Bugging Wifi issues of Lion, remain in Mountain Lion too.

I have another bugging issue.
I had this problem in Lion too, thought it would be fixed if I cleaned install (was lazy to do so), now cleaned install MLion after a year, still the same problem.
If I leave my laptop to sleep mode, then when I wake it up again, it will never connect to my wifi network!
A) I HAVE TO HAVE reboot my router
B) I HAVE to restart my macbook pro.
to fix this and to make it able to connect to my hotspot again. nothing else seems to fix it.
Please help. this is THE most frustating feature of my mac.

WiFi issues with Lion.

I have done all the reboots, resets and switching WiFi on and off but i keep having different wifi components inextricably dropping out?? any ideas? or do we wait for an update?

There are several other threads discussing exactly this problem. Many of us who updated to Lion are also experiencing connectivity issues. Look at the "More Like This" column and check out the others.
But, in any case, so far there is no fix that seems to work without going into the System and, as has been pointed out by someone clearly very far more experienced than I, doing something like that may be disastrous.
Please do notify Apple by making a bug report as many of us have already done.

Mountain lion wifi issue

Ok. This is super frustrating. Its been three generations now since this wifi issue. I have mid 2010 MBP with broadcom drivers. The wifi wont pass traffic with cisco APs. The only fix is disable 11n rates then only it will connect. I had to downgrade the driver to 10.61 etc to fix that issue. Today i upgraded to mountain lion and surprise.... My wifi is pretty much useless... Pings to default gateway are pn an avg 4ms and good minutes of ping losses..
This is just not acceptable. This is stupid and lame and apple nees to fix this pronto..
Geez apple is making billions of revenue and freaking cannot fix a stupid driver issue... I want my money back... And above all give me my time back which i spent to tshoot this problem...

This is on Mountain Lion drivers

Mountain Lion and Lion wifi issues

Don't start on me about there being multiple threads on that subject already. I was told by a very respected member of these forums to start my own thread on the issue.
Dropping wifi started with Lion and for the last 10 months with ML. I've been in touch with Apple, they called me after reading my old post and had me run test for them with no help. I've done completely clean installs on newly reformatted hard drive and using a USB drive to install ML. It won't connect to wifi to finish install half the time so other software isn't the issue.
I've tried just about every fix posted. A lot of them with Apple on the phone. I've replaced my router knowing that wouldn't fix it because I take my Mac with me and it drops wifi on any router or network.
I have 2 Macs and only one has ever had this issue.
You don't have to believe I've tried everything, that I've had Apple call me or that I even have the issue.
I've been asked to post the names of the engineers that have contacted me. Why would you need to know that in order to believe me, especially if you admit to not knowing any.
All I want to know is there a fix? Yes/No
Remember it doesn't want to connect on a clean install.
P.S.:
For all those looking for reason's not to help me, my dog is yawning in the picture not growling. Yes I've gotten mad on other threads but how many times can you be called a liar just because their fixes didn't work for me or I won't post engineers names.

Thanks for that list.
Out of all you posted I tried everything with Apple on the phone.
I'm the only one who uses this Mac and I constantly check my settings incase something was changed on it's own because of some app. But I'll lock it after retrying everything over again.
I'll be glad to get it down to once every few days again. I haven't complaned about it in a long time because I could live with that. That's where I was before it went back to dropping constantly. Lets face it once a day would be great. I've had to reboot just trying to reply.
I've started taking some live on line courses so it's not just an announce to me. It started again before I started classes.
The 10.8.3 update made it worse. But not enough to go back to 10.8.2.
My mail program is affected the worst. When wifi drops and Mail is running I always have to force quit. I know that's an affect no the cause.
I do have another Genius Bar appointment for that and a couple of other issues. The first time they denied there were any wifi issues until I gave them the names of the engineers that called me with their email addresses and phone numbers. I've since lost their phone numbers but still have their email addresses. I know one was a CA area code and the Main one was from TX. I have emailed them this week but still no reply.
Like I said once it went down to dropping every few days I didn't care any more.
I'll keep you up to date.

Fix for Wifi issues in Mountain Lion

I've tried all the solutions on the forums that I could find and none of these fixed my wifi issues. This however did:
- Change the SSID of your wireless network.
I'm pretty sure I had a similar issue with Lion and sorted it by deleting all the preference files like others have said, but it didn't work for me this time. I'm convinced that the common issue is that it's a corrupt or duplicate config.
Anyway, I thought I'd post this to help others.

UPDATE
A week or so ago my wifi suddenly stopped working again on both my Macbook and Mac Mini. Note that my PC, iPad and iPhone continue to work.
I've changed my SSID twice now and this time I was determined to figure out an alternative solution. Again I tried every solution I could find, this time what worked is chagning my router to only broadcast on the 'N' wireless band.
This has fixed it however it's not a great solution as my wireless printer is 'G' only. Until Apple resolve this issue I'm happy to print with a network cable if it means my Macs work.

My wifi is very slow after installing mountain lion on my Mac book pro

My wifi is very very slow after installing mountain lion on my MacBook pro.
What can I do?

Ha ha, I misread that as "My wife is very slow after installing mountain lion on my Mac book pro"
BTW on my MBPro (late 2009 with max RAM) Mountain Lion runs very well with no slowing down.

Lion OSx v10.7.3 WiFi Issues

Hi,
Am facing issue with my Wifi on my iMac which is running on Lion v10.7.3 OSx. The Wifi connection goes off and on, but at the same time, am not facing any WiFi issues with MacBook Pro running on Lion v10.7.3, iPhone and iPad2.
I have came across many posts stating that there is issue with Wifi connectivity with iMac's, but not able to come across any solutions.
Can any seniors in this forum provide the solution.

For some reason Network no longer automatically connects to my WiFi at startup. Now I must select my WiFi network every restart. Maybe result of upgrade to 10.7.3?

WiFi Dropping issue with Lion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just got off phone with support and they informed me it has to be my router causing the issue. Now I just bought the iMac on sunday and its my first Mac. My PC had no problems with the network or the wireless printer, But now I guess my router is bad, Lol. Wonder if anyone else got the problem fixed. New Lion update did not fix my Wifi issue.
Love my new mac! Thats sarcasm
Thank god Apple has 14 day return policy, might need to use that and go buy a HP.

Have to admit I feel your pain. I had an old Netgear that worked great with iPods, MacBooks, in-laws PCs when they visited. Then I upgraded to a new MBP and it wouldn't stay connected. Long story short, I broke down and bought a refurbished dualband Airport Extreme and after a little tweaking it has been running perfectly, including a 5Gz band that is very fast (not any faster on Internet, but home network file transfer is faster). I read volumes of info about this problem and came to the conclusion that either Macs are getting pickier and pickier regarding wireless (innocent answer) or Apple wants us to buy Apple stuff (not so innocent answer). So they got $129 out of me that I felt I shouldn't have had to spend, but it is seamless and works great. And I've also read others who got an Airport Extreme and still had problems. Wireless stuff can be very complex.

MBA wifi issues

Hi, my mba is the 2012 model, running OS X Mountain Lion10.8.4, I have this wifi issues since the previous version of Mountain Lion
The thing is my macbook cannot access to the internet although it is shown to be connected to the wireless router, my other device like ipad and iphone still be able to surf the web just fine while connecting to the wifi, my flatmate who use a PC never got this issue. And when I go to Safari, the web page just simply not loading instead of popping up the notice "you are not connected to the internet" as i turn off my wifi
This can go on for hours until I can access to the internet again, and this can happen many times a day.
I tried rebooting my MBA, and turn off/on my wifi but it wont work, the only thing that usually worked is reboot my router.
My router is Netgear dg834g running firmware v.3.01.38, I'm not sure if this is the problem with my router or my mac
Please help!
P.S: the wireless diagnostics didnt help much.

Has anyone else experienced WiFi issues after installing Mavericks?

I recently installed Mavericks on my 2009 iMac. After the initial install, everything worked beautifully. After my first reboot, however, the network is having trouble staying connected to the wireless network. I verified the modem/roouter were working by testing on my other wifi enable devices (iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, etc).
My question really, if whether or not anyone else has experienced this after installing Mavericks official release and is this a known issue that I cannot seem to locate information on.
It should be noted that I often use a VPN service called Private Internet Access. And thought I havent had issues with this before any reboot, I thought it would be worth mentioning.
Thank to anyone's help in advance.

I've also been having a lot of issues with my wireless after I updated to Mavericks. For me, the problem is manifest whenever I'm using my system in a conference room with a lot of other folks who are also using wireless. The connection is up and down constantly, to the point where it's really not usable. Other folks in the room (who are using Windows systems) don't have the same issues. It's gotten to the point where _they_ are making fun of my me and my Mac (the tables have turned!).
I never had these issues when I was using Mountain Lion. Since it's the same environment and the same hardware (MacBook Pro, 15", Retina), I've started to suspect that Mavericks is the culprit.

Wifi issues with iphone not responding

Phone: iPhone 4s.
This issue started approximately two weeks ago. My phone initially started with the Wifi connection greyed out, I followed the appropriate steps to resolve this issue, and was successful. Now I can turn the wifi connection on without problems, but my iPhone will freeze (delay), then return me to my homescreen. Occasionally I do automatically connect to my known wifi, but then will disconnect and return to 3G. If I make an attempt to go to settings to manually reconnect, the phone again freezes. The phone seems to freeze after I click settings, then when pressing Wi-Fi, the bar turns dark bold, but freezes and doesn't open. I then have to click my home button, return to the main menu. Also if I open an app during the seldom opportunity my phone is connected to wifi, the phone will disconnect, return to 3G and freeze. I have rebooted my routers, forgot networks, reset network settings. I have thought about resetting the entire phone, but my phone will not stay connected to wifi long enough for me to back up my data to iCloud. I am thinking of stopping into my local verizon store, but I think they will redirect me to an apple store; which is 35 miles away. Of course the problem with me not connecting to Wi-Fi is my increased use of data. Now I am over 75% for my monthly usage with 2 weeks remaining, and do not see justification in possibly having to pay the overage fee. Many times when my phone freezes due to these wifi issues, or will not respond, I have to do the manual power/home reset. In conclusion, I need to figure out how to maintain my connection to Wi-fi, and stop my phone from not responding when I open my wifi settings. Thanks in advance!

My Iphone 4S is doing the same thing.. All of a sudden the WIFI button is gray and not working. I chatted online with a Rep. He had me call *228 and hit option 1, then call again and hit option 2. All of a sudden the WIFI button was black. But it could not find any network. I shut it off and restarted it and now button gray again. I called that number again and still gray. I read somewhere else that a lot of people have a problem with the WIFI button. They say it basically just stops working. This was a replacement phone because the volume stopped working on my original phone. I assume they gave me a refurbished one because it didn't seem new. I'm due an upgrade in 3 months. I'm disabled and just hate driving to the store again. I wish there was an easier way.

WiFi issue after 6.1.2 upgrade

I upgraded my OS to 6.1.2 and now I'm having troubles connecting to the internet at work. I did reset my network settings and inputted the appropriate password and still having issues. It identifies the network but when open safari or an app requiring internet connection it goes nowhere. Is anyone else having this issue. Does anyone know how to fix this problem. Keep in mind my connection works fine at home.

Mac mini wifi issues

Had my Ipad mini for about a week. At first, the internet connection over my Airport/time capsule( which I bought a couple months ago, so it should be the newest generation) appeared to be fine although, I noticed that the signal bar was always a single to double bar (if that's how it is called). Now, from time to time it even fails to connect.
I am now in my living room in front of my mac mini set, which is itself connected to the internet over Airport/time capsule. The Airport is about 20 meters (abt 65 ft) away. The Wifi signal of my mac mini shows full capacity. My Ipad mini signal bar...it just says" iPad". While (when) connected I also have issues with iPad's ITune Wi-Fi sync. Connected by cable, checked the sync over wifi, removed the cable and Ipad disappeared from the Itune screen. I reset the Ipad, connected and did the whole procedure with Itunes and the iPad icon sticked to the itunes screen for a while but after about an hour disappeared again.
Now the ipad won't even connect.
When this thing works, it is a wonderful item. When it doesn't, it is a source of frustration. Can anyone help to solve this connection problem (resetting won't work) ?
thank you.

http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-57559832-37/apple-releases-ios-6.0.2-to-fix-wi -fi-issue/
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Brand New iPad Mini WiFi ISSUES

So I bought my iPad Mini 32gb a week ago and I've been using it eversince with my house's wifi. I recently updated it to iOS 6.1.3 and a couple of days after I started having WiFi issues. So I connect to my wifi and use it as usual, but after 5 minutes of using it the internet stops working eventhough it still shows the 3 bars of internet on the top left corner next to iPad. To fix this I have to turn off my iPad every time. I am trying to see if there is a solution or if I will have to send it to the apple repair center or change it for a new one for 40 bucks. I really need internet on it so please help. ( IT IS URGENT.)

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button
