firehc

i ve this thing for a week now,

working perfectly when connected.

here is the problem that annoys me:

i turn the airport off everyday i finish;

the next day, i turn it back on, signal level ok,

connection made (as shown in Status) and modem lights blinking,

but i couldnt open a web page or download any mail, turn airport on/off, still nothing,

i have to go to Aiport Adm Utility to update the airport config.

and then it's fine!

The Airport is essentially a router - leave it on and connected all the time. Set it up once and forget about it. I have one connected to a Verizon DSL modem and just leave it connected all the time. There really is no reason to turn it off unless you experience slowness or a drop in signal, which sometimes can be alleviated by restarting the router (Airport).

Try leaving it on and see what happens.
