lion wifi issues

After downloading Lion my mac has been unable to stay connected to my wifi for more than 3 minutes. I have already tried reseting the router and deleting the wifi info on the AirPort connection... I never had any issues until I updated to lion. Please help.

Some suggestions here for trying to resolve it.

Wifi problems seem to crop up a lot on here and unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a 'one fix' solution.

However, sometimes any one of the following can help although, unfortunately, not always - in no particular order:

Check wifi security - if it's WEP change it to WPA or WPA2 (preferably, as it's more secure)
Change the wifi channel on the router
Create a new Network Location: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5289
Reboot the router

Also take a look at this link and the links within the article for other ideas.
