No internet connection without power supply


Recommended Posts

Hi guys

I really hope someone in here can help me with this strange problem.

My MacBook Pro (Late 08 model) is hooked up to my wireless internet connection and it has full strength. The internet works fine as long as i have the power supply connected. When i disconnect my power supply though, its a different story. I'm still connected to the wireless network at full strength, but whenever i try to go to the internet it gives me "Page Not Found". If i then connect the power supply again and press F5, it loads the page without any problems.

I'm at a loss here as i have no idea what to do. I just did a complete reinstall with no success. The problem persists.

Really don't see how power is related to your wireless :s doesn't sound correct to me.

Things to check, IP address is still there, with subnet mask and default gateway..

When you connect the power supply in a different room does it to the same thing.

Take the laptop right up to the access point without the power supply and disable wireless and reconnect again.

Edit: looks like it could be an issue: https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=808218
