Airport Connection Dropping Off

Has anyone else had trouble with their Airport connection dropping off all of the sudden during a long download or transfering files across the network? If this is a common problem...I hope Apple is working on it.

I am getting the same thing. After starting a transfer of file, after awhile, it will state the wireless network has been change or comprimised (excuse my spelling) and the airport will be disable and enable in a minute. Then the finder stops responding, I cannot force quit out it and must restart the computer.

Well, I just tried something after I heard that airports may having troubles with TKIP under WPA. I changed it to AES and I was able to get 1.12 GB file to transfer without the previous problem.
