Our Airport base stations were starting to die. Every once in a while, the basestations would still broadcast the SSID, and wireless devices could still connect to them but wouldn't transmit any data to our wired network. Since this was happening to both our Airport Express and Airport Extreme base stations, I assume that there was something, either on the wired network, or some RF interference that was causing them to lock up.
I took this opportunity to upgrade to a 802.11n base station, so I bought the
D-Link DAP-2553
. This was one of the few dual-band, non-router, base stations. Once I set it up, things have been working a lot better than they were with the Apple base stations.
