Title: Mac Mini wireless fun!
Post by: Shuri on February 17, 2008, 02:33:48 PM

So I bought a mac mini about a month ago, and I only got around to really using it about two weeks ago, I ran into a weird problem.. if my machine falls to sleep mode (Which happens a lot), upon waking up, the wireless network manager will always tell me that the connection to my wifi router has been lost. But for some reasons, it's completly unable to see it; the only way to get around this is to reboot the machine, which is certainly unnaceptable  :maf

The problem is always very widespread:

Did anyone ever run into that problem on the 'Bore?

Misleading thread title.  That does not sound like fun.

shuri - what happens if you turn the wifi off and then on?

I sometimes have that problem in my office behind these Cisco enterprise access points...ill close my notebook, put it to sleep and then go into a meeting - when i wake it, i cant rejoin the network often until i turn wifi off and then back on using the icon in the top menu bar.

I've owned a Mac Mini for 2 years and I never had problems with wireless.  I did have problems with the sleep issues.

I got about 4-5 devices that uses wifi working fine on it. It's really an issue with the sleep mode.
