My MacBook drops connection regularly!

Published on 2006-09-28 by Mark VandeWettering

The one problem that I have been having with my new Macbook is with its network. I have a Linksys WRT54GS router with the DD-WRT firmware loaded on it, and when I am running on battery power, during periods where network access lulls the wireless from my Macbook disconnects. I havenโ€™t really confirmed that itโ€™s a power management issue, but it sure feels like it, and the thread on apple.com below seems to indicate that itโ€™s likely. It might also have something to do with WEP, although some people seem to be having issues whether they are running WEP or not.

If I get this figured out, Iโ€™ll try to post a followup.
