Hey everyone. I hate to revive such an old thread, but I'm having a similar problem as the OP.
I have a MacBook 2.2 GHz (Model MacBook 3,1) from last fall. I got it on December 22nd, 2008.
Until March 15th I was living with my parents and I could get online just fine using a Linksys WRT 54GL router, and my WiFi was fine. Then I moved to an apartment the following day (March 16th) and I started to have problems.
Finally, I had to move out of that apartment due to being jobless, and not being able to pay rent, etc. I moved in with my brother, and he's got an ASUS WL-520GU router. It's across the apartment, and I'm the only one having problems with the WiFi reception. This machine has a Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 (5.10.38.9) Airport Card in it. My brother has the MacBook 2,1 and he's got an Atheros Airport Card, and he never has fluctuating WiFi as I do.
My friend suggest that it could be faulty drivers. If that's true, where can I get BCM43xx 1.0 (5.10.38.9) drivers for Mac OS X? I know for Windows you can find them on many sites. Also I should note that I believe there are lead pipes between here where I use my MacBook the most often, and the router which is down the hall and in my brother's apartment mate's room where the internet is setup.
Thanks in advance.
