If this question has already been answered elsewhere, please let me know. I don't believe it has though, as I've searched this site and the entire net looking for a solution. I recently bought a MacBook (first Mac, loving it), but the wireless connection is really funky. For any network that I connect to, I get amazing connection and speeds immediately, but after 2-3 minutes of using it, I can no longer connect to the internet. During this time, the wifi signal will remain strong, and under network preferences it still says I'm connected to the network with an ip address. After 2-3 minutes, it will return to normal and work amazing. If I turn the airport off and turn it back on, it will also return to working normally. When it does dropout, if I click on the airport signal icon, usually it looses signal from all other networks in my area, but the one I'm "connected" to is still there. It also says Airport: Scanning for about 5 seconds then refreshes the list with only the one I'm connected to there. After a couple minutes of this, all the signals from the other networks will return and my internet will work normally. If it makes any difference I'm using a Netgear cg814gcmr router, but I don't think it's a problem with the router. It happens with every single network I've connected to.
Thanks for your help,
