MacBook Pro knocking out internet?

Hello all,

I have a 2009 MacBook Pro and am having an internet issue...

Whenever I'm on my MBP the internet seems to knock out every 15 minutes or so (for usually around 2 or 3 min). I just get the "You are not connected to the Internet" page and have no idea why this is happening. We have AT&T wireless internet and my boyfriend is on a PC (with the internet knocking out on his too). I feel like this is a "Mac issue" because in my old apartment friends would come over with their Macs (when I had a PC) and my internet would just get zapped.

Does ANYONE else have this issue? Macs just zapping out internet?

Any input is greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much for the reply.

It's an AT&T 2WIRE, Model no. 2701HG-B...as I look right now, there are two other 2WIRE networks and we're all password protected/locked. A friend came over the other night with his MacBook Pro and the internet went out as soon as he turned his on...it's just the weirdest thing.

I agree with member DeanP. It sounds very much like a router problem if it's happening to your MacBook Pro and your friend's MacBook Pro. I don't know if your 2 Wire Router is one supplied by AT&T (I suspect it is) and whether or not you've contacted AT&T support about the problem?

We got on the phone with AT&T, changed our 2 Wire setup and it seems to be working (fingers crossed). I can't relay exactly what we did to fix it, as I'm not familiar with all of it, but it seems to be fixed! Thank you very much for the responses.

Your're welcome, Mary. Do let us know if problem arises.
