Hello, 1st ever post.

Bought a Macbook 2.4 in white

yesterday while at home the macbook kept dropping in wifi connection.

Starting thinking "oh ho, might have to take this back"

Then I read this.

I just recieved mine today and i had that problem as well where it would just drop my home connection.....I turned off the laptop and i went to my desktop that has the router....Then I went to my linksys ip address in safari and i just reset my password...Have been using it for several hours now and it has been working just fine..

What version of software are you on 10.5.2 10.5.3?

If you're not on 10.5.3 update (maybe connect be cable to the router temporarily) and see if that improves things.

Me too....hateful isn't...all this work nonsense getting the way of serious mac work

It's always hit and miss diagnosing a wi-fi connection remotely so these are just hit and hope ideas:
- change your wi-fi channel
- change the security type (maybe disable encryption temporarily to see if the connection reliability improves)
- update the router firmware
