Airport Extreme firmware updated to 802.11n draft 2

There are some solutions to the problems mentioned above on this webpage: http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20070831092133631

Fix for slow access/no access
Slow internet connection

Correction....seems that the 7.1.1 is screamin' fast again...urgh... I've checked the cable modem and rebooted it when I had the problems with this new version and it's not the ISP.

Updated to this firmware and I've had nothing but dropped connections...reverted back to 7.1.1 and still have issues... Not sure what is going on now...

I updated my AE with 7.2.1 - I am using "n" mode with my Macs. Lost internet thru the Linksys router.
I reverted to 7.1.1 and all is well again. Something not right with this firmware load.

I'm also experiencing similar issues to those mentioned above. Since upgrading, I've found that my Airport won't go more than an hour or two without restarting. Also, wireless connectivity is intermittent, even with my Macbook located less than 12 inches away from the base station.

The 7.2.1 firmware update hosed my NAT/PMP UPnP software, Lighthouse. The developer of Lighthouse has advised users not to upgrade to 7.2.1.

Gino,
Thanks for the tip. I ordered a PCMCIA card version for my Powerbook G4. $59 from the Quickertek website. That's 1/3 the price it's listed on other sites. Heck of a deal. Let me know how the USB version works.

I haven't had any problems since updating. My USB hard drives and printers worked before the update, and they continue to work flawlessly afterwards.

The only thing I can't figure out or research is what on earth is a 'MultiCast Rate', and how should it be configured?

How long should this update take? Mine has been sitting and showing me the progress bar for 10 minutes now.

My wireless still "works" but has been reduced to a fraction of it's previous speed. I am using the original (100 Mbps) version of the AEBS as an access point only (I have a separate router, D-Link DGL-4100). I use it with my first generation MacBook Pro which I have upgraded to 802.11n using the 2 antenna Mac Pro card. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

I am hoping new drivers for client systems will follow this update shortly...
