2 Devices disconnecting/reconnecting repetedly

According to the event log on our HH5, starting at 18:10 yesterday my kindle and my sons android phone have repeatedly disconnected and reconnected every few seconds. I checked to see what was going on because I tried to go online with my kindle earlier and pages were timing out. It's not affected any of the other phones or devices connected.
Any ideas?

Try changing the wireless channel, there is a choice of 13 channels. Some devices have difficulty in maintaining a connection in the presence of interference, and will keep de-authenticating.

  • Windows 7 keeps freezing, disconnecting/reconnecting USB devices

    Last week, a lightning strike near where I live caused a power surge and as a result, my ethernet card was fried.  I took my computer (iMac) to a store to have it repaired, and they wound up replacing the entire motherboard (a bit extreme in my opinion, but what do I know).
    When I got it back today, sure the ethernet problem was solved, but I noticed that my taskbar was acting weird - specifically the icons in the notification tray.  Lots of them were "blank", meaning there were just empty spaces that would highlight when I hovered the cursor over them, but nothing happened when I clicked them.
    Then I discovered that clicking any of the icons in the notification tray almost immediately froze the computer.  Frozen, as in completely unresponsive to the point where my only option was to manually shut off the computer.  That happened twice.
    My solution was to reboot in safe mode and run system restore to an earlier point.  That fixed the notification tray problem (no more freezing, and the icons were all back), but the computer still keeps freezing at random intervals.  Again, my only solution is to manually shut it off by holding down the power button, which I hate doing because I know it's bad for the hard drive.  Sometimes it froze as soon as the welcome screen.  I tried running a virus scan, but again it froze in the middle of the process.
    On top of the constant freezing, it keeps disconnecting/reconnecting my usb devices.  My mouse and keyboard will suddenly drop out for five seconds and then start working again.  This constantly happens, to the tune of several "disconnect" sounds playing over the speakers.
    What the heck is going on?  I tried re-installing the Boot Camp drivers, but that didn't work.  I have my Windows 7 CD and backed up files, so if worse comes to worst I can do a clean install of Windows, but I'd rather not have to spend a day re-building my computer, and I'd REALLY rather not take it back in for another repair, since that took a week and I need this for my work.
    Any ideas on what I should do?  I'm out of town on my laptop for the weekend, and I'd like to have a game plan for when I get back.

    I'm very excited to finally have a solution for this problem. Thank You Balaji for figuring this out. I've been struggling with this for a number of years, and had only one USB Hard Drive that worked. I too have VMware workstation, and had the missing files
    in "c:\windows\inf." I can say with certainty that I did not delete the files from that folder, but something is common in both of our situations. Maybe it has to do with VMware, and some of it's updates over the years. I'm also using nCompute to share out
    a networked desktop via the wire. 
    One more thing worthy of mention is this machine was an update from Windows Vista, and the USB hard drive that worked was configured back than. So although I could never add another HD, at least I had the one.
    Now with having copied over the files, I can plugin other USB enclosures with different drives and they too are working.
    Like you mentioned, it was always possible to use USB devices within my Virtual Machines, so it was clear that the USB ports were functional. I actually got the files from a clean Windows 7 VM, copying out the \windows\inf folder and doing a compare between
    the the real one and the virtual one. I found the two missing files you mentioned, along with 8 others. I went ahead and included them all in your fix.
    It worked, Amazing. Thanks again. :O)

  • Closed-lid mode USB devices disconnect randomly

    I just recently connected my MacBook Pro to my Samsung DLP HDTV and started running it in closed-lid mode so my TV is the primary/only display. I also have an external hard drive (USB), external mouse (wireless with USB toggle) and the new Apple bluetooth keyboard.
    The problem I have isn't entering the closed-lid mode. But once in closed-lid mode (after a short period of time) all of my USB devices disconnect and then reconnect. I know this because I get an error saying that my hard drive was removed improperly (please eject before disconnecting, etc) and I also get a message from my mouse software saying that my mouse has been disconnected. But then they reconnect themselves (hard drive shows up again on desktop and mouse software informs me that the mouse is present again).
    Has anyone had this problem before where USB devices disconnect in the closed-lid mode? I just upgraded to Leopard (formatted the drive and started from scratch). I never tried this within Tiger so I don't have that for a reference. This is really annoying because I have my entire music collection on the external hard drive and it just stops playing when this happens and I have to restore the path to my music collection within iTunes' preferences (it defaults back to ~/Music/iTunes/ when it figures out that the hard drive is no longer there).
    The strange thing about this is that when I don't run in closed-lid mode this never happens. I'll be more than happy to provide more details if needed. I greatly appreciate your help.
    Thanks!
    Mike

    i appear to have the same problem under Vista (via Bootcamp) on MBP (2007). i close the lid, and 5-20min later i hear the sound a USB device makes when it disconnects, and a minute or 5 later it reconnects. i don't actually have any USB devices plugged in, but there are several components in the MBP that are connected internally via USB (DVD drive, etc).
    what's almost as annoying is that the LCD backlight will come back on of its own accord, even though the MBP's been idle for more than the LCD/backlight time-out period. after the next idle timeout it turns off, only to turn back on againa while later. i see this under OSX & Vista.

  • USB 3.0 port seems to be VERY loose / flimsy (everything keeps disconnecting / reconnecting)

    Just like the title says: my USB 3.0 port seems to be very touchy...even the slightest nudge of whatever's plugged in will cause it to play the device-disconnected chime (but then nearly immediately play the device-reconnected chime).
    Is this a known issue?
    And what do I do to fix?  I assume it's a HARDWARE rather than a software problem, because it's a physical nudge that seems to prompt the disconnect/reconnect...so is this something that i'll need to open my computer to fix? It's not under warranty anymore...

    Hi there @BarryKatz1 
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel.
    I understand that you have an intermittent USB connection and that the connector seems loose. I am happy to help, and as you surmise, this is more of a hardware issue.
    I certainly feel your pain, I have a notebook that my young son pulled down (more than once) and each time I lost a USB port due to damage, and of the three I had on that notebook, only one still functions.
    The port is a part of the notebook's mainboard, so the main remedy is a board replacement.  You will find the part and part numbers in the service guide, on page 25 of 81.
    HP Spectre 13 Pro Ultrabook and HP Spectre 13 Ultrabook Maintenance and Service Guide
    About the only other thing you can try is a new USB cable for the device, just in case the problem is more cable related.
    I hope this helps.

  • EA6300 Random Disconnects/Reconnects

    I have a newish EA6300 router, and the connection will randomly but often (every 15min or so) drop for a second and then reconnect.  The firmware is 1.1.40.153731.  I have two laptops in the house and this issue happens on both computers.  I also have another wireless router (Zoom N150) and when I connect the computers to that router the connection is stable and never drops.   Any idea why I'm getting these random disconnect/reconnect issues with the EA6300? I would very much like to only use the Linksys router because of its superior power, range and ability to handle more devices and traffic, as well as eventual AC capability.  However I can't use it as a primary connections because of this issue.

    Thanks for the reply.  I had already changed the channel and it did seem to improve things.  I still get disconnects but they are MUCH less frequent.  My next step will be to move the Linksys router away from another wireless router that is nearby that may be causing interference. I have another question.  I have used inSSIDer to examine the signal strength of the wireless networks around my home.  This is what helped me to know what channel to switch the Linksys router to.  But I've noticed that inSSIDer shows two networks when the Linksys router is on.  I do not have a 5ghz wireless card in my computer, so only the 2.4ghz band shows as a network.  One of the networks is my network that I have named, but the other network is unnamed (no SSID), and this mystery network will occassionally get a big drop in signal strength.  I have attached a screen shot.  The blue line is my main (named) personal network, an the yellow line is the mystery network that turns on when the router is on.  You can see the downward spike in that yellow line that indicates a momentary loss of signal in that mystery network.   Any idea why two networks show up?  And if their coming from the same router, why would one lose signal while the other doesn't?  Again, I don't have an AC network card, so I'm not seeing a 5ghz band so the second one can't be that.

  • Windows 8.1 New PC USB constantly disconnects reconnect when the pc goes to sleep?

    Everything has been working like a charm on my new PC build. The only thing I have been having issues with is more of an annoyance. PC goes to sleep then pc makes the usb disconnecting/reconnecting noise. I cant find out how to stop the noise from happening.
    All my usb devices work fine once the pc comes back up. I tried to disconnect one device at a time and it does it with all the usb connections no matter what is connected. Any help?

    Hi,
    This issue might be because when suspended, some devices stop charging while plugged into the computer, they might disconnect and then reconnect repeatedly or stop working altogether.
    Please follow this article to resolve it:

  • Itunes hangs on disconnect / reconnect of internet connection

    Quite often I do stream internet radio stations using Itunes. I am listening through my BeoCenter2. When I swich of the BeoCenter2, I often forget to
    stop the stream in Itunes. This would not a problem, but because my internet provider drops the connection every night for one second.
    This disconnect / reconnect is not handled by Itunes correctely. From this moment on Itunes is frozen and hangs. Itunes has to be killed.
    Any advice? Or is there a bug fix on the way?

    Hi,
    Thanks for that - good advice I'll file a report.
    I've just switched to streaming music this way after struggling for many years with a Logitech Duet.  When it worked  it was brilliant, but very flaky at times.  Naively I thought I would switch to something totally reliable and sorted.  To be fair the remote app works brilliantly on iphone and no problem with streaming my music collection - just that, like you, I stream radio feeds too.   I cannot believe others don't have the same problem too.  My internet connection drops out several times a day, which I'm pursuing as well.
    If/when I make progress I'll post it.

  • Constant home wifi disconnect/reconnect with GS3 and GS4

    I've been having terrible trouble with my previous Galaxy S3 and my new Galaxy S4 on my home wifi network.  They CONSTANTLY disconnect and reconnect.  Sometimes it can happen 2 or 3 times in 1 minute, and sometimes it won't happen for 5 or 6 minutes, but then it will happen and it will happen 2 or 3 times in rapid succession.  This is really irritating when I'm viewing a web page and it has to reload EVERY time the disconnect/reconnect happens.
    What can I do to keep my GS4 from doing this?
    I have the Verizon GT704WGB DSL modem/wireless router.
    I have my laptop and my Kindle Fire HD connected via wifi to this router, and they never experience the problem, only my GS3 and GS4.
    Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

        Hi TR_Young,
    We're here to help! Have you tried resetting your router? Do you know if your Wi-Fi router needs to be updated? I understand wanting the phones to stay connected to Wi-Fi. Do the phones having problems have trouble on other Wi-Fi networks? We look forward to hearing from you about these details.

  • All iOS devices disconnecting randomly from D-Link router

    Hi,
    All my Apple devices disconnect every 10 to 15 minutes from my D-Link DIR-615 router. My Apple TV, 2 iPhones and my iPad always lose the connection. Can't stream anything on my Apple TV, I have to reset the router every 10 minutes. This happens only on Apple/iOS devices. My 3 PCs and my Samsung Galayx device don't have these problems, never disconnect and can stream for hours with no problems.
    All my Apple devices are up to date. My router has the latest firmware. I have tried to change the channel and channel width to different settings with no luck.
    Any idea on how to solve the problem? Changing my router to an Apple AirPort is not an option. The fact that only Apple devices are concerned is certainly not an accident.
    Thanks in advance!

    Restore the router to default settings and reconfigure.

  • Device Disconnect Sound Plays Sporadically

    Hello my Toshiba Satellite L675-57115, Windows 7 (browser Internet explorer 9.0.8112.16421) plays the device disconnect sound randomly while I'm surfing the Internet, with no seemly pattern that I am able to discern. At times the sound will play several times back to back and then it will be a few minutes before it plays again.
    I'm not sure if this is related but when insert addresses (in yahoo mail) is clicked it does nothing. It will not go to the addresses. It also will not go to some sites that have addresses within a site when addresses are clicked on. When the address is clicked on it does nothing, but "open in a new tab" will work.
    I would appreciate any help/advice from the knowledgeable Toshiba Forum posters. 

    I have no idea what could cause that, Doc, but if it were me and no problem was being caused, I would right click the speaker icon in the System Tray (AKA Notification Area), click Sounds, select Device Disconnect, click on the down arrow and select None, click Apply and OK out.

  • RDP Session Disconnect/Reconnect when RemoteApp is in Not Responding State (Server 2012)

    Some of our applications running in our RDS environment tend to enter the Not Responding state while they're waiting for something in the background to happen (open a window, perform a calculation, etc.). When this happens we notice that the RemoteApp session
    will quickly disconnect and then reconnect. This causes an issue with dialog boxes.  For example, printing to PDF.  A lot of time the dialog box for specifying where to save the PDF is in the background because RemoteApp disconnected and reconnected
    causing the program your printing from to become the window of focus. This makes user think the program is truly not responding when in reality the dialog box is hidden and waiting for them.  They then need to click the icon on the taskbar to access the
    dialog window.
    To my knowledge we never had this issue with Server 2008 R2.  Any help with this is greatly appreciated!
    Scott

    Hi Scott,
    Is the server 2012 R2?
    Please confirm in the logs that a disconnect/reconnect is occurring.  On the client you would look at TerminalServices-ActiveXCore and on the server side you would look at TerminalServices-LocalSessionManager.
    When this happened you had a continuous ping to the server and it did not lose any pings?
    Having solid pings is a good sign, but you can still have a network problem that will cause the connection to drop.  You may want to update the NIC driver and firmware to the latest version recommended by your server manufacturer.
    Additionally you should consider any routers/switches/etc. that are between the clients and the server as potentially suspect.  For example, I have seen where a NAT router would drop a connection periodically, then the connection would be re-established
    and not have issues (until the next time).  One way to test would be to swap in a different make and model router/switch and see if the problem still exists.
    Thanks.

  • Peripheral device disconnection

    Hi,
    in a mesh network, temperature sensing peripheral devices are connected directly via ethernet to the mesh access points.
    Sometimes, the peripheral device disconnects even when the access point itself is up and running. At this instance, the interface to which it is connected on the access point still remains up. bridging is configured on the access point with required vlan for the device access.
    At times, the device returns back to normal by itself , other times it only gets up after reboot of the access point.
    please provide some help on this. thanks in advance.

  • Why does my 4s with ios7 wifi keep disconnecting/reconnecting?

    why does my 4s with ios7 wifi keep disconnecting/reconnecting?

    Same problem here. It just keeps connecting/disconnecting indefinitely. This does not started immediately after IO7 upgrade and it does not happen all the time. Sometimes it does it, sometimes not. Very frustrating. So far no solution found.

  • Disable bluetooth "Device Connected" and "Device Disconnected" notification

    Hi there.
    Is there a way to stop the bluetooth "device connected" and "device disconnected" notification from appearing in the middle of the screen?
    Logically this notification should be optional and disabled out of the box just like other hardware notifications (network, printer, hard disk etc..).
    Cheers
