Hey there.. I have a relatively new (3 mths) macbook pro, and seem to
be having wireless connectivity issues with my Dlink router, the DIR-625.
The Macbook connects beautifully to all other wireless networks, every other computer in the house connects fine with the router, and if I use the ethernet cable, the connection is lightning quick.
I've reset the router, both by the button and by accessing it online, and it still drops out. It will connect, but only for about ten seconds before it drops. Occassionally I can close and then re-open airport, but that only fixes it for a moment. Any advice?
Thanks,
Carla "[email protected]"
This sounds like an Intermittent Wireless connection problem. This is caused by cordless phones with 2.4GHz frequency. What you can do is change the Wireless Channel of your router to a different frequency/channel like channel 11, 1 or 9. Also you can try to relocate the base of your cordless phone away from the router or to a different room. In addition, you can try positioning the router to higher places like on top of cabinet or mount it on the wall..

hi kakee,
thanks much for your quick reply! as it turns out, i got a great hint from the mac discussion board that fixed the problem and that i will share in case anyone else stumbles upon this conversation!!
i went in to the router online, changed two numbers, and it seems to be working perfectly!!! it took me awhile to find the page, but after that it was a snap. i've pasted the exact instructions below.
also, as it turns out, there does seem to be an issue with the latest edition of leopard and the d-link DIR 625, but it's fixable with this solution. again, thanks, and have a great sunday, carla

Go into the settings for the router. Choose the "Advanced" tab at the
top and then the "Advanced Wireless" at the left. Change the RTS
Threshold to 2306 and the Fragmentation Threshold to 2306. Go to the
"Setup" tab and then choose "Wireless Settings" at the left. Change
back to "Mixed 802.11n, 802.11g, and 802.11b". Then choose "Save
Settings". The router will reboot.
After performing this my Macbook connected again. This is with a D-Link Dir625 router.
