Macbook AirPort keeps dropping connection

stringy

i have my new mac book and have been online on and off all day, on and off because i keep losing connection. i updated to OS 10.5.4 as advised, however i suspect the problem is my router, d-link rangebooster n650.

can someone detail what i need to do? do i connect the router to the macbook to updates its software? do i toggle with connection settings on the macbook?

many thanks in advance,

First thing is to do basic diagnosis - are you sure it is your wireless that is dropping and not your basic internet connection? If you are on dsl it might the upgrades that are causing the problem and not the wireless.

Have you tried connecting by ethernet to see what the stability of the connection is like?

my connection is fine, works perfect on my old dell laptop and on flatmates

was reading online that it's a common enough problem

need to update the firmware on my router i think....

any other suggestions?

Have moved the thread here in the hope that you might get more specific 'Mac' advice.

Have you checked to see if there is new firmware for the dlink?

updated firmware and followed router tech supports advice,

hey presto, done and dusted, working
