7 - totally stinks. Not working anything like it should.

4 bars -5 bars. running 50mbp so that is not an issue. Anyone else?

Working fine on my system. Have you gotten a diagnostic report? Was connection verified using speedtest or similar? Make sure DNS is set to auto (settings - general - network)

Try restarting everything, to make sure thry're communicating properly.
Are you using only WPA2-AES (CCMP) encryption on WiFi, not dual mode with TKIP?

Same problem here. I have to reboot Airport Extreme ever couple days now because wifi devices can no longer connect to internet while wired devices can.
I finally rolled back firmware to 7.7.3 following these interactions:
