I have a Draytek Vigor 2800G wireless router and a new MacBook (Penryn model). However, I am struggling to get connected wirelessly.
In the airport software (icon at top of screen), my MacBook sees the SSID and allows me to type in my WPA key. It then connects and allows me to connect to the internet for 5 seconds. The connection then times out.
After timing out, Safari prompts me to click a Network Diagnostics button which then gives me a wizard to troubleshoot the connection. I reenter my WPA key and run through the wizard and the connection comes back alive and works indefinately.
When I close my MacBook and restart the next day, I have to follow the same procedure again.
This surely cannot be normal behavior? My IBM Thinkpad running Windows XP is having no issues - i just open the lid and it auto connects to my wireless network.
I am new to Mac's so any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks.
