Wifi keeps cutting out after updating to 5.1

Hey everyone, just wanted to ask if this was a common problem.
I updated to iOS 5.1 the day it got released and quickly realised that my wifi kept cutting out, usually after I had locked the phone and started using it again. I didn't think much of it but it kept happening. Most commonly, I would go to work, use the 3g then when coming home it would connect automatically to the wifi and it would show that its connected but wouldn't load any pages. A week or so later, my lock button decided to cave in so I was given a new iPhone by the apple store but the problem still exists. My wifi works fine on my macbook and the 3-4 other laptops we have around the house, its just my iPhone it seem. The problem is still going on now.
Basically my iPhone shows that its connected to wifi but if I go to safari to browse, it doesnt load anything. The only way I can fix it is by going to settings and turning wifi on then off and this usually works for around 10 minutes before it happens again.
Any suggestions? I have the iPhone 4S. Ive tried 'forgetting the network' and re-entering my password for the wifi, tried a hard turn on and off, of the iphone. Any other suggestions and is anyone else having this problem?
Thanks alot, its driving me crazy

I had this issue. The only fix was to get a new sim (for $25 from Optus - thanks Optus). Worryingly, the no sim message reappeared briefly last night, but disappeared after power on/off
Probably not a coincidence - my iPad 3g microsim (also from Optus) has stopped working too after the upgrade. It did work initially, but now give a "No cellular data" message. Optus can't find a problem with it. So it looks like I need to replace that too.

FaceTime audio keeps cutting out after a few minutes

Every time I try to use FaceTime on my iPhone 4, the audio cuts out after 5-10 minutes or so.
Even after hanging up and calling back, there is still no audio. The picture is fine, but I can't hear anything the other party is saying. They apparently can hear me fine, so it appears to be something with the speaker. However, the speaker works fine in every other app.
I also tried using Skype, and it worked with no audio problems. So the issue is definitely isolated to FaceTime.
I do not have this problem with my iPad. It works fine. I tried showing this to a genius at the Apple store, but they can't do anything because the phone is no longer under warranty.
I tried wiping the phone clean, and setting it up as a brand new phone, and still have the same problem.
Any suggestions?

Hello
To get a better handle on the problem, connect at least one computer to the router using an Ethernet cable. This can help isolate the problem further.
You can pretty much connect as many devices to the wireless side as you wish. The only problem you might encounter if you connect a large number of machines on the wireless side is lack of bandwidth. I can't imagine 5-6 machines on a wireless network would be a problem, unless one or two of them attempts a large file transfer. Even then, I would expect the wireless to be slow - not down.
What version of firmware is in your WRT160N? How long have you had your router, and has it worked properly in the past?

Apple TV Airplay Unbearably Cutting Out after Update

Hi All,
I have an ATV v3 on a wired ethernet connection to my router (gigabit ethernet) on a 20mbps ADSL line.
Ever since I've had it it's been very poor for streaming over wifi, can only just handle MP3s from iTunes and videos are unwatchable. This is coming from multiple sources - iPhone, iPad, Macbook pro. Music is intermittent at best with dropouts every few minutes and often cutting out all together requiring the reselecting of the Apple TV as the output.
All of this so much so that I have to revert to the good old tactic of actually plugging in my iPhone to the stereo or Macbook to the TV. So archaic.
However, since I live in an apartment with lots of wifi signals I figured it was probably because of that. So, I hard wired in the Apple TV over ethernet and since then it HAD all been working much much with no dropouts and almost watchable.
However, after all the updates, I'm back to square one. The updates have literally rendered my €120 Apple TV useless and certainly 'not fit for purpose'. As I sit here trying to listen to a song playing from my phone, it can't even get through 1 whole song before dropping out. And by the way, I'm only sat 5M at most from my wireless point, in the same room.
5 year ago I was able to continuously and reliably stream music to a Roku Soundbridge that was basic at best. What the feck is Apple doing with this stuff? As most people, I buy Apple products because I expect them to just work and I don't want 20 mins of hair pulling, shouting frustration until I give in and have to plugin the computer / phone anyway. It's ridiculous and yet I fear it will fall on deaf ears.
My setup.
iPhone 5s, IoS8
iPad 4, IoS8
Macbook Retina OS Mavericks
Wired Gigabit Ethernet connection
Wireless N connection for the others.
Static IP Addressing
Reset / Restarted everything.
So what's going on?
Chris

I appreciate that with knowing nothing about my network you're pushing a passive aggressive blame on me however it's out of place. I work as a System Admin for a national healthcare staffing firm and from reading your post in this thread I'm assuming I actually have more knowledge on what networking is and what could and could not effect Airplay. Also, please read. The issue is the device is restarting or powering off, how is that network related? Is it getting some demonic version of a WOL packet and powering down?
I mentioned multiple devices streaming have the issue ranging from iTunes on a PC to mobile devices. This sets off a flag right away that the Apple TV itself is the issue as many "users" are having a problem with it. Second, there was zero issues prior to the iOS 8 update of the Apple TV, also points to it not being a mystical magical network issue. Third, there's been no network changes in my home that would impact Airplay magically only when iOS 8 comes out.
My Apple TV is hard wired using gigabit on the same switch as my work laptop and NAS. Both have the same issues streaming since iOS 8 on the Apple TV. My iPad and iPhones also have issues over wi-fi. Here we're looking at two different parts of the network having identical issues with the 1 device. Once again the evidence points to the Apple TV.

Wifi keeps dropping out after 9months without problems

At Christmas I bought my lady an Ipad(retina with wifi) sometime after that I noticed my 9month old iphone4s was not connecting to wifi, i thought it may be a DHCP problem on the EDIMAX wifi router which is setup to run WEP, I have tried the following roughly in this order. All with varying degrees of temporary success!
1 toggle wifi in iphone settings
2 toggle airplane mode,
3 Reboot iphone,
4 Reboot router,
5 Factory reset router - no password no encryption,
6 restore via tunes from december 2012 backup
7 restore via itunes from march 2012 backup
8 general reset and restore from march 2012 backup
9 as above but reset all settings via phone
10 Reset network settings in iphone
my wifi constantly drops out, sometimes the wifi toggle switch has greyed out requiring iphone reboot, sometimes even that hasnt worked and requires that the ihone has been restored.
I am now at a loss as to what has happened, is it hardware or software? I bought the phone from Tesco but am i correct that I can take it into any apple store for help?
TIA

Genius bar told me that the greyed out wifi toggle apparently is an indication the there is a hardware fault!
As you know if you followed the thread, I was able to recover for a very short time by restoring the operating system, but within 30mins the connection was being dropped. toggling the wifi on and off by either "forgetting network" settings or resetting iphone, or using the "aircraft mode" almost always results in a wifi toggle switch being greyed out! I don't know but it is possible that the errors are being tallied internally and on reaching a preset quota inform the user that there is an issue, This in my case takes the form of the wifi being greyed out!
The phone was just in warranty and apple replaced it free of charge, It had a month to run but the phone comes with a 90 day warranty. It was fully backed up so no real problem other than the 100mile round trip to the apple store.

Airport Express keeps dropping out after update to Mavericks

I have just updated my fairly old system (iMac 2008) to Mavericks and experience has been mostly positive. However the Airport Express that I have been using for years as a network client to play music from iTunes on my hi-fi has now stopped working reliably. It constantly drops the music every few seconds to the point it is unuseable. Generally the green light (on the Express) stays on but for long drop-outs (say over 3s) the orange light starts flashing, then the green light comes back on again.
The only things that have changed are software updates. The iMac has been updated from 10.5.8 to 10.9. iTunes is now 11.1.3 and the Airport Express asked for a firmware update so I did that too. No new hardware has been added, no new RF items have been introduced to the house, nothing has changed position.
The Airport Express is model no A1264. The wireless router is a Netgear model from VirginMedia.
This is really frustrating as its the only job the £80 airport express has to do and now it doesn't.
Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Why does my keyboard controller keep cutting out after a few seconds?

I Have an M-Audio controller. It has worked fine before. When I record a software instrument track, It works fine for a few measures, then it stops working. the music continues to play, but my keyboard just doesn't work. I unplug the usb cable and plug it back in. Then It works again for a few seconds and again stops working. What could cause this?

External speakers keep cutting out

Using Harman Kardon sound stick USB speakers on my mac book and they keep cutting out after about 1:08 of use. It happens with all audio sources (itunes, online streaming etc.) and works immediately if I unplug and re-insert into the USB port.
On the sound settings, the "USB Sticks" stays highlighted as the source. The internal speakers do not come on when the sound stick speakers cut out, but do so when I unplug them from the USB port.
This problem just started out of the blue after years of flawless use, no software updates. Happens on both of my USB ports. Tried re-starting, didn't help.
So frustrated.

I think that the manufacturer is your best source. Perhaps there is some incompatibility.....

When watching movies over Wi-Fi on my AppleTV, it cuts out after a few minutes

Whenever I watch a movie from my AppleTV, either via the "Movies" or "Computer" options, it keeps cutting out after a few minutes.
However, if I play something on my iPad and send it to my AppleTV via AirPlay, the movie plays without any problems.
What could be the problem?

That would indicate an issue with the network.
The Movies icon is streaming from icloud. I would verify your current connection using speedtest.net. Make sure DNS is set to automatic (settings - general - network)
The Computers icon is utilizing home-sharing to access your local content off your computer.
Go to istumbler (Mac) or netstumbler (PC) to get a report of the network, look for signal strength and noise.
Try connecting via ethernet.

Wifi keeps dropping out on MacBook Pro after installing Yosemite

Wifi keeps dropping out on MacBook Pro after installing Yosemite. This is not good. Apparently, a lot of people are having this issue with Yosemite. Any suggestions for my MacBook Pro? It's bad enough that Yosemite looks so boring, but to have a major issue like constantly disconnecting from wifi is deplorable.
I plan to keep Mavericks on my iMac until this issue is resolved.

Sound cutting out after 2.1 update

Hi!
I installed the newest firmware upgrage, 2.1, the one with the "genius" playlist.
After this install however, i've had problems with songs cutting out after a few seconds. The song continues to play, but with no sound. Also, this often occurs if i turn the screen off, within a few seconds of selecting a new song to play.
Has anyone else encountered this problem?

Has nothing to do with that. Like the previous remark says, it's totally random. One song doesn't work so if you select another song it may play, or not, or just for a few moments. Go back to the song you originally chose and it may play, or not. Same with videos. I just bought a new dock and thought there was something wrong with that but, nope, it's the iPod. It chokes me that something that costs so much is so easily broken. I've only had it for 6 weeks and who knows how long it will take them to fix this issue.
If you are having the same problem, PLEASE report it so that we can get this fixed asap!
Thanks!!

New iphone 4s speaker keeps cutting out on calls and have to put it on external speaker, this is happening to others I have called today with the same phone. Is there a fix?

My wife has a new 4s and quite often her phone speaker cuts out during a call and she has to put it on speakerphone. Telus tech support tells me this is a known issue yet there doesn't seem to be an update to the phone available in itunes yet. So far today we have talked to two other people who live in our area with the same phone and same issue. One went so far as to buy a jawbone for $150 to work around it not knowing it was a software issue. Is this a software fix or do we need to do a hardware swap? Is there a fix out or on the way?

My gf was having the same issues and also with a big echo every time I called her either from my 4S or even fron a land line as per other comments here. They told he to take it into the Apple store and they reset the software and now it's working fine.....so far.
Now today my bluetooth earpiece has decided to stop working for some unknown reason and then the last person that called me said my phone keep cutting out. I don't know whether that was because I had to turn off my bluetooth to answer the phone or what.
I suspect Apple will be sending out an update to fix some of these reported issues but in the meantime the local Apple store seems to be the only option. Just hoping I don't have to take that option as that would require a huge inconvenience for me as neither of the two stores in the Vanvouver area are remotely close to me.
Good luck.
