I'm having some issues with the wireless on my Macbook. I have Verizon Fios internet and just recently got a new wireless router. When my computer wakes from sleep or is first turned on, I can get on IM and use Dashboard right away, but I can't load pages. It will try and load the page for several minutes than give me a message to check if I'm connected to the internet. It happens in Firefox and Safari. Then, if I try and connect to my neighbor's unsecured network, I can load pages fine (even though I'll have a full strength signal from my network and only a half strength from their's). When I try and connect back to my network, it works fine then. Same thing happens if I turn off wireless then turn it back on- works fine after that. It will continue to work fine until I wake my computer from sleep again. Rather irritating, but not exactly "broken." Moving closer to my router also doesn't help. Any ideas?
