Lose connection to wifi every few minutes, after iOS 7.1 update

I just recently updated my iPad to iOS 7.1
My iPad is the model w retina display, cellular capable but with the data plan currently disabled.
Immediately following that update, I can no longer stay connected to my home wifi. My connection lasts from 30 seconds to maybe 10 minutes, seemingly dependent on the amount of load I attempt to put on the connection. (i.e. downloading a movie or any video will drop the connection in seconds)
I have updated the firmware on both my wifi router, and my wifi range extender. Connecting to either gives the same results: a disconnect within minutes.
Other devices can connect and stay connected on both the wifi router and the wifi extender. Resetting the router, the extender, my ipad, or any combination yields the same erroneous results. Airplane Mode, wifi off then back on, and rebooting the ipad all yield the same results.
This iPad was able to maintain a connection before the iOS 7.1 update.

Hello omniges
Continue your troubleshooting with the article below. Try forgetting the network by going to Settings > Wi-Fi, and tap the info button and then tap Forget this Network. You also may want to reset the network settings on your iPad as well

Why does my iPad keep losing the wifi every few minutes?

Why does my iPad keep losing the wireless connection every few minutes?

Screen shots off every few minutes after upgrade to 10.6.3

After upgrading to 10.6.3 my screen shots off every few (ca. 5) minutes when I hit either the mouse button or any key. The screen comes back by itself after about 2 minutes, the rest of the iMac continues to work (print jobs finalize, keybaord entries are recognized etc.).
Is this a known problem of 10.6.3 or is it just coincidence and simple a HW problem?

Try giving more details...was it any specific key; did you click the mouse in any place in particular? Was the mouse cursor in a corner of the screen (Hot Corners)?
You can try a Hardware Test to see if it actually is hardware-related. But if you've not seen it before, that's unlikely.
If you can't fix it, you can try to re-install 10.6.3 from the Combo update.

Ipad is not connecting to wifi in sleep mode after iOS 6 update

I used to be able to receive FaceTime calls when ipad was in sleep mode but ever since this past update I don't. I had problems like everyone else wi connecting to the Internet but I was able to fix that. Is there any way the ipad can stay connected while in sleep mode.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

IPhone reboots every 15 minutes after iOS 6.1.2 upgrade

"Reboots" is the best way to describe it. Every 15 minutes or so, my iPhone suddenly goes to the Apple logo over black and back to my passcode screen (though doesn't stay on the logo as long as during a manual reboot). Doesn't matter if the phone is sleeping or being used. This started happening after I updated to 6.1.2 directly on the phone. Unfortuantely, I didn't do a manual back-up before updating as I've been relying on automatic iCloud backups.
Any advice?

Standard troubleshooting...
Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the red slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
Remove all apps from Recently Used list...
- From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
- Tap and hold any icon in this list until they wiggle
- Press the red to delete apps from this list.
- Press the home button twice when done.
If still a problem restore with your backup.
If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

Crashing every few minutes

My computer keeps crashing every few minutes after restart. Did the upgrade. Server no longer works either

You have a lot of ??? in that crash report, indicating systemwide problems.
Start with this:
Repairing permissions is important, and should always be carried out both before and after any software installation or update.
Go to Disk Utility (this is in your Utilities Folder in your Application folder) and click on the icon of your hard disk (not the one with all the numbers).
In First Aid, click on Repair Permissions.
This only takes a minute or two in Tiger, but longer in Leopard.

An article on troubleshooting Permissions can be found here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2963
If you were having any serious problems with your Mac you might as well complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.

BT Homehub 2 dropping connection every few minutes

Hi, my homehubs been working perfectly until today when it started dropping the connection every few minutes (ranging from 3 minutes up to 13). The broadband and phone lights go out then orange and then back to blue after about a minute.
Having browsed the forums etc Ive changed the location of the hub, changed channels, checked cabling and changed the microfilter.
Im now at a bit of a loss. The firmware is Version 8.1.H.J (Type A) and i notice that the firmware updated on todays date.
Im hoping someone has some ideas as im all out now.
Thanks

I have the same problem friday afternoon at 4.30 to 11.30 at night the router reset itself every five minutes ....the prob first started in nov 2010 i have had 3 home engineer visits and finally we might be getting somwhere it looks like its caused by interferance on the line the phones fine its the broadband ,looking at the engineers meter it was running fine then all of a sudden it spikes erros 21,000 of them the router reboots and steadys again .......somthings causing line interferance it could be anything a pir on a security light ,a street lamp with a faulty timer ,there has even been a case where a car tyre garage has had its broadband removed by sombodys faulty tv .......
the engineer fitted a resistor box under the wall socket and ran the wires through it to the socket ...this is disigned to filter out certain frequencies of line pollution but not all ......it seems to be working its only shut down twice tonight and that could be the exchange mucking about as they are continuing to monitor the problem ......HOPING ....... oh he also removed the front of the wall socket and fitted me a dsl one with a separate phone socket hence doing away with the dsl filter ......................

Troubleshooting Wi-Fi issues

IOS 6.1.1 wifi gets dissconnected every few minutes

I updated my 4s yesterday with the new IOS and now, my wifi is getting dissconnected every few minutes. The most frustrating thing is that I have to enter the password of my home wifi everytime it gets dissconnected.

Yes I'm having the same issue since the latest iOS update. My wifi reception has dropped substantially - 2 or even 1 "bars" in places in the home where it was full reception. It drops out repeatedly, stopping podcast downloads.
I have both a router and a range extender and the problem exists with both of them. It also exists if I try to connect to public wifi - completely unusable...
But also, I use bluetooth headphone a lot, and the reception for them has plummeted to the point where continually drop out even when the phone is in my shirt pocket - i.e. just 30cm from the headphones. Before the update, the reception was halfway through the house!.
I know it wasn't the headphones causing this because I thought so and took them back for exchange under warranty, and the new ones are exactly the same.
So both wireless reception and bluetooth transmission strength have gone down the toilet following this iOS update.
Is Apple doing anything about this? It seems the communities are full of similar complaints...

Firefox loses internet every few minutes

Everytime I use Firefox, its always worked fine, but this has been starting when the latest update came out. Every few minutes, Firefox seems to lose internet on me, meaning I can't go to any other pages, load videos, or refresh the page. All actions are halted and the only way to get Firefox to start up again is to close the current application and open it back up again, but the same thing happens after I do that.
So when this happens, im not getting a crash ID, but I checked anyway and my latest crash ID is listed below. So far, I haven't seen any fix or anybody else having the issue in the help menu.

Alright this is OP/Jim, since nobody here knew what to do I had to figure it out by myself, this is what the problem is, you have a hidden virus in your computer, this was my problem anyway. Ill take the people who have this problem through a step by step guide:
1. Go to Google type in "Superanti spyware" and download the free edition, let it run and see what the results are, make sure to check "remove selected" before the scan starts.
2. If everything looks fine their, then go online and search ESET virus scanner and do another virus scan there. This step should only be done if the 1st step fails to find any viruses which I doubt it will
3. Now go online and download Malwarebytes anti virus and run a quick scan, this should eliminate any further viruses you have in your computer and everything, including Firefox should run without losing internet.
Enjoy.

I lose cellular network on my iPhone 5s every few minutes. In fact, I barely have cellular network snce updating to iOS 8.0.2. There must be some fix for this. It's ridiculous!

I keep getting kicked off of my wifi on my macbook pro. It is the wifi in my house. I get kicked off like every few minutes or so. Why is this and how can I stop it?

I keep getting kicked off of my wifi on my macbook pro. It is the wifi in my house. I get kicked off like every few minutes or so. Why is this and how can I stop it?

I think the other devices are fine. I'm not sure. It usually only happens like a couple days out of the week. I do know that the network I'm using when I click on the wifi symbol at the top of my screen doesn't have a padlock on it. It IS MY network that is at my house, but maybe that has something to do with it.

After Effects CS6 hangs for about 20 seconds every few minutes or so.

I'm using AE CS6 and every few minutes (anywhere from 5 to 20) it'll just hang for about 20 seconds. The spinning Windows 7 wheel pops up, then when I click AE it goes transparent white and "not responding" pops up in the title bar. I wait about 20 seconds and everything returns to normal. I can't figure out WHAT could be causing this as there's no log or error to really check.
32 gigs of RAM on a Xeon E3 v2 Ivy Bridge chip. 660 Ti Nvidia card. Windows 7 Pro.
It's such a weird vague problem, that I don't know how to troubleshoot it. Multiprocessing of frames is turned off. 24 gigs allocated to AE.

Figured it out, at least so far. I upped the amount of GPU RAM it was allowing AE to use. I swear I did this before, but apparently didn't. So now..no hangs. I'm sure at some point I'll work on a hefty enough project to bottleneck the GPU, but at least I'm good for now.

My Airport Express Disconnect From the Cable Every Few Minutes

Hello,
I have had an Airport Express for 3 years and it sometimes disconnects after a few minutes. Actually, it more looks like that the Airport crashes: the "PC Link" light on the cable modem goes off, the Airport lights go off and I cannot find my Airport Network any more on my computer.
When this happens, I can either unplug it from the power and plug it back in, or simply move the Airport around a little bit, and it will re-start. Sometimes the problem does not re-occur for a few hours or days, sometimes it keeps happening every few minutes and of course drives me crazy...
Is it because ... :
- ... my Airport has a faulty connection and I should replace it?
- ... there are power surges in my electricity installation (eg this seems to happen when I or my neighbors have air conditioners on, I live in one of those old New York buildings), and I should get an anti-surge device, or a newer Airport would deal with this better?
- ... of something else?
Thanks for your help!

First, my mistake: I have an Airport Extreme base, not Express.
Second, I am sorry, I do not think it is interference.
I lose the connection to the CABLE, not the base, it's like the BASE crashes. How is that interference? It's not about the signal but about the connection to the cable. The cable MoDem does tell me that the connection is lost, as I said ("PC Link" does not blink anymore).
Finally, there is nothing in direct proximity of the Airport Extreme base that looks likely to do this: the computer and the base are 6ft apart, there is no microwave, no power line, no cordless phone, no bulletproof indow ...
Any better idea, anyone?
