Airport Extreme goes down a few minutes after successful connect

I have a new Eee PC 1000 and an Airport Extreme base station. Both support 802.11n I can connect just fine, but after being connected for ten minutes or so, the connection stops working. Worse, it also makes my Mac Mini's wifi connection to the Airport Extreme base station stop working, and the Airport Extreme has to be power cycled before a computer can successfully connect to it again.
I happened to purchase a new Airport Extreme base station for another location a few days ago, and found the same problem. In both cases, the problem was 100% repeatable.
Has anyone else experienced this, or anything similar? Can anyone please suggest a fix?

"Has anyone else experienced this, or anything similar? " - just read half a dozen messages on this forum - thousands are experiencing this or related issues!
"Can anyone please suggest a fix?" - there's no shortage of suggestions, but none seem to actually work! The most successful I have found to date is disabling "n" and forcing it back to "b/g" - but even that only reduces the frequency of disconnects to one or two per day...
Only fix I know is to put it on eBay and buy Netgear - but even then my Mac Book drops out inconveniently frequently!

  • Firefox shuts my computer down a few minutes after starting it.

    It's real simple for anybody but people at Mozilla. MY COMPUTER SHUTS DOWN a few minute after starting FireFox. The Firefox website is broken, and nobody pays attention to anything. In plain english, everything Mozilla bites. Got it now? Not likely...

    The entire computer crashes? I don't think I've ever seen a case where Firefox crashes the operating system. Could you give us more details?
    * Does the computer turn off, or do you get some error screen, or does the entire system freeze?
    * Are you usually on the same site when it happens?
    * Do you have any add-ons installed?
    * When was the last time you scanned your computer for malware?

    You have 10.6 on that machine, I suggest you stick with it for performance, third party hardware and software reasons as long as possible.
    Consider 10.8 (not 10.7) when it's released, because 10.7 and 10.8 will require a new investment in software and newer third party hardware as it requires newer drivers the old machines won't have. (forced upgrade because of software, really nice of them)

    Far as your Safari problem do these things until it's resolved:
    1: Software Update fully under the Apple menu.
    2: Check the status of your plug-ins and update (works for all browsers) also install Firefox and see if your problems continue. You should always have at least two browsers on the machine just in case one fails.

    If the above doesn't work, force iPad into Recovery Mode.
    1. Turn off iPad
    2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
    3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
    4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
    DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
    5. Release Home button.
    ON COMPUTER
    6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
    7. Select "Restore iPad"...
    Note:
    1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
    2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.

  • Mac Pro freezes few minutes after starting download of additional content

    Hello everyone!
    So... I've downloaded Logic Pro X from the App Store today. Install and download of basic content went smoothly, but problem occured when I started download of additional content. Few minutes after download had been started, whole computer would just freeze, and I would have to shut it down by holding the power button. I tried downloading just small packs of content but it didn't help every time, in 80% cases it would freeze again.
    Logic was never installed on this machine earlier, at least not after clean Mavericks install few weeks ago.
    What could be the cause to this problem, and can any of you help me?
    Thanks in advance.

    I have installed Premiere Elements 11 from a disc I bought from Amazon.  I keeps asking me to re-install or if it does start stops a few minutes after I start a project.  I have a windows 8.1 PC.  I have tried numerous times to install the program and also to open it as Administrator as suggested by a friend but it still refuses to work.  I need direct help from Adobe but don't know how to get to them on this website as they seem to rely on user forums to advise customers.

    Erica from Apple support:  Your efforts to help on this subject are appreciated.  However, during my wait for your supervisor, just when I stepped away from my desk for a moment you must have picked up your phone again.  When I heard a noise (other than the hold music) I rushed back to my desk only to hear you hang up.  When the phone rang and the ANI said "Apple support" I tried to pick up but you were gone by the time I got the button pressed.
    Hopefully you'll see this note and leave a message on how to resolve this issue for me and the others from other similar questions posed on this forum.
    Thanks,

  • LED Light Going Off Every Few Minutes

    My LED notificiation light is going off every few minutes.  I have no new emails, I have no new texts, no new notifications.  i have turned off my phone, I have taken out the battery and put it back in.  I have changed my notification settings.  I don't know what to do next.  Help please!  I have a Blackberry Pearl Flip Phone.

    Hi,
    Check and see if you have a program that has an update in Blackberry App World.  That might be it.  Also, check and see, your device might have a software update under wireless update.  It could be one of those two places.

    My airport extreme goes off line and on line a lot and the green light never goes on anymore at all, why?

    What you describe is a classic symptom of wireless interference.

  • Airport Extreme Disks working well for me after 7.1 upgrade

    Just wanted to mention... like many others, I had problems using disks connected to the Airport Extreme. Disks would disappear, I couldn't connect, etc. I had scaled back my usage to a single drive, with only very limited operations.
    I'm happy to report that all my disk problems have been solved with the 7.1 firmware upgrade. I now have 2 disks connected through an IOGear 4-port USB hub, with heavy usage from multiple Mac OSX and Windows XP computers, and have had no problems whatsoever. I'm using the Airport Extreme in bridged mode, with only 802.11n enabled, and a disk password.

  • Airport Extreme Firmware Update 7.3.2 no longer connects to internet

    Automatic Updates recommended Airport Extreme Firmware Update 7.3.2, which I accepted (BAD). The Airport Extreme does have a green light, but CANNOT connect to the internet. Cannot "Check for Updates" with Airport Utility (option key down) because I cannot access the internet. Airport Utility shows 7.3.2, but nothing lower. Is there a location on the mac where the older driver resides?
    Numerous restarts, resets, etc with both the Cable Modem and Airport Extreme and my MacBook do not help.
    How do I download 7.3.1? Can I? How can I revert?
    I can access the internet from another network, hence this email.
    Any suggestions would help!

    When I updated to the Airport Extreme to 7.3.2 firmware it was dropping wireless connections randomly, Today I reverted back to 7.3.1 and looks like it is staying up for now but I am still shell shocked. To revert back in Airport Utility:
    1) Hold down the option key(Mac), the Control key for Windows at the same time clicking on Check for updates
    This will open a popup window with the previous versions, select the Airport Extreme Firmware 7.3.1 update and click download.
    2) After the download is done, from Base station file menu drop down select Upload Firmware, you will get a choice to download different firmware updates, select 7.3.1.
    That should install the 7.3.1.
    There you go enjoy.
