Hi there
I am running a Powerbook G4 12" 1.5GHZ with 1.25GB Ram and a 100GB Hard Drive.
I am connected to a wireless network at home and a larger wireless network at university.
However, every 5 minutes or so, my laptop drops the connection to the network. I went as far as to buy another Airport Express base station and literally placed it *next* to the laptop when at home, and yet it still drops the connection. The strange thing is, not only does it drop the connection, but it can't find the network in the airport menu in my title bar. I literally have to turn airport off, then on again, and then it reappears.
This never happened until about a month ago when I needed to get my original aiport express replaced. I have read that the new macbook pro machines seem to suffer the same fate but I'm not convinced that this is related as everything was working fine until now.
I have also selected "Join preferred networks" in the network preferences.
Can someone please help?
