Is the computer going to sleep or into standby? |

where do I find that..it is a century link zyxel
It worked when they first set it up and then they had me put in a personal password and that is when it stopped working |
|
|
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? |
