I have an old Airport Extreme that has been the main routing workhorse for my family and myself. It is starting to show its age. It appears to be dropping wireless network connections. I caught it on both my iPhone and MacBook Pro going from my "5G"hz network to my regular non Ghz network...

Congrats on the new build and becoming a member of STH! I've been looking for something a lot more affordable on the pocketbook and your build might suit what I have in mind. Thanks for posting it!
