I have a 2Wire wireless modem that I use with SBC Yahoo! high speed internet. And of course there's the AirPort on my iBook.
My problem is that every once in a while the wireless connection between my iBook and the modem seems to "die". It's usually when my iBook has been off or in sleep mode and I open it back up or turn it back on, and the connection is dead. I'll open Network Diagnostics and half the time all I have to do is a couple of steps into that and it recognizes the connection and corrects itself, and I'm back online.
However, the other half the time I will go all the way through the process and all it says is to restart my modem and if that doesn't work to contact my service provider. Well I know it's not an issue on their part and my modem doesn't need to be restarted because the desktop which is connected to it via ethernet is working fine. I click the network in the drop down box too, it asks for a password and when I give the CORRECT password it says error connecting anyway. What's going on and how do I fix this? Any one able to help me?
