Wireless signal drops after 30 mins

[fordman10]

My wireless in my Macbook will show a strong signal and work great for 30 mins surfing the web.....but then goes down to 1 bar and will not work unless i put it to sleep for a few minutes....

After turning it back on, the wireless signal is then strong again for a little while until it drops again....

An no, it is not the router.....my windows computer works fine...

Thanks

What version of OS X are you running?

I had a similar problem on my iMac 24" running Leopard. Updating to 10.5.3 solved it.

I've been experiencing similar problems with my MacBook as well.

Although I figured out a quicker way to strengthen the signal turn off airport, and then turn it on again

runnign OS X 10.5.4

My Wife's MacBook has the same issue occasionally, while my MBA will get full signal still. I've tried many configuration changes to both the MacBook and the Airport Extreme.

I think it's her model, she had the original Core Duo 2, the one that shipped with the "g" network card you had to buy the airport extreme to update it's firmware to "n".

My MBP would drop the wifi signal for about 20 secs then come back up. It was a pain b/c it happened a few times a day. Since upgrading to 10.5.4 I haven't had any problems, so it must have been a problem that Apple fixed up.
