Have you looked into the router or checked to make sure there isnt something causing interference?

For example, if you have a 2.4ghz cordless telephone near the router that couldcause problems

The warranty is supposed to be for a year, and I think that counts for Amazon purchases too.

If you want help for figuring out if there's a simple problem with the AirPort card, stop by the Networking forum-a flakey AirPort card in an G4 iBook is a common problem and usually caused by a loose antenna cable, which can be fixed in very short order, even by people like me who are coordination challenged.
