[QUOTE="pdfpk, post: 711339, member: 64664"] Hey, I'm a relatively new Mac user, bought a MacBook Pro just a couple of months ago. I've been experiencing a problem with my AirPort. It appears that whenever I am running my MacBook on battery power and I am connected to the internet via AirPort, if I walk away and leave my Mac running, when i come back 5-10 mins later, AirPort has turned itself off! And the frustrating part is that I can't get it to turn back on! I click the "Turn AirPort On" on my top menu bar and nothing happens! I open the Network Preferences and attempt to turn it on there, but it doesn't work! The only way that I can get my AirPort to come back on is to restart the computer. After i do that, it's fine. The only thing I've figured out so far is that this only happens on battery power. When my Mac is plugged into the AC power, I can leave it alone for hours online, come back and it's still connected! Anybody know anything about this?? [/QUOTE]
