Have been having several issues with my Macbook.
My MacBook is almost 3 years old now and seems to be having some 'health' issues.
1. Airport- Would occasionally fail to detect wifi signals for few seconds before 'turning back on'. This happens almost on a daily basis. It's not really disruptive. Only irritates if downloading something- the download would get disrupted and you need to redownload.
2. 169.X.X.X signal (self assigned IP by the MacOS if it fails to detect IP address which is generally not usable) on IP address instead of the usual 192.X.X.X (It means that the Airport doesn't detect the IP address supposed to be sent by the router).
This happened yesterday.
I have gone through the Apple support section- seems to be a problem with the router (That is what they say. Pushing the blame on the router??)
But could it be a problem with the Airport causing this problem?
My Macbook seems to be playing up......
Anyone got any ideas as to what's happening?

My mac is older than yours la, it is still doing ok...
Buy a pro la
I agree with Koh Wei.
And please buy extended warranty.
Remember my old Dell that wife is using now. It is acting up after 2 years and 9 months. And we did get warranty. Waiting for Dell to come.
Can you disable Auto IP?
Had to manually type in the IP address to render it workable.
Thanks for the solutions but are there any solutions which doesn't cost money? YOu are dealing with a poor man here....
