my imac (snow leporad) keeps spinning it's wheel looking for networks when it is already connected to my wifi (Airport Extreme). wifi periodically suddenly stops connecting and I have to turn wifi off (thru imac) and then simply turn it back on to establish a connection again. It is my first wifi listed in "Networks" and I don't have any other networks in the house as well.
Any help is much appreciated!

Try rebooting your router and modem. This sometimes helps.
Thank you. I have tried this already. Any other suggestions?
Mine wil occassionally behave this way, I end up resetting the wireless, then rebuilding the network. It seems to work for 6- months then for some reason it happens again. All the best
Thank you - 1 other question which may include the problem.
on the wifi icon at the top of the Mac, it "suggests" a wifi network to join. I think it's my neighbors and has a password. How can I "forget this network". can't seem to figure out b/c I have never "joined" it. Thanks
sorry, I have Mountain Lion
I just opened my Lion machine>airport utility>preferences, check only monitor base staions I have configured, but you might want to look at the other options and see if experimenting with those settings might help. I usually use SL, which is different, and I'm not all that familiar. Maybe there is some interference in the area that is mobile, I know that when there was a bunch of construction, with cops, ambulances, and who knows what else radio pollution was there, this was across the street from my house. I had multiple issues. When they went away, so did my issues. Wish I could be more help. Here are some links that might have something you can use. Best of luck.
