I upgraded my MacBook Pro to Lion on Wednesday. This weekend I've started to notice my wifi connection completely dropping with an exclamation mark in the wifi fan. Switching wifi on and off doesn't seem to help. I was able to reconnect by switching to my 2.4GHz wifi network, rebooting the AirportExpress which is extending my 5GHz wifi network and reconnecting to the 5GHz network. I have been using the Airport Express to extend the network for 8 months now with no issues until this weekend.
I have reset PRAM and SMC on the MacBook Pro and I'm now considering doing a clean Lion install just to eliminate that possibility.
Question about
Anyone having wifi issues?
Noticed the same here ;-( Strangely also after 'scanning for networks' it shows duplicates of my own home network? A bug methinks...

I've reinstalled Lion this morning and am having the same issue. Having done some Googling there are lots of mentions about issues like this so I guess I'll have to wait to 10.7.1.

Ditto here. I'd made a copy w/ SuperDuper so I ended up doing a clean install and just copying over my must-have apps and their respective entries from ~/Library/Preferences and ~/Library/Application Support
This got me most licenses and setting within the apps.
