[QUOTE="shfle, post: 759450, member: 42208"] I've just posted this on Apple Discussions as several people seem to be having similar issues and this worked for me:- [I]Airport signal constantly dropping out and web pages taking an age to load? INSTANT SOLUTION (Well it worked instantly for both me and one of my friends with the exact same issues anyway!) Simply add the following to your DNS Servers 4.2.2.1 4.2.2.2 No more constantly dropped airport signal and no more waiting for pages to load. Internet now working as fast or even faster than ever! I'll admit that I had little confidence in this working myself (Found an old article on the web ages ago that suggested this for a similar problem but cannot for the life of me find the article now!) but was completely blown away when it actually worked a treat! For anyone who does not know how to add DNS servers:- Open System Preferences/Network/Airport (In left hand pane)/Advanced (Button at bottom)/DNS (Tab along top)/Click plus sign and type in (Do this for both 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2)/Click OK/Click Apply Hopefully you should now have a solid connection! iMac 20" 2.4Ghz Mac OS X (10.5.5) [/I] [/QUOTE]
