Apr 8, 2013 9:47 AM in response to rbdohmby ds store,If your router is WEP encrypted or "hidden" this can cause problems.
If your having interfence issues, then get a newer larger Wifi router with a more powerful signal.
If your too far away from the router, it can lose the signal.
Head to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network > Airport > Advanced > Airport and delete all the previous network connections.
Reboot and connect manually and when it asks to save in KeyChain do so.

Change your router channel number. Most times this works & is all you have to do.
Disconnect & reconnect your modem. unplug it for about 10 seconds. Plug it back in. Do the same for Apple’s routers. Wait for everything to reboot.
System Preferences>Network
Click the Assist Me button.
In the next window that pops up, click the Diagnostic button & do the necessary.
