Do you have any of the various devices known to interfere with wireless routers (like microwaves, wireless phones, and so on) nearby? If not, you may need to contact Apple and let them troubleshoot it. -- Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me.

Well, other that the possibility of something being wrong with your AE, that wall is an obvious potential culprit. Not all walls are created equal. Sure, it should go through many walls just fine (mine is about 20 feet away and through a wall and works fine), but it is quite possible that there could be something in that wall in particular. -- Richard Maine | Good judgment comes from experience; email: last name at domain . net | experience comes from bad judgment. domain: summertriangle | -- Mark Twain

Are there any walls or metal objects in the line of sight between the router and the Airport Express? -- Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me.
