Good evening
Someone could help me? My Macbook pro mid 2010 with Mac OX 10.6.8 freeze only if I switch on airport and connect to the wifi at home. At work or with others modems everything perfect
Why and what I need to do?

MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2010), Mac OS X (10.6.8)
Which Airport router are you using?
In particular, Snow Leopard will do this when connected to modems which have certain IPv6 implementations. Lion (or later) doesn't have this problem, but since IPv6 likely isn't currently of any use to you, for now you might as well configure your current OS install to ignore it.
While disconnected from the problematic network (turn your modem off if you have to), click on your wifi / Airport icon at the top right of your screen then choose the last option on the menu (to enter network preferences).
In there, select the Airport card on the left, then the Advanced button at the lower right.
On the next page, choose the TCP/IP tab up the top, and set the dropdown next to "Configure IPv6" to "Off". Click Ok then the Apply button that was beneath that, close the window and rejoin the network.
Thank you so much!!!!!
You are a genius and saved me!
Now Macbook pro works perfectly!!!
