My dad bought this laptop, an acer with windows vista.. I have macbook pro and we have a airport extreme as router..
now, i am constantly on the net, that acer crap is connecting/disconnecting , then it can't connect, then it can.. my dad is really making me nervous.
anyone know what the fuck is going on??

i had the same problem. my tenant is on a pc and kept getting booted off. you need change something in your airport settings, can't remember. but i think its a security thing

i remember it generating a unique key which both my mac and his pc had to use

hope you don't have a "no, daddy, nooooo" moment

maybe your router is too "extreme" for his puny acer

Make sure both use the same wireless networking protocol, 802.11g 802.11b etc etc. Check the laptops wireless card make sure it works with airport and is good with the newer tech.
