I'm having a weird issue here.

I have a Linksys wrt54g router, and a 2.2 ghz SR c2d MBP, and for some reason every now and then my wireless signal keeps dropping! Now, sure, maybe it's interference, or maybe it's the router, but my roommate has a mbp as well (a model one year older than mine) and his NEVER drops. Now on the other hand, I can be anywhere else using wifi (school, apple store ect.) and i NEVER get disconnected, so I don't know why this is happening. I've even tried to change channels and all that stuff; still happens. So basically, I'll loose connection, and I'll notice that the signal bar in the menu bar drops signal, comes back, drops, comes back, ect...

Now, if anybody has any suggestions on whats going on and how to fix it, please let me know!

Also, is the internal airport card built into the motherboard, or is it a separate piece of hardware that I can remove easily?
