Lord Love A Duck!!?!? Airport Issue?

[spmcleod]

Hey guys,

So yet another compatibility issue with wireless connections. Setup is a MacBook Pro with airport, a PC hardwired to a Wireless D-Link router... now I just started at this place but they have said the internet was working fine before. It started messing up (confirmed by service provider) the day our new mac pro tower came in with a firmtek 5 drive hdd enclosure which runs via eSATA on the MacBook. Anyway the Mac Pro was never attempted to be hooked up to the net, Yet we keep having drop outs super frequently. Is it possibly the router just started effin up? Any ideas whats going on?

I have read about this problem over at this Apple Discussions thread:

I too found that dropping back to g restored my connection, however, after reading some of the other posts I tried a fix that gets N working again. Go into the settings for the router. Choose the "Advanced" tab at the top and then the "Advanced Wireless" at the left. Change the RTS Threshold to 2306 and the Fragmentation Threshold to 2306. Go to the "Setup" tab and then choose "Wireless Settings" at the left. Change back to "Mixed 802.11n, 802.11g, and 802.11b". Then choose "Save Settings". The router will reboot.
After performing this my Macbook connected again. This is with a D-Link Dir625 router.

This might help.
