So I've checked and double-checked this. When connected via wireless N to my dual-band Time Capsule (2nd gen), after maybe 5-10 minutes of Face Time, the "call" drops, and I get an error that I have no wifi connection! A second later, the wi-fi connects (the 3G symbol switches to a wifi symbol).

I have NO issues running Face Time over just wireless G connected to my Time Capsule.

What's going on here? Has anyone else experienced this?
 
Try turning your phone off or restoring it to factory settings, if that doesn't work I don't know what will.

AEBS (dual band N, 2007/8 model) and no problems with FaceTime. Was on a FT call for about an hour yesterday - no worries.

Were you actually using N 2.4Ghz 72mbit, though, or just b/g/ 54mbit? Can you check your logs when connected to wifi? Thanks.

I have a fairly new Apple Airport Extreme Dual Band N had I had over a 30min FaceTime call today that was absolutely perfect...The FT call was from San Diego to San Francisco area...I'm definitely connected to N...

Good to hear. Not sure what's going on then... :(
 
This is absolutely a legitimate issue and other users are reporting it on the apple.com discussion boards. I have experienced it myself on my Time Capsule (Dual Band). Like clockwork it drops the FT call approximately 5 minutes in, rolls back to 3G network. When attempting to check the WiFi connection, the IP address assigned to the interface is in the Link-Local IP range.

Well....drat.... :(
 
I am experiencing the same issue. Has this been resolved at all? I am wondering if i need to get my iphone replaced or not.
 
I haven't used FaceTime in a while, but I do now just use Wireless G for my iPhone 4 at home, since N is no faster, and has less range. Seems to be behaved better this way. I don't think it's a hardware issue, but who the heck knows?
 
i have a same problem.

I have a same problem, From Oceanside to South Korea,

with Apple airport extream base station.
