hi nameless798, just wanna inform you that at least for me, the constant pinging doesnt work to stabilise the same issue that i have with my mbp and unifi router. i get timeout messages when the connection quality drops, so this pinging is a good indication of the quality of the signal but unfortunately doesn't seem to improve on it.

i have done researches online the whole of today, since this morning in fact, which is when my router started acting up after having used it for a month with my new mbp.

think i'll just take the easy way out of going lowyat for the tplink router instead.
