Apple TV 2 loose connection after 20-30 minutes

When I’m waking up my ATV2, it always shut off after 20-30 minutes. The pattern is always the same.
I wake up my ATV2, I stream content to it using AirPlay (from my iPad) or I stream music from my shared library on an iMac using Wi-Fi and after 20-30 minutes, the ATV2 stop working. The TV screen has no connection (or data), the ATV2 light is on.
They only option that I have is to unplug and replug the ATV2. Then, it would work for hours (2-3-4 hours) without problem. I can listen to music or view content or use Airplay streaming with my iPad.
I have reserved DHCP addresses (using Aiport MAC address) for each devices (ATV2, iMac with iTunes), I tried to change the frequency channel (everything is Wi-Fi using a Time Capsule). All softwares are up-to-date (iTunes, ATV2 iOS).
The only thing I did not test is a cable between the Time Capsure and ATV2.
Any hint about what is going on and how to fix that?

Could be network activity. Try setting the sleep to never and see if that helps things.

Connecting to AirPlay with my AppleTV using Netgear-G router. Apple TV loses wifi connection after about 5 minutes.

I am using a new MacBook Air with OS X and just bought an Apple TV. Using Netgear-G router.
After 5 minutes of AirPlay, movies, etc from my laptop stop playing on my TV and then lose sound on the laptop (but have video on the laptop when that happens).
Just bought this tonight, pretty frustrating. Any help appreciated.

PS I've tried disabling WWM and it doesn't work. I do have a B/G only router though, do I need an N one?

Apple TV loses WiFi Connectively After waking up from sleep

My Apple TV, software version 3.0.2 (which gives us 1080P btw), works fine, until I put it to "sleep." Later, when I use the Apple TV, it says: "Not connected to the Internet." In effect, my wifi has disappeared from the memory of the Apple TV, and I have to enter the wifi network's password again on the Apple TV.
I have had this Apple TV for about a year; the problem appeared maybe one month ago.
I took it to the Apple Store after Apple Care Telephone Support consulted with engineers. The Apple engineers said it could be a hardware problem, and for me to bring my Apple TV to the Apple Store so they could diagnose it. But at the Genius bar, they put it to sleep and woke it up and it never lost connectivity every time. I suggested that as the Apple Engineers wanted the hardware looked at, why doesn't the Apple Store keep my unit, put it to sleep, and wake it the next business day? The genius bar refused, as the problem did not replicate itself at the genius bar. I told them that trying after 10 minutes wasn't enough. They should try it overnight, as I do (go to bed, try it the next day, only to discover that the Apple TV lost it's connection to the WiFi.
So for now, my work-a-round is that after a few hours, I have to reenter the password for the wifi. I've been reading threads about similar issues with the iPad, but I don't know if the problems are related (technology wise).
Bottom line: My Apple TV loses its connectivity after being in sleep mode for awhile. Nothing to do with the iTunes store or 3.0.2 as far as I can determine; if I don't put it to sleep I don't lose connectivity.

Thank you, Jamie Cox1. However, after rebooting the Apple TV, I lose my 1080P; it goes to 720P and takes about 5 minutes or so to reboot. Then I have to set the 1080P again. The good news is that the wifi returns But it is quicker merely to re-enter my password.
The problem remains: After a while of having the Apple TV in sleep mode, I lose connectivity to my wifi And while I have a complicated password (upper and lower case letters, numbers, and not a dictionary word), it still is quicker to re-enter my password than to wait for the Apple TV to reboot and re-enter the settings for 1080P.
Thanks anyway; if I only had 720P perhaps this solution might be enough - but I have 1080P.
I am working with Apple Care; I have reconfigured my wifi twice with Airport Utility, removed all interference (microwaves, cordless phones), and still the problem remains. Apple Care hasn't solved the problem. The Genius Bar at the Apple Store hasn't solved the problem. Re-booting does find the wifi again, but it takes a long time, and then I still have to re-set the resolution to 1080P. So I just re-enter my password each time.
And that's my update! I appreciate everyone's suggestions. However, the problem remains: after putting the Apple TV in sleep mode, and then later when I want to use the Apple TV, the Apple TV forgets that it is connected to wifi and I have to re-enter my password, or I can take some time and reboot the Apple TV but then while the wifi returns, the 1080P disappears.
Thank you everyone for all your suggestions
But the problem remains

IMac keeps on loosing internet connection after a few minutes...

Intel dual core iMac with 10.6.8 OS keeps losing internet connection after a few minutes. Need to put it to sleep and bring it up again. Than it works again...for a few minutes. Other equipment like laptops and iPad using same wifi internet connection and have no connectivity problem at all... What to do?

Then what I suggest that you do is go to the Finder and select Mac Help in the Help menu. In Mac Help go to Index>C>Connect to the Internet. There you can read all about configuring your Mac, using a modem, etc. After you better understand how all that works then come back with your questions.

Datasocket Server looses connections after a few hours "Parsing URL"

Hi there,
I need some help cause the DataSocket server is doing some bad stuff...!
The server runs on a WinNT 4.0 platform as a datalogger. It works fine, but after a few hours it seems the server looses connection somehow, the datasocket status of the frontpanel elements tells: "Connecting: Parsing URL" .
The server has about 5 DINT variables and about 3 clusters containing INT variables (size about 30).
I really ran out of ideas aof what happens on this "old" machine, maybe someone had some preblems like me and solved them....
Thank for hints and tipps!

Hello,
what service packs for Windows NT have you installed?
Datasocket server crashes after a short period of time when diagnostic
window is open (Tools->Diagnostics). Disable the "Auto-Refresh"
option in the Diagnostic Dialog from the Options menu.

My wifi connection looses connection after 3 or more computers on

I have 1 Ipad 1 imac 1 iphone 1 windows netbook my 2 more laptops 1 xbox360 when all these are on one or 2 looses connections then I have to reset the router then it works any one with a tip thanks.

All of your devices must share the same bandwidth provided by your Internet connection from your Internet Service Provider (ISP). Your Internet plan may not provide you with enough bandwidth to support more than just a few connections at one time.
What is the speed of your Internet connection plan from your ISP?

Outlook looses connectivity after DAG Failover

Hi team,
Im running a lab environment with 2xCAS (WNLB) and 2xMBX (DAG) servers. Since it's a lab environment I've set the DC as my FSW. All Virtual Directories are pointing to 'mail.contoso.com' pointing to the two CASs which is WNLB'ed.
To test the DAG Failover I set up a Database(MDB01) on MBX Server 1 which is active, made a passive replica on MBX Server 2. I shut down Server 01, which holds the active databases mounted. meanwhile two clients were running and both were connected. Once
the server got shutdown, both clients(Outlook 2013) went to 'Trying to connect to server' status.
Meanwhile checking the powershell on the Mbx Server 02, i noticed that the database was mounted. Went back to clients and open'ed up OWA, working as normal. However, the outlook client is still stuck in the 'Trying to connect to server' status. And
i opened up the 'Connection Status' and tried to 'Reconnect' but still no luck. I had to close and open up outlook to get back into the 'Connected' mode.
Any idea why this might be happening?
*Since unlike Exchange 2010's CAS Array architecture is no more there I didn't made any changes to any RPCClientAccess.... attribute. Both mail.contoso.com and autodiscover.contoso.com are pointed to the VIP of the CAS WNLB.
Cheers!

Hello,
After you configure a single namespace, you need to restart outlook to connect the newly configured namespace.
Before DAG Failover, I recommend you use netstat -ano | findstr ":80" command to check your outlook connect to CAS server.
In order to check the issue, please do DAG failover again, and then use netstat -ano | findstr ":80" command to check your outlook connect to CAS server.

Hi Cara,
Yes, here's the result from the query.
[IMG]http://i57.tinypic.com/im01na.png[/IMG]
But whenever i restart the client it gets connected in no time. I'm confused in why after a manual DAG failover this happens.
Manual failover - I shut the active copy, the passive copy was also down for around 15 mins, booted up the passive server, it said Databases as Disconnected and Active Manager error in getting them mounted up and had a 99234343231 of CQL. So
to mark the server active did a 'net start clussvc /forcequorum'. This got the databases mounted up. But clients, they doesn't get connected automatically :(
UPDATE - The client got connected after like
15 mins. :s

TS2972 Home Sharing on Apple TV (2) drops out after about 2 minutes

Home Sharing on Apple TV (2) drops out after playing iTunes music and photos for about 3 minutes. iTunes says Home Sharing is on, but the only way to get it going again is to turn off Home Sharing and sign in again to Home Sharing when it will work for another 3 or 4 minutes maximum. This happens with both computers on the network. Have turned the firewall off but it makes no difference. Any suggestions please

Going to try a signal booster this all started with the TV upgrade. The only reason for the network booster is because iPhone 4 freezes in facebook once and a while. I am trying to solve this problem for my brother my system works with my airport and imac with no issues yet. All brand new.

Bridge loses connection after a few minutes

Hi at all,
my name is Daniel and i have a problem with two AIR-SAP1532E-E-K9 with the software version 15.2(4)JB3b.
The situation: Our customer want to connect two buildings with a wireless bridge, so he bought two 1532 with two AIR-ANT5114P2M-N= antennas.
Over the wireless connection should go traffic from different VLANs.
The root bridge is configured as follows:
dot11 ssid [SSID]
   vlan 212
   authentication open
   authentication key-management wpa
   infrastructure-ssid
   wpa-psk ascii 7 [KEY]
interface Dot11Radio1
no ip address
no ip route-cache
encryption vlan 212 mode ciphers aes-ccm
ssid [SSID]
antenna gain 14
peakdetect
no dfs band block
power local 15
packet retries 64 drop-packet
channel dfs
station-role root bridge
interface Dot11Radio1.204
encapsulation dot1Q 204
no ip route-cache
logging event subif-link-status
bridge-group 2
bridge-group 2 spanning-disabled
interface Dot11Radio1.212
encapsulation dot1Q 212 native
no ip route-cache
logging event subif-link-status
bridge-group 1
bridge-group 1 spanning-disabled
interface Dot11Radio1.463
encapsulation dot1Q 463
no ip route-cache
logging event subif-link-status
bridge-group 3
bridge-group 3 spanning-disabled
The GigabitEthernet is configured like the dot11radio 1 with the Sub interfaces for each VLAN.
The non-root bridge is configured as follows:
dot11 ssid [SSID]
   vlan 212
   authentication open
   authentication key-management wpa
   infrastructure-ssid
   wpa-psk ascii 7 [Key]
interface Dot11Radio1
no ip address
no ip route-cache
encryption vlan 212 mode ciphers aes-ccm
ssid [SSID]
antenna gain 14
peakdetect
power local 11
packet retries 64 drop-packet
station-role non-root bridge
interface Dot11Radio1.204
encapsulation dot1Q 204
no ip route-cache
logging event subif-link-status
bridge-group 2
bridge-group 2 spanning-disabled
interface Dot11Radio1.212
encapsulation dot1Q 212 native
no ip route-cache
logging event subif-link-status
bridge-group 1
bridge-group 1 spanning-disabled
The GigabitEthernet is configured like the dot11radio 1 with one subinterface for each VLAN.
At the moment the non-root bridge connects to the root. All is fine and each subinterface comes up. After 3-4 minutes the non-root logs the message that there is no response from the root and shut down the interfaces and after a short moment the non-root connect to the root again.
The root shows with the command sh dot11 associations:
802.11 Client Stations on Dot11Radio1:
SSID [SSID] :
MAC Address    IP address      IPV6 address                           Device        Name            Parent         State

And some logging from the non root:

So it looks like the root bridge shuts the interfaces and then activate them after a short time.
What i want to do next is to upgrade the software version and to set the channel of the 5 GHz interface manually.
I hope somebady have another idea and would share it with us.
regards
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
Thanks for your brief explanation, the configuration looks good and from the logs I see that the radios are going up and down.
Kindly, make sure that the antennas are installed and mounted in the right direction.
Change the channels manually, you are using Radio 1 for bridging make sure there is enough coverage to cover Radio 1.
You can also test with Radio 0 for bridging and i also understand that there are some of the known issues with the version you are running for bridging and WGB connectivity.
Once after doing all these tests it's good for you to upgrade the APs to 15.2(4)JB5 and above.

Envy 100 410a seems to lose connection after a few minutes.

When I first turn on the Envy, each of my devices (Mac Book Air, iPad, and iPhone) talk to it just fine. But after a few minutes, each of these devices no longer can see the wireless printer. So, I just turn the printer off and back on and then it works for a few moments until it loses contact again.
Our Windows 7 machine (which talks through the router to the printer) seems to be working just fine.
This was working swell until we installed the new router.
Help!
