I was just wondering if anyone else is having the same problem as I am. When I am connected through a Wifi connection on my MBP, most of the time it would drop the connection after 20 minutes or so. The signal bars remain full, but when I try to load a page it will not load, unless I turn the Airport Off then On again on my laptop. This happens whether I am 5 ft away or 50 ft away from my router.

I had this problem when I was on a very popular wireless channel in my area. I changed channels on my router and it stopped.
 
You downloading torrents? That caused it for me... after i switched to leopard... had to switch torrent apps since it kept killing my router for some reason.
