Not sure whether this should go in this forum but anyway. I have just moved into a new student house and they already have wireless internet set up. I am using an Airport Extreme card on my Powermac. The problem is the connection to the internet keeps coming and going, it will work fine for like 10 mins then go and I have to turn Airport off and on again.
There is a WPA PSK encryption set up with a shared pass key. Also they have set up the DHCP client thing where by each person is given a specific IP address.
When I first got here I could not connect but after turning WPA off it worked fine but for everyone else (all windows users) it was on and off. I then put the WPA back on and added myself to the DHCP client list and I could then connect but I now have the problem with the connection to the internet coming and going. My signal is fine pretty much full all the time.
So you guys got any idea whats going on? Is it my Mac not liking the WPA encryption? Any help would be great.
Thanks!
