T60 -- Bad Wireless connection. Help please!

Hi Guys, my T60 has unstable wireless connection problem. I make sure the radio is "ON". It gets connected to the DSL network but it gets disconnected on and off ( the radio turns off by itself sometimes). Something wrong with my Intel PRO Wireless driver 3945abg? Can anyone guide me how to fix the problem??
Thank you!!

Hi there,
I'm having the exact same problem - installed the OS (Windows XP Pro) adding SP3 and updating all drivers.
Then I connect to the wireless whitout any problems. I go to sleep, and next day wireless don't work!
The Machine is a T60 2008-WGV. I have made a image of the clean disk with Clonezilla, and therefore I can restore the OS quickly to a working wireless, but I find it quite anoing to have a clean OS every morning, in order to use network.
anyone please?

WRT54GL - just today it won't keep wired/wireless connections HELP Please

This router is less that a year old and just today it won't keep wired/wireless connections unless I reset the router and sometimes within 5 mins of a reset, it's out again. I can go into the Admin/Status page of the router and DCHP release/renew the IP from Cox and that works the same as a reset of the modem.
Can anyone give me an idea what this could be? Cox looked at the Motorola modem and saw that it was connected for 3 hrs (3 hrs prior I rebooted the modem thinking that was my issue) and they didn't see anything out of the ordinary.
I have the latest firmware installed.

Are you using any peer-to-peer (P2P) software? If so, this is a known cause for router slow downs and disconnections. Go into the P2P software, and reduce the number of connections that the software can make.

Not the average problem with wireless connection. Please help me..

I've been having wireless connection problems ever since I upgraded to Verizon FiOS from Verizon Wireless. Before upgrading to Verizon FiOS in the fall of 2012, my brother's laptop connected just fine with the connection. After upgrading to Verizon FiOS, my brother's laptop could not connect to the internet. It showed the wireless connection signal as Excellent, but I could not access the internet. Either it would be extremely slow or there would be no connection at all. Also, the router would sometimes restart itself randomly, and it was extremely annoying for me since I am hardwired with my desktop.
This was weird because my iPod Touch connected perfectly fine to the wifi. So I thought it must be the laptop. But I brought the laptop over to my cousin's house, who also happens to have Verizon FiOS, and the laptop connected perfectly fine. I called Verizon and none of the technicians knew what the problem was. We tried disabling and enabling the router, changing the channels, and anything that was on the list. They couldn't help me and I was extremely disappointed because not only am I not accessing the internet with my brother's laptop, but I am also paying for the service too. The last technician I called in 2012 decided to send me a new router. I hoped this would work, but it did not. This router, too, would completely reset itself numerous times before settling down and letting me use the internet.
I gave up after that. But in the spring of 2013, I got really fed up with the service I was receiving and I decided to call Verizon again. Again, Verizon tried to help me fix the laptop with their tools and solution guides. But nothing good came out of it, so I decided to ask for a technician to come to my apartment to fix it. We scheduled a day and I was pretty excited since I was almost positive that the connection for the laptop would be fine by then.
I was wrong. The technician came and only stayed for about 20 minutes. He said it must be the laptop or it must be that the walls are too thick in my apartment. But that can't be it since, in my cousin's house, the router is on the second floor and my brother was using his laptop on the first floor. So it couldn't be the laptop nor the house. So we came to no conclusion. He just attached a mini router to the laptop and hardwired it. I wasn't so content but I was glad my brother could finally use the internet now.
About three months pass by and I decide to get myself a new laptop. I get it and I am hoping the wireless connection works. It did, so I was almost positive that it was my brother's laptop that was the problem, not the wireless signal. I go on vacation for a few days and I connect perfectly fine at my friend's house. When I return home and try to connect to my wireless connection, it didn't work!
At this point, I am extremely frustrated. I decided to call Verizon again to replace my router because it was being extremely annoying. It kept resetting itself and I was tired of it. I replaced the router, and this is the router I currently have, but I STILL have the same problem. It resets itself on its own time and I hate it because I'm always in the middle of something. Wow, just wow. There is nothing they could do to help me fix this. I call up a technician, for the millionth time, and he tells me he can't access my router. This occurred with the previous technician who sent me the new router. He tells me his tools are not working and tells me he'll call me back the next day.
It was the next day and I did not receive any phone call. I am extremely disappointed in Verizon FiOS' service and it's customer service. I leave it alone and I just hardwire my laptop to the router. Of course this works, but what's the point of having a laptop when I have to keep it hardwired on my desk? After a day or two, I decide to check if the wireless connection works, and it did. I was surprised. But every now and then, it would shift on and off. Most of the time, the wireless connection is either EXREMELY SLOW or I get none at all, nonetheless, it still says the connection is Excellent.
Please, if there is anyone who could help or try to help me, I would most appreciate it. If there is more information that you need, ask me and I will try my best to provide it to you.

Admittedly, that IS a strange case. Unfortunately, it sounds like all possible troubleshooting has been done by the tech support agents. you mentioned that you were dissatisfied with your other service, did it have a similar problem? theres a possibility of dirty fiber or a bad ONT port, but the random rebooting of the router would almost exclusively be a bad router. question: is the router in the same location as before?

No internet connection(help please)

I have the model---> Linksys WRT54GL Wireless-G Broadband Router
As I connect the ISPs dsl cable to router the internet light doesn't turn on! Also the phone became "dead"! when i put out the ISPs dsl cable the phone is well again!
The problem isn't the phone but why the router does not connect to the internet!
please help me!
thanx in advance

Please state the make and model of your modem.
I have tried to access web data on your OTE system. Since I don't speak Greek, I have only been able to find some basic information. Do you know what kind of "Internet Connection Type" you have from OTE? Common types include: Automatic Configuration - DHCP, PPPoE, Static IP, PPTP, L2TP. Also, do you know if OTE requires a "Host name" or "Domain name"?
Since you have already tried to setup the router a few times, you should reset the router to factory defaults, before trying to get it to work.   Please use the following procedure:
1)  Power down all computers, the router, and the modem, and unplug them from the wall.
2) Disconnect all wires from the router.
3) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
4)  Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release it, then let the router reset and reboot (2-3 minutes).
5) Power down the router.
6) Connect one computer by wire to port 1 on the router (NOT to the internet port).
7) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
8) Power up the computer (if the computer has a wireless card, make sure it is off).
9) Try to ping the router. To do this, click the "Start" button > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. A black DOS box will appear. Enter the following: "ping 192.168.1.1" (no quotes), and hit the Enter key.  You will see 3 or 4 lines that start either with "Reply from ... " or "Request timed out."   If you see "Reply from ...", your computer has found your router.
10) Open your browser and point it to 192.168.1.1. This will take you to your router's login page. Leave the user name blank, and in the password field, enter "admin" (with no quotes). This will take you to your router setup page. Note the version number of your firmware (usually listed near upper right corner of screen). Exit your browser.
If you get this far without problems, I would suggest that you simply try using the router the way it is, at its factory defaults. To do this, power down the entire system and unplug all devices from the wall. Connect an ethernet cable from your modem to the "Internet" port on your WRT54GL. Power up the modem and allow it to fully boot (1-5 minutes). Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes). Power up your computer. Test your system. Can you get an Internet connection? If not, power cycle the entire system, then try to get an Internet connection again.
If it still fails, then power down your system, and disconnect the modem from the router. Be sure the modem is disconnected from the router before you proceed. Then try the Easylink Advisor (or setup the router manually, if you prefer), and see if you can get your router setup and working.
If you cannot get "Reply from ..." in step 9 above, your router is dead.
If you get a reply in step 9, but cannot complete step 10, then either your router is dead or the firmware is corrupt. In this case, use the Linksys tftp.exe program to try to reload your router with the latest firmware. After reloading the firmware, repeat the above procedure starting with step 1.
If you need additional help, please state the results of steps 9 and 10. Also, if you get any error messages, copy them exactly and report back.
Please let me know what happens.

PS3 80GB Wireless Connection Help

We are struggling to get our 80GB PS3 to wirelessly connect to our Wireless-G Router.
It is set up using a WPA Security. Some one please help! We have done custom set up and put in our IP addresses on our on and we have done easy! The only way we can think of to make it easier is to take the security code off and have an unsecured network, and I do not want to do that.
Please help before I break my ps3 or my router LOL

both my mac and ipad is working on wifi (so did the previous phone) i ve tried rebooting, tried reset supplier...nothing works. can someone help please?

Yes, they should be able to verify that WiFi is working properly. If I just got a new phone & it didn't work perfectly, right out of the box, before I started restoring or whatever, I'd be right back where I got the phone.

Mac mini Leopard connects to Apple extreme BUT XP WONT CONNECT HELP PLEASE

*I have a new mac mini intel 1.83 ghz Core 2 Duo I used bootcamp to partition Windows XP pro SP2*
*I was initially easily able to connect to my wireless Apple extreme in either Leopord 10.5.4 or Windows XP.*
*I then installed all the new (100) security updates for SP2 and now Windows XP sees my airport extreme but for some reason can't connect. I set up the Wizard using a manual network key and using the same password for my network connection. When I startup in Leopard 10.5.4 no problems always connected to Airport extreme. But no connection on Windows XP to wirelessx Apple extreme.*
*I wonder if anyone has a solution, maybe a detailed explanation how to set up with the Windows XP network wizard?*
*Does the Apple AirPort Utility Setup 5.3.2 for windows help in any way?*
*Thanks in advance!*

I have no idea what happened. I plugged in my USB flash drive in an attempt
to run the Apple Airport utility for windows to see if that would get me connected, but just as I plugged in the USB drive my wireless connection flashed and said CONNECTED and I've been good for the past 12 hours. I never had to use the Apple Airport utility.
I just wish I knew what happened in case I lose this connection and have to try & reconnect....I guess I could always try inserting a usb drive!

I think I did something really bad..need help please

When my Iphoto 5 became very slow, I thought I'd be really smart and delete some files, but now I can't view my photos in the edit window, just the thumbnail. I think I deleted the IPhoto library. Can someone help me restore the settings to the proper way. I tried to import my photos from a cd, they import ok, but I can't view them. Help Please. Obviously I'm no pro here, so any advice would be greatly appreciated. Laura

Well, that's a very bad sign but let's not give up yet.
You indicated that you may have deleted the library. IF that's correct, you're screwed. Do your best to locate it. Although I've frequently told persons never to mess with the innards of the library, at this point you can't make things worse. If you can locate the library, take it apart and look for large files - 250K or larger. Those are your photos. Put them somewhere safe for the time being. (Small files are thumbnails or aliases.)
Again, post back with results.

I can't download iOS 5.1 for ANY of my devices thru USB nor Wirelessly. Help please?

Help!

Ibeen having the same problem since the apple event. Wirelessly, the iPhone would see the update but not be able to download it. When I plugged it into iTunes, it saw the update and tried to download it but hung at "connecting to the update server...". I finally stumbled onto a solution that worked for me... changing the DNS on your iPhone's wireless connection. took less than a minute for mines to update!
Make sure that you are connected to your wi-fi network...
Tap on Settings
Tap on Wi-Fi
Tap on the little blue ball/arrow on network that you are connected to
On the DHCP tab, tap in the DNS field (write down what is in there and save it just in case)
Delete what is in there and add in 8.8.8.8 (this is Google Public DNS*)
Tap out of the field and out of Wi-Fi connections
Try to update from the phone again
I ended up making this change on my iPad, iPhone, Apple TV and iMac and it worked in all cases.

I don't know much about wireless so help please? (:

okay i already had bought a WRT54G a while back and decided now to get a wireless connection. With the router, can I use an ethernet wire to connect router to internet and then use a network adapter for a second computer? In other words, I want to know if I HAVE to get a network adapter for my main computer. I know I'll need one for the secondary computer but I want to know if I can just keep using wire for the primary one. ALSO, what kind of wireless adapter should I get? I'd rather stay with a USB one instead of having to use up a PCI slot. =P

Losing my wireless connection? Please help!

I just installed an airport card (the original) into a G4 powerbook (gigabit ethernet model) and I am only periodically able to connect to the wireless signal at the local coffeeshop and at work. The signal goes in and out. I have been able to make a consistent connection on other macs at these sites so I know it isn't a problem with the signal. I am running OS 10.3 on the G4. Any ideas what my problem might be? Please help. Very frustrated. Thanks.

It sounds like your antenna connection to the airport card is loose. The connection should have been very firm with a noticeable click when the plug was inserted.
This issue has been brought up many times in this and other forums.
You also need to make sure that the antenna cord hasn't been pinched or damaged during the card's installation process.

10.4.6 update ruined my wireless connection. Please help!

Hi everyone,
After updating my Powerbook to 10.4.6 the signal level in the airport status indicator dropped for the first time since 2 years. Up till now it has been always on full reception, afterall I am in the same room as the Wifi router. What's much worse though is that now I get frequent (every 2 minutes or so) disconnects and the connection is incredibly slow (even loading something like google.com).
I'm very frustrated, this is the first time my Mac has let me down on something this essential.
I've tried switching to 'use preferred' from the default 'automatic' in the network settings, which someone suggested here, but it didn't help. Moreover, I've never needed to use this setting, it always 'just worked'. I've also tried removing the preferred network, then flushing the cache from the terminal, restarting, adding the preferred network again. No help!!
Thanks,
Roman

Hi dunkelblau!
Thank you!! No idea why, but changing the channel worked, so far.
Why in the world should a system update, and no additional neighbours' wifi stations knock existing channel useless is beyond my comprehension. I will keep testing this, but I've been online for about 10 minutes now with no interruption. Your tip, although very puzzling, worked.
Have a nice evening and thanks again, you saved me a lot of hassle if this keeps on working.

IPad 2 wireless problems - help please!

Hey guys, I have a 2Wire wireless and my iPad 2 can't access the internet even though it says it is connected and the signal strength is at the max. (3 bars).I already changed the wireless settings from WEP to WPA-Personal, but it still doesn't work. (The IP address under DHCP starts with 169). My iOS version is 4.3.5 (8L1)
Can anyone please help me? Thanks!

Hey guys (:
Thanks for the help! But now I have a different problem :/
Basically, when I connect to the wireless now all the details (IP address etc) are correct, but then they disappear after around 20 seconds. So I have to renew the lease and it comes back again, but disappears again after 20 seconds! I can't access the internet although the left hand bar on Settings tells me I'm connected.
Does anyone know why? I'm quite confused because I've been searching for help and haven't come across any other person with this problem yet ):
