Try to set different channel for your AirPort wifi because of bluetooth. I have Magic TrackPad and my wifi was dropping down all the time on my iMac with Mac OS X Lion. If I turned off bluetooth, wifi goes like Schumacher.

So I set my 2.4 GHz wifi to channel 13 (from 1) and everything is going well.

“Unlike prior versions of the Mac OS, Mac OS X does not store network settings in PRAM. If you experience a network issue, resetting PRAM will not help.”

I have been searching for 2 weeks on fixing my wi-fi issues. I knew it was in my Mac and not the router as others on the router were OK. This is only article I found that went into sufficient depth to fix my Mac. I only needed to reset my PRAM but this is well and truly bookmarked. Thanks

I am having problems using the “internet sharing” feature of my macbook. I have internet through a USB modem/dongle, ISP is verizon. Internet is fine on my macbook. I want to use internet sharing so I can get my ipad and roku box on the internet. Went through the steps and set up “internet sharing” just fine. created a network and password. My devices see the network, are prompted for a password, and connect successfully. But no internet signal is transmitted!
firewall is off…
I noticed the IP that airport was getting starts with 169. Tried to manually change it to 10.0.0.1 or the IP address of the USB modem itself (starts with 75.)
nothing seems to get the internet working. Spent so many hours searching for an answer! can anyone please help?

Hi there i had the same issue but managedto solve the issue. It was the firewall on the laptop the was stopping the redirection that occures when you log into the hotels website. So i basically added the ips of the hotel as safe and then it was ok.

After trying absolutely everything else, this appears to have worked for me. I have a Netgear CVG824V3 cable router through Optus Australia. Thanks for sharing.

Thanx allot! This finally got my macbook pro back online after almost a week offline. All the other gadgets still had a connection, so it had to be a local issue. It worked after i Deleted the Wireless Config files and trashed the home directories SystemConfiguration.
