3 laptops wireless connect with no problem - 1 lap...

We have four laptops on our slow rural broadband connection. All laptops used to connect and work ... slowly but they all stayed connected. Now one of the laptops continuously connects and disconnects making it almost impossible to use. Can anyone suggest why?
thanks

Hi Welcome to the forums
If you post the full stats from your router
For homehub – type 192.168.1.254 into your browser
Navigate to ADSL Settings or use the A-Z at the top right of the home page and scroll down to ADSL Settings and click on it
Click on More Details and then post the full results.
also post the full results from http://speedtester.bt.com/
Have you tried connecting to the test socket at the rear of the master socket
Have you tried the quiet line test? - dial 17070 option 2 - should hear nothing - best done with a corded phone. if cordless phone you may hear a 'dull hum' which is normal
also you could try the hints given by poster RogerB in this link they may help http://community.bt.com/t5/BB-in-Home/Poor-Broadband-speed/m-p/14217#M8397
Then someone here may be able to help and offer more advice.

  • HT1365 just installed a new wireless router (cisco linkseys E1200) and our apple laptops connect fine on one floor but lose connectivity when moved to another.  Other non apple laptops & Ipad connect with no problem no matter what floor they are on

    We just installed a new wireless router to our main PC.  It's a Cisco Linkseys E1200.  All other wireless devices were able to connect without a problem, including my Ipad.  We have 2 Macbook Pro laptops.  They both connect just fine when on the same floor of our house as the router, but when we take them upstairs to the 2nd floor of the house, they lose connectivity and it states the wireless password is not the correct password.  All other 2nd floor laptops have no problem at all with connectivity no matter where they are in the house.  Please help- my husband is on the verge of selling Apple if that cannot be remedied. 

    This would not be a security issue symptom. I would consider checking for sources of wireless interference HT1365

  • TS1398 I cannot join with a nearby Wi-Fi network.  We have wi-fi in our apt. and our IBM laptop is connecting with no problem; but, when I try to use my iPod touch, the wi-fi is locked and asks for a password.  I do not know it.

    How do I join with the network that is in our apt?  The iPod asks for a password and I do not have one.  What to do?

    You have to enter the correct password to connect.
    Ask the person who setup the router for the password.

  • Can I set 1 laptop wireless connect with static IP to WRT610N?

    I have a WRT610N with 3 PCs wired and various wireless devices accessing.  1 of the wireless devices, running Windows 7, needs to run a static IP.  Do/Can I set this up in the router or do I need to do in the PC?

    You can use DHCP reservation in the router to assign a fixed IP address to the PC.
    Or you can set the static IP address on the PC directly.

  • T43 and Wireless connection with ATT Uverse

    Hi geeks I am new. I have prob. I was having ATT DSL  and as I switched to ATT Uverse I have problem to connect my T43 and T41 laptops to connect via wireless connection.
    I have intelPro 2200bg wireless card(internal). I read the forums and tried evrything. Finally I went to Intel wireless card update driver website and downloaded a file. ONLY T43 got connected by wireless But on the taskbar the radio shows as Off. I wonder is it connected via my bluetooth or How  and how to SWitch ON the  radio on. I went and tried to switch on Wireless radio into ON mode???
    Please help geeks , as I have to fix my T41 too to connect to the ATT Uverse. The ATT tech came and he too could not fix it. When I connect via Ethernet to the router  I get 11.97 Mbps speed but wireless connection is the problem. I downloaded, thinkvintage toolkit,  a software to  find interference form cordless phone, etc, etc nothing worked. 
    Somehow my T43 got wireless connection. Not sure will it connect again if I switch it off.
    I know little that the WPA encryption needs something diff the WEP encryption. Because my both T41 & T43 was able to wirelessly connect to my DSL router/modem.
    If someone of you can throw some  light it would be a great help else I may have to buy  flash drive wireless card but I dunt want to occupy my flash drives as they are occupied by webcam & external speaker. Dunt  like to put a flash drive hub.
    Thanking you in advance.

    Update on T43:
    After formatting with Windows 2000 setup disk,  when I used the IBM sent R&R disk I did not get the previously got "kernel_data_error BLUE system error screen. All 6 R&R original CDC got loaded into RAM and I am in the process of getting my system back to Factory State ( Just XP and IBM tools).
    I would like to know is it OK to keep IBM Access Connection or Not ? I am kinda scared to remove it ; Also Since bought this T43 , now and then the Microsoft Windows auto updates did make my system from XP-Service pack 2  --> and a year ago it automatically installed Service pack 3 automatically.  I just thought to mention this thinking can this be a problem in making my 2200Bg wireless  to fail with Uverse ISP modem? as with the same setup/configurations the my wireless was able to connect using WEP key encryption to my previous AT&T DSL router.  And Uverse Router requires WSP encryption per AT&T.
    Other thing I worried was can my uninstalling Spybot and then going to McAfee Sw would have caused anyproblem to make my Wireless go wrong with UVerse, bcoz once i had problem and the McAfee tech support remotely connected to my T43 and said my registry is messed up and they have to fix it to make the McAfee work Properly.
    Later when i got Uverse an AT&T friendly tech suggested that i better switch to AVG instead of McAfee; as McAfee uses too much of ram and it makes the computer to act slow and that may looks like the internet connection speed is slow. 
    ..Anyway  I am sharing these info to give as much I know thinking it may help people with same problem or the T$# geeks to think of solutions.
    George, Now that i think i have made my load back to factory state and wanna see will the 2000 bg wireless will work or not before Windows starts its auto upgrade to Sv.Pk 3 version ( thinking any interference or glitch or something of that nature).
    Also i am thinking of installing the new ThinkVintage tool; IS it OK?
    If u get a chance please throw some light, would greatly appreciate.  I will give an update if Intelpro wireless adaptor 2000bg works with AT& T uverse transition ( from DSL).
    Mean while George where to you suggest me to buy parts/upgrades for this T43 (like better modem, more RAM etc. as i think like eBay or craiglist may give better pricing but i am not sure is it risky or not to buy )
    If nothing works this time i am thinking of buying flash drive wireless card form best buy - please advise.
    Thank you George, I am not a computer  geek but i am happy that this forum exposed me to many smart  thinkpad users and trouble shooters. Please give advise whenever u feel u got some solutions.
    Thanks, again,
    Jas
    P.S. soory if my replies are long; but i thought to give more info so that u can get bettter idea of the real problem or needs of mine

  • Lost wireless connection with mx860

    i lost my wireless connection with my mx860 - please help, i have tried it all
    thank you

    Did you solve your printer connection problem?  I have the same issue.  When I first turn the system on, it is connected.  But after a short time (a few minutes?) it loses connection between Mac and printer, even tho both are connected to my WIFI.  I have to turn the printer and and off to reconnect it to the Mac.  Very frustrating.  I have checked Netgear, Printer and Mac settings and can't find any explanation.

  • Zyxel pk500z router/wireless modem loses wireless connectivity with imac

    My iMac loses wireless connectivity with wirelss internet from my Qwest  ZyXel PK5000Z modem/router intermittently. Have to constantly reboot the router to allow my Imac and other Mac notebooks nto reconnect to wireless internet connection.

    Suggest that you take one or more of Mac laptops down to the coffee place and connect there to check  your performance. If you get a good connection there....as I suspect you will...you know the Macs are functioning correctly.
    If the Macs perform well at the coffee place, you need to contact the ZyXel support folks for ideas on why the PK5000Z device is requiring constant restarts.
    As you might imagine....on an Apple support forum, we are not going to be able to provide much help with a ZyXel product.

  • TS1702 My brand new iphone5 will not connect to my home wifi even though my ipad and old iphone do connect with no problem. What can I do?

    My brand new iphone5 will not connect to my home wifi even though it recognizes it. My ipad and my old iphone4s connect with no problem. Any thoughts?

    Although your other devices connect okay, it would be worth resetting your router by switching if off for disconnecting it from mains power for 2 minutes and then switch it on again.
    Good luck and do report back.

    My guess is that the security settings on your router and iPod do not match.
    For a test, change your router so there is no security.  See if you can connect and get to the Internet. If that works, set up the router with security and use the same settings for the iPod.

  • Problem with connetction to wrt54g2 via wireless connection with WPA/WPA2 & wireless MAC filter

    Hello,
    I'm Alexey from Novosibirsk, Russia.
    I have a problem with connection to wrt54g2 from my DELL D630 notebook via wireless connection. When I setup WPA/WPA2 in wireless security and wireless MAC filter I can't connect from notebook to WRT - in Windows I see that dynamic IP address from WRT is not assigned. When I switch off security mode to disable always OK, but I need a wireless security between DELL and WRT.
    Connection via cable Ethernet port is OK.
    Can You help me?

    Have you tried the different laptop...?
    Download 1.71 MB the firmware for WRT54G2 v1 and reflash the router's firmware.After reflashing/upgrading the router's firmware,reset the router for 30 seconds and reconfigure the router from scratch. 

  • Problem wireless connection with WPA2 Enterprise

    Hello,
    I am experiencing an annoying problem while trying to connect at the wireless network at the University, adopting WPA2 Enterprise. After some days of frustration I decided to post a help message here, I hope it's the right section (my problem could be kernel related...). Basically I can't connect to the network, no matter how many times i may try. Other operating systems do not give me the same problem, I can connect without issues thus my card is working properly.
    Summarizing:
    - My card is a BCM4313 (Broadcom), natively supported within the kernel by the module brcmsmac.
    - I tried the module wl as well, with no result.
    - I tried both Arch standard kernel and the LTS one.
    - I am Gnome user, hence I use NetworkManager (never had a problem in the last 2 years at least...)
    - I tried Wicd as well (in the past it was working when NM was failing), with no result.
    - Both MS Windows, Ubuntu and Linux Mint (driver brcmsmac) allow me to connect to the network.
    - The problem occurrs only in case of WPA2 Enterprise, unfortunately this is a "parameter" I cannot change...
    What follows is a portion of NM log file, where I isolated the part related to one connection attempt.

    As I said before, it may be a kernel related problem, but it seems very strange since I would expect a higher number of users experiencing some troubles.
    As a final note, I've been Arch-dependent since 4 years already and I love it. I can't really imagine to change distribution just for this...but I am stuck at present and I need to work with the laptop, so any help is really appreciated. 
    Thank you

    I did what you suggested and I could connect to the network, ergo it was a NetworkManager problem.
    I am migrating to netctl, and I will test it at the university in the next days. I hope it will work.
    Thanks for the hint, I should have done this test in the first place...:(

  • How to secure wireless connection with additional laptop and ipod touch.

    Hello,
    We are new to Mac and struggling with internet security. 
    We have a wireless internet dongle that connects into a USB port and some days our ipod touch can connect other days it cant, I am never prompted for a password to connect.  This morning we were setting up a new laptop for our daughter and it found our wireless network and informed us it was unsecured. So we assume anyone within range is utilising our wireless connection.
    If I turn on firewalls it shuts off everything, if we look at airport we get even more confused.
    Is there a simple way to resolve this so our internet connection is for our house only and new devises that try to connect need to enter a password.
    Thank you for your help!
