Airport issues- MacBook Intel 10.4

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?

A trip to Audley End

Audley End House and Gardens

King Henry VIII gave Walden Abbey to Sir Thomas Audley, who transformed it into his mansion, Audley End.
Audley End remains one of England’s grandest country homes with over 30 lavishly decorated rooms to enjoy and explore.
The sumptuous interior is largely due to the third Baron Braybrooke who inherited Audley End in 1825, filling it with treasures including paintings by Masters such as Holbein and Canaletto.
Imagine yourself back in Victorian times when visiting this place.

Only 14 miles from Cambridge, UK

Apple Service Centre, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia- VR Technology S/B

Had some problems with my Mac recently and a friend of mine suggested that I go straight to the authorised service provider rather than to the dealers to save time.

VR technology is located in Jalan Yap Kwan Seng (beside Am Bank Plaza)

They are the authorised service provider and gives prompt and professional service for anything concerning Mac products.

I left my Macbook on 29th October 2008 (11am) and was ready for collection on 31st October 2008 (11am) i.e. 48 hours.

This is what I call good service.
