The Thrice-Cursed Airport Express

The thrice-cursed Airport Express has crashed again. First, printer sharing failed, and then a few days later the shared internet connection failed. Running the Airport Admin utility revealed that the device couldn’t even be found on the network. A power cycle fixed it.

I checked Apple’s site and there is an update to the firmware, which will take the device from 6.1 to 6.1.1; we’ll see if that offers any improvement. The AirPort 4.1 software package offered for download on the same page is apparently the same version I already have. Meanwhile, until I determine if this update helps the reliability, I can’t recommend the AirPort Express to anyone.
