Q: Lion WiFi Connection Problem

Oct 19, 2011 4:52 PMby museken,I'm glad you said that. When you eliminate the obvious that which remains no matter how improbable must be the truth. Someone or some corporation is stealing your bandwith. I noticed alot of talk about cell phones. Well Blackberrys use there g4 or g3 what ever. Maybe there is a hole in Apples security. I just recently upgraded my firewall WEP to WPA04 almost instantly I've had trouble with major corp sites. VH1 for instances. It's almost like someone hacked my WEP and was using my information for self profit...but once I set up my new wall they could not hack, their sevice all of a sudden dropped off. I'm just learning this Apple I'm new here. Is netstat available on this book? If so where and how do I access it. My net works fine otherwise although I do get the beach ball of death every once in a while, curious?. If some provider is hitting apple, It's time for Apple to hit back.. Ohh yes the right technology can steal your bandwidth. These ....uckers are outside the box..They pick and choose. The solution...Apple should become the provider.. Thank you, Steve Jobs and my strongest respect from the bottom of my useless life, to his family who created this Genius. Apple you got work to do!...

Oct 20, 2011 6:51 AMby russianbar,Ok been trying to fix my drop out problems for a week, when wifi is "looking for other networks" the connection would drop out, finally fixed it by stopping the router from broadcasting SSID, now although it still looks for other networks every 10 seconds or so, it does now not drop out, I can now play my online poker without any disconnections at all

Oct 20, 2011 6:59 PMby manny.key,Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately it didn’t fix my specific issue. I have shut down Wi-Fi on PowerBook and connected to our home network through the Ethernet port and some old hardware from Netgear that allows one to use the wiring of the house as a cable plant. Otherwise, every other device on Wi-Fi slows down to a crawl. I’ll keep looking for other solutions.
Thanks again.

I'm thinking that some routers may constantly broadcaast their SSID so the problem isn't being seen by everyone, as it happens you are more secure with SSID broadcast off as this makes your network invisible, just remember your network name, as you'll need it when logging on your wireless devices as they wont fnd your wireless network automatically
