    Please detail ALL you have done so far in the way of troubleshooting?   Need this info to avoid the been there done that scenarios.

     

    For the record, I've never had a wifi problem under any OS.

    So,

     

    By example,

     

    When I have a Skype, I'm talking with the video (indeed ... ^^) and then I'm disconnected, and nearly in the same time reconnected... So I expect that my connection is unstable...

     

    And the second thing :

     

    Exactly append when : I close the laptop (so the mac is now sleeping, and the airport is normaly disconnected), and when I reopen it, I've a "!" on the wifi icon in the top-right corner. Some times it works normaly, some times it do that and I must try to set off the wifi and set on, or do a "diagnostique réseau" (I don't know the english meaning of this) and it work again...

     

    I did'nt find yet something to do to fix it and so I've request a call from Apple...

     

    It's amazing, this kind of things never happend with Steve Jobs (but apparently well with Tim...)

     

    Thank you all for your answers

    Tried any of the following?

    Post in Skype forums regarding your problem with them?

     

    =====================

     

    Try the basics first:

       Change your router channel number.  Most times this works & is all you have to do.

     

    Disconnect & reconnect your modem.  unplug it for about 10 seconds.  Plug it back in.  Do the same for Apple’s routers.  Wait for everything to reboot.

     

    System Preferences>Network

    Click the Assist Me button.

    In the next window that pops up, click the Diagnostic button & do the necessary.

     

    Research Knowledge Base for network problems that pertain to the OS that is currently installed on your computer.   See these basic networking KB Articles:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1401 AirPort troubleshooting guide

    Also, run the Airport Utility app which is located inside the Utilities folder.
