hey everyone.
got imac in end of february , it's been working flawlessly.
month ago though, connection started randomly dropping after periods of moderate internet-use. maybe, 20-30mins of browsing.
starts working fine after shut computer off while , try again.
thought maybe ethernet cable, got one, same result. got me thinking, maybe isp. called verizon , said looked on end , ip showing fine. reset connection, no result. gentleman on phone suggested maybe computer.
took dell laptop , tried surfing using built-in wifi while. 2 hours later...working fine. tried pluging ethernet cable laptop, worked fine again.
i'm thinking has computer. switched built-in airport wifi on imac on , tried out. 2 1/2 hours later...everything works great. hell!?
i'm thinking, since happened, problem must've been triggered sort of update did(which don't remember if did).
searched apple support forums , turns out, several people have had same/similar problem macs no solution.
don't feel calling apple because want me schedule appointment , have me bring in. imac replacing older g5 powermac cost me $5k 5 years ago. had nothing issues(the usualy ones has them) , have lugged on apple store dozen times. started show scuffs , scratches on case aquired during transport.
last thing want have bring computer on there.
can me out this? has else had issue before?
specs follows:
27in imac
2.8ghz quad-core i7
10.6.3 snow leopard
4gb ram

etc.
