In the last 24 hours, my slow but steady DSL connection became a half hour on, 2 hour off roller coaster. Now I can’t connect through the router (AirPort Extreme) at all.

I’ve used this same base station in 3 locations, with 4 different ISPs, and never had a problem before. Heck, it worked great for weeks in this place. I’m baffled.

Looking in the Apple Support forums, it appears I’m not alone.

When you are working from home, having the network go down is a body blow. I’m going to try hard resetting the base station, but I’m not optimistic.
