Got new linksys router WRT160NL , but situation same. Tried reboot, renew lease, forget network, reset network setting. Pls advice

Have you tried a simple reset of your iPod to see if that helps? To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Otherwise, have you tried any of the troubleshooting mentioned in this Apple support document?

Unable to use Internet Connect with my new wireless device

I just received a new wireless device for my macbook pro. Normally I sign on with Internet Connect, but after setting up the new card, I can only connect using Verizon Manager, which usually doesn't give me good connection, I don't know why.
I called the Verizon people, they mostly are clueless as to how I was able to sign on using both Internet Connect and Verizon Manager before with my old card. I remember there's a way of setting up manually if you want to use Internet Connect. Problem is, when I went to Systems Preferences and clicked on Network, a pop up prompt saying "your network setting have been changed by another application" keeps popping up even as I keep closing it. ***?!!! How can I get rid of it so I can change network setting manually?
I just want the option of connecting with Internet Connect with my new wireless device. BTW, when I try connecting with it using my old setting National access/ Broadband access , I get a message saying "the selected communication device does not exist".

"I just received a new wireless device"
If not from Verizon, then who? Did it come w/a manual? If not, have you contacted the vendor/manufacturer for instructions?

Since Updating to 10.9.5 Safari and the App Store drop internet connection periodically while other apps Mailplane and Epic Browser continue to work ?

Hello.
Since Updating to 10.9.5 Safari and the App Store drop internet connection periodically while other apps Mailplane and Epic Browser continue to work ?
Never had this problem previously running a Macmini Server 2010 with the latest Mavericks Updates
Tried reinstalling over my existing OS and seemed ok until I once again updated to the latest security and Safari updates
Any ideas ?
Using ethernet but wireless acts same,

I also forgot to note that this problem also persists with the new iBooks application. I cannot get past the 'Get Started' screen or access the iBooks Store. Again, all top bar menus are unresponsive.

Unexpected shutdowns and loss of internet connectivity on brand new 420t

Hi,
I was experiencing unexpected shutdowns (would see safe mode choices when turned PC back on) and also intermittent internet connectivity issues.
To Fix:
In device manager, I turned off the option in the Realtek Network Controller Power management tab to allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.
It's been working like a charm so far (2 days). I'm not so sure HP should be building PCs with this option set. There are no updates that I haven't installed either. PC still sleeps (can see nic lights go off) and wakes up just fine.
Other that that we really like this PC...Beats Audio wasn't impressive with only the internal speakers, then I tried a good set of external tweeters and a subwoofer and then it was realized.
Hope this helps someone.

Troy,
Thanks for the suggestion. It sounds like you've heard that others have had this problem. Is that right?
And are you suggesting that the kernel panics and the loss of Internet connection are related? They often happen independently of one another.

How to solve poor internet connection for iPad New due to bugs or glitch in ios6

I m using iPad New with ios6 version. Since the upgrade I m facing a very serious internet connection for my ipad. Its worthless to have ipad when there is no internet connection or having difficulty to get the connection. Can someone give me some advice even up to the stage if downgrading to the previous version which is known to be working very well.

First, presumably your WiFi network is connected to the Internet right? However, even if so, you may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
Your router may not have given your iPad a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the "i" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Do not reset your router. Next, reset network settings on your iPad (Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

Internet connection drops with new HH4....

I recently signed up to a new deal with BT and had to pay for my HH4. I have it all connected up the exact same way as my HH3. I am receiving a faster connection now but am now getting VERY frequent internet connection drops....
My PC is wired to the HH so NOT a wireless issue. I have checked ALL my microfilters and seem to be working. Nothing within my home has changed apart from the homehub. I used to be connectiong at around 6.5Mb, I am now connecting between 7.5 and 8Mb....
9 times out of 10 the connection drops when I receive an incoming call.... but not always. I can make outgoing calls with ZERO issues....

I forgot to state also that I since removed the HH4 and put my old trusty HH3 back into use......... it does the EXACT same thing now.........
BT engineer was out to fix the line in February of this year. A new main box was fitted (which I was billed for) and he also fitted an iplate to the box to allow the hub to be connected without the need for a filter since they are built in.......
an Iplate will not do away with any filters and they will be required on all sockets - unless you mean a filtered faceplate not iplate - 2 sockets 1 adls and 1 phone

How do I transfer itunes library from an old computer that is not internet connected to a new computer that is internet connected?

We have an old computer that is broken so no internet connection possible, but now want to transfer our iTunes Library from old computer to our new computer. Can it be done and if so how?

You will have to use a storage device to do so, such as a hard drive or media disk(DVD).

Completely lost all internet connection on brand new MacBook Pro

2 week old 2011 17-in MacBook Pro, running Lion (factory installed). I should note that this is my first Mac, so I'm still learning my way around, however it's highly unlikely I did anything to cause this to happen.
The problem is pretty simple - I have lost all internet connectivity no matter what method it's connected. I have tried it on my company network via ethernet, and several different WiFi networks. All connections are recognized as connected, but I cannot make any outside connection.
We've rebooted networks servers, rebooted/shut down the Mac, re-checked all of the network settings - everything is what it should be.
Everything literally was working perfect one second and completely lost the next.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

Mac, PC, Internet connections, etc... I may be in the wrong place...

Does anyone have an awful time maintaining their internet connection? Please direct me to another forum if there is one on this topic. My settings with Verizon, my ISP, are to the letter.
I need to run Network Diagnostics 6-8 times an hour (sometimes more) in order to reestablish my internet connection. This never happened when I was using a Windows based product.
I thought that it might be the fact that I have a Mac and my husband has a PC, and that maybe there was some peculiar compatibility thing happening, but unfortunately it happens when he is not even here. I'm not eager to call a "geek squad" because I've hear they've done more harm than good.
Has anyone else experienced this? The Genius Bar guy couldn't help me, and my settings with Verizon are what is expected.
Thanks for any help...
Best,
Sheila

The router (if you have one) is the box connected to the modem, which is connected to the internet line-in.
This is the basic setup: Internet connection (like a cable line) -> Modem -> Router -> Computer
If it's only going to one computer, though, you may have something like this: Internet Connection -> Modem -> Computer.
Your problem is almost certainly hardware. Make sure all cords are plugged in (or screwed in, as the case may be) tightly and securely. Check to see if any of them look frayed or blackened at all (which would indicate they aren't working properly). Also, try resetting the connection by unplugging modem (and router if applicable).
The modem will be directly connected to your internet connection. The router will be connected to the modem. The router most likely also has things connected to it (computers, wireless base, or both) unless it is a wireless router.
It's hard to diagnose without being able to see it, but it sounds like a hardware issue.

Laptop internet connection no longer works after adding Time Capsule to network

The other day I was setting up my Time Capsule for the first time at my new apartment (after having it in a box for months). I've got internet access through my apartment, so I haven't needed to use it as a router like I did the last time I used it. Also, the router is in another tenant's room. So I opened Airport Utility and adjusted the settings to add the Time Capsule to the network. After doing this, my laptop has lost its Internet connection. I can still connect to the network and my iPad has had no issues connecting to the same network and using the Internet, but the Internet won't work on my MacBook Pro (2006 model).
Since then, I've plugged an ethernet cable between my laptop and Time Capsule so I could find it on Airport Utility and change its settings to connect to the laptop via Ethernet. Also, I called my landlord and got the router reset.
I know the Time Capsule/Airport Utility is involved because the Internet connection died as soon as I tried adding my Time Capsule to the network.
Any suggestions?

I am having the same problem. It worked fine (connecting my iOS devices to my macbook pro using internet sharing) until Lion. Then it all went to ****.

Internet Connection Lost Once 2nd Router Added to Network

I am at a point of complete loss and frustration and absolutely cannot figure this out.
About 4 months ago, I decided to add a 2nd router to my home network. I have a large house and was having connection issues in certain spots. My set up is:
Cable Modem ---(ethernet)--> Airport Extreme --(ethernet)--> Time Capsule
I have the network set up as a single network (Time Capsule extends the network). I followed all the Apple instructions and everything set up with ease and worked flawlessly. I was able to confirm that devices would switch from the Extreme to the Time Capsule depending on location. It was wonderful. Wifi bliss in my home!
Yesterday morning, I showed that I was connected to my wifi network but I could not get any data. Airport Utility showed Green Lights next to my 2 devices but an Orange light next to "Internet" with a status of Disconnected. I assumed it was an issue on my ISP side and went through a modem reboot and some other steps before confirming that I did in fact have an internet connection (hard wired ethernet from modem to MBP). I went through the same steps as before (after restores through the Airport Utility menu) and my wifi network comes back when the Airport Extreme is connected but as soon as the Time Capsule is connected, the Airport Utility shows that I am disconnected from the internet and I have no data transfer.
After hours of soft resets, hard resets, and factory resets including changing the name of the network and resetting/unplugging the cable modem I became convinced that the Airport Extreme was the culprit (I bought it "new" open box on ebay). So I bought a brand new Airport Extreme and the same thing happened. I tried various configurations including taking the Time Capsule out of the equation and going Airport Extreme to Airport Extreme and absolutely nothing works. Bottom line: Once I add a 2nd hard wired router to extend my network, I lose my connection to the internet and it says "Disconnected" at the top point of the Airport Utility. When I have a single router connected, everything works fine (I am using it right now).
Does anyone have any idea what would be causing this? I did not do any updates or anything odd. I just woke up one morning and something that worked for 4 months flawlessly is completely impossible to use.

I figured out the issue and resolved the problem. The Airport Extreme had WAN in from the Cable Modem and LAN out to the Time Capsule and to my DirecTV Home Cinema kit. I re-set up everything with all unnecessary LAN connections disconnected and it worked. I plug in the DirecTV LAN line and it all goes down again. It looks like the DirecTV Cinema device was frozen and causing the issue. Once I pulled the plug and rebooted it, everything went back online.
I have no idea why a frozen DirecTV Cinema device would cause this problem but it was definitely the culprit. Now I have an extra Airport Extreme. Sigh.

Firefox stops loading pages and hoses internet connection for all other apps

Running Firefox 3.6.3; XP sp3; FSecure Client Security 9
After using Firefox for a while - sometimes a few minutes, sometimes a few hours, it will stop loading pages. If I click on a link, nothing happens. The program still responds to key / mouse input, but refuses to load any new pages. Furthermore, it stops all internet connections from my machine, so that IE and Opera stop working. I think it also stops email, but I am not sure.
If I quit Firefox, the process is still running and I have to quit it manually from Task Manager. That solves the problem and internet connections are restored.
I have tried in safe mode, I have tried removing all extensions, I have tried deleting my profile and doing a clean re-install. It's driving me crazy. Any thoughts?

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, maybe after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.
