I thought I'd post an update to this... I used the Pismo in my
bedroom. When it started giving me grief, I took a G3 iBook instead to
my nightstand, and now the iBook is having the same connectivity
problems. Could it be the network itself that's corrupted, or getting
weak (the router is far away)?
This is the usual issue when the same thing happens on two different
Macs; how many bands does the Airport Menu icon show?
Or perhaps interference? There are
several new wireless networks in the building...
Again, yes.
Go get KisMAC <http://kismac-ng.org/> and see what channels those
other networks are using, you may simply be a victim of duelling
networks, especially if your signal is lower than theirs. Set your
base station to a channel that others aren't using.
Depending on your physical environment there are things that can let
you get better coverage; the more walls and metal between you and your
base station, the lower the signal.
