MacBook Air wireless woe

Well, I am about 24 hours in on my first Mac experience, everything is great except for the wireless seems to send Safari into infinite loops from time to time, which kind of annoys me. I try rebooting and reconnecting a few times, the problem persists. Other devices (thinkpad, android & iphone) all works fine but MBA seems more vulnerable to dropping signal. My wireless G is using WPA-Personal, should I experiment with WEP or lesser security? When it does work, it connects at the same speed as other devices...so my problem is on the reliability side.

Also, i might disable "sleep" since it always reconnects after waking up and I believe it might be the source of problem I am dealing with now.

 

Ok, so i guess its just me then.

 

Are you running 10.7.1?

I did run software update, and it says no update available. I will have to go home and chevk which version i m running. I know it's lion for sure.

 

Yes, running 10.7.1.

I don't know if this is something to do with Microsoft Live Mesh, which I use to sync folder. If Apple offers similar service I would be more than happy to give it a try.

Is there a way I can manage the startup programs? The Live Mesh is supposed to work whenever a network is available.

 

stay with WPA2 security, I dont think it is Mesh as we have it on many 10.7.1 units at work with not a single issue. it may be a bad wireless card or something

have you tried using another browser?

 

nope i haven't tried other browser.

The thing is that Live Mesh doesn't run on startup for some reason. I want it to run at startup...any way I can manage the startup program?

 

Step 1:
On the Dock, just click on the "System Preferences"

Step 2:
Go to the "Accounts" control panel underneath the "System" heading.

Step 3:
Click on the lock symbol in the lower-left corner of the window, then enter your administrative username and password to authenticate changes.

Step 4:
Highlight the account that you want to configure automatic program launching for in the list on the left side of the window.

Step 5:
Go to the "Login Items" at the top the window

Step 6:
Click the plus symbol to add another application to the automatic launch settings

Step 7:
Highlight the program that you want to automatically launch, then hit "Add"

Step 8:
Save your settings by clicking on hit the lock symbol.

 

Rep'd!

It was actually on the login item list, but what I didn't do, and didn't know it has to be done that way, is that I have to drag (3-finger gesture) Live Mesh to applications folder while installing. I was buffled at the "Live Mesh -> Applications" pop-up windows...I didn't know what that was supposed to mean.
