Lose Network Connection w/AEBS 802.11n when transferring large data amounts

Hi,
I have a LaCie 500GB external hard drive that is connected to my AEBS 802.11n via a USB hub. Lately, when I am backing up my MacBook Pro to that drive, transferring 5GB or so of data, I notice that my MacBook Pro loses connection with the AEBS (i.e. the network goes down) right smack in the middle of the data transfer. I either have to reboot the MacBook Pro -- or -- unplug and replug the AEBS to reestablish connection.
I was just wondering if this sort of network connectivity loss is being experienced by other people doing large data transfers over the AEBS to an external drive?
Thanks.

I hate to be the one adding a "me too" post, but, me too!
When I try to open iPhoto (library stored on a USB drive attached to AEBSn) the AEBSn crashes, flashes orange once or twice and then restarts. Currently running firmware 7.2 because 7.2.1 wasn't allowing me to reconnect to AirDisks after MacBook went to sleep. If the drive is connected directly to my MacBook there is no problem.
If anyone, anywhere has any idea, I'd be very grateful!

AC1200 seems to overheat and shut down when transferring large data amounts

I have the AC1200 in an AC network. While it is nice to have as a range extender, I bought it primarily to use as an AC bridge to two music servers that require ethernet connections.
Each night, i transfer data wirelessly from my desktop computer to one of the music servers that is connected to the AC1200. I have noted that, if the data being transferred takes more than half an hour or so to stream, the AC1200 frequently drops off the network. Then, when I go to restart it manually, I find that its case is very warm, sometimes almost too hot to touch.
The unit sits, exposed, on top of the cabinet in which the servers are located. Absolutely nothing impedes the flow of air from the top, bottom, or any side of the unit.
Doe ths unit run hot normally or does the transfer of "excessive" amounts of data cause it to overheat to the point it shuts itself down? I was using firmware with a June 2014 date, but, just before writing this, updated to the latest version, from July 2014. The unit is about two and a half months old. Other than this issue, it seems to be okay for its intended use.
Any thoughts?

I've had this problem off and on for the entire time I've owned the unit. I've spent hours and hours with tech support, both online chatting and on the phone. I did notice the unit was quite warm, but guess I thought that was somewhat normal and never mentioned it to tech support. Mostly the problem is that it drops the signal after 20 to 30 minutes when streaming movies or music. I think the unit is defective, but apparently can't get tech support to deem it so unless I spend even more time doing the same things over and over. (uninstall, reinstall, reset, rename and around and around we go.)
My 90-day warranty will expire in a couple days. Meantime, I just spent another 41 minutes talking to customer service this morning; they said that since I had to end the last chat session (after 2 hours) I still need to talk to tech support AGAIN and go through "troubleshooting" AGAIN until the tech deems it defective.
I am so fed up with this I could just scream. I even paid for tech support at one point early on, because I gave up on this unit and reinstalled my old range extender. All I needed them to tell me was how to re-establish a network connection/internet access, and it cost me $30 to find out I had to remove my network before I could reconnect to it...a 1-minute operation. How much punishment should I take?

Laserjet 1505 connected to AEB 802.11n via USB keeps timing out after print

I have a HP Laserjet 1505 connected on my AEB 802.11n via USB and shared on my network, on my network are two macs connected via wifi and 3 WinXP PC connected via wire. I have Bonjour and WinXP laserjet drivers installed on all Win PC. Everytime I print from any of the computers, it will print the first time, but when I try printing again from any of the machines, the macs and winxp pc's cannot detect the printer. When I go to airport utility, the printer cannot be detected anymore. I have to hard reset the AEB for it to detect the laserjet printer again. But the same thing happens again after I print out another document. Has anybody encountered this kind of problem. Can anyone help me resolve this?

Here is what I got from HP support :
The driver for the Laserjet P1006 is not available yet for Os 10.5...we are hoping it will be release in the next week or so...please click on the link below to sign up for an email update as soon as it is available..As a workaround, some people have been able to use the 10.4 driver from the cd, but this is not guaranteed to work in all applications therefore the only solution is to wait and install the 10.5 driver.
So we wait.

MacBook Pro elbows out MacBook from Internet connection on AEB (802.11n)

I have recently setup Airport Express Base Station (802.11n) to connect to Internet via PPPoE. I have the following:
a) MacBook Pro;
b) MacBook;
c) ITouch;
d) Wii
All four hook up to the AEB, and connect to the Intranet individually.
But the two laptops do not connect to the Internet simultaneously.
If the MacBook Pro is already connected, the MacBook does not. When I shutoff the WiFi on the MacBook Pro, I have to go through all the steps in the Airport Utility on the MacBook, to connect to the Internet. It works fine, as long as the WiFi on the MacBook Pro remains switched off. As soon as I connect MacBook Pro to the AE, the Internet on the MacBook drops out. The MacBook does however continues to show the name of my AE network (along with several others in the neighborhood) networks.
Internet Connection from ITouch and the Wii remains unaffected.
My intuitive analysis was that perhaps both laptops are using the same frequency or channel to connect to the AE. So I changed from "Automatic" to "1" on the MacBook Pro and "2" on the MacBook. It did not help despite more combination.
Any suggestion please.
regards ... Ajay

Ajay,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Do me a favor, as so many others are experiencing this as well with multiple Macs on a network. I've suggested so many different things, but this one just came to mind while I read your post. Try this on all the Macs and let us know...
*Can’t Access Certain Web Sites / DNS Server Settings Issue*
I'm wondering if either or both Airport Utility & Network Prefs have proper DNS server settings. Try this
Launch Airport Utility.
Select TC on left.
Click "Manual Setup".
Select "Internet" from the toolbar above.
What's listed for "DNS Server(s):"?
Try putting in these servers from OpenDNS
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Click "Update".
Your TC will restart with the new settings.
Next, launch System Prefs --> Network Prefs.
Select the service you usually connect with on the left (Airport or Ethernet).
Then click, "Advance..."
Click the "DNS" tab.
What's listed for "DNS Server(s):"?
Usually "10.0.1.1" will be listed first in gray. This refers back to the settings in the Airport Utility.
Nevertheless, it doesn't hurt to add the DNS servers noted above here as well.
Click "OK" then click "Apply".
Finally, reboot your Mac.
Now see if you have internet access all around.
Let us know if this resolves your issue.
Cheers!

AEBS 802.11n, TC and APXn with 7.3.1 is very flaky indeed - cant connect -

HI Guys I think many of you on these forums have posted because you are having joyless experiences with the new APX 802.11n, the AEBSn and the TC not able to be managed via the AIRPORT UTILITY.app v5.3.2 with firmware 7.3.1 in the former devices. After a search there's many of these posts with people with the same issues.
I have these devices in my place so I have had lost of experience configuring these over the years:
1 x 802.11n AEBS, 1 x TC, 1 xUFO white AEBS, 2 x APXg's and lastly the problematic 1 x APX802.11n (one subnet and 2 x networks 2.4Ghz and 5 Ghz)
I am at my wits ends trying to get the new APXn regularly responding to the AP utility.app (error reading configuration).
I have tried most of the remedies on these forums but they do not consistently solve the problems of the APX not responding to the AP utility.None of these have consistently worked:
• trying to factory reset it using the POWER ON+RESET and waiting for the amber flashes then green - butt this procedure NEVER WORKS to factory reset!
• using the reset button in any form (it doesn't do anything)
• connection through ethernet (sometimes works ).
• takes long to power up (than the older 802.11g)
• rest APXn back to factory defaults through the AP utility then ...
• downloaded 7.3 firmware - worse and wont work
• lastly I found that RESET+POWER ON then wait for 20 secs as as it powers up DEPRESS the RESET again and then it becomes readable.
Additionally, I have been unsuccessful in getting PORT FORWARDINg to work at all for the AEBS 802.11n with and without the TC in the mix. I had this working for several years with the White UFO AEBS ... It beats me.
I think the firmware is very very flaky and i have no resolutions for these recent problems.
Hope for a fix soon.
I will be polling these forums for any clues.

Hi Guys
REgarding the APXn's (802.11N Airport express) inability to consistently be seen by the Airport Utility.
this just worked finally for me now and have tested this 7 times and all seems ok now..
Simply: when APXN in list, save configs, reset to factordeafuts, downgrade to 7.3, upgrade to 7.3 and reinstate .configs.
UPdate: a probable work instruction that seems to consistently work.
Here is the work instruction i used.
(1) turn off all other WIFI base stations where you are that you can. (important I believe)
(2) turn off airport in your mac
(3) connect troublesome APXN to mac via ETHERNET cable. Set DHCP on your mac or some address in IPV4
(4) power off and on the APXn (yes again )
(5) whilst it is powering up, use a pen of toothpick to RESET the APXn again (i think this causes something to move around inside the magic-ware)
(6) the light will flash amber (no network to connect to)
(7) launch /utilities/airport utility.app
(8) the one and only APXn appears in the list
(8.5) optional: (cross fingers and legs :))
(9) when profile comes back, use FILE/SAVE a COPY AS to the ~/desktop to save the complete profiles and settings of what you have in there currently.
(10) select the one and only APXn and perform a airport utility.app/base station/ RESET TO FACTORY DEFAULTS - and wait for 30 secs and then it will restart
(11) when complete, quit and relaunch the /utilities/airport utility.app
(12) the APXN will be as when you bought it (pristine and no stuff in it from you)
(13) connect your mac back to internet via ethernet if possible. (avoid the wireless just to be sure but at this stage you could reinstate all your exiting wireless infrastructure)
(14) select the one and only APXn AGAIN and perform a airport utility/base station/ UPLOAD FIRMWARE and select version 7.3 (back level) . THe firmware will load into APXn 0%-100% guage and then it will restart.
(15) when complete, quit and relaunch the /utilities/airport utility.app and it will warn that one of the basestations (the only on the list - the APXN) has later FIRMWARE available for it. [This is 7.3.1].
(16) reply OK to UPLOAD NEW 7.3.1 firmware. (yes yes I realise ths sounds silly but it works ok ) 7.3.1 Firmware will up load into the APXN as above and restart will take place.. so say 120 seconds.
(17) quit and relaunch the /utilities/airport utility.app. THE APXN will appear as before as now with 7.3.1.
(18) just to make sure, (we're not quite finished), remove the ETHERNET cable. If not already done form previous optional step, ENABLE the AIRPORT (WIFI) on your mac.
(19) power OFF then power ON the APXn.. wait for the usual 70 secs..
(20) Again, to be sure, QUIT and RESTART the /utilities/airport utility.app, the APX as factory default with amber icon will appear in the list [along wit the rest of your apple airport base stations).
(21) Select it in the list fo MANUAL and the configuration will be read quickly.
(22) do this (steps 18-21) 3 or 4 times to see that it is consistent. (I this it 7 before posting this).
last step...
• select the APXN (default settings) and IMPORT the save configuration file (~/desktop/nnn.baseconfig) (all it) from the ~/desktop. Ignore any errors (untick them), add a password for the base station and UPDATE!
• wait for the usual 70 secs.
• without quitting the /utilities/airport utility.app, the UPDATED APXN with your configuration will be in the list.
NOw try and selectit for manual and it should respond in time without timing out.
Test by powering off and removing from wall socket and moving around too to make sure you can SEE it in the /utilities/airport utility.app and select it for MANUAL CONFIGURATION.
After many days of frustration on weekend and over night, this appears to have worked ok for me.
(now to work out the AEBSn port forwarding issue - it wont work).

Use USB-connected hardidsk as timemachine backup using AEBS 802.11n

Hello
I got this external hard disk MyBook 1TB. When it is connected to my Macbook Pro directly via USB or firewire, I can configure it as backup disk for timemachine.
Hwever if I connect this same hard-disk to the AEBS 802.11n via USB I cannot see it in the time machin utility.
I thought this would be an alternative to the timecapsule. (as i was told it is possible).
Any hints?
SL

Time Machine via Airdisk: Possible? Yes. Apple supported? No.
Time Machine backups to AirDisks (e.g. USB HDD attached to Extreme 802.11n) is unsupported, but has been successful by some. As well, once you decide to move any old TM backups (HDD connected directly to the Mac) to an AirDisk, you cannot continue backing up to your previous TM backup. The format it saves to vs. a local HDD is different. The folder structure you see becomes a sparsebundle/disk image via the AirDisk.

AEBS 802.11n only connects at 54Mbps?

http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/6168/airportwifi1dm6.png
im wondering if this the proper connection speed for the AEBS 802.11n im on wifi so im not connected to my router via ethernet, and im sue a MacPro with a preinstalled AirPort Extreme card.
any suggestion on how to get a faster transfer speed/rate?
thank you very much!

thank you very much for your time.
alright i applied that to the airport i did the 802.11n 5GHz option
and it states in my network utility im connected at Link Speed: 270mb so i'm assuming thats the proper speed?
its been a quite long time since ive messed around with wireless and all that, and im new to the apple wireless hardware.
i mean the connection is fast and great but im just wondering which option is better to use for a faster connection?
thanks again!

Unusual setup experience on AEBS 802.11N

I got my new AEBS 802.11N only 3 days ago, this was intended to upgrade my old AEBS 802.11b/g device. I installed the new Airport Utility software on my MacBook Pro, it went through the usual setup steps.
My MBP saw the old AEBS when Airport Utility was open for first time, I saved the config file of the old AEBS onto my MBP, shut it down and then started up the new AEBS 802.11N.
Since new AEBS device was at factory default, I imported the old AEBS config file into new AEBS, noticed that it would automatically set the Wireless security to None. The old config file definitely had the security settings on WPA/WPA2 Personal.
After applying the config to new AEBS noticed that it will not even advertise the SSID which I had set and yellow light was lit steady, probably meaning - no security enabled.
My MBP's Airport will not see the new AEBS' SSID no matter what I tried WEP, WPA, WPA2, even tried joining it manually with no security. Occasionally when security was set to None, the SSID would appear on my MBP momentarily then when I try to join it, it would say "Error Joining network".
I do have Airport Extreme Update 2007-001 installed too, even a reboot of my MBP did not help. I even reset the new AEBS to factory default and started fresh, it still did not work, it simply will not advertise it's SSID even when setting for Closed Network was left unticked in the Wireless Options pane and network mode was in Create a Wireless Network??
However I was able to get to the Internet when using the Ethernet ports on new AEBS which was connected to a DSL Modem but not on Wireless because the SSID is not advertised??
Next I fired up my MacMini which I had been using as a Media Center, it came on and saw the new AEBS SSID and joined it just fine at 54Mbps 802.11g (MacMini has no N) by this time I had the new AEBS set to WPA/WPA2 Personal security. ??
So I went in and tinkered further with the new 802.11n AEBS, I decided ah well lets create a WDS network pairing with my old AEBS, I set the new AEBS to WDS Main and old AEBS as WDS relay.
The new AEBS decided to announce Network Status as Error WDS, I went in and set the correct MAC addresses for the peer-to-peer WDS and then suddenly at this point the new AEBS refused to restart?? I really thought ah well it's time to call Apple?? Then I decided to unplug power source wait 60 seconds and started up the new AEBS again, it still reported Error WDS probably because old AEBS was also off by then.
I decided to go back to "Create a network" and suddenly voila the new AEBS started to work, the SSID was appearing on my MBP's Airport pane and I could join it. My MacMini was at this point happily chugging along on Wireless Internet as well. However my X-Box360 wireless will not join even when I selected WPA, it worked fine on my old AEBS in WPA Personal security mode.
There is something not right with the new AEBS 802.11N that I got, could it be a firmware issue? I have version 7.0 on mine. Just out of curiousity, I restarted my old AEBS and it works fine on 802.11b/g with all my devices including the XBox360.
My MBP reports it's only running at 144Mbps on the new 802.11n AEBS, is this right? I thought N could go higher or could it be because I have radio mode set at 802.11n (802.11B & G compatible) ??
Anyway thought it was worth reporting this.

I discovered something new with these AEBS 802.11N (firmware ver 7.0) devices last night.
It seems when I set it on Create Wireless network, 802.11n (b/g compatible) with WPA/WPA2 security and Channel selection set to Automatic (13), the unit will not advertise it's SSID even when Closed Network is deselected?
My MBP C2D and PB 15in will not pick up the SSID at all.
Howver when I switch the Channel selection from Automatic or anything other than channel 13, the SSID is picked-up by the MBP and PB and able to join the network perfectly ??
Has anyone out there discovered this issue with the new AEBS 802.11n? Does anyone have fix for it yet?
However my MacMini C2D seem to chug along just fine in any setting i select on the AEBS?
XBox360 only works in No security settings.
MBP C2D, MacMini C2D, PB Alu 15in. Mac OS X (10.4.8)

AEBS 802.11n, Crashing while using bittorrent

Hi, I have recently purchased an AEBS 802.11n (gigabyte ed. and using the 7.2.1 firmware) and am experiencing some problems using bittorrent.
First off, I use azureus for my torrents, and with my former linksys router I had no issues. However since purchasing the AEBS I have tried multiple torrents now, and seemingly randomly during the transfer I loose wired/wireless connectivity to my router and am unable to restore it. When looking at the actual base station though the status light is still green, but going through my mbp the device will not appear when I scan for base stations. The only way to fix this problem is to unplug/replug the router.
This happened with the first AEBS and thinking it may be an error with the actual router, I returned it. However, after unpacking the new one, configuring it... I am having the exact same issue. I haven't experienced the router crashing any other times outside of using bittorrent, so I am unable to pinpoint whether this is something random or not. However it is almost a sure bet that letting azureus run for a few minutes will crash it. Furthermore upon restarting the router, all of its logs seem to clear so I can't even begin to troubleshoot this.
I can't see how a $60 linksys router is able to outperform this very nice offering from apple, and I really would like to see this problem fixed. I hope this doesn't come down to tweaking some rare setting in the bittorrent client as I have many people that use my network weekly and it will be an increasable pain to take them through some unique setup which should not be required.
If anyone has any ideas let me know, I am fairly competition with computers and networking issues and willing to do whatever is needed to fix this. Thanks in advance.

I'm using Azureus 3.0.2.2. However this really shouldn't be an issue of client settings or what not.
The fact of the matter is, I can sit here on my friends $30 d-link, and download from BT just fine, close my laptop, open it at my house, continue downloading/seeding, and almost guarantee a crash... with the exact same settings. Furthermore how can I expect anyone on my network to dig through their respective clients settings just to use my network, and the first time someone forgets... poof router/network locked.
This is definitely a problem with the router, however I'm not sure if its a firmware or hardware issue. Hopefully this is a bug that they will be able to fix, if not the AEBS is going straight back.
I still haven't had a chance to call apple on the matter, as I am away on business... I will be returning Monday and hopefully they have some answers.

AEBS 802.11n question about bridging

using AEBS 802.11n and connecting to an existing network which is using DHCP...
internet button chosen
internet connection panel chosen
connect using : ethernet
configure ipv4 : using dhcp
ethernet wan port : automatic (default)
connection sharing : share a public ip address
is the AEBS acting as a bridge here? so, now the AEBS can pass out ip addresses that are different (local) network addresses than what the AEBS is receiving from the established network, which it is joining?? the established network 192.168.1 the AEBS DHCP network 10.0.1
internet button chosen
internet connection panel
connect using : ethernet
configure ipv4 : using dhcp
ethernet wan port : automatic (default)
connection sharing : Off (bridge mode)
or...
the AEBS is acting as a bridge here? (off (bridge mode)) can the AEBS pass out ip address using a different network address here? and if it does so there will be no NAT functionality?
what does it mean to have DHCP functionality and no NAT. does using DHCP and no NAT mean that each computer, on the local network connected to the AEBS, that segment, must have a static address?

In your first configuration, where connection sharing = share a public IP address, the AEBSn is still acting as a wireless router and, effectively, has created a second wireless subnet.
In the second configuration, where connection sharing = Off (bridge mode), the AEBSn is "passing thru" the NAT/DHCP services from the router it's connected to so any devices connected to the AEBSn will still be on the same network as the upstream router.

Win xp unable to print using AEBS 802.11n

I have a PC with winxp. Trying to print through AEBS 802.11n causes my printer to freak out. I tried to print this page, and the printer kept printing blank pages over and over. It prints one line of numbers/letters at the top of the page.
I am able to print fine directly from the usb port on the PC.
thanks

Try installing Bonjour for Windows on your XP box. Available here: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/bonjourforwindows.html
This has solved printing problems for me on XP machines on several mixed Apple and Wintel networks.
Hope this helps.

AEBS 802.11n - what speed are you seeing ?

I consistently get around 4.5 MB/s syncing from Mac to Apple TV over wireless, using AEBS 802.11n (5 GHz) network.
Is this normal experience for other users ? Seems slow to me.
What would be "normal" for an 802.11n network ?
Baron.

Well it all depends on your setup and where the bottlenecks are. Having the tape drives attached directly to the EMC is obviously faster than having it backup over the network to another media server. It also depends how fast the EMC is itself at serving the data. Then there is the type of data you are backing up, lots of small files will take longer to backup than few large files (with any backup tool).
I have my tape drives fibre attached and the EMC therefore backs up to its attached drives via that.
Personally I am seeing around 35MB/s, but in lab tests we've seen much higher than that. Our EMC is quite old and that is to LTO-2 tape drives.

AEBS 802-11N with fast ethernet ports?

Hi
One year (januari 2007) ago I bought the new model of the AEBS 802-11N. I always thought it had 3 Gigabit Ethernet ports. Just now when trying to install the new 7.3.1 firmware, I only can install the Fast Ethernet firmware. It seems that the AEBS only has Fast Ethernet ports instead of Gigabit ports.
Who can confirm that the AEBS (release jan. 2007) has only Fast Ethernet ports?
Jurgen

JurgenS, Welcome to the discussion area!
Who can confirm that the AEBS (release jan. 2007) has only Fast Ethernet ports?
Yes that is true.
The Gigabit version was released in August 2007.

E4200 - Plug in external USB drive & lose network connection

Hi - I have the Linksys E4200 [version 1] and my wireless network is set up and configured. I'm browsing with no issues. Within Linksys setup, FTP & UPnP are enabled. I have a 500GB Toshiba external USB [2.0] hard drive [E05A050DAU2XM]. When I connect it to the E4200 the data light on the modem goes off within 10-20 seconds & I lose network connection. I've tried leaving the drive plugged in and rebooting either/both the cable modem and the router but network connection is not restored until I disconnect the drive & power cycle the router. Not sure what is happening. The modem is a Cisco DPC3010 DOCSIS 3.0. I should also say that this was happening with, I believe, firmware version 1.0.01. I updated to Ver.1.0.06 (build 3) & the issue is still occurring. Thanks so much for anyone who could lend their advice!

It maybe a drive size problem that maybe the problem and not compatible. If a smaller size drive works and the larger does not. then this could be the issue. I don't recommend any drives over 500Gb to 1Tb on the USB. The larger the drives are the more problematic the issues can be and should a drive become full, the longer processing of the information will be come and USB is not the best performance for handling large file xfers and should not be used like dedicated NAS.Some routers are just not compatible with large size USB drives. If you need a large size drive for files and streaming, a dedicated NAS device would be suggested and prefered over USB drives.

T440 + USB 3.0 Dock = Loses network connection

Our company is in the process of upgrading all our Windows 7 clients (x200) to Windows 8.1, but have run into a strange issue on our new Lenovo ThinkPad T440 PC's. They seem to lose network connection shortly now and then.
This results in several issues like:
- Office 2013 programs crash when working witt documents on the network. (Outlook 2013 crashes if using .pst archive files on network shares.)
- Printers are displayed as unavailable. (Need to restart Print spooler, before it realises that the connection has been reestablished)
We are using ThinkPad 3.0 USB docks, if these might be the cuase?
The eventviewer is pretty silent in most cases when users experience the connection loss, but can the following 3 messages tell anything?
- The speed of processor 3 in group 0 is being limited by system firmware. The processor has been in this reduced performance state for 71 seconds since the last report.
- The user account is in a different forest than the computer account. The processing of Group Policy from another forest is not allowed. Group Policy will be processed using Loopback Replace mode. The scope of the user policy settings will be determined by the location of the computer object in Active Directory. The settings will be acquired from the User Configuration of these policies.

You guys have any ideas what I might try?

Working for DisplayLink, I would recommend v7.2, as it fixes a number of end user issues that were coming up on previous 7.x versions.
The lid can be closed, but usually the laptop will be configured to go to sleep when the lid is closed. This can be changed in the Windows settings. We have an article on how to do this here.
V7.2 includes a completely new Ethernet driver, which was designed to try and improve speed and reliability. After upgrade it might be worth removing all cables from the dock, power cycling it and replugging, just to make sure it is updated correctly.
We know of an issue that can cause a slow upload speed with some host controllers (ironically we turned on a change to try and improve Ethernet speed, but seems to have problems when used with some PC host controllers) and I wonder if this is the issue you are seeing.
We have a fix for this in our next 7.2 maintenance release which will be available in the next month or so.
