Mine keeps dropping wifi fairly regularly. Since the last update it's not been solved, even though it was supposed to.

It might be an issue with the iMac nano too, but I'm not sure.

Anyone else having issues? I have extended AppleCare but ideally I don't want to use my MBP for work for a week if it's not a separate issue.

Fanks.

 

[Stu-]

Mines been fine pet!

 

[jenic]

No issues here either.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Mine's recently started doing this too. Come home from work and it's lost wifi. But then I just select my network and it's fine again.

 

[Christopher]

Yeah, if I disable it briefly then re-enable it then it's fine for another 4-5 hours.

I use mine all day, every day; so maybe I notice it more than most?

 

[Stu-]

Do you guys leave yours on all the time? I only have mine on for an hour or so at a time so probably why it's not doing it.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Mine is pretty much left on 24/7. It would probably loose connection every two days or so.

 

[Stu-]

I'll leave mine on tonight and tomorrow and see if it does it!

Mine's never off. It's on all day then gets set to sleep for the evening.

In fact, the only time it's ever off is when an update forces a restart. Lol.

 

[Stu-]

:nono: Haha. I'll leave it on and see what happens. Your is older than mine isn't it?

 

[Christopher]

Mid-2010 i7

 

[Feirny]

Mine's been doing it the last week or so, only when I initially turn it on though. Have to manually select the network.

Mid-2010 i7

Ah, mines mid '11 -i7.


Xbox turnips?

 

[Turkish]

Didn't someone suggest it may be related to router switching channel and the mac needing a prompt if it's been left idle/disconnected during a period where it's switched?

 

[Revels]

Wired FTW.

 

[Munson]

You tried using a fixed IP instead of DHCP?

 

[dk]

Hmmm, since I updated my mbp last week I've being having dodgy wifi, random disconnects and taking a little longer to join the networks etc, and sometimes not running as fast, been solid since I bought it up until the updates updates last week.

 

[Adam.]

My MBP was always a bit sketchy but since last week it has been horrendus.

 

[Nickson]

We had a few brand new MBP's at work regularly drop the wireless.

Had to have them replaced as nothing we did changed the way they were behaving.

 

[Christopher]

Hmmm. My wireless is solid so there's no issues there.

I'll call AppleCare tomorrow then. Might as well.

 

[TimR26]

My mid 2011 27" is fine.

I've had a problem with my wifi for the past few weeks now on my MBP. The issue was when I closed the lid / put to sleep, I would open it up and it just would not pick up any connection. I was due to go to the Apple store, then I ran a software update that morning and appeared to fix it. Worked perfect for about 24 hours then started to see problems again.

Perhaps unrelated to yours, but sounds like a few have had issues.

 

[LIL B]

2012 model should be out soon - lots of nice features too.

 

[Mitchell]

Mine is exactly the same. Had no issues before the 'fix' and since then it has been really bad! Every 5 mins or so it will drop...

Funnily enough, my MBP has been being a bit of a pain too.

It says it's connected, but doesn't do anything.

A restart solves it for a little while, then it drops again.

Love it when a fix for some people's issues f***s it up for other people. Same happened when I updated my xbox and got the red ring of death immediately after, nothing to do with the update apparently, no, nothing to do with it, it's just a coincidence that me and thousands of other people experienced the same.
