[DM-MUG] Airport Extreme Issues?

[John Eller]

I'm about to take my Extreme to the store to be tested, but MediaCom  
has been having a lot of problems lately. I'm guessing that the  
Extreme will test out all right.  I'm also thinking that my experiment  
with MediaCom is about to come to an end.
