Lion WiFi Connection Problem

I just don't throw away my macbook pro because I bought it two weeks ago. Anyway, i'm trying to get a refund at the store where I bought it or exchanging it for another one to sell without open it. I'll never more use Apple products. I have just bought a PC notebook (one third of macbook price), and everything works fine.

Add my name to list of very upset Apple users. Wi-fi drop out problems every minute no matter what fix I've tried. Impossible to work at all. This is an Apple problem and a very basic and bad one. I have two Apple wireless networks and both behave the same. Badly. I've never seen so many posts on one issue with an Apple product before. An update is over due and really an arrogant move by Apple to wait so long to fix this problem. Really pee'ed off with Lion's basic faults and the lack of action by Apple to fix them. Feels like a rush job to me.

I know this forum is not meant for complaining, but where else can I vent my spleen other that send Steve Jobs an email. Long time Apple user and very disapointed.

I didn't have any Keychain issues, I have also tried some of the "fixes" suggested but none have worked. I downloaded OSX Lion last Saturday and this problem has only occured since the download. I get no WiFi connection after lifting the lid and coming out of sleep mode. My Airport express for iTunes to stereo is not experiencing a problem. For me I need to, "Turn WiFi Off" then "Turn WiFi On" to get a connection. Why hasn't Apple fixed this yet??

I use the automation script in OnyX which checks permissions, runs maintenance scripts, clears and refreshes various caches etc. It has helped me with wifi issues in the past, but of course, no guarantee comes with this recommendation.

I logged a ticket with Apple to regarding this and have had several chats, calls and submitted a capture log which has been passed onto Apple developers/engineers etc.

I was advised that usually (note: usually) an update or new fix is released 30 days after the initial launch, so hopefully 10.7.1 should be out in the next few weeks. (No guarantee on that date). I was advised logging a ticket with them is the best thing to do so they are aware of issues and each individual users case.

If it stil does not auto-connect to the correct wifi base station after recovering from sleep, make sure that base station is at the top of the list of Preferred Networks in System Preferences - Network - Advanced - Wifi

Nipper here is what i get, if I use my other laptop on the same network it works perfectly fine

PHY Mode: 802.11n

BSSID: 68:7f:74:51:34:6b

Channel: 1

Country Code: US

Network Type: Infrastructure

Security: WPA2 Personal

Signal / Noise: -49 dBm / -80 dBm

Transmit Rate: 130

MCS Index: 15

PHY Mode: 802.11g

BSSID: 00:14:bf:35:72:7d

Channel: 6

Country Code: US

Network Type: Infrastructure

Security: None

Signal / Noise: -60 dBm / -80 dBm

Transmit Rate: 54

the only thing I see that has changed is this

before I had this now instead of .6 its changed to .10, I saw other people posting before with this firmware level that had these problems so I am not sure this solved anything

nothing here has changed

Mbacco, your message is too cryptic.

Do you mean KO as in knocked out (= no good) or OK (= fine).

And what does "AP is TC" mean.

If you want help tryo to be concise and clear even if English is not your native tongue.

Well for what it is worth, I downloaded 10.7.1 and what issues I had with the wifi are fixed. I was thinking that some of my issues were Brighthouse but also the distance from the router. I say that because 2 computers that are the same in this house, one had issues other did not. The computer that didnt was in the same room as the router. In my case Apple got it right.

I have MBP 17 late 2009;

I have installed Lion (10.7.0) and the notebook worked fine;

I use Apple Time Capsule (TC) like Access Point (AP);

After upgrade to 10.7.1, my MBP 2009 have no wifi link and dont read the lan

( error in IP assignement);

I have also a MBP 17 late 2011 with 10.7.1 and work fine....

ideas?

iMAC late 2010 - Failure of WiFi when waking from sleep.

Updated to 10.7.1 and WiFi started when waking from sleep. Shutdown the iMac and did a cold start taking me back to WiFi FAILURE when waking from sleep. Bottom line - 10.7.1 has not worked.

Check that the base station you are trying to renew the connection to after waking from sleep is at the top of the list in Preferred Networks under System Preferences - Networks - Wifi - Advanced - Wifi. if it is not, move it to the top of the list and try again. Also make sure Remember networks this computer has joined is checked.

Let us know what happens.

L'aggiornamento 10.7.1 non ha risolto il problema: tutto come prima...il wi-fi non funziona. almeno sul mio Imac con wi-fi firmware Atheros 9280.

The 10.7.1 update did not solve the problem as before ... wi-fi does not work. at least on my iMac with Atheros wifi firmware 9280.

Setup as you outline since 10.7 and now 10.7.1 (see nipper123)

Enter sleep with a single press on the power button. Wakeup with a click on the Magic Trackpad - No WiFi.

Enter sleep by leaving the iMac to idle. Wakeup with a click on the Magic Trackpad - WiFi works.

Once WiFi is on have similar levels of performance as those in Snow Leopard. Fast, consistent and quality WiFi service. I have tried all the options appearing on this website and others. Simply, WiFi issues in Lion that never appeared in Snow Leopard.

10.7.1 has only been on my iMac for about 6 hours so I will be trying the various remedies again (ignoring the two clean installs that I will not repeat). For the moment avoid using the power button to enter sleep and all is well.
