For some reason, my mother's MacBook Pro doesn't automatically connect to our home's wireless network. It's encrypted with WPA2. My MBP and my sister's MacBook stay connected fine. My mother's, however, requires her to click on the AirPort icon at the top and select our network each time she wakes it or boots it up. This only started happening when I put WPA2 on the network. How do I fix this?
Got a tip for us?

My Macbook is doing exactly the same thing. Any WPA2 protected network, it won't auto-connect to it on wake (or boot up).
It connects for about 3-5 seconds, and then drops the connection and pops up the window saying "none of your preferred networks are available"... and there's my network in the list to click and connect to with no problems.
Any other advice from anyone would be appreciated... I've had this issue for about 4 months now and even Apple Geniuses can't solve it!!
