MacBook Pro and iMac keep losing wireless internet connection.

I've been experiencing the same issue.

One thing I've noticed is when I lose the wireless internet connection, if I go into network settings and observer the Ip address that is assigned, it was switched from 10.0.x.x to 169.x.x.x. If I do a DHCP renew, I regain my 10.0.x.x address again and the connection function again.

The wireless indicator never changed when I lost the real Ip address.

I do not experience this issue on any Windows computer connected to the same airport extreme.

I have the same issue. I upgraded yesterday and now when the computer sleeps and then wakes up it can't connect. (I have a brand new IMAC) I have 4 other macs in the house and none of them have this problem. If I run network diagnostic and click on my network and the put the password in it will come back online. (only until it sleeps again or the puter is idle)

Apple please fix

Same issue here. Very irritating. Hopefully someone can find a fix soon...

I'm having the same troubles. I ran the new ilife and airport updaters yesterday (the one's that were released in the past 3 or 4 days), and it's been tear's since. For a while I couldn't get an IP address via DHCP at all. Zapping the PRAM seemed to remedy that, and now I just don't get an automatic connection to my wireless network - I have to tell it the network name manually several times before it find's the network. Putting the computer to sleep always results in a lost network. It's a pain in the backside to put it politely. And I think it is definitely a software problem.

My MacBook Pro v. 10.5.7 is having the same problems everyone has described. Airport has all bars, but web pages stop loading and the connection is dropped.

Only way to fix is to turn Airport "off" and then back "on." The other PC laptop that we own has no problems.

sooooooo frustrating!!

Argh! I am having similar issues! My seimens router is hooked up to my airport, which is hooked up to my eMac via ethernet cable. My macbook pro is just not finding my network! I tried my iphone and it isn't seeing the network either. The emac says everything is fine with airport, but nothing can connect. And my laptop is picking up everybody else's network's but mine! I wish there was a way to fix it- it worked fine up until today!

dear all>
as I explained in a different post my Airport Extreme is fine with PC'C but no with Mac.
I have read that you fixed by doing Clean installs. Can you explain what is that?
thanks

Same problem I have.
Please APPLE MAKE SOMETHING NOW!!!

Same problem. Wireless worked fine before, and now 10.5.7 it's losing the router signal every half hour or so at not reflecting this on the airport status bar. Please fix!

I had the same problems until I reverted to Airport firmware 7.3.2. The problem (at least for me) was in the 7.4.1 upgrade.

7.4.1 = Low signal, complete dropout, can't find network, connectivity error, etc, etc...
7.3.2 = No problems at all.

Search for "firmware" or "7.4.1" to see several threads on this issue.

To revert to last (stable) firmware: launch Airport Utility. Under the Base Station menu, choose "Upload firmware" the use the dropdown to pick 7.3.2.

Should get you bak up and working fine.....

i reverted, and aside from one glitch where i lost contact altogether (not during the restart of the device), i've been "up" for more than a day now.

Downgrading the firmware did the trick for me.

This gigantic problem has made me rethink my loyalty to Apple computers. How much lost productivity has went down the drain, simply, because of this infuriating issue?
