Wireless Connection to Linksys Router

I have a Mac Book running Leopard (was an upgrade) that will not connect reliably to my Linksys router. It loses connection after a day or two, and it is a big rigamarow to get it connected again.

The only way I have figured to get it to reconnect after a disconnect spell is to delete the WEP password from the KeyChain, and zap the PRAM.

I have an IMac (Leopard too) that works flawlessly, and 2 Dell laptops that don't have any problems either.

Also, I have tried setting a static IP (outside the DHCP scope) but it makes no difference. If it is going to connect, works equally well DHCP or Static... and visa versa.

I have it backed up to time machine, and am contemplating the best way to blow it away and reinstall fresh... (will that even make a difference?)

Suggestions please

What model is the router? Have you updated to the latest Linksys firmware for that router?

The router is a WRT300N with the latest firmware. Running the lowest bit version of WEP for security. (necessary for entertainment system)
