Setup:
Macbook Pro
13-inch, Early 2011
Processor 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2
Netgear WRT54G2; Hardware Model V1; firmware: 1.0.01
Cablevision internet
It's not the internet--Xbox works fine on the connection (albeit wired).
I've:
-Changed channel on router (it's at 11)
-tried to upgrade router firmware (doesn't work, downloaded and tried twice--the upload to the router times out after 10 minutes and nothing happens)
-reset router to default, and set up again
Console shows nothing remarkable outside of a consistent awacsd error around the time the wifi drops.

The only way to get the connection back is to turn off wi-fi then turn it back on.
I've been searching for a solution for several weeks now, but I've run out of things to try.
Where could I start tracing this error? What else can I do to try and track it down or fix it?
