Wifi problems abroad

[paul arenson]

 
Hi from Ronda Spain
Hard to use Ipod Touch to type, especially as Safari Browser quits and input in web interface is slow. But now typing in Notes and will try pasting. 

Until now at 2 hotels wife's Macbook model A1181 could connect fine. Here at this place and entering password the message Time Out appears. But Ipod Touch has no problem-Do you think this means her computer just has poor sensitivity with weaker  signal?

Tried moving to other hotel locations but no change. Anyone have an idea how to get it to work or is it just shoganai? Wonder if there is a way to turn ourselves into human antennas?

Wonder if the card could somehow have come loose.  I also get told there isno air utility even though the computer clearly detects the wifi router. Just times out. Argh! I hate typing on the IPod Touch!

Some wifi systems just don't play well with Macs - which OS  - OS previous to 10.6 are sometimes not so good - or the signal is just not good enough for you to hook in.

I run across lots of different wifi problems when I travel.

Often get what looks like a full signal, but no actual connection.

Well, will have to wait till back in Japan I guess. Signal IS strong enough for this IPod touch. Anyway, she is only up to 10.58.
