Just walked the MBP to the garden office and iStumbler now sees the more distant DIR655 signal although it will not connect to it (does not show under Sys Prefs > Net>Network names) even after airport off & on. Anyway signals all show low interference and high throughput except for this failure to connect. I do not think there are any channel overlaps and we also have RFquiet DECT phones (Orchid) that are silent until lifted or called.

So I suspect lease timing/locking issue but unsure how to check up, plus why iStumbler seems to say the network is not visible at all when I sit on the iPad right next to it just fine. If I use the DIR655 admin web and release the lease the MBP has then wake it all worked OK. The DIR655 (hardware rev A3) is on the original EU firmware 1.10, I'm cautious about jumping to latest 1.31EU since no downgrade seems to be possible and that feels a bit risky as so much is set up and working fine. I must admit the winter sometimes seems to loose connect too, but less so. He just resets router and it all works but this does not please me! no ping no en0 or en1 device seems to exist.
IStumbler can see 1 neighbours hub and my garden hub are there but can't get to the normal DIR655 wifi. the MBP however frequently wakes and fails to find the internet.
Router signal is fine since iPad, Wintel on same table 20 feet from router are fine. This is my son's MBP 7,1 running Snow Leopard 10.6.7.
