Airport  - Restart Problem

About once a day, I have to unplug, and plug back in my airport to get internet back up on my macbook. The light is green, and my Imac has no problem getting online, but for some reason, we have to unplug/plug back in to get internet for the macbook. Any ideas why this happens?
Many thanks

I have the same sort of issue. I have an Airport Express that I have to unplug for 15 seconds and plug it back in in order to connect to. Here is my setup...
Cable modem into DLink Router. DLink Router into Express.
The Express has the green light going the entire time. It just started happening within the past 2 weeks and this setup as been up for about 8 months. Any ideas?
greetings, basepro11 !
have you looked into possible interference from other wireless networks in your vicinity (perhaps a new neighbor or a neighbor with new equipment) ?
if you don't have it already, download and install iStumbler. note the channels other networks in your area broadcast on and move the channel of your network as far away as possible.
any luck ?

  • Every time I connect my USB Disk, the airport restarts

    I am having problems getting the disk to work with the Airport Extreme. Every time I turn the disk on, it makes the Airport restart and the light turns to amber. Has anyone else had this problem? Any solutions?

    If you have tried everything else -
    and you have the data backed-up.
    I'd suggest plugging the USB disk into a Mac and formatting it as HFS.

  • Airport restarts when powering on the airport-disc

    I have an airport extreme and a Stysen hd 400 gb on the usb port of the airport.
    Every time when i start the harddrive my airport restarts.. and i cannot connect to the drive after that.
    Is there something wrong with the drive or my airport? or is it just som config that is wrong? please help!

    A few Expresses dyin this month, which is actually quite strange.
    I called up a couple of Service Centers and they literally told me to buy a new one. I really like Apple for the quality products they make, but I just realised that I spent $120 on a product that cannot be repaired after the first year. They apparently do not repair Expresses(?!?), but replace them (as far as they are in warranty). No one told me that the Express was a buy-use-and-throw device, because then I would have thought twice before buying it.
    Now I feel cheated, because I can go in for a Netgear or Linksys AP which would cost me $50 and be repairable (incase any problem occurs).
    Well I hope Apple notices that there may be a problem with the Express and come to my rescue, else I am - well, screwed.

  • New Airport Extreme problems or DSL router problems

    Hi all,
    List of what I have: Time Warner Cable (motorola modem) DSL, Latest Airport Extreme (with 2.4Ghz channel 5 & 5GHz channel 149) with the updated version 7.6.1, 2008 MBP4,1 with 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo with Mac OS X 10.5.8.
    Now the problem, when I am on my MBP on the web internet slows to a stop, I will go to Systems Preferences, Network, (at this point Airport shows connected Full bars for the ant symble and a green light), then go to: Assist me... , I click Diagnostics, (On the left side) List: Airport (Green), Airport settings (green), Network Settings (green), ISP (either amber or red), Internet (either amber or red) and Server (amber or red).
    So, basicly I keep looseing ISP, Internet and Server, now for the kicker, It does not happen every time i'm on my MBP or every day. But if it happens in the morning it will happen all day long.
    This was happening with my old Airport Extreme so I up graded to the new one, worked without a problem for about a week, then started again reset & re installed several times changed channels (now back to default settings) I was hopeing that getting the new AE would take care of the problem so I coild start useing streaming TV but I'm not going to spend the money if I can't have the internet all the time.
    By the way we just moved from one state to Maine never had this problem before, both area's are rural, & both are with TWC.
    So the question is: do I have a TWC Modem problem or Airport Extreme Problem or is it just my MBP?
    I have a Win7 desktop hard wired in, and my wife has an ipad2 but she is not home much and dosent seem to be around or on the web when this happens.
    I am a serious NOVICE  so if you give advise please be very basic, Step by step!!!
    Thank you all in advance,
    Not So Mad Max, But Getting there!!!!

    P.S. I do have my AE set to be hidden with WPA2 set and a discoverable Guest also with WPA2 set!!
    Thanks

  • HT1515 Just installed Airport Express on Mac 10.6.8  Can't see base station.  Hard Reset the Airport.  Rebooted machine.  How can I tell if this is a Mac problem or Airport Express Problem?

    I have a Mac 10.6.8.  Just installed Airport Express.  I can't see any base stations.  I did a hard reset on the Airport Express, turned off all devices,  turned them back on.   I see plenty of Airport networks in the neighborhood.  How can I tell if I have a Mac problem or an Airport Express problem?  Airport Express blinks Amber. 

    Obviously,  I'm still using ethernet to be able to reply to this.
    Alright, use the same ethernet cable to plug directly into the airport express. This will FORCE the airport utility to now see it regardless of weak signals & interference. You can set it up that way.
    BTW, what is the original intent on the express?

  • K7N2G-L restart problem

    Hi
    If I do a cold start my system will boot up ok,but if I have to do a "restart" after installing something it boots up and the gets to the part where it says "Searching for IDE devices" and it will hang.If I power off and then on again it will boot up normaly.Apart from that it runs well...any ideas  ?(
    Athlon xp 1800+

    CPU Temp runs on average between 50c - 60c
    Case Temp runs on average about 89f - 100f
    When I set this thing up I had a 300 Watt supply and it did not fully run things and did have some problems with the HD lights staying on, my guess was due to not enough power. So beefing it up to 360 Watts fixed that.
    Also had restart problems quite often, at least 3 or 4 times a day it would just reboot on its own, I run and operate a computer store , so I had the ability to try different things to fix this. Turns out the memory on the nForce chipset boards is VERY important. Brand new sticks from a variety of sources had different affects, including not counting all the memory properly, restarting randomly and not booting at all. Believe it or not, one of the cheapest memory makers on the market seems to have been the best for use in the machine and that would be the Kingston Value Ram. So, if at all possible try getting some of them and see what happens. The worst??? All Components Memory.
    You guys should also look at the 4 lights that are or should be in the back of your machine provided by MSI for your troubleshooting aids.. They do work and are quite helpful.
    Sorry for the lengthy message post, but thought maybe I could be of some help to somebody.

  • 10.4.11 update - restart problem

    Hi everyone,
    Sorry if someone else has posted this, but I couldn't find a similar problem on the forum.
    Since updating a few days ago, my mac no longer stays permanently shutdown, but restarts itself around 30min after shutdown.
    I have run the combo update, verified disk (no problems), verified and repaired permissions, checked all the energy saver preferences were correct etc., but the problem is still occurring.
    Can anyone advise what might be done to remedy this?
    Thanks very much.

  • Another Airport Express problem thread.

    Hi Everyone,
    I got a Powerbook recently and like many on these threads I am beset with Airport Express problems.
    Here's my story. I purchased my Powerbook about a month ago and popped into the Apple Store to ask about the best way to have wireless internet access at home. They recommended the D-Link DSL-300T ADSL modem and Airport Express. I purchased these items and set everything up at home. This didn't work. After a week of talking to Apple, I got the answer to my problem from a Mac message board. Supposedly the ADSL modem recommended by Apple and stocked in their online store wasn't compatible with the lastest version of Airport Express 6.2.0. So I dowgraded the firmware to 6.1.1 and everything worked fine. My next problem was after running an OS X software update which I can presume also updated the Airport Express back to 6.2.0. So again I downgrade to 6.1.1 and it works again. Then I have to get my Powerbook replaced as the refurb Apple sold me didn't have the superdrive in it that Apple advertised, so I transfer my settings and files and i can go online for a couple of days and then it stops working again. I do the downgrade again but this doesn't help. So I take it to see a genius at Apple who performs the AE update 2005-001 which he says will solve the problem of incompatability with 3rd party modems. Take it home, it doesn't work. Powerbook almost gets thrown out of the window.
    Why is something that should be so simple so difficult.
    My questions are does anyone have a D-Link DSL 300T modem that works with the update 2005-001 ???
    Why do Apple recommend an ADSL modem which doesn't work with their products ???
    What ADSL modem for the UK does work with Airport Express ???

    Hi Bollard, not sure whether this would work with the current model of the modem, but I ran into problems with the DSL300+ when first using it wit an airport extreme, back in 2003.
    I eventually resolved the problems by using the modem in bridging mode. Not sure if this would be applicable with the new model, or whether it work if you are needing PPPoA rather than PPPoE, but for what its worth my experiences and solution can be found at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=607296&#607296 I've had a fair bit of positive feedback from people who found it worked for them, at least with similar equipment and connection protocol.
    Cheers

  • Bold 9930 restarting problem

    hi,
    Inspite of updating the device software several times the restarting problem still prevails.
    Kindly advise,
    Regards
    Sunny

    Hi sunny3788
    If even after updating your device software your device is still having the same problem then can you confirm a few things like how many third party application you are having on your device, or are you still having any of those third party application that you are having before this update? If it is then I prefer Uninstall all those applications to see it reboot stops.
    If problem disappear then install one application at a time to see which application is responsible .Also as you mentioned on your previous thread that you brought your device recently so I think your device is still under warranty and you can approach your carrier because it might be an hardware issue.And in that situation you can ask for a replacement.

  • My Iphone Has a Restart Problem Again and Again wot To do?

    MY Iphone Has a restart problem again and again wot to do please tell me

    Basics from the user guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.  If you go through ALL of those steps and you still have issues, you need to get your phone checked out by Apple.

  • HT1222 Will this update hjelp the periodic restart problem on iPhone 4S

    Will IOS6.1 update improve the restart problem that occurs with iPhone 4s?

    I tried all of the suggested solutions mentioned in this thread, and finally did a full reset according to Apple's instructions, step by step (as an engineer and 40 year computer user I am good at that stuff).
    Sorry to say after the several hour process, not one of the problems I have experienced have been solved. 
    IPad 2 is still running slow and choppy.
    Some Apps do not even load.
    Website pages will not load and result in error messages. One particularly annoying Safari error on loading a new web page is:  "a problem occurred with this webpage so it was reloaded".
    MY iPad  2 worked perfectly for the last couple of years through several updates that performed seamlessly, but this one and the two most recent corrected updates have rendered my iPad so degraded that I don't think I will be using it much anymore. I originally bought the tablet because of it's smooth GUI and fast performance, the reliability and error free environment, and Apple's proven record for effective updates. That's all gone now.

  • Delta Platinium restarting problem

    Hi, first time posting a problem here (why.....)
    my board: K7n2 Delta Platinium (bought a month ago)
    All worked fine untill...Yesterday i installed heatsinks to the mofsets, run super PI and Prime with 1.425 of voltage, all good, then turn off the computer. An hour after, i turn on the pc again, pressed the Del key quickly and the pc didnt want to start, cut off the power and turned it on again, seemed ok and i thought all because of the DEL key, after entering windows i decided to make sure of things: restar, then the same problem, the pc hang on at the initial stage. I tried serverl times and got the same problem again, need to cut off the power to star the pc, a notable thing: no memory checking at the start, sometimes does but so random...the Dbracket: all red except the top left (1).
    For people that dont want to read above:
    I am having restarting problem, hang on at the early initialization.

    Quote from: [T-A]_Super_10 on 19-March-05, 01:17:11
    What CPU?
    At first glance it looks as your underclocking your CPU in voltage. Put your Vcore back on auto.
    CPU: Sempron 2400+ oc 2800+
    Thanks I´ve solved the problem...

  • Restart Problem Fix for Mega 865

    Just letting people know how I fixed my Mega 865 restart problems
    my quick story
    I built my 865 with 512RAM and installed XP MCE2005. The next day I installed a 1 GIG RAM chip and the system would not boot into XP. It would get to the windows boot screen and crash when loading the hard drive drivers.... or somewhere around there. couldnt even get into safe mode. I removed the Radeon 9800 and it booted. oh no could it be the AGP Card?
    well I put it back in and tried every thing,
    removed the new 1 GIG RAM, same problem
    reset BIOS
    reset to Safe Settings BIOS
    reset to Optimal BIOS
    repair XP recovery console, fix MBR ...etc
    then I the BIOS I tried dropping the AGP Aperature size from 64MB down to 8MB. It fixed the problem.
    I'm guessing the issue is really one of power. the PSU is only 230w and with the extra ram stick, it had problems putting out enough power.
    so I dropped the agp aperature down to 8MB (shouldnt matter as the card has 128MB and hopefully shouldnt need system RAM)
    I also turned off the serial port (set it to disabled - who uses the serial port anyway)
    and disabled the modem and network card (dont need the modem and I'm using the wireless card instead of the ethernet one)
    hopefully turn these things off will prevent furthur power issues when running games and stuff.

    the prescott core P4s are hot enough as it is, without squeezing a 3.2ghz in there, along with a hot GPU
    i would recommend the northwood core P4, as they run cooler and are just as good as prescott P4s as tests have shown
    and i would also advise you to search through this forum for topics about mega 180 heat issues; the issues will apply to all mega series, just seems to cause more of a problem with the 180, but most ideas will apply to 865
    first thing to check is airflow, make sure that there are no cable looms in front of heatsink, obstructing airflow to the fan. bear in mind too that by default, the fan is already blowing hot air off the AGP card onto the heatsink (yes, poor design by MSI but it can be resolved apparently by "reversing" fan airflow).
