AEX weak signal after years OK

Hi,
For a week or 2, my AEX signal has been extremly poor in other rooms than where the AEX is. To the point I can get disconnected if I'm not in plain view of the AEX, approx. 10m away.
I decided to measure the exact values with istumbler, and I found that it's max 30% signal strength, and no more than 60% 1 meter away from the AEX (respectively -85/-90dbm and -60/-90dbm signal/noise ).
I tried all the 13 channels, different laptops, and disconnected everything that could interfere, with no help.
are these numbers OK ? (I'm sure I really did have better signal before, I even used to watch movies over wifi in the other room) and if not, what could cause such problem ? could the AEX be damaged in some way ?
next week I will try to measure the signal with the AEXs at work to compare the numbers.
any advices? thanks.

Hello
I am having a similar problem. I just stream music and it has been working fine for years. My son changed the configuration by removing some of his equipment and I have to do a hard re-set. I got the system up and running again, but the music is choppy, stopping and starting a lot sometimes. My buffer size is set to large. My computer is upstairs and the Airport express is just downstairs, they are almost on top of each other. What can be done to improve streaming?

Weak signal after renaming network

This is so strange-- I renamed my network and now reception is very weak (one or two bars)!
The only thing I did was to rename the Extreme and then reset my airport express to play iTunes.
Can anybody please give me some tips to increase wifi strength?
Thanks.

Thank you for your prompt response. Updating the firmware, restarting Extreme, turning Airport on and off... nothing seemed to work. In the end, I yanked out the ethernet and plugged it directly into my MacBook, then restarted. I plugged the ethernet back into the Extreme and presto! --Back to a full signal. I guess sometimes there's not a logical explanation for things. Your reaching out much appreciated.

Hello jakz,
I would to suggest to try clearing the Browser cache and then re-insert the battery, Open the Browser> Select the Menu (3 dots)> Select Privacy and Security> Clear Cookies and Other Data.
In regards to your BBM, when you go into the Hub does it display a red star next to BBM but no new notifications?
Thanks.

Weak Signal or No Service after upgrading firmware 1.1.2

I live in Los Angeles, Hollywood area, and for the past 2 months have had nothing but headaches with weak signal strength, no signal, dropped calls and slow data service. Sometimes the phone will have 5 bars then go down to zero bars or no signal without even moving! I think it must be the iphone/at&t service/software, since my friends on standard phones with AT&T seem to not have these issues.. I have seen on other message boards that other iPhone users around the country are experiencing similar issues...
No one seems to answer my question, "Could this problem be related to the Edge/3G combination have anything to do with this problem? The first 5 months of using the Iphone, I only noticed slight weak signal problems, generally related to having the wifi radio on. But this problem is occurring with wifi off. I have Reset the Phone, restored the phone, re-seated the SIM card, check to ensure SIM show no physical damage, all to no avail. You folks need to give me some real answers, and not just the standard we don't know. Now I must add there are some places like 6700 Hollywood Bl. where the signal is great both Voice and Data, but a 1700 N. Las Palmas the signal drops off to one bar, and at 1737 N. Las Palmas Av. it goes to No Service. Please help Please help!

You folks need to give me some real answers, and not just the standard we don't know.
Firstly, "we" folks here are iPhone users, just like yourself, not Apple employees (though there are a few who sometimes post here of their own volition, and not because they have to). So your problem will be answered or advised on depending on our own experiences with the iPhone. To that point, I am in the UK, and am one of those people who have suffered from exactly the same problem as you: my iPhone gets very poor reception in areas where other 02 (UK network) phones get near perfect reception. There is a rather long thread on this topic, and another similar one which was started when the original was locked by the mods. I'm afraid that after much troubleshooting, we are still no closer to finding the source of the problem. What seems pretty clear is that the iPhone antenna probably isn't as sensitive as those of other phones. Also, it's on the bottom of the phone, so can be covered with your hand causing a drop in signal strength. It may also be that in an attempt to conserve battery life, the iPhone doesn't boost the signal as much as it should. But there are all speculations at the moment.
You best best is to communicate your feedback directly to Apple at:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
I'm sorry not to be of more help. If you'd like to look at the other UK threads, they are at:

Weak Wifi signal after upgrading Iphone to 4.1

I had a perfectly working Wifi home connection on a new iPhone 4 running 4.01 and 4.02.
After upgrading to 4.1 yesterday, the wifi has gone bad: the connection strength has dropped - at least- 10 fold. I have to stand next to the router to get connected. Before I had excellent connection at long distances.
Nothing has changed to the router, and I still have excellent wifi connectivity with my MacBook, iPad, and another iPhone.
Seems that the upgrade to 4.1 somehow broke the wifi connectivity.
Help!
S.

I am experiencing hte same thing. Except I started with 4.1 and I am getting very weak signal compared to my buddies iPhone which is also running 4.1. Which is weird .. I guess I will call in tommorow any ideas ??

Weak signal / Lost Cancel Divert and Unknown Caller

Phone : Nokia C3-01 I have been on Orange for many years and on Thursday night started losing signal. After process of elimantion narrowed it down to the sim.and next day went to EE shop and changed the sim to a new one. All was working fine however when somebody called me it would come up as Unknown Call. I also lost the option of Diverting my number from the menu (Settings --> Call --> Divert Calls) Anyway after many times calling the helpline we noticed that if I put that sim in a samrtphone (iphone 6) everything works fine however if I put it back into a non-smartphone once again receive Unknown Call and divert option is missing. Tried this on my Nokia 8800 Arte which is a non-smartphone and still same. This morning put my old sim back (which is dead) and the Cancel Divert option appears. So rang helpline to get my old sim activated and once it was activated all options there but once again weak signal. Anyway after an hour I recevied a text message saying my settings have been updated I need to reboot phone. I rebooted phone and guess what...full signal but just as the new sim lost Divert option and Unknown Caller comes up. So Orange/EE please can you help as it appears the settings you are sending is affecting NON-SMARTPHONES. How long can we put up without caller id???

Hi
Some users on Orange are experiencing issues with Caller Line ID.
Whenever someone calls it just shows as Unknown.
The issue is currently under investigation and they are working on a fix.
It sounds like the SIM swap may have triggered the issue.
Sorry for the inconvenience!
Thanks.

Mac mini i5 2.5 + LCD Liyama x2775hds no signal after shutdown

mac mini i5 2.5 + LCD Liyama x2775hds no signal after shutdown plaese help guys

If the firmware required an update, and that was not applied,
a problem may exist where a cure could have fixed it...
Identification of the model, so as to apply the correct item
is important; since the incorrect one won't fix an issue in
hardware it was not intended to resolve.
•Mac mini EFI Firmware Update 1.6 - for 2011 MINI
helps issue with USB ports and connectivity
•Mac mini EFI Firmware Update 1.7 - for 2012 MINI
helps issue with HDMI issue, not said to be for 2011.
There may be a hardware issue, so if the unit is correctly
identified as a 2011 model, the firmware update may not
help, as it is Not said to address that specific issue. So,
you may need to inquire of an Apple Authorized service
or ask an Apple Store with Genius bar about the unit, it
may (or may not) be something they could help you with.
You could try & see if this reset (try more than once) could
help the issue; it may be a hardware failure. Check all the
cables, plugs, and ports to see if the issue is not in Mini.
•Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) - Apple Support
Perhaps a genius could perform a stress test on video
or see if some other items appear weak in a test. If a
genius in official Apple Store location is unavailable, you
may have to locate an authorized service provider who
has staff with experience troubleshooting Mini graphics.
A problem may indicate a repair, if SMC reset, or other
hardware (cable, display, other cause) doesn't fix it.
Did you try the SMC reset to see if the system power
management controller may affect this situation?
If you are sure (by serial number lookup or records) the
computer is a Mid 2011 build, not a Late 2012, the first
and earlier EFI firmware update may have been applied
already. Correct identification helps in such matters...
•PS: Do the web page URLs in your post have significance?
Good luck & happy computing!

Airport Extreme - Weak Signal - 2 meters away

I just bought an airport extreme and after connecting it to the ADSL modem, my iMac is getting weak signal at times, down to 6 bar out of 15 bars. I don't get this problem with my old Netgear Wireless G router. There is no obstruction between my airport extreme and my iMac (about 2 meters away). Is there something I missed, please help.
Note: I noticed that my neighourhood has at least 6 - 7 open network (unprotected) and my iMac can see most of them, could that be the cause of my weak signal?

Pointdexler, Welcome to the discussion area!
Yes RF interference can cause problems with you trying to receive and connect to your wireless network. Try changing the channel used by the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) to one which is far away from those used by your neighbors.

Intermittent Weak Signal; is base station dying? (Graphite)

I have a graphite base station running through a Netgear router and then a cable modem. For the past few months I've been experiencing an intermittent weak signal, which makes internet browsing extremely frustrating. There are 3 computers that use the internet through the base station - 2 running Jaguar, 1 with Panther. (Planning to update the Jaguars to Tiger very soon). The base station has been in the same location for years. This seems to be a dense wireless location, so I suspected interference. So, I tried several things including changing the channel several times, physically moving the station somewhat, changing multicast rate, changing password, etc. Though there are times when I do get a relatively normal speed internet transmission, I'm still experiencing the random periods of extreme slowness. The slowness seems to occur most often when I've been online for awhile or late in the day.
Any opinions? Should I think about replacing the base station or is it possible that some interference problems are insurmountable? Other ideas? Thanks for suggestions.
Jen

No, there isn't any unusual LED behavior. The signal/transmission is just very very slow sometimes.
The utility program connects and functions normally. Also, I checked the router via an ethernet cable. It is running normally, at normal speed. The problem appears to be occurring in the ABS (v 3.84).

MacPro n card in MBP weak signal...this a possible cause?

After adding a MacPro card to my MBP CD I was surprised to see a weak signal when using an n enabled network (AEBSn). I was also surprised to see that g performance and signal strength was weaker also.
I know I wasn't alone in wondering why, but I think I may have found out the cause. Everyone knows that the C2D MB and MBP uses a 3 antenna array on a Atheros chip...however, the MacPro, AppleTV and probably the iMac all use a 2 antenna connection Broadcom card. Why only 2 antenna? Well, I think (from what I have read) that the 2 antenna leads are actually coaxial cables with a antenna within a antenna...what I think is called a 2x2 antenna array, allowing for MIMO and the high n rated speeds.
Thoughts? This has been bugging me since I installed the card and I just could not understand why I would lose so much signal and gain so much noise. Curious to see what everyone else thinks.

Same.. ish..
had a DG834G.. all fine..
gave it to inlaws..
got a DG834N
Apple genius said coz the imacG5 is G connected all is G.. fair enough kinda guessed that.
So hard wired the G5.
MBP still drop to 2 bars then hangs.. never had this with G.
AppleTV is further away and is 4bars fine.
Put MBP where imac is.. 3 bars.. itunes 720p footage stutters where same clip on iMac running atG would stream fine.
Think the MBP wireless is pretty pants, fine for surfing..
What i didnt know, as speed of wireless gets faster.. ie file transfer.. range drops.. so I get hangs on file transfers.
Gonna drop the router back to G in the morning see if that sorts it.

I bought my iPhone 4 open line in Vancouver, Canada last week for use here in my home base in Bangkok, Thailand. But when I tried using my Thai sim, I get a very weak signal, if not a weak signal, then a no service status. What do I do?

I bought my iPhone 4 open line in Vancouver, Canada last week for use here in my home base in Bangkok, Thailand. But when I tried using my Thai sim, I get a very weak signal, if not a weak signal, then a no service status. I also have very weak wifi reception. What do I do?
I already tried the following:
a. Turned the phone off and then on.
b. Checked all wifi connections – no problem given that all our laptops and desktops can connect seamlessly.
c. I tried restoring the phone to original factory settings via itunes
d. Tried resetting the phone.
e. Tried different microsims from all networks
f. However, all methods failed given that the network reception is very weak and often reflects – “no service”. And with regards to the wifi reception It has difficulty in reading even the signal right in front of the wifi router.
I went to two Apple resellers here in Bangkok and requested that they please look at my Iphone and have it serviced. I was frustrated when they said that given that I bought my phone in Canada, they are not able to support me and should instead try to contact the Apple store in Canada.
I went to apple.ca website and went to the expresslane support and I was said to register and callback. Tried calling the 1800 number but given that I was in Thailand I had difficulty getting a connection.

After years of owning all things Mac, I am finally trying to use iChat, and can't get it to work. I see my buddy, but all I can do is send a message--the video and audio chat icons are gray, as is inviting to a video chat under Buddies.

After years of owning all things Mac, I am finally trying to use iChat, and can't get it to work. I am using gmail, and I see my buddy (no camera icon next to her name), but all I can do is send a message--the video and audio chat icons are gray, as is inviting to a video chat under Buddies. My buddy has the same problem as I. We are able to do video chat through gmail, but I had hoped to use iChat. I am using OS 10.6.8, iChat v. 5.0.3. What am I missing?

HI,
iChat will Video chat to another iChat in a Jabber Buddy List (Google run a Jabber server for GoogleTalk)
However it will not Video to the Web Page login to iGoogle or the Web Mail Page login. (where people can Google Chat as it were in a Web Browser).
Nor does it video to the Google Talk Stand alone app for PCs or any other Jabber apps on any platform.
iChat uses a connection Process called SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) which is also used by other VoIP devices.
Jabber/XMPP invited the Jingle Protocol for Jabber Applications.
Google have included this in their Standalone app and the Plug-in for Web Browsers on both PCs and Mac (you can get this as a Standalone Plug-in or as part of Chrome)
More on this here This article has been changed several time in the recent months. It now claims a greater involvement by Google in writing the Jingle Library (Although now Google's version does not work with the others)
This tends to mean that using the web Login to Google to Chat also cannot video chat to other Jabber apps that are using Jingle.
If your Buddy is using iChat then check the Video Menu has two items to Enable Camera/Video chat and Microphone/Audio chats are ticked.
In the View Menu the Show Status Items should be ticked (Selecting them toggles the tick and the function On or Off)
It could be Internet speed but at this stage I would doubt this at this stage.
