OS X Lion Wireless Issues

I am getting quite frustrated.

I have done everything I can. The issue is that when my iMac or MBP returns from sleep mode or starts up from a shutdown state, the wireless connection to my network does not happen automatically.

I have ensured it is the first in the list of my prefered networks.

The only way to make it connect is to actually select it from the list and voila! I'm on the network again. This is rather frustrating. Considering my iMac doesn't really shut down at all. I have the screen go off after a certain time period, but I still would like to access the darn thing from my MBP when I need certain bits of data from it.

Has anyone experienced this issue?

Regards,

Thank you so much for your answer! Finally, I found a WORKING solution.

I have been fighting with this problem for a long time (Mac OS X Lion). When I connected to wifi network in the local libraries, the login popup did appear, but it was completely blank. Trying to go to some page with Chrome browser didn't work. Usually I could get to the login screen using Safari (after accepting the certificate), but not always it worked.

After changing the settings you mentioned I can finally see the login form in the opening pop-up window!

Thanks a lot 🙂
