Set a unique IP, something huge like 192.168.1.98, could be another computer trying to nick your IP and getting you kicked off the router.

^ espceially if you have a wifi enabled mobile device they can all be fighting for IP's , a good old power cycle could do the trick , power down all cpu's unplug router and modem

after looking into a few other things, one popular theory on the webz is another router close by broadcasting on the same channel.
I like the idea of manually setting a high IP, I will give that a shot.
I powered cycled my machine, and the router, but not any of the others, I'll have a big shut down party followed by a race to see who boots up the fastest.
- So why don't you try changing the channel on the router?chow

Think there was a software update for something like this but specifically with using Airport a few days ago. Might be work checking into.

I should also add that the other 3 computers in the flat work fine on wireless.

I had this issues a few weeks ago. It actually turned out to be the ISP's line into my house that had low power.
