I need some help please!
My iMacs connection to my router is dropping and I have to turn the airport / wifi setting off then on again in order for it to resume.
It has been happening for quite a while now. Someone suggested it was the router so I bought a brand new one which does both N & G and it still happens whichever channel I am using.
The strange thing is, if I am downloading a large file, or streaming radio or video, that process carries on just fine- but when I go to open a new web page it freezes and doesn't open until I turn the wifi/airport icon off then on. This also includes trying to open up the local router interface so it is not just trying to access the internet. Also It is not specific to Safari as Firefox has the same issue too.
My Mac Mini, ipad and iphone do not have this problem.
I have tried an archive and install and this didn't help.
I am on 10.5.8 and the iMac is 8,1
Any ideas what this could be?
Thanks!!
