Q: MBP internet

Hi everyone, I have a MBP running Mountain Lion. All of a sudden it appears I cannot log on to the internet. WiFi works and othe devices, iPad3, iPhone and desktop Win7 get the internet, not my MBP. Ideas?

Thanks BB,

 

What I did was :-

 

System Pref - Network - WiFi - Assist me - Diagnostics - Select location. In 'Select location' was about 5 different locations, one of which was 'Automatic' I changed the location to Automatic and the MBP went onto the net fine. Is there anyway I can remove the other locations that are redundant, yet the MBP somehow defaulted to one of them.

 

Thanks,

 

Mike.

    Change your router channel number.  Most times this works & is all you have to do.

     

    System Preferences>Network

    Click the Assist Me button.

    In the next window that pops up, click the Diagnostic button & do the necessary.

    ============================

     

    Also, run the Airport Utility app which is located inside the Utilities folder.

    If using a  Linksys router, contact LinkSys Customer Support and/or post in their forums.

     

    If using Apple's Airport, please re-post over in one of the AirPort Forums.

    System Preferences>Network>Advanced button>Wi-Fi - Using the minus button "-" and start deleting/removing all unnecessary networks.

    Place a check mark next to "Remember networks this computer has joined."

    Click the OK button.

    Click the Apply button.

    Lock the padlock.
