Airport disconnects after a few minutes

I can connect to the internet via Internet Connect wi-fi. After a few minutes all signal strength is lost and connection is lost. I can then open Internet Connect then turn Airport off, then turn Airport back on and I will now have full signal strength and use the internet again for about another 3 minutes until it loses all signal again. Any ideas?

It is indeed my Net Gear wireless router that has been in use 2 months. My I phone gets wi-fi dropped here too. Curiously enough, my friends EEE laptop will stay connected. My I Book and I phone have worked perfectly in other hot spots. Thanks

Sql Server 2008 R2 keeps disconnecting after a few minutes -- how can I prevent this?

I already went into the Sql Server Configuration manager and set the TCPIP Keep Alive value to 0 (default setting 30000). But still, after like 5 minutes it disconnects, and I have to re-log back in. The problem with this is that I will usually have several
#temp tables open -- then I have to re-create/populate all these #temp tables. I'm running win7 SP1, Sql Server 2008 R2 Developer -- SP2. Is there something I can set in the registry maybe? What can I do to prevent sql server 2008 R2 Developer from disconnecting?

I wish to continue with thanks to all for replies. The disconnect property after Query execution is not checked. And I am not sure about not letting my computer sleep. Sometimes I have to leave
it for extended periods.
Good day Rich
P123,
Sometimes for monitoring we have to do actions that are one-time in order to check our assumptions. In this case I recommend that you do this check :-)
you just need to check it once (like 24 hours), to make sure that this is the the source of the issue, or not :-)
In any case you can use screensaver, but make sure that you do not close disks as well.
Please inform us your result

IPhone 4 wi-fi connection disconnects after a few minutes, but used to work just fine.

I got my iPhone 4 a few months ago. During the first few months, I would come home and connect to the wi-fi in my house with no problems, and it would stay connected until I left the range of the router. Just two days ago, I was starting to have some issues with the iPhone: I would open an app, and it would run just fine for maybe a minute, then black out and go to my home screen. If I tried to open the app again, it ran normally. Trying to troubleshoot this problem, I restored my iPhone to its factory settings, keeping my media and data. Now when I come home and connect to my wi-fi, although my device does recognize and connect to it, the connection stays for maybe 5 minutes before the phone switches back to 3G, unless the wi-fi is being actively used from my phone. Every time I want to use my home wi-fi I have to go to settings and choose a network. This is an inconvenience for my, especially since I never had to do this before; I would always stay connected. I have a feeling that I may have messed something up when I restored the phone, yet I do not know for sure what happened. I have tried restoring my network settings, restarting my iPhone, toggling the wi-fi and cellular data on and off, and turning my router on and off again. I don't think the router is the problem since everything worked before I restored my phone. Also, all of the other devices in my house that use my wi-fi work perfectly. The only thing that has changed is my phone, and I do not know how to solve this problem. Any help and information will be greatly appreciated.

If it makes you feel any better, I run networks for a living, and am having the same problem without a fix when outside the house.
When I am at home, I can get a really good signal, it stays on the network for more than a few minutes, but if I am in a coffee shop or something like that, it drops. So it is either the Access point (bad location) or an older 802.11 standard they are using (probably a g) that does not support that many connections. Or a more finicky problem that is going to require a future patch to address...
iPhones are finicky about where they get their wifi from, sometimes to excess, especially in a saturated environment... they are always looking for the strongest signal, which leads to access point hopping if two or more in proximity...
if multiple WAPs are unsecured and broadcasting SSIDs, the iPhone will try and switch back and forth between them looking for the stronger signal. In a busy city, or a coffee shop with multiple WAPs on the same network, the iPhones can play havoc. (Supposedly Duke University has a ticket with Apple because two iPhones dropped their whole wireless network access point hopping).
How i got mine to stay solid at home was to get a linksys wireless N router, not broadcast the ssid and have the iphone connect (the SSID was case sensitive to the iPhone, but not to anything else on my network... weird). In a busy environment, I would recommend putting all but the strongest signal on ignore... a pain but helped me so far get at least more than 30 seconds of wifi connection.

Airport Express 2.nd Generation LED "green" after a few minutes blinks "amber"

Hello ,
Since two days i have an Problem with my Airport Express 2.nd Generation .
I uses an Fritzbox as an DSL Router/ Accesspoint Base Station and an Fritz Repeater for repeating the Network.
My WLAN SSID is hidden and i uses WPA2 .
The DHCP Server is an Windows Server in the Network.
In Front , I uses an Airport Express 1.Gerneration in the Network too without any Problems.
I set the Aiprort Express 2nd Generation back to Factory default.
I configured the Airport Express as "connect to WLAn Network" Mode
In the DHCP Server i can see that the Airport becomes an IP Adress .
BUT :
After a few minutes , sometimes after 5 , sometimes after 20 minutes, the Airport starts blinking "amber" light and looses the connection.
I cant find him with the Airport Programm .
Can someone help ?
Thanks
Michael

Hello John,
I positioned the Airport Express directly near the Accesspoint . He runs 1 Day an then the same. Blinking orange LED.
I put the 1.Generation Airport to the Place on which the 2.nd Generation first was. He work since 4 Days there.
I think the 2nd Generation Airport is defect . How long is the Garantie for this ?

Safari and firefox stop working after a few minutes of browsing, regardless of what site I'm on. I have to restart my computer to get internet access again but it only works for a few more minutes, then I have to restart again. Please help!

Safari and firefox stop working after a few minutes of browsing, regardless of what site I'm on. I have to restart my computer to get internet access again but it only works for a few more minutes, then I have to restart again. I don't get a spinning ball, it just stops working at whatever page it's on. I can close the program just fine but when I re-open it, either safari or firefox, it freezes trying to load the hompage. This started a few days ago after trying to stream a movie on my computer. I'm on a Mac Air OS X Version 10.6.8 and have downloaded all updates. When I go into finder, it says I have over 80 gigs available. Is there some other memory cache that I need to check? Thanks so much for your help.

It's not a router problem as I explained in my post. If it was a router problem then I wouldn't have the problem everywhere I go. It is an issue with the software.
Then I guess the millions of people running 10.5.7 with no issues are just hallucinating that their machines are working fine?
I'm not trying to belittle your issues; you're certainly having them and I know first hand how annoying an intermittent AirPort issue can be. (In fact, mine was due to an AirPort driver bug that no one else seemed to suffer from.)
The single best diagnostic you could do is take your system running 10.5.7 to an Apple Store, and try using their in-store network.
If your machine performs flawlessly, it may be a router issue.
If your machine has connectivity issues there, it may be a hardware problem with your machine.
There have been numerous people in multiple threads over the years who swore that an update was buggy because things used to work, but returned later to sheepishly admit that they took their machine in, a problem was found and fixed, and now their Mac works flawlessly with the newer software.
But simply reinstalling 10.5.5 in no way means the explanation of how firmware bugs may be at play here is incorrect.
In the context of that explanation, all you've done is possibly reinstall software that asks to add "2 + 3."

TS2709 I have AppleTV and Ipad2 running VJay app to my TV over a private cisco router disabled firewall but I keep loosing the video on my TV after a few minutes what can I do?

I have AppleTV and Ipad2 running VJay app to my TV over a private cisco router disabled firewall but I keep loosing the video on my TV after a few minutes what can I do?

I also get this problem on my iPad, so probably not related to the AppleTV. On the iPad I restarted Airport Extreme this time, and then the iPad saw my Home Sharing.
So to recap, restarting the router or Airport Express allowed the iPad and AppleTV to see Home Sharing. Restarting AppleTV also allows AppleTV to see Home Sharing.
So does anyone have any idea?
Thanks

Brand New Mac Mini drops network after a few minutes

My new Mac Mini (Core Duo) arrived a couple of days back and I couldn't wait to set it up. The next thing I did was to download all the latest updates but the network connection kept dropping after a few minutes (seemingly randomly). This is the wired connection (not airport) and all other computers on the network are working fine.
I thought it might have been a problem with the updates site but now I'm trying to copy my data across the network from my old Windows XP PC (I want to switch) and the connection hangs again after a few minutes.
The only way to get the network back up is to reboot the system, then it works okay for a few more minutes. I've changed the Ethernet cable and the other PCs are working fine - it's just the Mac that has issues.
I wondered if the network card is faulty but does anyone have any other ideas?
I guess as this is only a few days old Apple might exchange it?

Hi John,
My ISP is PlusNet and there are 2 Windows XP PCs, a Windows 2003 Server, 2 Windows 2003 virtual servers, an HP printer, a DLink Wireless Access Point and a Linksys NSLU2 NAS box all working perfectly happily here - the Mac is the only machine that doesn't want to play.
The router only has a single Ethernet port so that's connected to a Netgear 10/100Mbps hub which the other devices use.
In addition it's all NATted so the ISP could only block my external IP address - they don't have access to the router config and in any case all the other devices are communicating with the Internet over the ADSL link with no problems so I think I can rule out the ISP doing anything nasty.
Thanks for the suggestion anyway.
So... here's the progress to date:
I spent two hours on the phone to Apple Support at national rate phone charges. I finally snapped when they asked me to check the firewall settings on my Windows PC (I pointed out that if there was a firewall issue then no data would copy - not several hundred megabytes before timing out). They suggested I took the Mac to an AppleCare centre for diagnosis to see if it could copy files from another Mac (so much for interoperability - they only care that it works with Macs).
I have confirmed that the problem exists on both static IP and DHCP configurations, and whether or not I set the duplex manually or automatically on the network connection. Interestingly it only occurs connected to a 100Mbps/half duplex hub (not a 10/half hub or a 100/full switch or a 100/full crossover cable) but as all the other devices are working fine I can rule out issues withe the hub.
So, now I have the Mac connected to a 100Mbps/full duplex switch, with no other devices connected. That switch has a link to the hub with the other devices connected and on to my ADSL router.
Everything seems to be working but obviously it's not an ideal situation as the Mac should work on the same Ethernet hub as everything else.
Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. If anyone has any further ideas I'd love to hear from you.
Cheers, Mark

IChat disconnects after a few seconds and starts to blink the whole screen

this started since I installed Leopard; if I go back to 10.4 it works OK. I got rid of all the plist and it still hangs up. How can I uninstall this. On my laptop it works OK but I installed it with complete erase on laptop; on my desktop I stalled it over the old system.

If it does that Drag the current (iChat 3) icon off the DOCK and drag iChat 4 to the DOCK.

Losing sound after a few minutes

When using iChat for audio chats (or when using Skype), I lose sound after a few minutes. The person I'm talking too starts hearing the same thing in a repeating loop, and we have no cut off. At that point, it sometimes works to start a now voice chat, but sometimes it doesn't.
This seems to have started when I replaced an ailing snow ABS with a D-Link DSL-G604T wireless router. I've read a lot of posts here that talk about the need to turn on port forwarding, but that doesn't seem to be the problem - I can start talking, sometimes for as much as a half hour, but at some point the connection goes bad. (I thought it was just my iMac, so I tried my iBook with the same results. Then I thought it was my headset, so I tried my iSight - same thing happened.)
I'm convinced it has something to do with the router, but can't figure out exactly what's going on. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi Kirk,
Does the Buddy List close up and say it is Disconnected ?
Is the connection 1.6meg in both directions ?
What have you got System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming speed set to ?
Also how are you opening the ports in the D-Link ?
These pics suggest it has UPnP

Polycom CX600 sign in and after a few minutes sign out and never sign in again until reboot phone

Recently i have a problem with a CX600 Polycom that don't let me continue with other things
the behavior is the next
i use usb tethering to sign the phone and it's successful, but after a few minutes around 15 they will log themselves out and the screen shows a sign in error "Cannot sign in. There may be a problem with the server or with your network connection.
Please check your network connection. Retrying" and it's remain until i reboot the phone unplugging the ethernet cable manually and when plug in the ethernet cable again the phone sign in again successfully
i tried different solutions that i found in similar threats but nothing seems fix the problem. Some of solutions that i tried are the next
Sign in with cx600 .4372, .4420 and 4451 firmware
The solution that suggest in this link
http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/2464556
i Reviewed DHCP configuration for this phones
i tried to troubleshoot that issue using looging tool but the only error that i can see is
"the peer forced closure" and "Receive operation on the connection failed" in the traces
This issue only is in some devices, others cx600 works fine
If someone can help me i will be gratefull
Greetings

Does this happen with all the devices or just one devices?what do you see in the deivce logs
Can you mirror a port on switch and collect network trace?
Do you see any relevant event id on the front-end servers?

1st Gen IPod Touch Volume Controls won't come up after a few minutes

I've got a first gen IPod touch and ever since I upgraded to the OS 3 family I've had a problem where after a few minutes of playing a video, if I tap the screen to bring up the volume controls, nothing happens. If I tap the screen in the first few minutes, the controls come up fine but after a few minutes a screen tap does nothing. Returning to the home screen and re-launching the video player didn't work either. I was turning the unit off and back on to correct the problem but after reading that a new "feature" of OS 3 pertained to volume control and headphone detection I tried a new tactic. When the volume controls would not display, I unplugged my headphones (the video paused when I did this) and plugged the headphones back in and the volume controls display auto-magically and would appear on with a screen tap for a few minutes then I was back in the same situation. Is there anyway a setting could be created to disable headphone detection and the "features" that it brings? The headphones work fine when the volume controls won't display so it doesn't feel like a headphone problem. Thanks.

Hi, I accidentally spilled water on my Mac Air on the very right side of the keyboard. After a few minutes, the screen turned white and a gray folder with a question mark came up and kept flashing. THEN IT DIED HELP.

After the screen turned white and the folder popped up, it just kept flashing. After a few minutes the screen just turned white completely and I could hear the noise of the drive. It just sat there still with the noise for a good few hours until the battery died and then my mac just shut down completely. I tried to see if the computer could charge, and it does charge. I just can not turn the computer on no matter what. It is dead. It might be the logic board or the drive...I'm hoping it won't cost me a new computer because I just got this 5 months ago....

Do not attempt to charge as that will only make the damage worse. You need to take the MacBook Air to an Apple store genius bar and have the technicians check and see what repair work is necessary. It only takes a very small amount of liquid to cause short circuits and damage.

You may need to do a Restore in iTunes.
Clicking sounds from an iPod that has a hard drive is probably not a good thing. It is possible that your iPod's hard drive is becoming unreliable.
