Wifi constantly crashing since upgrade

OK this is getting unusable ... every 10 maybe 15 minutes at the most i get the spinning wheel and my whole system freezes for 15 / 20 seconds and then it comes back to life but the wifi is hunting.

This has only happened since upgrading tonight.. Tips anyone ?

Macbook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6)

I'd say it might be worthwhile to have your local Apple servicer take a look at your iMac; it could be a hardware issue of some type.

Sorted, at least for me.

1. Made a dedicated location for "Home" and stopped using the "Automatic" one
2. Changed security from WPK to WEP

I had this too. Changed encryption from WPA to WPA2 and works fine.
