Airport Express dropout when ...

When I try to download a large file with my airport express it drops out and the connection is lost for seconds. Then the airport reconnects.
I use a Motorola modem and when I connect my MacBook direct to the modem I have no problems with downloading large files.

The situation is as following:

Airport Express has good connection (green light) and the modem connectivity light is active.
When just visiting webpages nothing happens.
When I download a large file it downloads for about 10 seconds and then the Airport Express light becomes orange indicating it restarts. The connection with the Airport Express over Airport is lost.
The connection light on the modem is not active anymore, indicating the Airport is not downloading from it.
After a couple of seconds the Airport express is restarted and everything is back to normal.


I use the latest firmware version from the Airport Express and there are no other WIFI networks on the same channel. The Airport is set to spread one IP adress and DHCP is set automatically.
The downloading problem also occures when trying to download a large file on a Windows computer.

Does anyone knows how to fix this?
