Hello everyone!
Ok so this might be a weird/uncommon situation but let me explain. I bought wireless headphones on sale a year ago (sennheiser 170 I believe) and I have it setup on my macbook pro which is my main computer. The problem is that every time I turn on the headphones I loose my wireless network on my mac -,-
To fix it I usually have to go to my airport menu-icon and repeatedly turn it off and then back on. Sometimes its as few as 5 times... sometimes its closer to 35 times before my network will reestablish itself.
As you can see it's pretty annoying and I've tried everything { waiting 30 seconds between activation, increasing my wireless router power management (on the net it says this gives a stronger signal from the router), even messing with some settings on my mac for the wireless interface}. I can't find anything that works though
I thought its also worth mentioning sometimes when I turn the wireless card off and then on again, it still won't connect but I will see my network name listed in the "connect to" dialog. If I click that though it will just keep searching and searching and finally timeout.
Any help would be appreciated as today I think I've finally had it with trying to just make do with it the way it is. Its a 9 on the annoying scale if you can imagine.
Thanks everyone!
PS my mbp model is early 2011 and I have no special wireless card installed - its all stock. also my router is a D-link with firewall enabled. On normal operations I get excellent signal to the router so I know its probably not anything to do with the distance of my computer from the router.
