Ok I'm getting really frustrated.
I have a school with 4 Airport Extremes all setup on a gigabit network attached to an Xserve and 30 macbook's.
Basically what I am trying to figure out is what is causing my Airport to constantly drop connection. Not necessarily from the internet but basically if I have a Remote Desktop session open, iChat, Addium, or anything that requires a constant connection it drops.
I have hooked a Cat5e cable to my laptop which is connected to the same gigabit switch that the Airport Extreme is connected to and I never get any drops. It's only when I'm wireless. And I know it's not my MacBook because I never have this problem at home (2wire Uverse router with WiFi), or if I connect to a different Access Point (one used for a cafe which is subnetted but connected to the same internet connection) it doesn't have this problem either.
It's only when I'm in my office connected to an Airport Extreme that it does it. Does anyone know what is causing this? If I'm on a Skype call on my iPhone connected to that AP it drops the call also. Even Skype on my MacBook does too. HELP!!!! I've tried several different things to remedy this problem and have been unsuccessful.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Brad
