Hi All,

I've just started having problems with my Macbook wifi connection to my home network. They've worked together without any issues for a long time, and I know that the wifi network is fine because of the other devices in my house. Internet access will work fine for a few minutes then I get:

* Connection timeouts.
* Keep being told 'Network Settings have Changed' and told to re-enter WEP password. This doesn't seem to help.
* The Airport seems to take an unusually long time to scan for networks.

Can anybody help diagnose this problem? Does it sound like a hardware or software failure?

The Macbook is 3 years old, running OSX 10.5.8.
Thanks!
