I've got an iMac that won't keep a wifi connection up for more than an hour or so. I'm not alone, if the support forums are any indication.

The $6 usb/wifi dongle from Monoprice stays connected for weeks at a time.

Wifi modules, just like DVD lasers, eventually burn out. Usually it manifests itself in dropped connections after a period of time. I've got an old Linksys WRT54G that can't keep the wifi on for more than 20 minutes.
