I've seen a ton of articles about this and none of them seem to fix my issue. I'm hoping that describing my specific situation may help someone point me in the right direction.
I have an iMac (my wife's, I know little about Macs) about 3 years old, 24" I think, all in one deal, you get the idea. We have upgraded each time a new species of predatory cat operating system has become available.
With the most recent upgrade to Mountain Lion we now have trouble with the wifi disconnecting each time we switch users, the computer goes to sleep automatically/screensaver, and on power-up. If you click the wifi icon manually our router immediately shows up, click on it, and you get connected within a few seconds. But it's a major pain in the ***.
First, it's a stationary "desktop" computer that's not going anywhere like a laptop might, so if I can force this thing to ignore every wireless network but my own (I thought I did that but it seems to find the neighbor's every time) and automatically connect to it every time I would be (read: my wife would be) the happiest most-recent-predatory-cat-user in the world.
I have seen the articles about creating a home network profile and all of that and none of those seem to help.
Any advice? Thanks so much!
