Upgrading to Lion has been a smooth, easy experience for many. For others, however, there’s been a few hiccups to say the least. One such hiccup for some is intermittent Wi-Fi dropouts.

As Cult Of Mac points out, there are a number of reasons as to why this issue could be happening for many users. Most likely it’s related to a driver issue with some Mac wireless cards and Lion. There’s a good chance that Apple will push an updated to Lion soon to fix this problem, alongside others.

They go on to point out some nice, simple tips to solving the issue:

Basic Wi-Fi troubleshooting tips in Lion:

1. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on in Airport on your Mac.
2. Reboot your Mac.
3. Reset your router.

Step 1 is definitely the first thing you should try to fix a bad Wi-Fi connection. Simply switching your wireless card on and off could very well fix any wonky connection between your router and Mac.

Step 2 could reset some settings on your Mac that may have carried over from Snow Leopard and caused conflicting issues with Airport, but that’s far-fetched. Rebooting your machine is really just the most basic thing you can do to see if something can be easily corrected.

Reseting your router (unplug it for about 15-30 seconds) will theoretically fix any issues specifically related to your router not playing nice with Lion.

It all seems simple enough. That is until Apple pushes out there own fix…which hopefully comes within the next week or so. Have you experienced any Wi-Fi issues with Lion? If so, did any of the fixes above solve your issues? Let us know…we’d love to hear your feedback.
