MBA after updating to lion = Fuc%$#@&ng nightmare.....

Is so hard to understand?....

THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH LION, SOME PEOPLE ARE LUCKY AND DOESNT HAVE IT.... I DO....

If i have a new MBA, and also have paied for an upgrade, normally you should trust this upgrade,, not experience a downgrade....

And BTW, i have tried at least 8 different fixes i found on the web and nothing works.... my asumptions are very well based, at least more than your agressive-not-helpful post

then reinstall Lion... maybe one of your settings has changed and you dont know it. So many devices connected to the router, but i bet you dont even know what the maximum amount of devices that your wifi could hold. What type of Router do you have. I looked... I only saw your one post... not another post describing your problem. So when you say...

Your asumptions are not well based. I would be more helpful, but you really have not given me any infomation regarding your problem.

I'm really curious why it's taking you 20 minutes to restore connectivity. For me...it's as simple as refreshing a browser page (sometimes it takes a couple of refresh requests).

I mean no disrespect but what the heck are you doing to consume approx. 20 min?

I sent a note off to my local Apple handler, asking if there was any new updates. I have not yet heard from him but will advise as soon as I know more.

I bought a new modem/router and everything is perfect now. It appears my modem was outdated (bout 5 years old). It was a Netgear DG834, now it's a 'Billion' brand and it's works flawlessly!

The rep concluded: A fix is almost finished and will soon be available as a "Software Update."

Hang in there guys ;-)

Unfortunately, after several months still not fixed 😮

After months of putting up with the problem I updated my software which said it would resolve any Wifi issues in the iMac mid 2010, Unfortunatley it didn't fix a thing!! Actually noticed that it made it worse, kind of disapointing from Apple!

Did this ever get fixed? It is really annoying to be disconnected from WiFi all day long. I know it's not the service because I have another computer (Windows) and it's fine.

I have just send feedback to Apple about this issue: http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html

I encourage everyone to do the same, the more people who send a message, the sooner it hopefully gets fixed.

If you go to.........

Apple Menu - System Preferences - Bluetooth - Advanced

Then uncheck the box at the bottom for

On Bluetooth-PDA-Sync Modem

to turn it off.

This solves the problem. (Unless of course you want to hook up a PDA) !!

Just tried this but no success. Should I turn off/on my iMac rather than just 'sleep' it?.

I have only had the machine for a week after switching from a pc, and it is a fantastic change! However, like people above, my machine will not select a wifi link when starting from 'sleep'. I'm sort of relieved to see that it's most probably not me.

I use a BT Home Hub with only two connections. One to the TV for iPlayer and one to the iMac.

Apple just a released a Software Update to address this issue. Seems to be working here!

This is the update you need for an iMac

Apparently there is one coming soon for the MacBook Airs as well

Update worked for me. Thank you.

The update didn't open for my mid-2007 20-inch iMac, which has been having this same problem for the past several months. Hopefully an update will come for older Mac models soon.

I fixed My MacBook air (OK it's a workaround)

Go to Apple Menu -> System Prefences -> Network

Click the lock in the bottom left hand corner and authenticate using your password.

Highlight the Bluetooth DUN option from the list of connections on the left hand side.

Press the - (minus) button at the bottom of the list.

Shut the window.

Mine works fine now even with the bluetooth turned on.

Hope this helps
