I am not an experience mac user but trying to troubleshoot a macbook pro issue. &nbsp;I have a wlan setup at home. &nbsp; When i am done working at home i close the laptop (putting it in sleep mode). &nbsp;When i get to work i open it up and it takes a while to find the wlan and in some cases i have to restart and then it immediately connects to the wlan. &nbsp;Both the wlan for home and work are in the list of wlans. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Is it common for a macbook to spend time finding a new wlan when it comes out of sleep mode? &nbsp;Are there any solutions to speeding up the wlan connection time? &nbsp;Once connected performance is great. &nbsp;This macbook pro is about 1year old.<br />
<br />
thanks!

macbook pro connecting to wireless

Wireless networking is anything related to the transfer of data between two (or more) devices without the use of a physical connection, ranging from getting advice on a new Bluetooth headset to configuring sophisticated enterprise level networks.

Wireless Networking

Apple devices including Macs, iPhones, iPods and iPad support standard wired and wireless networking technologies, but they also utilize custom applications and some special techniques for networking with each other and with non-Apple devices. Apple manufacturers the AirPort line of wireless networking products, and has its own networking protocols, AppleTalk and AFP (Apple Filing Protocol).
