All is well that ends in pizza.

In both cases I would suspect some unknown defect that is not letting the wifi work, while not being something that the inner workings can ID.

It may be something as simple as internal disconnection of the antenna.

Well, it's only a theory.

Do you have an apple store nearby? Maybe they could test it.

I'll see if I can find anything on it.

What model airport base station is it? Does it have amodel number?

brand new express. Runs the 802.11n.

I'm surrounded by Apple Stores. Not a big deal to drop it back off. Just don't want to look like a noob.

SUCCESS!!

I had my work laptop at home. So I plugged it in. Immediately it said there was a firmware update for the lil guy. Strange that I didn't get the notice last night, but whatever. Did the update. It took two tries, but it finally got an IP addy, and I'm connected! Perseverance pays off I guess.

oh god, only 9%!! And it's been how long? That's a progress bar you can't even watch, it's so slow.

Oh, btw, I found manuals and paperwork on those two cameras. Do you want? Or shall the recycle monster munch on it?

10% now. Two days.

I'm hoping for one of those Windows-style suddenly speeds to the end of the percentage things.

As for the camera manuals, maybe I could find the manuals online. Anything special about the paperwork?

not really, except the fact that a) I found them, and b) they survived the move, and c) I found them again AFTER the move. That, in and of itself, is special! Aside from that, the cameras are pretty basic. Nothing you couldn't figure out, I'm sure. Didn't know if you were the type that liked everything or not. Either way, let me know. Happy to post them. Otherwise, to the paper recycle they go.
