Hey guys,
My airports been acting crazy lately on my macbook pro, every once in a while my internet will lock up, as i start to load a page or change pages it will "freeze" and stop working, if i click the airport logo up in the menu bar it shows "Airport: Scanning...." then "ON". When its working its perfect but every 15 or 20 minutes it will do this. My roommates macbook acts normal and never has this problem. Any ideas/remedies?

How old is your MBP? What is the status of the HDD?
The Airport menu will only show as scanning when you click on it AFAIK.
Also, since for the time being it's about Airport, I'm moving it to Networking.

I am sorry to say this, but airport problems in general is a MAJOR problem on newer MBPs. You can search the Apple forums and see for yourself - here's a good start:

Short answer? No solution..... Sorry to be a poop

It may be a poor quality WIFI router. MBPs can be more sensitive to bad routers than other WIFI client devices. I now recommend linksys.

Bump for the OP, and also for my own sake 
I've got exactly the same probs as klb5090 but on a MacPro (the first version).
It's only started happening in the last few hours, and it always seems to come right when I turn Airport off and back on again. The same true of yours, klb5090?
After a bit of troubleshooting it definitely seems related to the Mac, as:
- I booted off a two-month-old back-up and had the same thing.
- my iPhone works perfectly the whole time (and at WiFi speeds - it's not falling back to Edge.
Anyone else having anything like this?

I've been getting the same thing for months now, the only way to stop it is to reboot. Couldn't isolate which individual process was the airport otherwise I could just kill the process.
I'm using a linksys wrt54g router.
Just thought I'd add my voice.
