| 1323926 | 2013-01-21 01:51:00 | I just bought a new modem/router and it has worked fine on many computers except my dads macbook air. | Slankydudl (16687) | ||
| 1323927 | 2013-01-21 01:52:00 | So, the problem is most likely with the Macbook Air then. What sort of password protection are you using on the router? Does taking away the password allow the Macbook to access the internet then? | Nick G (16709) | ||
| 1323928 | 2013-01-21 02:02:00 | I was using WPA2 and disabling it has appeared to solve the issue, I will go through different encryption types until one work's. Thank you. | Slankydudl (16687) | ||
| 1323929 | 2013-01-21 02:17:00 | What model Macbook Air is it? Could be the wireless card doesn't support WPA2. Did it like WPA2 on the old router? | Nick G (16709) | ||
| 1323930 | 2013-01-21 02:38:00 | Does it connect at all? If it connects but you get no internet access wireless is probably been moved underneath ethernet or something see here: support.apple.com if that doesn't work try a DHCP Lease Renewal\ If you can't connect to the wireless at all: - Update the routers firmware What version of OSX are you running? Lion has known wifi issues, make sure your version of the OS is up to date. Various updates are out for lion and mountain lion that fix OSX's wifi issues. - Use a Linux Live CD, if you can connect to the wifi using that then it's a settings issue on the Mac side. If you can't you might have to do some digging on the wireless device that your Dad's mac is using. You may find it's incompatible with some feature that the router might have on by default. |

| 1323931 | 2013-01-21 03:15:00 | the problem has started again.... it is connecting to the internet and working but it will intermittently just disconnect then reconnect | Slankydudl (16687) | ||
| 1323932 | 2013-01-21 03:34:00 | Have a look in the router for the channel width settings. Most modern routers will have 20MHz/40MHz selected, try forcing 20MHz widths and see if that helps. | wratterus (105) | ||
| 1323933 | 2013-01-21 03:36:00 | Whats the brand/model of the modem? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1323934 | 2013-01-21 03:55:00 | Sounds like this: osxdaily.com and osxdaily.com Make sure OS X is up to date. 99% sure they fixed this (seeing as it's a 2011 issue). |
