I couldn't find any related threads using search. My wife's 20" 2006 iMac keeps losing its wireless connection seemingly randomly. The wireless drop-down will say it's scanning, but I have to manually add my access point to get reconnected. I'm using WAP2 personal AES. I have all the latest updates installed except for the iTunes that just appeared. I don't recall having this problem before 10.5.2. Anyone else experiencing similar issues? Thanks.
Got a tip for us?

Unless your router supports wireless-n it won't make any difference. Which one do you have by the way?
Make sure you are broadcasting your SSID. Sometimes that causes problems if you hide the SSID and it's kind of pointless.
Shut down all of your computers and turn off the router/modem. Make sure your router has the latest firmware.
First, turn on the modem and let it go through its stuff. Then turn on the router and let it start up. Next, turn on your iMac and let it open. Make sure the internet works. Next, go through each computer one by one. You never know, sometimes there can be some IP issues.
