Hi,
I've started having this weird problem, which happened after a recent software update. A few time my wireless connectivity just disappears even though the Airport keeps showing a full connection. Then, the connection in the bar disappears, and when I try the option 'Turn Airport On', nothing happens. Even if I try through Network preferences, nothing happens. I have to reboot to get my connection back.
What to do?

thanks.

Sorry, I should add that this is a MacBook Pro circa May 2010 2.4 Ghz Core duo, and the OS is Mac OS X 10.6.6

Moved to correct forum.

Try removing the connection that's giving you trouble and create a new one. Usually, that will resolve the issue. Also, you might want to reboot your router by turning it off and on again.
