Wireless issue on Mac

    All of a sudden in the past few days my mac book pro has started losing the house's wireless connection very frequently? I've never had issue with it before...it's around one year old. It sees the network but I have to keep entering in the password to get on. I have selected the "remember this network" option also.

    I have an iPad and iPhone and neither of these lose the connection so the wireless router is not at fault.

    Has anyone experienced anything like this before or know of any steps I can take to find out where the problem is coming from??

    Cheers!
    :confused:

    When mine did this it was a bad Airport card.

    Hi Splash, I've had this happen to me twice recently-a few weeks apart from each other. I thought at first it was a broadband dropping issue, but after checking realized BB was working fine.I too had to input the wpa security password i have set up for my home network numerous times, but to no avail. The fix for this is to restart your Mac, which has worked for me on both occasions, and the wirless picks up automatically as it should! I'm sorry this doesn't tell you what the problem is- it could well be an issue that apple have to address in a future software update- but as there seems to be no consequences from this fix, I don't see a problem with it. hope this helps

    Could it be an IP problem? I've often experienced this when there's a mix of DHCP and manually assigned IPs on the network.
