Apple TV 2nd Wifi Connectivity issues

My apple TV keeps loosing it internet connection. Everyday when it turn it on I have to re connect to my network, its like it forgets it, but at the same time it say's its already connect. It gets a 169 IP address, and I have to go through the wifi setup again. Sometime this happens after watching pod casts, youtube, or netflix. If I am watching it, it will still show it has a 192 address and connected to my netgear router, but will not connect until I re do the network setup. I have 6 other wireless devices connected to my wifi and and 3 wired devices. I have rest my router to factory defaults once all ready, reset the apple tv also, tried only letting the apple tv connect by it self, tried changing the channels, tried basic encryption, currently its on wpa2. my router is a dual band wireless n router. Any help with this problem would be greately appreciated as I am out of ideas to try.

Interference can come from various sources and yes cordless phones are a common source of interference, interference can also come from neighbouring networks.
Generally speaking moving channels can help avoid conflicts caused by neighbouring networks, but may be less effective against interference from cordless phones and microwaves etc which may cover more channels than a wifi network.
If your AP supports it you could also try the 5 Ghz wifi channels which are less prone to that sort of interference.
Interference is not going to be the source of everyones problems but it seems to be a very significant factor for many, so I feel it's probably a good starting point and at least in cases where it isn't a problem it does eliminate it.
There is free software available that can help you look for neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but such software won't detect non network originated interference.

Is there a fix for the wifi connectivity issue after ios6 update?

Is there a fix for the wifi connectivity issue after ios6 update?
Cannot connect to any wifi since update to 6.0.1
How do I get update to 6.0.2?
Will that even help?

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Why won't Apple fix the wifi connectivity problem with the iMac and new OS instead of just havin us go through hours of useless mock fixes!

I have spent hours with apple care about this problem with wifi connectivity. According to all the posts I'm not alone. I love my new IMAC
but i'll be glad to go back to my PC just so I can get my email without all the headaches. It seems that Apple has lost interest in
the IMAC and all of the problems associated with the new OS.

Keep in mind that ASC is where people go to get help, so yes, you are seeing reports of people who are having WiFi connection issues. But while it might seem like there are lots of people having trouble, given the sheer number of iMacs in use, it is a very small number. Also keep in mind that WiFi isn't totally under Apple's control. There are dozens of WiFi routers. Even worse, the manufacturers of WiFi routers often release firmware upgrades to fix flaws without ever informing the consumer. And just to add to the confusion, while WiFi 801.2 n routers have been sold for several years, for most of that time there was no agreed upon standard!
So if you'd like help, first, what router do you have and have you checked the vendor site to see that it has the latest firmware?

Wifi Connectivity Issues, how to Downgrade

I am using a 13 inch macbook late 2007 model running snow leopard 10.6.4 My problem is that after waking my macbook from sleep my wifi errors and has the connection timed out or the invalid password when it is correct. My roommates are able to connect to the router perfectly fine and My airport can connect to my home network as well as the campus network. I have tried the various fixes including trashing the system config folder, adding a new location, deleting locations, adding and removing airport, adding and removing preferred network locations, repairing disk permissions. Im sick and tired of trying to find a work around to this problem. I have time machine enabled but I don't want to roll my computer back an entire year just to fix wifi connectivity issues. Is there a way to downgrade without losing my applications, and personal files. No i didn't make a back up before install, I just want a to downgrade to 10.6.3 which I never had connectivity issues, is this possible?

It is managed by apple but no direct responses are from apple, yes i have had problems in the past with arrogance and users showing no respect for "noobs". The genius bar is located 2 hours away and when I do have access im skeptical to leave my macbook with them because i NEED it for school work. But my intentions weren't to be negative but to shed light on a problem. I was being sincere and sometimes the truth is negative; there is most certainly a need because without bringing attention to problems how is anything going to get solved or changed? Also if you reread what i posted it states "Finally a forum where members AREN'T arrogant", meaning that I WASN'T referring to this forum.

TS1398 Has anyone had WiFi connectivity issues with their iPhone 5 after accepting the latest IOS 8.0.2?

Has anyone had WiFi connectivity issues at home with their iPhone 5 after accepting the recent IOS 8.0.2 update?

Yes, despite being it an iPhone5 (8.0.2) attempting to connect to an Airport Express.
In my case the iPhone "connects" to Airport Express 2nd generation, but no Internet packages are available; Airport Utility shows the Airport Express as not connected to the Internet; but the iMac, MBP, Motorola phone, Samsung Smart TV and HP printer connect without any trouble.
The actual issue is the DHCP :
sometimes the iPhone gets none, and
when an address is assigned it just doesn't work,
even renewing the address won't work all the times,
switching off and on the WiFi won't work all the times neither,
going on Airplane mode, then back won't work all the times.
Solutions attempted and failed:
Reseting and reconfiguring Airport Express;
Reseting iPhone;
Switching off and on the iPhone;
Setup the DHCP renewal for every 5 days;
Meditation and stark visualisation;
Other possible patch not yet attempted : setting fixed IP addresses
All suggestions received resemble Windows' "Plug & Pray"
I gave up after reading several notes around the WWW complaining about it.
Last credible suggestion : wait for 8.0.3 or 8.1, whichever fixes the issue first.

Possible solution to iphone 6 wifi connect issues

Re: Why does iOS 8.0.2 not resolve the issue of WiFi connectivity with iOS 8 and the new iPhone 6?
Trying to keep this thread alive. I had luck with what I discuss there.
I want to add to that:
After restoring from an icloud backup from my 4s, I never allowed my new iphone 6 to create its own new backup. I didn't have enough space on my icloud account. I meant to upgrade the space but every time it asked I didn't have my CC around (it wanted to verify my cc info)... so I just cancelled and figured I would do it later. After deleting both the old and incomplete new backup... my wifi connectivity issues went away. (who knows why?)
This has worked for a few hours now.. Something is for sure different. Anyone with this issue try this and let us know how it works .

iphone5s wifi is **** slow since I updated it to ios 8.0.2 It isn'tmy router because my laptop and PC
are fine.my wifi is working fine even on Samsung Galaxy s3. I am able to stream movie on youtube on S3 but not on Iphone 5s. even whats up messages take long to download on iphone 5s.
I have tried the following on the devices and nothing has changed!
Turned Wifi on and off
Forget Wifi network add again
Reset Network Settings
Erase all content and restore from iTunes backup
Erase all content and restore as a new device
Disabling WiFi in location services >does nothing
Disabling location services entirely >does nothing
Changed the network type to WPA in my router to Personal or MixedWPA2/WPA -PSK. Rebooted router.
I amfrustrated beyond belief! I shouldn't even have to try all these things and I'm even more frustrated the only way I can use my devices is by pulling from my Airtel cellular hotspot and use my data!
This needs to get fixed ASAP!
It seems like there is no Solution for IOS 8.0.2 Wifi Problem. We have to wait until apple release new update that may fix it.

HP Slate 21 Pro: WiFi connection issues

Hi,
I recently ordered two HP Slate 21 Pro devices. Unfortunately, both of them have WiFi connection issues. After some time the properly configured WiFi connection will be dropped, which results in connectionless devices. The WiFi AP is disabled after this, and so a timed reconnect will not succeed.
After inspecting the Logcat I found following lines:

Is this issue already known? Has someone a solution for me?
Thanks in advance,

That really shouldn't affect it.
I'm a little stumped because I haven't seen this issue with this device before. The only similar issue I found was this, and it's unresolved.
Have you tried doing a hard reboot of the Slate 21?
I work on behalf of HP (But this isn't my job)

I suspect that the problem is in your router. Do NOT consider your router to be blameless if some other devices seem to work with it.
Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds. Don't just turn it Off. On many routers that doesn't really do anything but put the router into standby mode. If that does not help check for a firmware update for your router. If none exists which corrects the problem consider replacing the router.
There is a chance that some services turned on in your router could be causing problems. Look for a setting called QoS (Quality of Service). If ON turn it OFF.
If you need more help please give the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

Bad corporate wifi connection issues

Hi,
I've experienced a corporate wifi connection issue.
Having the issue on two z3compacts (latest kitkat build) and also with a Z3 (also latest kitkat build).
connection details:
EAP-Method: PEAP
Phase 2-Auth: MSCHAPV2
CA-Certs: no
Identity: yes
Password: yes
Issue is the following if you roaming between APs it happens the the smartphones jumps to a next AP with better signal but it is not possible to connect to the wifi.
There are two workarounds:
1. re-enter the password for the connection again
2. turn on airplane mode and turn it off again
The state is very annoying.
We've tested various Samsung and Nexus smartphones and we couldn't experienced that issue.
Any of you experienced the same?
Br,
Michael

Hi Phy,
thanks for that hint!
Can't believe anymore that it is a network component issue...because,
We have 500 android devices integrated (LG, Samsung, Nexus) and also nearly 4300 iPhones (4s, 5c, 5s and 6 (IOS7-8))
Besides them three xperia Z3 devices for testing purpose.
We only experienced this issue with the xperia devices.
Actually we're observing this issue over a month now.
We checked also the wifi controler logs and we saw that the xperia devices quit connections and connections tries by themselves.
Br,

Still having WiFi connectivity issues. What can I do to fix this?

I have the new Macbook Air 2013, and since day one i have had WiFi connectivity issues. I know that this problem has been worked on and that a recent release of an update could help fix this problem. However; nothing for me has changed. I connect to my home internet and sooner or later my MBA disconnects and i have to reconnect it by either turning the WiFi on and off or going into network diagnostics. The time of my Air actually being connected varies from a coulpe second to a couple minutes and occasionally I may get 30 to 45 minutes before a disconnect.
If you could help it would be much appreciated.

That statement is unfounded, actually. ALL of those currently with wifi issues are able to connect via their iphone hotspot, or by means of their homebase AIRPORT base station, .....indicative of a software/ firmware issue.
Most dont consider a minor software/firmware issue an empirical defect, anymoreso than "forgetting something" is an empirical defect in a human being is.
The "speaker issue" is now uttterly proven a simple software issue, soon to be fixed, same is the case with the wifi issue.
You're forgetting that Apples 802AC wifi is "next generation" 'tomorrows' technology. That a minor bug exists, soon to be fixed, is understandable. Look on the bright side, ....the Macbook AIR is #1 seller and most beloved superbook out there for many reasons

Wifi Connectivity issues with a 2008 Apple Macbook

Hi I have had BT Total Broadband for 14 months with constant issues in relation to the Wifi connectivity on my Apple Macbook. I got Infinity installed and am still having the same issues. Other devices - Iphone and Ipad - work fine but the Macbook only works in one room of my house. I have had the Macbook checked and there are now issues technically with it according to the diagnostic team at the Apple store. I have tried changing channels and nothing like this is helping. BT are insisting I have to pay a cancellation charge of £159 to cancel my Infinity - even though it was only installed on Friday.
The engineer installed the modem and BT Homehub 3.0 router at my main socket into the house which is in an understairs cupboard - the modem and hub are now sitting on the floor!!!! I have been advised that this won't be helping the signal. As soon as I move from the living room to another room downstairs it drops and doesn't work at all upstairs.
I don't feel that there is any point in investing in an Airport Extreme as I have no guarantee that this will improve the level of service provided by BT.
I have also over the weekend tried different wifi networks outside of my house and it works fine on all of these including what is meant to be a less superior Sky Broadband service?
Does anyone have any ideas what else I can try - I have lodged a complaint with BT and am waiting on a repsonse at the moment.
thanks

Hi,
Long time Mac/Infinity user here.
Macs rarely have problems with their wifi, any problems that do occur are more often due to external issues, such as poor siting of the router, or co-channel interference from a neighbouring router. From your testing at the Apple Store and on other networks there is nothing obviously wrong with your machine.
Having the HH3 on the floor is just about the worst place you can site it. Generally you should position a wireless router as high up in the working area as possible; at least desk height is desirable. A very simple thing to try is borrow a longer Ethernet cable to go between the OpenReach Modem and the HH3 and then temporarily position the HH3 higher, say halfway up the stairs. There should be an immediate and noticeable improvement in the signal.
If matters do not improve, make sure that all the Apple Software Updates have been done (connect the MacBook with an Ethernet cable to do this if necessary). Next, completely delete the wireless setup on the Macbook for the HH3 (and any other old setups you may have) and complete the setup of the HH3 from scratch.
You may still find there is a lack of signal and this could be due to co-channel interference with another wifi router in your neighbourhood. Try manually switching the router onto Channel 13 as relatively few ISP's devices use this channel by default. Alternatively try Channel 1.
You can download a free WiFi "sniffer" called Kismac to check what channels are being used by other routers in your area.
To manage the hub, launch your browser of choice and enter 192.168.1.254 (DO NOT put http:// in front of this!) and press Enter. (The Hub Manager software is a PIA and should not be installed; use the CD as a coaster for your coffee cup!).
The Airport Extreme is a very good replacement for the HH3 and is far superior in terms of the WiFi signal. If you want to try one, order it on-line from the Apple Store . . . you can return it if it does not work as expected!

Time capsule wifi connectivity issues -apple tv 2 constantly disconnects from time capsule

Having ongoing issues with Time capsule wifi connectivity throughout house.
Apple TV II and PS3 losing wifi connection on a regular basis causing movies/music/gaming to be interupted.
Anyone have same issues and found a solution?

I bought a Time Capsule this weekend and was having a similar problem whereby my MacBook Pro would disconnect regularly from the wi-fi signal. Previously my MacBook Pro held connection permanently to the previous router fine. It was a pain as I couldn't leave things like SugarSync / Dropbox running as they kept disconnecting. I seem to have fixed it though by using AirPort to manually set the 2.4Ghz channel to a hard-wired value (Manual Set-up->AirPort->Wireless->Radio Channel Selection->Edit ....) rather than letting it automatically select the channel. I used iStumbler to choose a channel that was not congested in my area. I'm hazarding a guess that maybe when the signal went weak for a second, it changed the channel when set to automatic and so knocked out any connections.
Well, it worked for me.

IPhone 5 2.4ghz/ weak wifi connectivity issues

Hello. So when I got my iPhone 5 I had a 2.4ghz linksys router and I thought the router was messing up dropping the connection a few times a day so I bought a Netgear dual band which in return worked pretty well.
Now for some circumstances I had to move for a while to an apartment and the router there is a netgear 2.4ghz and it worked fine since I was very close to the router but then I moved rooms and I would get 2 bars BUT the conection would be super slow, it barely loaded web pages. So I didn't notice this but whenever something heavy was to be loaded, it dropped the wifi connection and used the LTE data. Before you know it, after a day of watching netflix, I had used about 2gb of data. what the frick???
So I decided to test out my iPhone 5 vs my iPad 3 and the results were:
iPhone 5 and iPad 3 did well in 5ghz band, near and far, but iPhone 5 was significantly slower
iPhone 5 did well in 2.4ghz band, near, but still significantly slower than the iPad 3 near the router.
iPhone 5 was slow in 2 bars and dropped connection to LTE in 2.4ghz band, far from the router.
so my conclusion was that maybe my wifi chip is faulty which is why i'm getting very poor signal and connection.
the worst part is it drops my wifi connection and connects to LTE and eats up my data. Turning off cellular data seems to get rid of that issue, but nothing fixes the slow internet while having 2 bars on 2.4ghz.
will they replace my iPhone if I take it to an Apple Store?
would it help that the screen seems to be ungluing from the bottom? i press on it and it makes a clicking sound when before it didn't use to.

You might have to get an antenna for the netgear. My iphone5 was great with my old zytec router. It died and I just bought a netgear, and on the 5 band I still have to be close. I was reading on netgear forum, some of the routers have a weak signal. The iphone 5 has a weaker antenna than previous models.
I had to turn in my first two phone becue they would not even read the wifi on my any router.
A lot of people are having this issue witht he net gear. You can get an atenna, or get a signal enhancing case for the phone.
