Funny you should bring this up this weekend. Starting sometime Saturday and continuing into Sunday, we experienced a drop-out of sorts at home. For various reasons, we aren't using encryption on the network. We do have an Airport Express to extend the range from one end of the house to the other and the iMac at the remote end generally has 1/2 - 3/4 signal strength. But, I've always had full strength on the laptop in my office. This weekend that dropped to 1/2 or less and the "remote" iMac lost connectivity altogether for about 36 hours. I updated the Airport software and finally managed to get back to work only after recycling power on the base unit. Prior to that, I only had half strength even when I was within 15 feet of the unit. The lone PC user in the house, apparently, didn't experience any issues. Only the Macs. As you say... hmmmmmmm.

Thanks.
One other question. On our closed network at work I keep seeing a
lot of noise on the network. Using iStumbler I see 10dB noise on the
network when we close the network but when we open the network the
noise goes away. Hmmmm...
Any ideas.

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving
safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in
broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly
proclaiming "WOW!! What a Ride!"
