Airport connection issues?

I know someone who has an Airport extreme and said it has worked fine for quite a while but now he has to turn it off to reset it, sometimes once a day.
Is this usually a problem with the airport or the DSL modem?

I haven't had any problems with mine. What's the problem that he is having?
 
it just seems to be dropping the wifi, not sure why. the wired computers don't seem to have any connectivity problems.

If it is just droping wifi and does well with wire, why it should be related to the Modem or the Router part of the Airport?

It might be the Bonjour Wireless utility manager used by the Airport.

Check to make sure that it is Not running while the Windows utility is running too.

It's the Airport. I had two of them and they randomly dropped wireless connections all the time and had to be rebooted. I finally gave up and replaced them with Linksys E3000s and have not had a single issue since. In my opinion the Airport Extreme is a POS. I want to sell the two I have but feel like I am giving someone my old headaches so they sit in the corner like bad little boys.
