For the last few months, my Macbook Pro (Mid-2009 model) has continuously and randomly dropped wifi. At first, simply restarting it fixed this. Eventually, I ran into the "Wifi: No Hardware Installed" Message at the top, where the wireless symbol at the top would be a solid gray with a white "X" through the middle instead of little bars. I did every suggestion I could find here and on other forums, and eventually read that the antenna for wifi was in a funky place, and I found that if (sounds weird!) I move the screen just right and hold my thumb down on the bottom corner of the left side of the screen, it gave me my signal back. This worked for a while, since my screen was starting to come apart slightly, so keeping a "chip clip"-like thing on the bottom left corner kept it from returning. Lately, nothing has been keeping this issue at bay. I rely on my laptop for work as a webmaster and website designer, so this is very frustrating to me. I was wondering if there was some way to disable the internal wifi antenna and only use an external (usb may be?) antenna for my wifi connection. I find a lot of conflicting reports on whether this works or not, and was just curious if anyone has any experience with this or advice for me! Thank You
