Problems connecting to WiFi

routerwifi

Quite often my computer has trouble connecting to my home WiFi.

Sometimes once started, the computer does not find the WiFi on available networks. Sometimes it will find it, try to connect, then get "connection timeout" and WiFi disappears. Only way to fix it is shutdown and hope next time it will work.

During that time my iPhone is connected normally. This happens with both MBPs i got. Any suggestions as to what could cause this?

The router is d-link dsl-2640r

I had a similar problem.

In my case when I pulled down the airport icon it saw the connection, but would then not connect. Along the way to not connecting it would ask me to enter my password. Even after entering the proper password it would not connect.

I finally solved the problem by going in to /Application/Utilities/Keychain Access.app and deleting my home wifi's stored password.

The next time I connected - it asked for the password and from that point on it has connected just fine.
