new mpb wireless problem

Hmmm okay just realised that my wireless problems are probably down to the fact that one of the two Airport Express base-stations is blinking orange and not steady green, whatever that means

Fixed it now, thanks. It was the remote repeater, main one was still working. Had to restart them both a few times and now my MBP seems to be holding the connection And no kernel panics so far either!

Excellent point. A quick way to test these possible ISP issues would be to attempt basic file sharing between machines on the same network, bypassing the internet. If files cannot still be transferred between machines at full speed, then it's definitely not an ISP issue. I'm not trying to shoot down anyone's ideas here, I'm just trying to get all possible avenues checked.

Well I did transfer wirelessly through my network about 13GB of music and I experienced not dropouts whatsoever (figured it was transferring at about 15-18 MBps). I think that is what you were saying.

anyways as far as the internet goes I am on cable internet if that really is the problem but I really doubt that considering other notebooks on my network don't have the same problem through wireless. I'm sure it is my router or card. I am the only computer connected through N in my house though which may make a difference if it is the router.

Excellent. Thanks for that mate. Well, if I was in your situation I'd probably run for a week doing just basic web browsing and email checking; avoiding any file sharing apps. If I got a week of normal internet connectivity then I'd continue troubleshooting. Otherwise I'd take the machine to Apple to get it checked. I have a feeling it's a router problem, not a problem with your Mac though.
