I'm guessing this is what's happening on the client own branded
modem/routers, but for me personally I don't want to replace my AEBS which
I'm quite happy with as was a reasonable expense for it and should work
correctly really (also I'm a cable modem user @ home).
While Apple push their complete integration of products in their stores,
fixing this for SIP traffic would seem logical thing to do really other
routers don't have the issue. Also setup for WDS and AE is quite painful on
non Apple routers and I use both AE and AEBS.
Thanks
Mark.
