Q: Some serious problems with Mountain Lion

Hi everyone,

I upgraded my mid 2010 15" MBP to Mountain Lion 2 days ago, and I have some serious problems with my machine now.

- Wifi problem: like many members 's machines, mine has problem to connect to the wifi after sleep or restarting, I had to wait 10 to 15 minutes for it to connected to my home network. Anh I tried to remove all of my settings in System Preferences/Network and added new connection. And now it cant connect to wifi anymore. I'm writing this article while sitting on the floor with my Ethernet cable plugged in my MBP. I connected to internet through a DSL modem and a Airport Extreme as a bridge and Access Point. I also tried to set up all of my network device but my MBP can't connect to the wifi still.

- Keyboard problem with Pages: I was very happy with the new iCloud syncing for Pages documents but after 5 minutes, I met a big problem with Mountain Lion. Whenever I type in Pages with Vietnames Keyboard( Mac OS X built in or from another developer: http://www.trankynam.com/gotv/ ), Pages stops working immediately. I can still drag the Pages's window around but can't type or do any editing. After that I have to force quit pages. It is really stupid that I'm writing a book in Pages and now I have to stop my working till apple fixes this ridiculous bug. I tried German Keyboard as well and Pages worked flawlessly. Do you hate Vietnamese, Apple?

- Messages problem: Since upgrading to Mountain Lion I couln't send or receive any messages. It worked perfectly in Messages beta.

Does anyone have the same problems like me? Any solution such as how to reinstall Messages(I googled but found nothing)

Apple, please test your software more before release it. I feel like I have no computer at the moment because I can't work, can't surfing the web wirelessly and can't communicate with my friends.

    I had the WiFi issue too with my late 2010 iMac... had to change the router settings to WPA2 instead of WEP security. According to Apple Care, the WEP security is too old school for the new software. HTH.

    Although WEP is old school and really not secure at all my newest Dell notebook has no problem connecting to those types of WiFi networks.

     

    Glad you got it fixed.

    Try setting MTU to 1300 in Network.

     

    Network -> Advanced -> Hardware -> Congifure: Manually, MTU Custom, 1300

     

    That solved my WiFi problems

    Hi,

     

    I agree that sometimes setting the MTU rate to a lower figure can be helpful but dropping it from the default 1500 to 1492 (it must be done is 8s from some reason) seems to work for me.

    I tried all the tips imaginable.

    The only solution was to set the channel on the wireless router on channel 11.

    It seems to me, the Mountain Lion has a problem when the channel the router is in automatic, then every time the channel is changed, the connection of the wifi card of Macbook drops.

    I hope that helps.

    Interesting.

     

    In the three Modems that I have had two have been Wifi and I have also had a WiFi router as well.

     

    Although all were set to the "middle" channel when I received them none has had An Automatic Setting.

     

    It does pay to check if your router is using the same or close by Channels compared to your Neighbours as  there can be interference
