You need to distinguish whether its the router or the laptop before you can solve the issue. You can not just guess otherwise it makes it difficult for us to help you solve the issue. In the task bar it has the signal strength bar in green, is the bar still active when the connection drops? If it is still active after disconnecting then the router is doing its job and its something else.
Then its most likely a software issue, i.e. bad OS configuration or WIFI configuration. Otherwise if it was a hardware (router) issue it would disconnect on both MAC OS X and Windows.
Provide screenshots of your settings and configurations for the WIFI card.
well 1 I honestly dont know what the problems if I knew I would of fixed it myself more than likely, 2 I dont know what the problem is thats why I said I think it might ...MIGHT be a bad install on the OS or a router problem and would like to know what you guys thought since Im giving you guys possibilites. It is hard to distinguish a problem when I do not know it myself
I can explain more of what its doing? When I connect it stays on for a few seconds to about a minute then turns off, on the bottom right hand corner of the task bar the bars are still full but it says no internet access when I know there is. I disconnect it then reconnect it and it does the same thing. Other than that I can connect to another wireless network just fine, perfect actually and it doesnt disconnect
also sorry, I know im late been trying to fix it
Maybe a router setting ?. On my linksys router there is a optionj for how many times it sends out a signal to keep the connection alive.
If it's a distance issue which mine has when about 35 feet ( only noticable when streaming ) away a booster is required i believe.
Might help posting your wireless card and the router you are using too.
I am using a the wireless card that came with the macbook pro, the one thats built in
its not a distance thing cause Im pretty close to the router
