fingers crossed, but i think we have a winner here...i've gone over 10 minutes without the wifi dropping on my 2011 iMac connected to airport extreme!! =)

Update: yup, hasn't dropped for an entire night...amazing!

As already discussed elsewhere, this solution is to be treated with care. You are changing some system files which may let the OS think that it has been tampered with and/or break compatibility with future updates (leading to kernel paniks, boot issues and whatnot).

I had a look into this risk of this quite extensively over the past few days and it seems quite low. Hence I went ahead to go down this path and I'm really happy I have done so.
The only downside is that if you use Airdrop these ceases to function. But I'm sure that's no biggie.
