Why my wifi loose connection with audio internet media?
My laptop : macbook Penryn
Intel Core 2 Duo 2,1 Ghz
Every time I use internet with an audio media like deezer, souncloud, youtube or anything else, first there is some small freezing and cutting of the entire system then I hear a click in the speakers and the wifi symbol becomes grey.
I realised that when I suspend and come back to the session it works again.
I have to do it every time and I can't listen anything more than few minutes.
Any help, opinion or advise will be most welcome.
Thank's

The strange thing is the wifi connection works perfectly with the OS 10.6.8. on hard drive disk.
So how 10.7.5 (or 10.7.2) can be less steady with the wifi ?
Is this a good question?

Thank you all for your advises.
But I want to know, what happen when I suspend the session and when I come back ?
I mean why the wifi comes back by this way and not when I switch on and off the airport ?
For information I already changed the wifi card, I have 6 GB of RAM and I have and 250GB SSD for the OS 10.7.5.
[ The dual drive trick doesn't works because of the speed difference of buses between the hard drive bus and the optical drive bus.
If anyone have done it and can use the ssd for the system, the disk for personal informations and to point to this last I am intersted... ]
I promiss when I'll get enough money I'll get a new one.

There are a couple of things here that effect your WiFi connection. First I would get the WiFi explorer app and setup my AP so its on a better set of channels if I have multiple ones overlaying on mine. Once done I would go into the WiFi settings and delete all of the connections under the advance option (with the Airport turned off). Then I would enable the AirPort via the menu and select the correct connection. It may take a moment as the broadcast needs to be seen. With that now entered in the settings you should be fine now. You should also enable 'Ask to Join New Networks' that way you can discriminate who's you join.
Lastly, If you are watching a video and turn the WiFi connection off, it is likely the session to the server will be expired so you'll need to reload the page. Some video feeds are self repairing as an example playing a vid in iTunes. While others are not as forgiving.

As you replaced the AirPort card you may have put in one that is not supported by the OS fully. Can you tell us more about it here.
Your comment on using a dual drive setup is true these older systems use a PATA optical drive which is slower than SATA I speeds. I wouldn't waste the effort. Instead I would get a FireWire external drive and use it. USB is also very slow in this series.
You also have an issue with using a SSD drive in this older system which depending on the SSD you got could be an issue as Lion does not support natively TRIM services. You'll need a third party add on to get TRIM working. Some SSD's have their own cleanup services which takes care of the SSD behind the scenes here so you may not need it.

Did you apply all of the updates for it? Using a wired connection see if your up to date going to the App Store.
