Im having problems with my internet connection on my mac at random. i can be using the internet at full potential and all of a sudden it wont load. i try to turn air port off and back on to reconnect, and that work work sometimes. sometimes it does? but when internet isn't working on my macbook, i try it on my ipod and it works just fine. any answers? ps. I sit right next to my linksys router so its not a distance problem.
 
Look for the UpNp setting in your router settings (192.168.1.1, pass: admin, are the default settings, if you don't have the Mac software for it) and disable it. Also, if you have one of the older blue linksys routers, look for a firmware update at their homepage for your specific model (model and ver. will be on bottom of router).
