Hm dunno. It's the 802.11n I've been having problems with. The old AE I have, has worked flawlessly.
Got a tip for us?

My question about Network Diagnostics still seem relevant. To this I would add the question whether you've tried a hard-wired connection.
I have. Same problem.
And I don't even feel like explaining the details of this problem because they don't make any sense.
When I check my email using the Gmail application on my cellphone, my MBP suddenly downloads my email, and drops the connection again
Well that is weird, but at least we can rule out Airport. Can you try this Mac on another router? Also, have you tried rebooting your router?
The other way to check if your router is implicated is by directly connecting your Mac to the modem, assuming you have that access.

It works fine on any other network.
But I don't see how it can be my network either, because I have a Mac Mini running windows and a couple of Macs running Tiger on my network with o problems whatsoever.
I just hope 10.5.3 fixes this...
It this your only Mac running Leopard? Either way the fact that this Mac works on another router is an important clue. Did you try rebooting the router? If that doesn't work, I'd try creating a new location in Network Preferences.
