Q: I recently installed a new Airport WIFI on my I-Book G-4. Works fine, but the WIFI doesn't automatically come on after the PC sleeps. How to fix??
My new WIFI works fine, but doesn't automatically give me a WIFI connection when I "power up" or even after the PC sleeps. I probably skipped a step in the installation process, but don't know which one. I gone back thru the installation process a couple of times, but still no luck. I've had a WIFI previously on this IBook G4 and it worked automatically. This is easy to get going after "sleep," but after powering back up it more difficult, since the name is no longer in the WIFI airport list. HELP??
iBookG4, Mac OS X (10.4.11)

Have you tried System Preferences/Network Pane. Click on Airport and then click the options bar next to the show status in the menu bar. At the top of the next window is a a question "if no recent networks are found". Click and select the automatic choice. It may work.
