How do i force Snow Leopard to remember my network?

Av8 · 14 Oct 2009 at 20:27

As above really, i'm having problems since upgrading to Snow Leopard with my macbook after i open the screen back up basically from sleep. I have the airport extreme base station which can use both 2.4ghz or 5ghz band, i'm wanting to use my macbook on the 5ghz band because it supports it and i get all my other wireless gadgets to use the 2.4ghz. So i'm having to select the 5ghz band everytime i reconnect.

Anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening and what can i do to resolve this. I have tried deleting certain settings in both system preferences > network & the settings in airport utility.

Thanks in advance av8

Yup i certainly have made it the default for my macbook, in the preferred networks section of system preferences. I've messed around with some different settings too, then deleted others to try to make them work. Even returned to default settings and started again.
I believe that Apple are releasing a new update, and one part of that update is to do with networking etc. Hope that helps.

Ok i've done a re-install of snow leopard and this is still happening, after opening the screen the macbook still connects to the 2.4ghz network instead of the 5ghz band that i want. Does anyone else have anymore idea's please?
Thanks

Still struggling with this issue, even after a re-install of SL.

I've also tried resetting the airport extreme, can't understand why it was fine with Leopard.
