Hey,
I've tried searching the forums but I'm still in the dark so therefore I'm asking my question here, to you guys.
Since a week or so my Macbook has recently started dropping its internet connection. I can use the it for 1hr or so and then the bars reduce and my connection is suddenly gone even though I have 2 bars left and I'm still connected to the network. The only thing I can do then is wait, wait and wait for my connection to come back. Sometimes after 5 minutes, sometimes after 5 hours.
I've tried various solutions on my router and Macbook itself:
Yet I still can't surf proper. Anyone else encountered this issue? It happened all of a sudden whilst I had been surfing for a day or so. Suddenly - after taking a sigarette break and upon returning - my computer went bullocks.
This is no fun and I sincerely hope to find a solution. Does anyone, please, have any ideas on how to solve this?
Thank you very much in advance

When my connection is fine I have a transmit rate of 54, when I have 2 bars the transmit rate is 1-6.

- Manual IP address
- Change security from WEP to WPA2
- Disable MAC filtering
- Change key
- Change channel
- Disable interfering devices (wireless phone, other laptops, ...)
- Rebooted
- Deleted pref files and stored locations
- Created a new location with only Airport in
