My wireless network at home is powered by a Netgear MR314 wireless roter. I am working on a 667 tiBook running OS 10.3.3
Everything has been working smoothly with a strong signal all over my house until I updated the Airport software on my labtop to version 3.3.1.
Now my laptop constantly loses the signal, sometimes even when I'm right next to the router. My roommates laptops (iBook400 and Tibook 1ghz) are working fine on the same network at the same time. Neither of them have installed the airport 3.3.1 update.

Any thoughts??
Is it possible to revert to an older version of the airport software without reinstalling the system software??

Cheers, Joern.

What is your signal strength like right before you lose the connection? Have you tried turning on "Use Interference Robustness"?

Try turning off Ethernet on your tiBook, and checking your router to make sure it offers enough IP addresses under DHCP. Maybe your friend reset your router after upgrading its firmware.
