I have a pismo 400 with an airport card (don't remember which rev). I use a Netgear wireless router with cable internet. I also have had some weird dropout problems. Looking at the airport connection bar, the connection would drop out and then reappear repeatedly. It doesn't happen much but when it does, the problem doesn't go away until I change the tcp/ip setup and then change it back. I can't see it being the microwave, or I would have a much more constant problem. I don't have a 2.4 cordless phone. I live in a self-contained house. Weird. Kate
