My laptop has been having trouble conecting to the internet. It will connect for a while and then it will disconnect even though the wireless router has a connection.
Any ideas why my mac wont stay connected to the internet?
thanks
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

Please detail ALL you have done so far in the way of troubleshooting? Need this info to avoid the been there done that scenarios.
i havent done any troubleshooting i dont know how to do this
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.
