How do I keep my network connection alive Mac?
Your Mac can not be connected to a WiFi network and be asleep at the same time. You can avoid full sleep by setting your Computer Sleep to Never. Your MacBook will then sleep all the sub-systems possible when idle, but will remain awake enough to maintain a WiFi network connection.
What is Wake for network access on Mac?
When the “Wake for network access” checkbox is selected, your Mac wakes at the following times:

- At regular intervals so that your Mac can notify other computers on the network that its resources are available.
Why does my MacBook keep dropping the wireless connection?
Users have reported that they can connect to a wireless network from their Mac running Windows via bootcamp just fine, but when they switch to OS X, they connection drops. If you’re running Lion and you know it’s not a hardware problem, try removing any unnecessary software that could be interfering.
Why is my MacBook not connecting to the Internet?
Macs, like any computer, are vulnerable to losing their Wi-Fi connections. If you have reset your router, found that other devices are connecting to it, and your Mac is still refusing to go online, then it’s pretty certain that the issue stems from the Mac itself.
Why does my network connection drop every so often?
Sometimes they get it wrong. Most home and office networks run at either 10 or 100 megabits per second (mbs). Just how the network devices tell the difference varies from one device to the next. Most will also monitor the speed continuously just in case it changes.
What should I do if my internet keeps dropping offline on my Mac?
If the cables and power are good, unplug both the modem and router to power them down and then plug them back in to restart them. Wait a few minutes for the network to become available again and attempt to connect. If you’re using an Ethernet cable to connect your Mac to the Internet, use a new cable.
