Is the ssid hidden ?MAC os 10.7 and above has issues connecting to a hidden=
ssid, I haven't seen them connect and then drop, they usually will not con=
nect and then will start connecting.
Not sure if this helps or not

Subject: Newer Macs Dropping Wireless
We've been hearing about an issue with Macs on our campus, mostly newer one=
s with Lion and above, dropping their wireless connections after an hour of=
being connected. We thought it might have been related to the lease time f=
rom our DHCP server. We had an hour lease on all wireless IP addresses. We =
have since increased it to 2 hours, but many of our students (including tho=
se who work for me) have mentioned it still drops after about an hour. If i=
t matters, we use Aruba for our wireless (though I am not really involved o=
n the network side of things, so I can't really tell you more than that).
PC's have no problems. Macs running Windows from a Boot Camp partition also=
have no problems.
Has anyone else out there seen a similar issue? If so, how did you resolve =
it?
Thanks,
Jim
