ML Wi-fi Problem

[jan08]

I've done a lot of Googling and searching here but I still can't sort this very annoying problem since upgrading to ML:
I have a 27 Inch iMac Late 2009 Model
I have slow internet speed, so in order to download files I have to leave them downloading overnight.
However, when my Mac goes into sleep mode the wi-fi is dropping. When I wake it up from sleep, there is no connection and obviously my files haven't downloaded.

I've reset SMC, PRAM, and also set up a new location all from tips around the net but still can't get this sorted.

I've been a convert since Tiger, and this is the first problem I've ever really had but its very frustrating

It's the way ML handles sleep. Check this thread for more of an explanation and a few suggestions on how to handle it. It is a pain, though.

Basically, you need to force the machine to never go to sleep. You should be able to use Caffeine or a program like it to force it to stay awake, then maybe set up a hot corner in your system preferences for the times when you DO want it to sleep.
