- 2010 MBP w/ i7, 4GB DDR3, 500GB ATA, Snow 10.6.3, and iPhone 3G
I've had this issue for months now. The only solution is to reboot the modem. Background. I've got a 2009 MBP running Snow Leopard. I share with the home network with the tenants that rent out my basement. If I reset the wireless modem I can connect with my MBP. As soon as I take the computer out of the room, lets say 30ft, where the signal strength is still 2-3 bars I am unable to reconnect, or as I should say "connection timed out". I'll return to the wireless hotspot (right next to the wireless modem) and try to reconnect, again "connection timed out". I've tried everything on the MBP, i.e. renewing the lease, restarting the comp, all to no avail. The only solution is to restart the modem. My desktop and my housemates older MBP are situated pretty far from the wireless modem, 20-25 ft, and never have this issue. Help!
