fixing bad airport on macbook

I recently wrote a post, describing my problems getting online with my macbook. And being an addict to the online existence, it's was like going cold turkey for a while. Until I discovered a way to use third party equipment to sustain my daily online fix.

But unfortunately the software would instill crashes and odd behavior upon my poor little apple branded laptop, so another solution would be necessity to find.

Luckily the internet has the answers for everything; and so this article gave me the answer to my troubles:

1. Go to Finder > Macintosh HD > Library > Preferences
2. Pull SystemConfiguration folder onto the desktop
3. Restart
4. Go System Preferences > Network
5. Select “New Location” under the Location drop down menu and give it a name
6. Select “Airport” under the show drop down menu
7. Go to By default, join: and you can leave it on automatic or with preferred networks and select or add your network
8. Click “Apply Now” and all should hopefully be golden
9. If all is good, trash the folder on your desktop

Thanks to Daily Tech!
