I have a 2008 iMac. Up until the past month or so, I have had not problems with my internet connection (I use Firefox). We recently upgraded to Snow Leopard, then Lion. I upgraded my memory from 1GB to 4GB to do the Lion upgrade. I also bought a backup hard drive and started using Time Machine.
My internet connection is driving me crazy. I used to have 'airport' icon, now it says wi-fi and it is often disconnected, or sometimes self assigns an IP address that isn't correct. Loading a regular page can sometimes take forever, let alone trying to watch a video.
I turned off the Time Machine, to see if that might be the problem, but it is still slow. Is there some setting I need to correct once I switched to Lion? I've tried to look at the Network preferences, but it all seems kosher (although I am definitely not an expert).
Argh! Can anyone give me an idea on where to adjust something, anything??
