Hey all!
Was a PC dude for years, switched over to Mac 2 months ago (never looked back), but started having problems last week!
It goes like so:
Macbook (2gig Ram, 2.16 ghz) worked perfectly. I connect via Wifi to Netgear router. Macbook now seems to show that it has full wifi connectivity (via indicator in top right) but after about 5 mins of usage, ill click a weblink and it will just stop loading a page (blue bar in safari will be halfway done). Ill wait. Nothing. If I move mouse pointer over wifi indicator (or anywhere on top right bar) the pointer turns to the spinning mulitcoloured "wait" icon and the system crashes. By crash i mean nothing loads - if i click on say "iphoto" in the dock it just bounces up and down but thats it. I have to reboot.
Ive tried:
Installing Sheera, and Firefox (no help - although the problem i think got worse when i installed Safari 3 Beta)
Changing WIFI channel from 1, to 9 to 11. Nothing.
Moving router around (helped. When its closer to the machine it seems to work far better)
Shed tears - although lubricated my eyes, did nothing for the mac situation.
Going to repair permissions tonight and see what happens.
Any help???
P.s Desktop PC, and Laptop both work perfectly around the house on wifi
Thanks
