I'm aware that there are several issues surrounding anything having to do with Airport in general but I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on narrowing down this particular problem

I have a third generation MB Pro and a month ago I got a brand new gigabit AEBS. Everything seemed to be working fine until the Airport connection on my MB Pro just started "blinking." The wireless connection indicator would go off...3 seconds, then back on again, 3 or 4 seconds, then back on again. When I clicked on it, it would say "scanning." I tried turning off the MB's airport and then on again, same problem.

I expected my new AEBS was having issues but I turned on my PC laptop just to be sure. Boom. Solid connection, no problems. So my problem was with my MB Pro, right?

I rebooted, same problem. The PCs in my house were still fine.

This time I unplugged and restarted the AEBS. A minute later, problem solved!

This problem happens at least two times a week and is only limited to my MB Pro, but the only solution seems to be resetting the AEBS.

Which of these two is the real problem? I haven't been able to find this particular issues on the boards.
