Losing wireless network connection

Every time I turn off my iMac or reboot into windows vista, I lose my network connection on my Apple TV. I have to log in with my password. This is a real hassle. Any fixes or work arounds?

think you should state how you connect your appletv
if it's to a router that should not happen
if you connect ad hoc then thats how it would react and you can really change that unless you get a router to connect to

Imac keeps losing wireless network connection when awoken from sleep mode

I recently did a archive and install on my Imac and I am still trying to get the kinks out.
Since I did the archive and install, my Imac loses it connection to our wireless router. I assume it isn't renewing its DHCP lease. In order to get a connection again, I have to restart my cable modem and my wireless router.
My network settings are set to join preferred networks by default. My default preferred network is listed and the security parameters have been fulfilled. I am set up to use DHCP in Imac preferences.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, See if this helps...
Go to System Preferences
Click Network
Highlight AirPort and click Configure...
Choose “By default, join: Preferred networks”
Select your access point.
Remove your access point with the little minus sign. Launch your keychain access in Utilities and delete your access point keychain entry.
Add it in again after a reboot.

Netsh does not work to set IP address of "Wireless Network Connection"

On Windows 7 Professional
This set of commands work for configuring the "Local Area Connection"
netsh interface ip set address name="local area connection" static 74.94.87.157 255.255.255.248 74.94.87.158 1
netsh interface ip set dns name="local area connection" static 8.8.8.8
netsh interface ip add dns name="local area connection" 68.87.77.130 index=2
BUT for the WiFi connection, this command errors with this message "ELEMENT NOT FOUND"
netsh interface ip set address name="Wireless Network Connection" static 74.94.87.157 255.255.255.248 74.94.87.158 1
BUT the 2 following dns commands DO work for the Wifi Connection.
netsh interface ip set dns name="Wireless Network Connection" static 8.8.8.8
netsh interface ip add dns name="Wireless Network Connection" 68.87.77.130 index=2

I FOUND A SOLUTION
I manually renamed the interface from "Wireless Network Connection" to "Wifi"
Then when I use "WiFi" in the command line, I no longer get the
ELEMENT NOT FOUND error.
I have no idea why renaming the interface works . . as shown on original post above, "set dns name" command worked without the name change, but the "IP set Address" did not work.
Anybody know what this is about ?

Wireless network connection not showing up in network connections

Hi, Experts,
I recently re-image my Toshiba laptop (using window xp installation disk) due to I deleted few system files accidentally and can not boot the system up.
Before I re-image, I have no problem to connect Fios internet. After the re-image, the wireless network connection not showing up in network connections, so I cannot set up my Fios internet.
How to set up the wireless network connection that it will show up in network connections? Thank you very much for your help.

Issue Resolved. I did not turn on the wireless switch.

2nd Computer Requires a Manual Wireless Network Connection Setting on Powerup

2nd Computer Requires a Manual Wireless Network Connection Setting on Powerup
On power-up, my 2nd computer, a 3 yo IBM R51, requires that I open the Network Connections window, then set the Wireless Network Connection Properties under the Wireless Network Tab, clicking on "Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings", before the automatic connection launches to the WRT150N v1.1 router signal.
I just bought the router and have the latest firmware.
My primary computer does not require the above settings change every time.
Is there a selection I can make so this is automatic on power-up or restart of my 2nd computer?

It was already set to automatic on both extended and standard tabs.
For a good measure, I set it to disable, applied, then reset it to automatic and applied again. Still does same thing.
I notice that if I double click on the small icon for the Intel ProWireless Network Card, I get a Wireless Connection Status Window.
This window has a Wireless Settings section where it seems to have a possibly obsolete "Current Location Profile" called ssnetwork (the name of my old network on my old D-Link router that I just changed out for the Linksys.
Anyway, the Network Name (SSID) field is now blank but when it first came up, it had the new name of the network I'm using.
Do you know how I access this "Current Location Profile" so I can edit it and possibly enter my new network name?
There is a button at the bottom of the screen called "Modify WLAN Settings" that I click but nothing launches when I do so.
Now that I manually did the connection setting, my network name appears in the "Current Location Profile."

Bootcamp Windows 7 Wireless Network Connection: No Valid IP Configuration

I just bought a new 13" MBP and have installed Windows 7 Ultimate via Bootcamp 5.0. I installed the Windows Support Software that I had previously downloaded via Bootcamp Assistant on Mac OS. Although the Wireless Network Connection asked for my network key and connects to the network, I cannot access the internet. The troubleshooter find this problem: "Wireless Network Connection" doesn't have valid IP configuration. I am using my old Dell computer and it is connecting to the wireless properly and my MBP can connect on Mac OS, so I don't think it's a router issue. Here are the things I have tried so far to resolve this issue, but none have worked:
Uninstalling the Broadcom Network Adapter driver, restarting the computer, and reinstalling
Repairing the Windows Support Software with the Bootcamp 5.0.5033 Support Software Update downloaded from www.apple.com
Uninstalling the Broadcom Network Adapter driver, restarting the computer, and reinstalling the driver from Bootcamp 5.0.5033

Did you find a solution for this? I have exaclty the same problem.
But I could temporarily solve it by setting an IP, gateway, dns etc manually. But that will only work in my current wifi-network.
I can't even get internet sharing from my iphone

HELP! 'Wireless Network Connection doesn't have va...

'Wireless Network Connection doesn't have valid IP configuration'.
The problem that I'm having on multiple devices gives me this message on my desktop PC. No devices in the house can connect to the internet apart from xbox systems weirdly enough. I have 3 xbox's in the house, two 360's and one xbox one which all connect perfectly fine.
No computers will connect and no mobile phones. The router is shining a blue light indicating that nothing is wrong. I have been searching for a solution for hours now and nothing has worked. If someone has a suggestion please let me hear it.

Conflict with WRT160N and Windows Wireless Network Connection

I have a WRT160N router connected to a Verizon FIOS cable modem with five computers (all Windows based) wirelessly connected to the N router. Four of the computers auto detect the N router connection when the computer starts up using Windows Wireless Network Connection and operate well. One of the computers, which is the only one running Easylink for router configuration, will not connect through the Wireless Network Connection. I have to use Easylink to manually connect. The WNC gives a msg that Windows cannot configure this wireless connection and to configure the wireless connection using Wireless Zero Configuration service. When I configure WZC correctly the WNC sees all available networks and allows me to select the Advanced Wireless checkbox to allow Windows to connect to the wireless network. However, when I reboot the computer none of the configuration parameters are saved and I am back to manually connecting using Easylink and going through the entire process again. Any suggestions? Thx

Uninstall the EasyLink and connect manually. I think EasyLink 3.0 or later is coming soon ..

Airport Express! wireless network connection promp need Help!

First time user cant hook up to my wireless network just bought airport express to extend my my network but I keep on get an error say that my wireless network connection is valid any help anyone please on the brink of giving up!

Hi, yonhtna. Welcome to the forums!
Would you mind answering a few questions? I need a little more information about your network setup and about the exact nature of the problem.
1) What type of router is your main router?
2) Do you plan on using the Express to extend the range of your network, or are you only going to be using it for AirTunes or printer sharing?
3) When and where do you see the error message? If possible, can you provide the exact wording?
4) Is AirPort Utility able to find the Express?

Win7 Home Premium - systray Wireless network connection icon?

Hi,
My home wireless connection is running fine and I do not have my Ethernet cable plugged in.
In the systray part of the taskbar, there used to show a Wireless network connection icon - a little graphic icon that looked like 5 vertical bars side-by-side, with bars increasing in height, left to right. That icon is no longer in the systray and
it appears to have been replaced by the "wired" icon - a little square with a tiny picture of a plugger on its left side. And since I don't have my Ethernet cable plugged in, there's a little red "x" on the wired icon. I don't
know what I did to cause the wired icon to replace the Wireless network connection icon in the systray. Any idea how I screwed this up and how to put things back again?

Hi cwr64,
It might be caused by netsh command using. Please try following methods
Method1: Uninstall all “6to4 Afapter” and “isatap” device in device manager.
Right click this computer->Properties->Device manager->View->show hidden devices
Right click and uninstall all “6TO4 Adapter” and “isatap” devices in
Network adapters.
Method 2
Please try to uninstall all your network adapter driver and reinstall them again. Then restart your computer check if the icon comes back. It might be caused by netsh command using.
Note: backup or download your adapter driver before removing the drivers from device manager.
Regards

My iPad keeps losing its network connection. All of the other wireless devices in my house are fine. Any ideas as to what may be causing this?

I have an IPad 1 with 16 G of memory and wiFi only. For the last 2 days it has been dropping off of the wireless network repeatedly. I have a wireless laptop next to it that is fine. I am working where I normally do and have had no problems until the last couple of days. My other IPad works just fine and my macbook pro is also having no problems. Does any one have any idea where to begin troubleshooting?

Just a follow up with a successful ending, I think.
Got the replacement iPad2. Synced it on itunes, put in my old SIM card, and tried it out. I was heartbroken when it had exactly the same problem with wifi connectivity! Dropped my home wifi connection every few minutes or seconds. Had to be prompted to find home network.
Then I tried turning OFF "Ask to Join Networks" as suggested by another poster on Apple Support. Suddenly, I had steady wifi connectivity. I left it that way overnight and even when I woke it from hibernating, it was still connected to wifi!!
Thinking I found the answer, I decided to go back to my original iPad2. I had previously used "Erase All Content and Settings" when I received the replacement iPad2 and so, had to Restore from my iTunes. After doing that, my original iPad2 now holds a wifi connection!! (And I did NOT turn off "Ask to Join Networks".)
So was it fixed by my erasing all content and settings and then restoring it back? Maybe. I called Apple Support again and they did not have any answers or suggestions. They did say that turning off "Ask to Join Networks" would have no effect on connectivity but it did stop the iPad to keep prompting me to choose a network to join!
I would be interested if this "fix" works for anyone else because I see it is a fairly common complaint.

Home wireless network connections

I have embarq high speed DSL. I have the DSL modem and a linksys router that creates a wireless network in my homw. I have had this set up for a few years. I have the router connected to a computer that we never use. My question is ---do I have to continue to have the router connected to the computer or can I unhook the router from th computer and still be able to have my wireless network function properly there is no wired connection to a computer.

There is no need of any computer to stay connected to your router(hard wired), you can disconnect the computer from the wireless router and your wireless network will function properly...
