Playstation3 WiFi problem

Has anyone experienced dropping of your wireless internet connection with
your PS3's? Mine drops the connection about every 15 or 20 seconds, then
in about 5 more seconds it reconnects, repeating this over and over again.
I thought at first it was a weak signal since I was only running about 35 or
40% signal strength on the meter, so I went down and bought a wireless
repeater (signal booster) and located it close by the PS3. I'm now running
at 95 to 100% signal strength, but the dropping connection problem persists
exactly the same as before.

I'm hoping I don't have a defective console, since there is virtually no way
to return it for exchange due to the short supplies.

I've tried a hard reboot, no avail. Couldn't be a DNS or IP address
configuration problem I don't think, since I can connect to the internet for
brief periods.

Suggestions anyone? Help!
