Airport connection drops under load.

Hello Community!
I have some serious Airport connection woes - whenever I heavily use the airport connection it seems to drop out every now and then. The intervals have no visible pattern, but the dropouts are directly linked to the amount of traffic going trough the Airport card.
The dropping is quickly and the Airport connection icon goes from the full 5 bars to greyed out and back. This happens at an increasing rate when it has happend for the first time after an restart.
Here's a screencast I took to illustrate the problem: [www.verpeiltaber.net/airport.mov] (Quicktime, 1.30MB)
It also drops out (invisibly) when I Skype-Out, which is extremely annoying as I pay money for that and then the other side cannot hear me anymore after such a dropout. Strangely it never kills the entire call tough. It never happens when the computer is tethered to a LAN-Cable.
I have reinstalled Leopard from scratch just two weeks ago. I upgraded from Tiger before and had the problems with that version of the Leopard install aswell. Tiger didn't exhibit the problems - which leads me to believe that this is a software issue.
The Router is a D-Link 524 with the newest aviable firmware, and has been resetted multiple times. Other computers using the same WLAN work without any hitch.
This issue has popped up in my office WLAN, which uses a Lucent Router, aswell.
I'm pulling my hairs out here - help me please!
Edit: All the latest updates are installed, like the recent Time Machine & Airport update. No third party extensions or mods are installed. The issue is operating-system - wide.

I have been having the same problem since upgrading to 10.5.2 and it's driving me nuts! Momentary disconnections every 10-15 minutes making messenger, iChat, etc. completely useless.
I purchased a 15" macbook pro for my partner 2 weeks ago - it's having the exact same issues. I'm thinking of returning the machine as I've tried everything. I have no problems with any other machine connected to my router.

Airport connection dropping off when computer sleeps

Starting with the latest 10.4.8 update my airport connection drops when the computer goes to sleep. No amount of configuring will get the computer to recognize my airport. Turning off the power to the airport, waiting, and re-connecting does no good. The only way to get wireless is to restart. Once restarted the airport connection is re-established without any configuration and continues to be fine until the computer goes to sleep. Hard wiring ethernet works at all times without problems.

thanks,
i read the doc, looked in the system prefs where my re-connect was set to "preferred" and there was only one wpa network listed. i deleted it from the list then re-added per the apple document. will see if this works.
in my own mind i don't think this is the solution but am keeping an open mind. the weird thing about my situation is that after the computer sleeps there are no available networks under the airport menu. i know in fact there are 4-6 in my area. after restarting the 4-6, including mine, networks are all there and my network has been connected to.

Airport Connection Dropping Off

Has anyone else had trouble with their Airport connection dropping off all of the sudden during a long download or transfering files across the network? If this is a common problem...I hope Apple is working on it.

I am getting the same thing. After starting a transfer of file, after awhile, it will state the wireless network has been change or comprimised (excuse my spelling) and the airport will be disable and enable in a minute. Then the finder stops responding, I cannot force quit out it and must restart the computer.

Battery level dropping under load while plugged in

Hi all,
I'm, the otherwise happy owner of a retina Macbook Pro form July 2014 (with a 85w power supply)
I have the issue that, whenever my computer is under load and uses the discrete graphics card, its dropping power - even though the charger was connected.I know the discrete graphics card uses up more power, but honestly it cannot be true that if I play a game in high settings on the macbook (which only has a keyboard, mouse and charger connected in that case), then the battery drops... It cannot sustain itself or what? (I have never experienced this with any other laptop, so I hope for the love of God, this is not what to expect).
Also, just the other day, I was using 2x external monitors (with their own power supplies), and just watching a Twitch (videogame stream) in a browserwindow on one of the screens, and the charge started dropping, even while plugged in again -- it dropped maybe (a wild guess) 10% an hour or so.
The setup there was: I had iMessage open on the screen on the macbook - nothing else; I had a PDF displayed on the first external screen and I had a browser-window open with a video-stream on the second external screen. A mouse, keyboard, powersupply and 2x videooutputs (1x HDMI, 1x DisplayPort), was connected to the macbook at that moment...
I mentioned that I couldnt play anything with high settings, or watch a videostream while using external monitors without draining the battery power to a friend that has had a few macs - he had note experienced it before, and told me to post in here (After we agreed that since the external displays had their own power supplies, they shouldn't be dealbreakers). I'm hoping you can help me shed some light on the issue and help me. If something might need to be sent back to Apple for replacement, I'd rather do it before I personalize it too much.
Thanks alot!

Thanks for the answers I see.... A shame since the 85W charger is by my understanding the highest wattage one Oh well, thanks!

Cache and/or Connection problems under load

I have a Kodo web app that's been running just fine in
production for many months now. However, recently the web
traffic has shot up by a huge amount, literally overnight.
But unfortunately, it's caused the app to fail very ungracefully
under the strain.
It's been a crazy few days, and I haven't been able to do
very much analysis because of higher priorities. But from
what I have been able to gleen, it now looks like Kodo is
the most likely culprit. From what I've read in other messages
here, it appears others may have been experiencing similar
problems.
My environment: Redhat Linux 8, Postgres 7.3.4 with the
included JDBC3 driver, Apache 1.3.x, Tomcat 4.1.x and the
webapp connector. Similar behavior was seen with Apache 2.x,
Tomcat 4.1.x and the JK2 connector (that was on the new machine
I setup to handle the new traffic, which, of course, died the
night before).
As I mentioned, this app has been running reliably for
months with no problems. But when placed under heavy load,
it appears to get into some sort of pathological state where
it slows down dramatically (asymptotically?) to the point where
it's effectively locked up. In one case, where the app was
left running for several hours in this state, requests were
taking 90 minutes to complete (normal is 1-5 seconds).
From what I can deduce, there seem to be four things
going on, three of which have been mentioned in recent threads
here:
1) Excessive memory consumption. When the app is
operating normally, I see fairly flat memory usage for
the JVM process. Under load, the JVM steadily expands
until it hits its heap limit. I've gotten OutOfMemory
exceptions with a heap size of 350MB, which should be plenty.
2) Level 2 cache locking issues. I've seen dozens of
threads waiting on a lock in the DataCache code. Not sure
if there's a deadlock happening here or just that the
threads are waiting on a lock that's being held for a long time.
3) Database Connection leaks or contention. I see threads
spinning in the DataSource code trying to get a connection.
I also see dozens of connections from the Postgres side which
seem to be sitting idle, but in the middle of a transaction.
When things get bad, I also see exceptions being thrown because
of timeouts waiting for a connection to become available. It's
a web app, PMs should not be tied up for more than a few seconds.
4) CPU usage pegged or nearly so for the JVM. I suspect
this is related to #3. Something very bad is going on here.
If I stop all inbound requests to the JVM when it's in this
bad state, it will continue to burn CPU at 90%+ for a very
long time. I think it will eventually finish what it's doing,
but I haven't had the luxury of waiting for it. It's definitely
not a linear slowdown proportional to the load.
Attached are my kodo.properties file and some thread stack
traces along with some comments. Any advice would be greatly
appreciated. This is not a complicated app nor am I doing
anything unusual. It doesn't seem logical that Kodo could
breakdown so dramatically under load, so I'm hoping it's some
sort of interaction thing that I can work around.
Thanks.

Please read prior posts regarding level 2 cache. It is unusable under stress
as far I am concerned. Basically entire cache gets locked on any database
read. Makes it very unscalable
Are you using 2.5.3? It will request a connection from a pool every time it
resolves reference to a PC even if it is cached in PM and therefore Kodo
does not need to read any. As result if you iterate over 100 objects in your
query and for each object resolve reference to another object (always the
same) kodo will request 100 database connections from the pool (and note
they issue rollback on every time they return a connection to the pool so
getting connection might be fairly expensive)
In conjunction with level 2 cache contention this causes application to go
into a stupor.
Try to go back to 2.5.2 (or may be 2.5.4 they promised in the near future
with a workaround) or use "persistent-manager" connection retention if you
discard PM after each HTTP invocation - it will take care of connection
pooling issue. As far as L2 cache I was unable to find any work around so
far - see if you might be better of without cache. You might if your object
graph is not very complex

With cahce enabled, 2.5.3
Here the app had recently slowed down and then effectively locked up.
There where many outstanding web requests that were not receiving output.
At this point most threads seemed to be waiting at the same location.
There were a large number of active database connections and most of
them had open transactions (according to pg_stat_activity). The app
was not responding to any web requests.
It would seem that db transactions had been started, then the thread
got stuck for a long time on a synchronization lock in the cache lookup.
Below are two randomly chosen thread stack dumps.

while running slow, 2.5.3
At this point, the app had been running several hours normally, then
apparently slowed down and locked up while I was away. When looking
at the app threads and database activity, everything appeared idle.
No transactions seemed to be open in the db. But the app was not
behaving normally. Web requests that did not make use of JDO worked
fine (but slow). But requests that hit the db either blocked or were
very slow to respond.
Looking back at the log, there had been a large number of requests
that threw exceptions because they could not get a connection within
five seconds.
Most threads were idle, waiting on read, but some were in the state
shown by the following two stack dumps. Unlike the cache threads above,
they did not seem to be waiting for a lock to be granted, they seemed
to be spinning in the connection management code. Apparently trying
to get a connection. I suspended and resumed the same thread repeatedly
and it always seemd to be doing the same thing. Single stepping was
very difficult because the debugger was slow to respond, apparently
because of other threads also busy spinning.
Postgres indicated that there where lots of connections open and
that they were all idle, so there should not have been a shortage
of connections in the pool. There are two mysteries here: 1) why
can't this thread get a connection? and 2) Why is it busy spinning?

This run was an accident. I inadvertently ran the app with the older

almost immediately. It also seemed to lockup with lots of opentransactions
in the db. It's also interesting that these two threads also seem to be
hanging around the same method as in 2.5.3.

Macbook airport connection drops and locks my computer

So... I think my problem tops them all. Ive done alot of searching and ive found no topic relative to mine.
- My intel macbook has an airport extreme that can succesfully connect to my schools network or my girlfriends network or my network at home. However...
Many times a day... as soon as i make my connection active by going on a web browser.
My Airport drops connection and locks my computer... only the mouse is avaliable, but
anything else i try to click.. i end up with the spinning beach ball. Only solution i can find
thus far is to force shutdown my computer and restart... Now i cant do a PRAM reset or
start up in safe mode. I dont know how to solve this...
Can anyone help me with this? It is incredibly annoying as i have to force shutdown my computer over 6 times a day which is... bad ... for my computer. More bad clusters.
Thanks much ... G

My problem is a variation on yours.
I don't lose the airport connection at all. I can connect to my Airport Extreme base station and surf the Internet without a any hassle. I can see the other computers connected to said AEBS. Network drives are mountable.
HOWEVER, as soon as I start to transfer a file or folder from or to a mounted network drive, the transfer hangs. The only solution is to power-off Airport to get the Mac to acknowledge losing connection to the network drive. Otherwise I would continue to stare enlessly at a frozen progress bar.
Hopefully 10.5.2 will address the issue.

MacBook Pro Airport connection drops out

I have a new and really cool MBP.
I have a 2 year old Airport Express connected to a Motorola Cable Modem creating my wireless home net.
I also have a 2 years old iBook G4 with no problem connecting to the airport.
My new MBP has no problem too when is connected to the AC. BUT when I run my MBP from the battery, the connection drops out randomly.
It's annoying and I cannot find any helpfull support or working solution at Apple.com nor at the other similar thread on this forum. I've tried some proposed solutions. But none worked more than some minutes (which mean that actually they didn't work).
I have some questions about all this:
1) Anybody knows if this is a Hardware or a Software issue?
2) Apple officially said anything about this problem?
3) Can I use my purchase warranty in order to demmand a replacement?
4) Is there any official or unofficial solution that really works?
Please, help. I think it's very stupid to have a nice and really expensive laptop without real wireless capability,
Who want a wireless connection if you aren't able to use it when you are not connected to the AC????
If I was running Vista on Dell or HP laptop I would understand. But on a Mac???
COME ON APPLE!!!!!
This is the 2nd BIG problem I am facing with my new MBP since I bought it on July. I am frustrated and tired. First I couldn't use Motion 3 for like a month because of a bad update. Now I realize the wireless capability is crap.
I have the feeling that the older Apple Computers are better... at least they work!

I had the same problem on my MacBook Pro for the last month or so after "updating" to 10.4.10. Yesterday I tried Loki's fix but couldn't connect at all after that. So I did an archive/install of 10.4.9 and it works better than ever before. I get full signal and it is a lot snappier and faster. The problem is likely in the 10.4.10 update, hopefully Apple will get that fixed in 10.4.11

JNDI Connections Hang Under Load. Is this a bug ??

Hi
We are using Oracle application server and the Oracle Directory Server. I have a simple servlet making JNDI calls to fetch an attribute, under load JNDI calls are hanging creating a large back log of threads that won't go away till the application server crashes. We are using the Sun Hotspot VM 1.3 on Solaris.
I noticed on this forum that several other people have had this problem. Is this jndi limitation or bug ? Is there a known fix for the problem ? It looks like under load even though directory server is up and running alright, serveral JNDI threads hang waiting on a monitor.
thanks in advance
Raghu ..

Hi Raghu,
I'm interested in this issue. I wanted to know a few things
1. Are you using a pool of servlet instances or a single instance for all requests.
2.In your servlet are you directly calling the jndi lookup, if so can u pl.provide a snap shot code of that.
3.What is the load, at which your application getting failed.
4.Have you implemented any thread safe mechanisms like implementing SingleThreadModel, or using synchronized service method(which actually should not be done)....
let me know the above details,,
Thanks

Airport Connection 'Drops' on Mac Pro Running 10.5.6

I have read the many incidents on this forum of Leopard problems / connection inconsistencies via Airport & a a wireless router.
It has become almost impossible to sort the wheat out from the chaff with regards to solutions for this problem.
I have tried the following 'solutions':
Deleting potentially conflicting / out of date preferences,
Clearing / deleting caches using Onyx,
Repairing Permissions,
Creating a new 'location' in Network Preferences,
Using Open DNS service
The connection still drops at least once every hour as detailed in my Bug Report (sent via online form) below:
Any updates on this? Is there a definitive solution, yet?
I don't have the option to rollback the operating system with Time Machine... my Time Machine drive failed just before this. Fortunately, all of my documents are backed up elsewhere.
If you need more info, feel free to ask.
Thank you!
Bug Report below:
Hello,
I have a Mac Pro (profile copied below).
I'm running Leopard 10.5.6
This set-up connects to the internet via a Sky (UK) ADSL wi-fi router (only a matter of months old).
Since upgrading to 10.5.6 I have been experiencing drops in my internet connection every 5 minutes - 1 hour.
Drops = the airport signal strength signal drops from 5 to 1 or 2 bars [but doesn't drop to no bars] and the connection 'fails' -- i.e. downloads stop, pages fail to load, I can't access e-mail accounts.
The connection does reinstate itself, but is much more unstable & from that moment drops much more frequently.
This wasn't happening until I upgraded to 10.5.6
I have a MacBook Pro (one of the original models) and that experiences no connection problems at all, connecting to the same router (the MacBook Pro is also running 10.5.6)
This is incredibly frustrating.
It has rendered my £2500 system useless for work.
I need a solution, badly.
On your own support forums, it appears that there are a number of people suffering similar problems.
Will you please offer a solution / a fix ASAP.
If you need any more information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Many thanks.

I had a similar problem which I've fixed!
I have four machines here which can connect to my Netgear DG834N via Aiport. (I say can because they normally connect via ethernet.) My MacBook Pro always used to be fine when connected wirelessly but recently, not aware of any changes I've made, it connects for about 10 seconds then disconnects. All other machines are fine and hold the connection.
This is what I tried before finding my solution:
1) Deleted all references to the network in the keychain and remade them.
2) Created another user to try
3) Changed channels on the router even though I can't see any neighbour's networks.
4) Made sure computer and router were up to date with firmware/software.
I'm assuming that it has to be a computer problem as the PowerMac, iMac and iPod Touch have no issues at all. However, the cure was in the router.
I run with SSID broadcast turned off, WPA2 encryption and MAC address filtering. Allowing broadcast of the SSID cures my problem. Turn it off and the computer connects then drops it ten seconds later. Turn broadcast on and it maintains the connection. I've tried it all afternoon, leaving it connected for about 30 minutes at a time before turning SSID broadcast off again. Works every time! Broadcast SSID - fine, no broadcast - drops after ten seconds.
Now, if only I knew why! And why only the laptop?

Read this if your Airport connection drops

I just got off the phone with support. I noticed that many other people are having this same issue, where if there is no network traffic, the Airport drops its association to the AP. They are unaware of others having this problem. So, if you're having this problem, you need to call support and tell them, or it's not going to get fixed.
We troubleshooted for about 30 mins, ran a hardware test, and found nothing. It definitely only happens when there is no network traffic, if I start a continuous ping, the connection never drops. I've tried it on my Airport Express, a Linksys WRT54G, a NetScreen 5GT-Wireless, and an Airespace network. I read on some other forums that MBP users were having the issue, and it seems to have surfaced in 10.4.5, and continues to exist in 10.4.6.
Bottom line, if you're having the problem, stop posting here and pick up the phone. It won't get fixed unless they create tickets for the issue.

I think i have figured out the problem between the networking (airport or ethernet) on linksys routers and the macbook. For some reason the macbook only kills the router when it goes on standby or when you shutdown. Think it has to do with the way the new airport card is disconnecting from the router that is causing for the whole router to drop. What i did was check on the box where it says to disconnect from ap before logging off. Which means you also have to set the macbook to log off the user account when it goes on standby that way the airport will properly log off. I think its not an issue related with the atheros card on the new macbooks but with osx itself. Especially considering that when i boot up windows on the macbook the wireless works fine after a shutdown or standby.

Airport connection drops when using external monitor

I just bought a new monitor to use as a 2nd display for my Macbook. Problem is, as soon as I plug it in, my wireless connection just kills over and dies a horrible death, but as soon as I unplug my MiniDisplay to DVI adapter, it works great.
I've been searching around and there were a few topics on this, but it didn't really look like anyone had a definitive answer for what to do. Some suggested that the DVI cable wasn't shielded and that was causing RF interference, but my DVI cable has the little round plugs at each end.
Is there any other possibilities to fix this?
Thanks

I was having this same problem for quite some time, and several Genius Bar people were not able to diagnose the problem. I checked back from time to time on the net to see if anyone had figured this out, and someone now has. For me, it was as simple as changing the channel option of the airport express from automatic to a manual selection...in my case "6." I've seen a couple posts on this now and some switch from 11 to 6, or vice versa. Mine was set up for automatic selection, so I first manually selected 11. That didn't help, but selecting 6 fixed things immediately. Here's the thread that helped me: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11051427
and since I found it's not that easy if you don't know how, here are directions for changing the channel on your airport express:

Airport connection drops about once a day..

is the problem in my macbook or in my airport?? when i go to look at the airport, the green light is still on. help would be appreciated.
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hola -
If you go to your System Preferences/Network/Airport and check the box "Show Airport status in menu bar" you'll be able to see the strength of the signal in your top menu. 4 bars will equal a strong signal. Monitor this throughout the day ...if it's working fine for most of the time then I'd suspect the wireless router as the problem. Also, if the signal is very weak (1-2 bars) then you may indeed lose your connections at times.

My Airport connection drops whenever the Mac sleeps or reboots

My iBook on the same network doesn't do this.
I guess it's a settingI'venot got right, rather than a fault as such.
Any ideas?
Thanks
iMac Dual Core Mac OS X (10.4.8)

See if you can find a solution in KB 304482, Mac OS X 10.4.8: AirPort does not auto-connect to existing networks after restart or wake from sleep.

Airport connection drops every 15 secs

The previous router (D-Link) provided a steady signal but nowI have a new router - Linksys WAG120N - and my Macbook has 2 second "dropouts" every 15 seconds on average. The interruptions can easily be seen on the graph in iStumbler. I also have a newer MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard, which works fine with the Linksys router. Will an upgrade to Snow Leopard do the job?
I tried without success: repairing permissions, resetting pram, installed airport updates, bought the 801.1n enabler from the Apple store, I tried switching the new router to only "g" (not "n"). Tried WPA instead of WPA2.
Spec (ignore the MacPro in my signature):
White MacBook (early 2007), 2GHz Core 2 Duo, 2GB RAM, 10.4.11

I just bought an MacBook Pro this summer and been having the same problem I tried everything that I seen on here the only thing that worked was me buying an Hawking Technology's usb wireless networking antenna I bought it for 40 bucks are so and works great so far. Kind of ***** to have it on the computer but if it works it's all good right??? here is the link i bought it from let me know if it works for you http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH &Description=macwirelessadapter&x=0&y=0

Dropping airport connection

When I use iChat with Bonjour IM my AirPort connection drops for some unknown reason. It seems to only happen on my PowerBook and not my girlfriends iMac. We are on the same network too. As well as this problem, we have the problem of not being able to see each others screen names in iChat even though the privacy measures are on "allow all" to see and contact me. Any help?

I am having a similar problem, using an AirPort Extreme (gigabit) with about 15-20 users. Every now and again, the AirPort connection will disappear, reconnecting almost immediately, (almost like the AirPort is restarting itself, though it shows no sign of such in the logs), and when network connections are restoring, Bonjour communication won't really be working. Where there were all the people on our network, only a few will show up, if any of them show up. This does not seem to be a service issue on the workstations themselves, since I can plug into ethernet and have all the other people running iChat show up in the Bonjour list, so it seems to be related to the AirPort Extreme specifically.
If anyone has any insight on how to verify that the AirPort Extreme is routing local mDNS traffic, or things to look for in the AirPort log that might indicate why it's restarting, it would be VERY much appreciated.
Gary
