Frequently my wireless connection will start with 3 or 4 bars of connection strength, then degrade until the connection becomes slow and finally disconnects. Often times, the connection will resume minutes later and begin it’s slow decline again.

Wireless Degrades…

Unfortunately I can’t find a good solution for this right now. It only seems to occur when the distance between my PowerBook and the wireless base station increases to more than about 50 feet. Moving closer to the wireless base station can eliminate the problem entirely, but this is not always an option.

I tested OS X Leopard 10.5.2 update, and it appeared to resolve the issue initially, but not completely. I think that people with MacBooks and MacBook Pros may have a completely different experience that I do with my PowerBook.
