Netopia Router WiFi-connexion problem solved on MacBook Pro!
Hi folks!
I'm the owner of a MacBook Pro 2.33GHz since last March, and since then, I've been unable to connect my MBP to a Netopia 3347W wireless modem/router. It kept telling me that there was an error trying to connect to the local network. I had tried with or without any WEP or WPA, I had tried almost every single workaround I had found on the net or on this Apple Forum, and nothing did the trick. I have to precise I could connect without any problem to all the other WiFi-networks I found to date, except that at my relatives' house. 2 different Linksys were ok, a Motorola was ok, even at the University I could connect to all the WiFis I found. And the issue with the Netopia router was known.
I was almost desperate and thinking about buying a new router or so, and today, thanks to the
MacOS X 10.4.11 update
everything works as if it always had! I could (finally) connect, even with WEP encryption, and the signal is excellent!
So, you folks (and I know there are a lot!) having problems with WiFi on your MBP, try to upgrade to 10.4.11 and give some feedback! Let's see if they finally did it!
Cheers
