hi all

I am having trouble with my airport on 17 inch macbook as it continually gets "frozen" every 10-15 minutes with full signal. I have to turn off airport then turn it back on for it to work again. I notice that if i stay on a webpage long enough it stops working.

I know it is not my router as i have tested out the connection with other laptops and all work fine.

would this be a hardware problem or software as a lot of my courses are online and when the airport stops working it affects my mark... in this case I just took a online quiz and it froze half way in between as which I was praying it would not but it did and cannot retake the quiz. No exceptions are the rules from the university.

Any help? it froze again as I tried to submit this post. I have searched the help forums and the recommended solution is to just buy an usb wireless adapter for it but I would find this inconvenient when I bring it out of the house.
