I know that people at the Apple discussion site have problems with this, but has anyone else have this problem? It hasn't happened until last week. The second I put the PB to sleep, it loses the connection. I have to reboot the PB and restart the wireless router just to get a connection going again. Does anyone have any recommendations to fix this? It's such a pain having to do this everything I turn on the computer. Also, many have noted that only PBs with 1gb RAM or more have this issue. I only have 768mb and it's doing it.

Help! Thanks!

i haven't used Aiport extreme, but on one of the pc laptops in the house that has built in 802.11g (extreme speed), it drops the connection every once in a while with my linksys 802.11b router. switching the laptop to only use the 'b' setting fixed it.

don't know if you can do it, but try forcing the ae card to only use 'b' speeds.
