[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1628826, member: 46727"] What you're experiencing is a problem with range extenders when trying to amplify a weak signal. The reason your Android tablet or phone doesn't drop the signal is because it's probably designed to operate with a weaker signal and signal ups and downs. Your Mac Pro and MacBook Pro are more sensitive to signal fluctuations. That might be why they're dropping the signal. Have you tried re-locating the Macs to see if that made a difference? Also, it's possible your Macs may be getting signal interference from somewhere such as a remote telephone. Since you're bootstrapping off your landlord's WiFi, you have no control over signal channel, encryption, and DNS. The real answer to your problem is to obtain your own connection and router.
