3rd gen atv drop wifi Internet connection?

Why does my new 3rd gen atv drop wifi Internet connection? 2nd gen in bedroom works fine

Hi Gvegastiger,
The problem might be just with your iMac, so I will suggest you to check your firewall on your iMac, and if it is on make sure you are allowing incoming traffic in the area you need to work with...
Second I would check the Proxy settings on your iMac as well under Network profile. Also for troubleshooting purposes leave the IP address DHCP if you have it set static. And Under Network/Ethernet make sure you have it set "Automatically"
Third make sure you use ether Wireless or just Wired connection, not both. I don't know your network layout but if you have to separate networks that will be a problem when you have both of them enabled on separate networks.
Let me know if this helps,
Goran

Time Capsule drops wifi/internet connection and flashes amber

Time Capsule drops wifi/internet connection and flashes amber. I've tried unplugging it and my modem but it continues to do this every so often. The time capsule is out in the open, so I don't think it's a heat issue. It's running firmware 7.7.3. Anyone else having this issue? Any suggestions on how to fix it? It's driving me crazy!

Bought the time capsule in Oct 2013. I have a Sagemcom 2864 modem from Bell but used through Teksavvy. The 5 ghz has been flaky until I upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.1 I think. I had a closer look at it and it appears that the wifi is ok. I was thrown off by the wifi symbol being all animated in the menu bar. I was able to ping the time capsule via wifi. All the status lights on the modem looked ok. Next time it happens, I'll see if I can get some more details. Do you know if there's anyway to get some logs from the airport utility?

Time Capsule Dropping Wifi/Internet Connection

My 2 TB 2013 Airport Time Capsule has been dropping signal the last several days. I have tried all of the troubleshooting but nothing has solved the problem. I payed over $300.00 for this and its not proving to have been a very good investment. Has anyone else had this issue and solved it?
To be clear all of my devices stil pickup the Airport Time Machine but are either unable to connect or are connected but without internet access. The machine works fine some times and other times it messes up again.

The setup is wrong..
Thanks for the screen shot.. that indeed answered my question.
You see the LAN IP is your public IP.. this is wrong. The TC is either bridged or set to static IP.
But it has to be working as the main router of the network.
The reason you are having trouble is the ISP only will pass one IP and the first device to turn on captures it. The rest will have wireless without internet.
So start over.. make sure the TC is in router mode.. the best way is simply do a factory reset and start again. Go into the manual setup of the TC if the automated setup put you in this situation.
Make sure internet is set to dhcp.
And make sure the Network tab is set to DHCP and NAT
You might need to power cycle the cable modem.. this can take 20min off time.. and sometimes more.. for it to correctly allocate the public IP to the TC.
In the new setup.. change your names to short (2-20 characters), no spaces and pure alphanumeric. Your list in the first post includes windows devices.. and the current name is not SMB compatible.
Wireless names should also follow suit. JWD as shortened form of the TC name.
JWD24ghz for the 2.4ghz name
JWD5ghz for the 5ghz name..
Just while you have issues.. set names to both bands.. so you can pick and choose.. again works better on non-apple stuff. And you can also try fixing wireless channels which also can help.
For 2.4ghz wireless there are only three non-overlapping.. 11, 6, 1 which I list in backwards order because that is the best way to try them..
For 5ghz.. a low channels.. 36-44 pick whatever.. and a high channel >100..
Post your results.

My MBP keeps dropping the internet connection

Since yesterday, my MBP (Late 2011) keeps dropping the internet connection from my Airport Express. I'm still connected to the network, it just loses the internet connection on the MBP. I restart the computer, and it works for a few minutes. I turn off router, and it works for a few mimutes...but no matter what I do, after 2-3 minutes, I get the exclamation mark in the wifi indicator saying there is no internet connection.
And this is only happening on that single MBP. All of the other devices in the house, another MBP (mid 2012), an iPad (retina with lightning connector) and 2 iPhones (one 4 and one 5), can all connect. And the router we have is an airport express.
Why is this happeneing only on the one computer, and how can I fix this?
Thanks.

First, changing your DNS settings could not possibly have any effect on this problem.
When you see an exclamation point in the Wi-Fi menu, from the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network
Click the Assist me button and select Assistant. Follow the prompts. You may get a warning that Wi-Fi is not available, that you're too far from the base station, or that you're using the wrong password.
Assuming that you've ruled out those possibilities, click the lock icon in the lower left corner of the preference pane and authenticate, if necessary. From the Location menu at the top of the window, select Edit Locations. A sheet will drop down. Click the plus-sign button to create a new location. Give it any name you want. In the new location, set up the Wi-Fi service with the same settings you used before. Click Apply and test.

My airport express frequently drops the internet connection. Once I unplug it and re-plug it in, everything is fine until it drops the signal again. This happens on a regular basis. Is there anything I can do ensure it maintains the internet connection?

My airport express frequently drops the internet connection. Once I unplug it, and re-plug it in, my Macbook Pro17,IMac 24, iPad air and my wife's Acer 15 works fine until it drops the signal again. This happens on a regular basis. Is there anything I can do ensure it maintains the internet connection?

It is tricky..
But yes it can be done as long as you use a different IP subnet to what is being used for the internet..
So I need to know what modem router you have?? Does it have wireless as that would make it very easy?
What IP is the computer getting?
Then I can give you the details to setup wireless statically on a different subnet.

My ipod touch 8gb 3rd generation keeps dropping wifi. I hate to reset since i've downloaded all of my itunes directly to my ipod. Help!

My ipod touch 8gb 3rd generation keeps dropping wifi. Doesn't matter where I am - happend ALL the time. Almost useless now except for all of my songs! We don't have any other problems with other computers in our house. I have downloaded all of my songs from itunes directly to my ipod (I know, I wish I hadn't) so I hate to reset or I will lose them all. I have never downloaded any updates (I know, I know!) so could this be my problem? How do I find downloads and what do I need? Please help if you can!

If I reset my ipod will the wifi dropping stop? I don't usually connect the ipod to my computer. I charge it from the wall. Should I be connecting to the computer instead? Takes so much longer. thanks for your help!
The reset may help with the WiFi issue, but you'll have to do the reset to be sure. It does seem to cure a wide variety of issues. At some point you should be connecting the iPod to your computer/iTunes account, otherwise you risk losing all of your music and other content if you have a problem with your iPod.

WiFi Internet connectivity problems after upgrade to 10.8.4

After upgrading to MacOS 10.8.4 I am facing regular interruptions to my WiFi internet connectivity. Periodically the internet connectivity is lost and the only way to fix the problem is to turn WiFi off and on again. This happens frequently when I am downloading files at using big bandwidth (more than 1.5-2 MB/s). If I use assist me on the Network preferences tab, it displays an ISP error when the connectivity is down, however I am certain that I do nota have any kind of ISP or router issue since at the same time I have WiFi internet connectivity from my iPad mini, iPhone 4S and Samsung Galaxy S3. Therefore it should be a 10.8.4 issue

Do you clean your iPad screen? Do not use standard window cleaners, with ammonia or alcohol, like Windex, but a damp towel, followed by a micro-fibre cloth is recommended. There are also cleaners you can buy which are specifically designed for iPad/iPhone devices, such as iClean from Monster.

I have an iPad mini - trying to set up a wifi internet connection on Windows 7 laptop.

Have a new iPad and need to still set it up. Problem is that it needs to connect to a wifi internet connection which I have set up on my Win7 laptop. The iPad mini sees the network but can't connect to it......... What am I doint wrong? I have set the network up via the adhoc network set up and have done everything as per the turorials I have seen, but it still won't to connect. Is this possible and if so, how do I do it? I have tried the ad-hoc network way and the iPad recognises it but can't connect to it. THANKS A MIL

Windows 7 Home Basic does not support ad hoc or hosted network functionality (what Connectify and Virtual Router use). At a minimum you would need to upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium. Note the Applies to these editions of Windows 7 statement at the right in this article.

Again using a broadband wireless (WiFi) router is the best way to go presuming its in your budget.

This issue was resolved! I didnt think about restoring my computer to factory settings but I did and now my computer works like brand new. basically, just back up your files and do the following:

Ipad 3rd gen shows blank screen when connecting to projector via HDMI AV adapter. I have an ipad 2 that works perfectly. Projector is a Dukane ImagePro 8106HA. Only difference I see is that the ipad 3 owner has not updated to IOS 6. Any thoughts?

Having upgraded to lion my imac drops the internet connect when not active

I have just upgraded to Lion and when I leave the computer unattended for a few minutes it drops its internet connection - therefore does not collect any email until I click on the Airport icon and reselect the network. Also when starting up the and automatically loading Firefox the home page shows the previous download.

I FINALLY SOLVED THIS ISSUE!!!!
New routers have "mixed" modes for your network; this means that it will automatically choose the best option between wireless-B, wireless-G and wireless-N network modes. I used to experience this issue using the 2.4 GHz. mixed mode wireless network.
Thankfully, my router can create 2 networks: a 2.4 GHz. network and a 5 GHz. network.
When I randomly changed this value to "use only wireless-B and wireless-G" trying to fix an issue with a wi-fi expander, the iMac wi-fi issue dissapeared! I tried it with wireless-N only, but it didn't work.
So, finally, I have a 2.4 GHz network with only wireless-B and wireless-G modes which works PERFECT with the iMac, and a 5 GHz. network with a mixed* wireless mode for everything else mode.
*PD: by "mixed" mode it means that the router will automatically choose between B, G and N network modes as it fits better.
