MacBook ProS not finding router

Hi Adrian

BobRz suggested in another thread that I should change the channel that my router is using. It was possble that someone else's more powerful router on the same channel was drowning mine - even though my laptop was only 2 metres from the router.

I did that and, so far, it has worked. I have loged in and out three times on both machines and they "found" my network instantly.

He also suggested a systems preference method as well. I have pasted that bit of his advice below.

Good luck

Bill

I think it's a possibility, and it's very easy to try. Obviously, do it when you're comfortable. Wifi problems are a bear to troubleshoot sometimes. I also have a mid-2010 and in my case it turned out to be an internal cable that had failed. That seems unlikely on two machines at the same time though. The point is it took quite awhile to figure that out. The other thing you can try is to go to System Preferences / Network. Choose your wifi network, then click Advanced and the wifi tab. Drag your network to the top of the list and use the - key to get rid of any unneeded networks you may have in there. Sometimes the list gets long over time and that screws things up as well.
