It's probably not pertinent, but what OS are you running? When I was running Lion on my iMac it would connect to WiFi at startup and then at any random point - 2 hours, 10 minutes, 20 minutes - I'd go to send an email or click a link on a page I'd been browsing and the connection had gone. It happened so frequently, most annoyingly at some vital point in a game of Diablo III where I was being attacked by some horde of vile monsters! The only way to get it back was to reboot so I reverted back to wired. My WiFi icon showed no signal though, unlike yours, as far as I recall ...
After installing Mountain Lion, and changing nothing else, the WiFi now stays connected 24/7. Marvellous.
