AirPort Extreme connection errors plaguing users
Dozens of readers are continuing to report AirPort Extreme connection issues in Apple's discussion forums--high CPU load or high traffic or as one reader notes large amounts of memory: "There is a problem with Airport extreme on new PowerBooks with more than 1GB of RAM installed. the airport will lose its connection to the basestation and won't work again until the machine is rebooted. it happens regardless of basestation (Apple, Linksys, Cisco) and with known-to-be-good AirPort Extreme cards."

It happens on my dual PowerMac G4 (FW800) too.
Log out, restart the router, reboot. Sometimes each works, sometimes not. I try them all. I've even reset the router to factory settings a few times in hope of solving the mystery. Or I've just given up and pulled out an ethernet cable. My girlfriend, who's a recent switcher, is NOT amused by the fact that her new iBook STOPPED working seamlessly..
I'm able to connect to various neighbors' wireless routers... I can see 4 to 8 connections depending on time of day!
It's maddening!
