so this is a problem only for my MacBook. My iPhone and iPad don't do this. Anyways whenever I'm away from my MacBook for awhile and it goes to the screensaver. I touch the trackpad to wake up my MacBook and it has kicked me off my wifi and so I have the manually go to the wifi icon up top and select my specific one. It also does this when i restart.

Is there a way for it to act like my iPhone and iPad and stay connected to wifi no matter what? Does the fact That my MacBook is ancient (late 2008) play into this? Would a newer MacBook not do this?
