I have to agree I got a Macbook and Time Capsule and mine work flawless. Before I had the Time Capsule I had the Linksys Wrt54g and switch to a Dlink WGN655 if think and still had no problems I think its definitely your computer.

what OS are you running? If your running anything below 10.5.3, download the combo update, install it, repair disk permissions and see if that helps. I think it was an issue with the 10.5.2 update.

I have a macbook pro also...I had problems as well...What i was told the problem might be is the access point to were ever you are getting on the internet at..also the prob may be you internal wireless card...3. or you just may need to upgrade...i no longer have those problems. It was the access point...Just restart your computer everytime it happens and hopefully your comp locks back on to it..

for some reason, the combo update fixes everything.

^ there's the link to download it.

what you should do though, is return it and wait. newer macs are most definitely coming out next week when wwdc (worldwide developers conference) goes on (the same place where the 3G iphone will be shown), so most likely an update to the computers will come along too. then the one you have now would be, you know, out-dated.
next week monday btw.
