Constantly dropping Wi-Fi connection

I know similar issues have been posted in the forums--I've tried out many of the suggestions and still can't seem to find a solution. My Macbook Pro constantly loses connection to the wi-fi network. All other devices are connecting fine (an iPhone, an Android phone, an Android Tablet, iPad and Windows PC).


I've already tried setting my router to a different channel, set authentication to WPA/WPA2 and had a hardware test done at the Apple Store (passed everything). Before attempting a reformat+reinstall as a last attempt, I was wondering if anyone might have any suggestions.


Here's the log around the time of a typical drop (drop happened at 9:15:59):
