Okay, i am very new to macs. I just recently got a new MacBook laptop and i have come upon a HUGE problem. I cant hold a wireless connection for more then 5 mins! I can connect to the wireless, for 5mins or less. Then boom my connection goes good bye! I have DSL and Linksys for wireless anyone know why it wont keep the connection?

If you need more info please tell me how to find that info lol as i am very new to these problems. Please HELP!!!

To be clear here, does your AirPort gadget (in the top menu bar) say you've lost your wireless connection (it goes all gray), or do you lose the ability to connect to the Internet. Two very different situations cause these different issues.

Also, whose DSL are you running (AT&T?), and how long has this problem been happening? Did it work for you for a while and then suddenly change? Did you change any hardware, like get a new modem or replace your router? Which Linksys router do you have? (The router's hardware and firmware versions would be helpful too.)

Welcome to our forums! I hope we'll make you happy you stopped by!

does the same thing happen if you physically plug the computer into the internet?
