I have to keep connecting to the internet (wireless)

Every time I turn on my computer I have to hit connect to the internet. If I walk away and not doing anything with it for a few minutes it will disconnect and i have to hit connect again. Please help!

That's good enough.

When was this and who is they?

If it was working before, I suspect some thing is timing out.

Can you get back into the modem setting?

Do you know what your operating system is? (Windows 7, 8, or ?)

Well, shoot. I can't help you. The only Apple product I've ever touched was the original Shuffle.

Really sorry. But with patience, someone here can help. Else, you might try chatting with CL tech support again...

Disable the wireless password on your modem & see if that solves your problem
Log into the modem
Select Wireless Setup > Wireless Security
After Security Type: select Security Off from the drop-down menu
Select Apply to save the changes

You may want to try changing the channel that your wifi router uses (try 1, 6 or 11). It's possible that a nearby network is using a similar channel to yours and is causing interference.

I have changed it in order to try and get a stronger signal. We have another macbook pro and that one you do not have to click connect?
