Airport cuts out
I have a MacBook using OS X 10.6.8 and every 10 seconds, AirPort cuts out momentarily. I now cannot use my iPhone at home as my mobile signal booster won't work. Help!

It is very possible that you may have some form of Wi-Fi interference that appears during these hours that is preventing your AirPort base station from providing a clean RF signal.
I suggest you perform a simple site survey, using utilities like iStumbler, or AirRadar to determine potential areas of interference, and then, try to either eliminate or significantly reduce them where possible.
Thanks. But my old Macbook still retains its Airport connection. As this one flashes 'Looking for Networks' every 10 seconds, I can't download AirRadar!
Ok, try the following on your MacBook:
1a. Delete Preferred Network(s)
1b. Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
1c. Add Preferred Network(s)
2. Move System Configuration Files
(Note: You will have to reestablish your network connections settings.)
