Hi everyone,
This is my third problem with the MacBook Pro, and it is my first Mac. For a few weeks, I've been able to use the wireless on my MBP. Now, however, my home network (let's say it's called HomeWifi) won't show up on the list of available wireless networks all the time.
When it does, I can click it, menu bar freezes up, and it opens the wireless encryption dialog to enter the password. I enter it, hit enter, the spinny thing goes for 10 seconds, and then it says Connection timeout. I try this about ten more times and then it finally connects. Works perfectly, 5 bars. However, sometimes it doesn't connect, no matter how many times I try to get it to connect.
Yes, I can see other networks. No, it's not just my router. My iPod can connect to the network instantly with no problem.
It works until I put the computer to sleep, and when it returns from sleep, I have to go through that cycle again.
Is there any way I can get this resolved without sending it out for repair? This is my main computer and I have to do work on it.
I'm seriously considering switching back to Windows. It had less random errors and problems than this. Don't get to fired up over this.
