[CUBE] Airport Question

[John Farago]

this has been happening to me ever since the most recent firmware 
update a couple of months ago

as best i can tell in conversation with Apple, they believe it has to 
do with possible interference from other devices on the same 
frequency range (cordless phones, other base stations in the area . . 
.)

it is very strange indeed
