MacBook Pro wireless range has suddenly decreased

I've had my MacBook for almost a year now and the wireless range has been fine. However, a few days ago the wireless started going a bit dodgy - it would sometimes stop working and website would not load. But a quick restart sorted it all out.
Then, since yesterday it has stopped working completely when I am in my room (where it previously worked find.) But when I move closer to the router it works....
Does anyone know any fixes or would getting in contact with apple be the best option?
Thanks in advance,
SGreenUK
(Sorry if this has come up before, there are so many problems about networking on the internet I could not find one with my specific problem.)

Thanks for the reply.
I changed the channel and then I did a proper reboot of my router ( from within the router settings) and it seems to have fixed everything.

  • MacBook Pro running Leopard has suddenly thinks audio CDs are blank.  Also not recognized in Itunes.

    MacBook Pro running Leopard has suddenly thinks audio CDs are blank.  Also not recognized in Itunes.  What should I do to determine whether it's a hardware or software problem? Or is there something unusual about these CDs?

    I have the exact same issue.DVD's work perfectly, but audio cd's have stopped working.  I think it's pretty recent, but can't confirm it because i don't use audio cd's daily. So I think it might be software related instead of hardware related. I Have a Macbook pro 15" mid 2009 running the latest OSX release.

  • My MacBook Pro 2/I7 has suddenly slowed to a crawl. No viruses.

    Not much else to say. Worked great up 'til yesterday. Everything is now slow. Thought it was a virus. Bought latest Norton; did scan and no viruses or other related problems.

    I migrated all my stuff from my old iMac everything working fine so I was a happy boy. However, about 4 weeks later my internet has slowed to a crawl. Slower than dial up it seems.
    I did some speed tests over the network on 3 seperate devices and got the following
    iPad and iPhone
    Upload: 3Mb
    Download: 7Mb
    iMac
    Upload: 0.09Mb
    Download: 0.5Mb
    As I mentioned, this was 100% fine before today, I have run no updates so far, as none available. I see lots of people on here have been having problems, but they have upgraded to M Lion from previous OS's. Mine was M Lion straight from the box.
    It's not just Safari that's slow, it's the app store, Opera, Firefox and Spotify. Everything is very very very slow. I am connected to the network fine. I need help with this. Please help. I'm doing this from work as home iMac couldn't get here!!
    Are you running any Anti-Virus/Security software or similar?

  • I want to connect my ps3 to my macbook pro wirelessly.

    I want to connect my ps3 to my macbook pro wirelessly, my macbook pro is connected to the internet via ethernet.

    OS X offers a feature known as Internet Sharing. With this feature enabled, the Mac Pro would perform as a "software" router. If the Mac Pro has built-in wireless (AirPort), you could then use this feature to share the Mac Pro's wired Internet connection via AirPort to the PS3.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    When you connect an external display, the dedicated GPU is used. This GPU generates more heat and needs more power, being this probably the reason why your Mac is hot. It also depends on the applications you use, but in this case, I do not find any application that takes a lot of processor and RAM.
    Anyway, those temperatures are still not dangerous. Fans should be working to decrease the temperature.

  • My macbook pro wifi stop working suddenly, and know appears a X on the wifi icon, what may have happened?

    Hello,
    My macbook pro wifi stop working suddenly, and know appears a X on the wifi icon, what may have happened?
    Its seems to be the harware.

    Hello raphaelitajuba,
    The article linked below provides information regarding this indicator and steps that can help restore functionality to your MacBook Pro's Wi-Fi.
    AirPort has detected a problem with the driver or a necessary sub-system component, apply the latest manual AirPort software update or reinstall Mac OS X. If reinstalling Mac OS X does not correct the problem, take your computer to an authorized Apple service center.

  • Fed up of Macbook Pro wireless problems

    I'm having lots of trouble with my Macbook Pro wireless and really don't know what to do with it.
    My own router (3COM officeconnect) I cannot connect to at all no matter what I try - but I've given up hope on that anyways.
    My current problem is that at a friends house with a Linksys 11g wifi router (forgot which one) I can connect to the wifi network (WEP128) but I cant browse the net! I can ping IP numbers directly, but I cannot ping names (such as www.google.com). I keep getting 'cannot resolve host'. strangely enough, after I reboot a number of times sometimes I CAN browse the net...
    I'm currently at a hospital which is fully decked out with CISCO wifi access points (unsecured) everywhere, which my 5 year old HP can access no problems within seconds of booting up, my mobile phone can access without any configuration... but my state of the art macbook pro cannot. I have the same problem as the Linksys, I can connect to their network, I can ping IP addresses, but cant browse the web or ping names (and ive been rebooting and trying for about 8 hours now).
    I took the MBP to an apple certified service place a whileback and they concluded the hardware was fine, cos I can connect to apple wifi points (which is all they care about). Ive never had any problems with wifi on windows, linux, PSP, symbian or Windows Mobile... but the MBP seems to be in a league of its own.
    I'm hoping this is a configuration issue, but I dont know what I would need to configure, both the hp and mobile phone can connect without any configuration, so I would have expected the mbp to connect easily too. I havnt changed any settings on it.
    It sounds like a DNS issue so I checked the DNS servers assigned to the mbp, and its the same as the whats on the hp(all assigned with DHCP). Just in case I tried putting in the DNS servers manually but still I get the same thing.
    If anyone has any ideas or suggestions it would be much appreciated!
    (On another note, I just logged in and I was asked to create a new account for these forums! dunno what happened but now Ive started from scratch! i had loads of posts, subscribtions etc.! all gone!)
    MBP C2D 3GB / MP 8core 8GB X1900 / Shuttle SN25P 3800+ 2GB GF7800GTX   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    "My current problem is that at a friends house with a Linksys 11g wifi router (forgot which one) I can connect to the wifi network (WEP128) but I cant browse the net!"
    This is the exact same problem I'm having. The ONLY time I was able to connect to the internet w/ my MBP was at a cafe w/ a linksys connection, the first day I had the MBP. But now I can't even connect there. Although internet connect SAYS I'm connected to linksys and shows a strong signal, and my network diagnostics show that I'm connected, I can't browse the internet. I bought this partly to do video editing in Final Cut Pro (why I needed an MBP rather than the less expensive macbook) and partly so that I could work between classes, which is absolutely necessary for me. But I haven't been able to connect on my college campus despite the fact that no one else is having problems w/ their PCs or their macbooks. Everywhere I go with this thing, I'm the only one having problems (and I should mention that I happen to be the only person using an MBP in each place I've tested it...). I'm not sure what to do. I can't configure any routers or anything because I'm connecting in public places (at home I use a highspeed DSL connection w/ a PC), and there are no problems w/ the routers anyways, since everyone w/ older laptops is connecting just fine.
    So far this is what I've done to try to fix it:
    -Went over everything with Apple tech support, who said that all of my configurations were correct and that it was a problem with the 10.4.10 update. So I...
    -Reinstalled my operating system to go back to 10.4.9. Still the same problem. So I...
    -Zapped the PRAM. Nothing.
    -Did the Macbook Pro Update that came out yesterday. Nothing.
    -Installed the latest security update. Nothing.
    I should mention I've only had this laptop for about a week, haven't changed any settings (I'm new to Macs so I would be uncomfortable doing so, anyways), and haven't installed anything except for a trial version of the Mac FTP program Fetch (which was working fine the one time I was able to get connected). I guess I'm going to uninstall that and forfeit the rest of my trial period, but I really doubt that program is the problem.
    Anyways, I'm really frustrated as well. I guess I'm going to try to download the program mentioned in this thread to clear my cache. I'll let you know if it works, by some miracle...

  • I just upgraded to Maverick on my2 year old Macbook Pro and it has slowed down the computer terribly.  All I see is that whirling circle every time I do anything.  How do I go back to old OS.  Terrible upgrade -- forces you to buy a new Mac!!!!

    I just upgrade to Maverick on my 2 year old MacBook Pro and it has slowed down the computer terribly.  All I see every time I do anything is that crazy circle going round and round.  I don't recommend you upgrading.  How do I get rid of it.  I believe it forces you to buy a new macbook!!!!

    It does not. First things first have you tried restarting?
    Try restting PRAM

    Try booting up in Safe Mode

    Also open "activity monitor" and look and see what is using a lot of processing power.

  • Macbook Pro starts up, has a small loading bar, and then shuts off.

    Macbook Pro starts up, has a small loading bar, and then shuts off after a few seconds, but the Windows bootcamp partition works fine.
    The repair disc option (using install disc) failed, and the computer cannot locate the original Mac side partition. Only Bootcamp appears under options to "restore from backup" or reinstall. The repair disc options says it should be repaired but doesn't seem to know how.
    Macbook Pro.
    Snow leaopard
    Bootcamped with Windows.
    Any ideas?

    Hold c or option key and boot off the 10.6 installer disk, run DU Repair from there.
    run through this list of fixes 1-8
    Step by Step to fix your Mac
    If it doens't work, you can recover files if you don't have any current OS X file backups, then grab what you can out of Bootcamp
    Use Data Rescue installed on the extenral boot drive ($100) to read the bits of the internal (non-filevaulted) drive to retrieve OS X data files if you can't get them off manually via drag and drop methods.
    Create a data recovery, undelete boot drive
    If you want to clone Windows, use WinClone and another drive. However it's likely compromised, unless it something you did in Windows, like trying to create a new parttition perhaps?
    Then perform a Zero Erase and install of 10.6 as shown here (on the entire drive, not only the parittions), this will give a new GUID partition table, EFI and map off bad sectors, totally fresh everything.
    How to erase and install Snow Leopard 10.6
    You cna use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the new extenral setup to the new scrubbed internal drive. Recreate Bootcamp and WinClone back or fresh install Windows into Bootcamp like before. OR opt to use virtual machine software which is safer.
    Windows in BootCamp or Virtual Machine?
    Windows 7 can write to the boot drives GUID partition map (unlike XP), this is likely why it's borked now.

  • Once 10.9.1 is loaded onto my MacBook Pro and it has accessed all my files; is there anyway to back out of the relationship?  I don't want my data on iCloud - how do I make that happen?  Many thanks for any help.

  • HT3500 how can i connect my macbook pro wirelessly to an hp printer with a asus rt 66acr router?

    how can i connect my macbook pro wirelessly to an hp printer with a asus rt 66acr router?

    Firstly, the HP printer must be connected to the ASUS' network. Then, simply connect your MBP to the network and your printer should be addable in Print & Fax in System Preferences.

  • My beloved MacBook Pro (mid 2010) has been the victim of water damage.

    My beloved MacBook Pro (mid 2010) has been the victim of some water damage.  They cleaned and dried it out at Apple.  Now it turns on, the fan runs, the Apple logo screen pops up, and then it shuts down immediately.  Is this repairable, aside from the $1200 flat rate repair, or am I SOL?  Any ideas where to start or troubleshoot?  Any diagnoses?

    It is better to spend money on a new MacBook Air or MacBook Pro.
    Liquid damage is progressive.
    Best.

  • Macbook Pro Mid 2009 has a good battery but it won´t charged.

    My Macbook Pro 15,4" has a 82% healthy batterie, but she will not charged. The Magsafe-Light is all the time GREEN.
    The Battery has 1074 cycles.
    Is there any way to bring the battery back to life?
    Kind Regards, Michael

    Did you follow these instructions?
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
    That should work - if you can't reset the SMC, you need to get your computer to an Apple Store or an AASP.

  • HT5287 DVD and CD sharing will not let you play or share DVD movies and audio CD's.  Does any one know of a way to get music from a CD on a MacBook Pro wirelessly to an iMac?

    DVD and CD sharing will not let you play or share DVD movies and audio CD's.  Does any one know of a way to get music from a CD on a MacBook Pro wirelessly to an iMac?

    I cannot find the eMac install disk, and I haven't been able to get it to start up from my 10.3 CDRm (holding down option or c), though I read something somewhere about these not being able to start up from system folders earlier than those they shipped with. I've dealt with this sort of thing several times before, and it always seemed to work to simply use target disk mode.
    It definitely won't start up fromt the 10.5 DVD-R, and I'm pretty sure I tried putting the MBP into TM to use its optical drive as well, but it didn't work. But it's worth trying again, and I appreciate your input greatly.
