MacBook Losing Wifi After Wakeup

Jony Mac · Jul 22, 2011, 06:49 PM

I noticed with Lion, if I put my MacBook to sleep (close the lid) and re open it, the wireless gets dropped. In SL it would automatically join back to the wifi.

The only way I can fix this in Lion is to goto the Wireless icon in the task tray and manually select my hot spot.

anyone else have this problem, and know of a fix

Mine does the exact same thing on my 27" iMac. If my computer goes to sleep and wakes up it won't be connected to my router. I have to reselect it. This didn't happen in Snow Leopard to me at all, so it's a Lion bug... Just like the many others, I think I may go back to SL tonight.
