I am having problems with my Macbook Pro dropping my WiFi connection when viewing YouTube videos, but don't seem to effect other video sources, I am not having the the same issue with my iPad 4 using the same router & location. Does anyone have a possible cause and solution for this issue?
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3)
Howdy Old Rusty Bucket,
Here are a few things that I feel may help resolve the issue you are experiencing.
First if your OS version showing in your post is accurate, then update to 10.7.5 with software update.
OS X: Updating OS X and Mac App Store apps

Then I recommend resetting Safari:

Resetting the PRAM:
