My iMac intel core duo Wirless card keeps disconnecting maybe every 15minutes. its get VERY annoying. I have all the latest updates and I use a WEP network. I heard switching over to a WPA is better but shouldnt be necessary.



What it does is itll act like it lost the network when I click on the card it still shows my network and I have to manually reconnect.

    I had this problem with that same router. I would recommend trying another one if you can before you buy anything just to make sure it's the router.

    I was having problems, but I switched to WPA and then gave myself a fixed IP, rather than the DHCP and it works great now. For some reason the DHCP wireless gave my iMac fits.
