At first this would happen every 30 minutes or so, but a few days later it’s down to every 1-2 minutes. The Airport status icon would pulsate and indicate “No networks selected,” although it would still show my network (with a signal of about 3 bars) in the list below it. Everything is working fine (with the exception of a weak signal every so often – but there is a lot of wireless interference in this building, so it’s expected) then a few days ago the wireless connection would just disconnect suddenly. Ran into this same issue – at least I thought. We are getting really good download/upload speeds with the Verizon 4G MIFI hotspot. Now both Mac’s connect and stay connected to the MIFI. After that I selected a channel that didn’t conflict with any nearby wireless router. Used the System Profiler to display details about all of these had to select View->Refresh about 5 times before all of them displayed. There are about 7 wireless routers in the hood that we can see. The Airport router wouldn’t allow me to change the channel selection(certainly couldn’t change our neighbors wireless router) but was able to manually configure the MIFI to use a different channel. The Airport selects the channel automatically and so does the MIFI both were selecting channel 1. We spent a couple of hours on the phone with Verizon tech support they were nice but couldn’t fix the problem.Īfter a lot of poking around I found that there was a conflict between the channel used by our Airport router, a neighbors router and the MIFI hotspot. We couldn’t get either of our MacBook Pros to connect to to the WIFI hotspot.

We are still using Snow Leopard because we have some old Mac applications that won’t run under Lion. Just added a Verizon MIFI 4G hotspot so that my wife and I can use our Macs when we travel.

#OSX 10.6.8 SOFTWARE UPDATE CANNOT CONNECT TO INTERNET MAC OS X#
* Update to the latest version of Mac OS X ( 10.6.3 includes numerous Airport fixes) Some more Wireless connection troubleshooting tips:
#OSX 10.6.8 SOFTWARE UPDATE CANNOT CONNECT TO INTERNET INSTALL#
Update: Mac OS X 10.6.3 has been released and contains a few Airport bug fixes, it would be wise to install that software update in addition to trying these tips. Anyway, if you’re having any wireless connection problems in Snow Leopard 10.6 too, try these things out and see if it works for you as well. I know my wireless connection issues with Snow Leopard are a fluke here, I imagine it’s something unique to my network and router that only a few other users will encounter. Interestingly enough, I tried doing each of these things entirely on it’s own and it did not resolve the problem, it was the combination of everything that seems to have ‘fixed’ my airport connection problems. * Disabled “Wireless G only” Mode – what seems to have finally sealed the deal was disabling ‘Wireless G Only’ mode that I had set on my router, yea things could theoretically be a little slower but I haven’t noticed, and I’ll wait an extra millisecond or two for a webpage to load if it means I can use my MacBook wirelessly at home as intended. I logged into my wireless router and changed the wireless channel to a more obscure and unique one. * Change Wireless Channels – I noticed that a neighbor recently changed their wireless channel to the same one I was on, it’s a weak signal but can still cause interference. As long as you have the subnet mask, router, and DNS settings configured manually as well, this shouldn’t be a problem.

* Changed DHCP auto settings to manual – now I manually set my IP address on the network, I just set something high so it wouldn’t interfere with other DHCP machines.
