Also disabling IPv6 (in System Preferences->Network->Airport and turn of IPv6) might help.
I have had occasional, unexplained loss of communications with my D-Link (Gamer Lounge) router recently, so I'm glad I found your post...I tried to find IPv6 but couldn't...anyhow...I should be upgrading to the Time Capsule router/hard drive in the next five days so hopefully I won't have to worry about these Airport drops anymore...I'll let you all know how it goes with the Time Capsule...if I get inspired I may actually write a review on it...LOL...can't wait to see if 802.11n makes a difference in the speed department...I know I gotta spend $3 to enable 802.11n on my iMac (I have the white iMac not the "You can't be too thin...and too powerful" one) with that software patch thingy...God, that is silly, but whatever... :-)

Thanks for the info, dude!!
