Hey, my name is Steve and I have to admit that althought I love my macbook, I know nothing about it or any opther coputers for that matter.
So, hopefully someone will be able to help me out with a problem I am having, using normal not-too-technical english. ;D
So here's my problem...
I got a macbook about a year ago...maybe a bit longer. It has worked great for most of that time EXCEPT that about 2 months agop it started acting weird.
When I turn it on, it automatically connects to my wireless network, which I like. But lately, I get disconnected withing 2-5 minutes of turning on the computer. When I look at my airport, it says "lynksis connected" and it shows a strong signal.
To get the internet to work again, I have to turn the airport off and then turn it back on. It then does the same thing. Works for a couple of minutes, then the connection drops, yet it says I am connected and that the signal is good to excelent.
I have a second laptop that I rarely use, but when I DO use it, the connection works just perfect. Never drops.
So, keeping that in mind, I am assuming that the problem is my computer, NOT the router. Right?
If anyone could tell me what to do about this problem, I'd be very happy!
Thanks in advance!
Steve
