Anyone had an issue with strength going down after the update to the firmware? Our network was working fine until I did the update, now it shows only half the strength sitting right next to the station.

you can also use The wireless repeater 300N(WR300N) device which can take an existing 802.11n wireless signal, repeat and send it to a longer range where it is too far away for the router or access point to reach. It eliminates the cable wires while providing the same reliable network connection. It can repeat and extend the wireless signal from virtually any 802.11n wireless router or access point that is launched on the market. It is backwards compatible with the 802.11b/g router or access point.

You could also use PowerLine (Ethernet -> Power line) adapters to extend Ethernet between an Airport Extreme and an Airport Express. Already use PowerLine devices to interconnect ethernet non-mobile devices because it’s faster and more reliable than WiFi. i.e. streaming 1080p from computers upstairs to HD TV downstairs in the living room. Old house, difficult to run Cat6 Ethernet cable.
