Internet turns off every 10-15 minutes

I have just moved into a 3 bedroom flat in the centre of Liverpool.
All 3 of us share a BT Internet connection with a BTHub 2.0
However, every 10-15 minutes we all lose connection and have to reset the router, eventhough the router says everything is working.
I have tried changing the channel of the router to a less busy channel but this doesnt seem to have done anything.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

but are you all connected wireless or wired?  if wireless is the router still connected to the internet?
if you have not tried this already you can try downloading inssider3 (istumbler if MAC) and then run it. This will show the broadcasting networks round about you and their channels including your own. If you then enter your router and change your wireless channel to a free or less congested channel.

  • My 2009 Macbook Pro turns off every 5-15 minutes

    Yeah, the problem started happening a couple of months ago, but it wasn't that big of a deal. I found that if I were to turn it off nightly it would behave better. It was fine for a while, but as of late it will shut off about every 5-15 minutes.It was getting finiky too, if someone bumped the desk funny it would turn off. I tried resetting the SMC but that doesn't seem to have fixed it.
    Any ideas? I've thought about doing a clean install of the OS again, but it seems like it might be a hardware problem, so that probably wouldn't work.

    I would suggest making an appointment at the nearest Apple Store Genius Bar or Apple Authorized Service Provider. What you are describing seems to show a problem with hardware.
    To make an Genius Bar appointment check:

    To find your nearest Apple Service Provider check the link below and then click the "Service" box. There you will be able to put your location.

    It might not hurt to run the Apple Hardware Test that came with your Mac's OS & Application Software DVDs and note down any errors reported by it. For more information about the AHT visit:

    Hope this helps!

  • Why does my internet turn off every 2-4 hours

    I have had this problem for 1 year now no ones ever helped me to actually fixed it.
    Every 2-4 hours i have to restart my router or modem. I have tried doing the firmware updates maybe theres something wrong with the thing im doing with the firmware i've tried a different router and modem i have tried a new ethernet cord to connect my modem and router i have unplugged my mac and tryed just with my pc and same wit my mac turned off p.c. and left mac on. I have changed the screensaver settings. I have moved my modem and router away from any phones. Maybe not far enough away. I have tried changing the channel. I've been trouble shooted by some the highest apple people in the organization and that only worked for 3 months im not paying anything more. My base station router is still green when this happens. My modem isn't flashing rogers has never helped me enough to resolve this. I think i might have tried everything if you have any comments on what maybe i did wrong or if theres something i could do im begging this is ******* me

    Hello My internet *****. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Does this problem happen even if you have your Mac connected directly to the modem? If so, the problem is most likely either the modem, the cable in the house, the cable between the house and where it comes from your ISP on the street, or between this last location and the ISP.
    Rogers should be able to test this connection all the way to the modem. In addition, they should also verify that the output from the modem is consistent.

  • My wireless connection (MacBook Pro) keeps on randomly turning off every 2-3 minutes and each time I have to reset connection to my personal network

    Hey
    I just got a new MacBook Pro a few days ago and set it up on my home wireless network. But the Wi-Fi keeps on switching off and on randomly - literallly every 2 minutes or so - and I have to check my personal network again so I could get back online. I looked through settings and network preferences/diagnostics to make sure I set up my own network account right and all looks normal.
    Why does Wi-Fi switch off/on so often and so randomly? what can I do?
    Thanks in advance for the help!

    There is a small PRAM battery (different from the main battery) on the logic board that maintains those settings. Yours needs to be replaced. You can try to do it yourself, but I suggest you have it done at an Apple Store or another authorized service outlet.

  • HT-CT80 turns off every 15 minutes when connected to a bluetooth device

    Hi, My HT-CT80 turns off every 15 minutes when connected to any bluetooth device. Is that the auto standby feature? If its connected to a bluetooth device, I guess it is receiving input? Any suggestions please?

  • IPhone 3G turns off every few minutes with new OS

    Greetings all,
    Apologies for not introducing myself in advance but I just want to get this issue fixed. I upgraded my iPhone to OS 4 and now the main issue is that when it is not plugged in it will just turn off after a few minutes of being idle. If I actually use it (i.e. keep the screen on) it won't turn off - its only a minute or two after the screen turns off that the iPhone actually turns off. I suspect this is a crash because I have to hold down the Power Button and Home Button in order to get it working again.
    However, if its plugged in it won't turn off! How useful! I've read over some topics (and still am reading them, thanks for all the help) but I'm not getting anywhere. I've deleted the ipsw file and re-downloaded it to no avail and am considering trying a new user account on Windows 7.
    Are other people having this issue? I was going to upgrade to the newest iPhone and give this to my little sister, but I don't think I'll upgrade now. She's rather upset about this.
    Thanks,
    Discopanda.

    Make a backup, if possible.  Restore it as new, if possible.  If issue persists, or you are unable to do either of those previous steps, consult Apple.

  • Screen turns off after a few minutes and needs to be closed then opened

    hi, as the title suggests my powerbook screen turns off after a few minutes before my screensaver is set to come on and when i come back and press a key or move the pad it wont start up so i need to close the powerbook then open it up again for it to activate. its not a huge problem but my programs which connect to the internet seem to lose their connection when i open it up again. is this normal? is there a setting i can change?
    thanks

    Is there a way to "disable" Standby, Suspend and Off just when watching movies (in fullscreen or not)? I want them to do what they usually do in all other cases.
    Setting them to 0 in xorg.conf does the thing, but I need that functionality only when I'm wathing movies. Making a script that alters adjustments in xorg.conf isn't the best solution - you'd have to restart X every time you want to watch a movie .
    Cheers,

  • Iphone 4 turn off every few min

    I bought a new iphone 4 and I immediatly found out that it turns off every few min and startup again by it self ..
    I don't know if it's a hardware or a software problem !
    and I travled away from the country which I bought it from
    what can I do ???

    even i am facing this problem from last 1 month and the only answer i receive is get it replaced from Apple. I can't understand what people like us should do as we don't have this warranty. Also i have seen end no of iphone users having the same problem but there is no answer from Apple as how come new iphone's that is also in such large nos are having this unique problem of getting restarted in 3 to 4 minutes. It is for sure that they know there is something is wrong with their product and thats why they replace as soon as customer complains but what people like us will do if they don't have warranty....I think atleast Apple should tell us what the exact problem is????????????????????????????????????

    Already gone through troubleshooting guide a zillion times. Thanks.

    This worked for me... A little time consuming but once you get rolling it goes GREAT... Thanks....
    I got my artwork and saved it to my Desktop
    Opened up Microsoft Paint and clicked on "File" and "Open" and found it to get it on the screen to resize it
    Clicked "resize" and a box for changing it opened up
    Checked the box "Pixels" and "Unchecked maintain aspect ratio"
    Set Horizontal for 640 and Vertical for 480
    Clicked on "OK" and went back to "File" and did a "Save As" and chose JPEG Picture
    It came up "File Already Existed" and clicked "OK" (really did not care about the original artwork I found because wrong size)
    Went to iTunes and on the movie right clicked on "Get Info", clicked on "Details", then "Artwork"
    Go to the little box on the top left that shows your old artwork and click on it to get the little blue border to appear around it and hit "Delete" to make it gone
    Click on "Add Artwork" and find it where you put the one from above on your Desktop and hit "Open" and OK and your new artwork is now there and all good.
    Sounds like a lot of steps to follow but after around 5 or so you will fly through it. This worked perfect on my iPhone 6 Plus and I have artwork on my Home Videos now.

  • My ipod only goes to the apple screen and freezes then turns off after about a minute. Is this fixable?

    My ipod only goes to the apple screen and freezes then turns off after about a minute. Is this fixable?

    Try a system reset.  It's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

  • Wireless radio turns off every 2 minutes

    I have a Thinkpad Z60t, running Windows XP.
    I have the physical wireless switch on the side panel set to the on position (i.e. to the right).
    Initially, I am able to connect to any wireless network without a problem. However, after about 2 minutes of not actively using the internet, the green "wireless radio" status light on the front panel turns off and I lose my internet connection. I then have to do "Fn + F5" (or ThinkVantage button -> Manage My Connections -> Power On/Off Wireless Radios) to turn it back on (and get the status light to be green again). I then have to reconnect to the wireless network.
    I believe this is a common issue. I have tried several suggestions I found on other forums, including ThinkVantage button -> Manage My Connections -> Select Location Profiles -> Open Access Connections -> Configure -> Location Switching -> UNSELECT "Enable automatic location switching". This method actually seemed to work for a few hours, but then stopped.
    I am certain that my wireless network is stable - my roommate's laptop does not lose the signal every 2 minutes like I do. I think my laptop's wireless radio automatically shuts off after 2 minutes of no use, and this feature needs to be disabled somehow.
    Please help. I am getting frustrated of having to manually reconnect every 2 minutes.

    Go to Solution.

    open control panel, go under system, hardware/system property, then go into the device manager.
    Under the wireless card property (right click on the wireless card and select property), there are settings for roaming aggressiveness, power saving and power output.
