Hi,
The Airport card in my iBook G4 is loosing connection to my Linksys WRT54G-L router. The Internet Connect application shows no signal strength AND no network selected. I replaced my 1 year old WRT54G with a new one a couple of weeks ago (and upgraded to WPA Personal security). I did what I believe is all the other steps involved in wireless net setup, but I am still having the same problem.
The connection will come back on its own in some time. Turning the Airport OFF then ON again usually restarts the connection. Using Open Internet Connection and re-entering the network password works when OFF/ON doesn't, but it takes so long that it may be back up anyway.
I went to the Apple support page and there are tons of reports of people having very siimilar problems, but no fixes. The gist of the reports indicate a belief that the problem was caused by an Apple software upgrade around October.
There does not seem to be an Apple software update to fix this.
Are you aware of this situation? Do you have any ideas. I was planning to replace my Airport card if the new Linksys didn't fix the problem, but I don't want to waste time and money (like I did replacing the Linksys) if it truly is an Apple software problem.
Thanks - rich
