Apple TV Disconnects from Wireless Network

I've got an Apple TV that apparently likes to disconnect from my wireless network and the only way to get it to reconnect is to re-setup the network on the Apple TV. This is really getting annoying because it seems that each time I want to sync it or rent a movie I have to reenter the network key. I've performed a factory reset and always download the updates whenever they're available.
I have noticed that the Apple TV is picking up a bunch of other wireless networks in the area and mine is about 4th on the list. Though my signal is much stronger that all the others. I'm using a Airport Extreme base station as my router/access point for this Apple TV.
Any ideas? or anyone else experiencing this problem?

Hi
I was having the same problem. It is most likely as was previously posted, signal interference.
As I don't know what router configuration you are using (I use Time Capsule) I am not completely sure this will work but if you download from Apple Support Airport Radar it will tell you what signal channels in your area are in use. You can then select one that no one else is using with your Airport Utility/ Manual Setup or with whatever configuration tool your router has and the problem will go away. In my case Channel 8 was best.
Hope this helps.

    My apple TV disconnects the wireless network after it logs on

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Do you actually see a weak signal shown on the Apple TV when it is connected to your network. The problem may not be a weak signal, it may be interference from other networks or electrical devices.

  • HP Laserjet CP1025nw keeps disconnecting from wireless network

    I just purchased this printer yesterday and have had no luck getting the wireless network connection to stay connected for longer than a few minutes.  Currently it's connected to my cisco router via ethernet and works great connected that way.  I can AirPrint from all my IOS devices and from my Macbook Air and Windows 7 laptop.  
    I am able to get the printer to work on wireless for a short period of time - roughly 10 minutes or so.  I have sent test prints from my IOS devices as well but eventually the blue wireless light on the printer begins flashing and that means it has lost it's connection.  Restarting the router and printer will get the wireless back online for a few minutes and the problem comes back.  I read somewhere that power cycling is a "solution" but I don't agree.
    Now, I suppose I could leave it plugged via ethernet cord, but I specifically bought this printer for it's wireless printing capability and would have liked the option of moving it to another location away from my router if need be.  It should work as advertised in my opinion without having to reset/power cycle anything on a regular basis.
    My dad bought the same printer as it was on sale.  He has asked me to set it up but hopefully he hasn't opened his box yet.  I know he is hoping to use the wireless function due to the spreadout floorplan of his home office.
    I have updated the firmware on the printer (and router) to the latest version and set a static IP address as well.  DHCP yielded the same results.  Following some advice on this forum I have even disabled SNMP though I don't think that would be the problem.
    Any thoughts?  Is HP even planning on providing future support in the form of firmware updates now that the printer is a pretty much a clearance item?

    Hi hp_ik
    I understand the printer keeps losing the network connection.
    I will be happy to assist you with this.
    I have provided a document for the printer not maintaining a wireless connection.
    I would setup the static IP for the printer to see if this will resolve the issue.
    It may not be the printer, it may be your router's inability to wake the printer.
    What router are you using?
    Can you get into its settings?
    If you can then look for and enable "Multicasting".
    If not you will have to contact the router company.
    Disconnect the routers power cable, wait 10 seconds, then reconnect the power cable. Wait till it's ready.
    As a troubleshooting step, try connecting the printer to the router via an Ethernet cable (cat5). This is just to find out if the printer and the router are having problems communicating via wireless.
    If you need more assistance just let me know.

  • Disconnection from cellular network

    since i've bought my new 3gs this week it keeps disconnecting from the network if i keep it without usage for about some time ..approx 30 min or more....when some one calls me he finds me out of service and when i call some one the call fails and i have to restart the phone to once again get connected to the operator and can make and receive calls normally
    i tried everything reset network settings, reset all setting, choose carrier manually, i restored the whole OS from i tunes (3.1.3) but nothing worked the same problem occurs..note that am using it on 2g and closing 3g as i have weak 3g in my area...
    am really tired from that issue..please any help that would be great!!

    If the issue is consistent and you say youve done all the steps youve listed my best advice would be to return the iphone to your nearest apple store.

  • SOLUTION to your HP printer going offline and/or constantly disconnecting from the network

    If you are having a problem printing, scanning or faxing with any HP Printer because of it going offline and constantly disconnecting from the network, here is the fix!
    I figured this all out after many unsuccessful attempts with HP Support, my Internet Service Provider and various troubleshooting tasks including reinstalling HP software over and over and over.  Well, through self teaching on the internet and 6 grueling months of research, I FINALLY figured it out.  OMG!  I am a Paramedic (not IT) and somewhat computer literate but by far no expert.  I here all of you!  Nobody seems to have the answer but I am 97% sure that I do.  Either way, please reply back and let me know that this did in fact work for you!  :-)   
    It doesn't matter if your printer is installed wirelessly or wired.  Don’t worry about reinstalling your software, no recycling your printers’ power or your Router/Modem.  The reason your printer is unstable on the network and continues to either go offline or disconnect from the network is NOT because the software is glitched, it’s not a firewall problem per say, it’s not a router problem, there isn’t a problem with your power cord, it’s because most networks use a “range” of IP addresses and for security purposes, it sort of “cycles” the various devices’ IP addresses to decrease the chance of an attack.  A printer is no threat but the “network” doesn’t possess human intelligence so it doesn’t know this.  Below are my step by step instructions on how to basically make your printer hold its IP address (static IP) instead of changing back and forth through a cycle therefore dropping your printer off the network or disconnecting. 
    Funny, if you are someone who has had items in your print cue, they won’t print, and you turn your printer off and then back on and suddenly your documents print…well, join my club.  The reason this works is because when you first turn on the printer, it starts with the same IP address before it cycles.  If you are someone who sits there for a while and suddenly your documents print without you changing anything…this is because through the IP cycle change, it hits your printers IP address and the network will allow it to print.  Not very funny, I know.  It took me forever to figure out why my printer would print sometimes but not all the time.  Since I figured this out, I can SCAN, PRINT and use all of the features of my installed HP software such as HP Solution Center, Photosmart Essentials.   
    On your printer, go to menu/setup/network and press OK.  Inside the network menu, print a "network configuration page" so you can see the IP address and other settings for your printer.
    Now, go back to main menu on your printers’ screen.  Or you can go to your web browser and type in the IP address using the decimals too and this will take you to your printers’ web page.  Choose: setup\network and press OK.  Look for IP settings and press OK. Choose "manual" instead of "automatic". Enter the IP address there manually as well as the default gateway which you can see on the network configuration page that you printed earlier.  Note: If you manually set the printer's IP, make sure that it is outside of your router's DHCP range. Otherwise you may run into an issue with duplicate IP's on your network. (If you don’t know how to do this, write back and I will explain).  Don’t forget to click “save changes”.  Now, restart your computer and print anything you want.  :-) 
    A trick I often use with printers in DHCP networks:
    In Printers and Faxes right click on the printer and select “properties”.  Click add a new port.  Choose standard TCP/IP port configured to the printer host name. Read the hostname from the printer's network configuration sheet.
    Using my method means that you always connect to the printer even if its IP changes (which may happen with dynamic configuration). This does not jeopardize your network security.  It just tells your printer to stay put and stop traveling the IP address highway.  :-)
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    The DHCP range is the range of IP addresses the router hands out automatically as devices join the network.  The DHCP range is determined by the router and each brand has a range set at the factory (that can be changed by you).
    Your D-link's DHCP default range is 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.0.199.  So, outside the DHCP range is .2 to .99 and .200 to .254.
    Attached is a handy cheat sheet.
    You can change this range by entering the router's settings page - type the router's IP address into a browser, enter the login info and navigate to the DHCP settings area (varies based on router, hunt around).

    Trying to connect my new Apple TV to the wireless network. When I try to use the remote the Apple Tv doesn't respond ( doesn't go to the next screen). Could this be caused by a weak wireless signal?

    It is not properly connected to the network.
    Make sure location is set correctly
    DNS should be on auto (settings - general - network)
    Try ethernet
    Signal strength on device won't account for issues, you would need a network report from istumbler, netstumbler or similar. This will show accurate signal strength along with noise and nearby networks

  • HP Photosmart Premium C310a printer keeps disconnecting from my network.

    My HP Photosmart Premium C310a printer keeps disconnecting from my network. I have tried disconnecting my Firewall and AVG virus software, all to no avail. Can anyone help?

    This is an issue I have seen multiple times, and telling people to check their network settings, or to fix wireless settings does NOT address the root cause of the problem.   For those who are English-impared, here is a very clear explanation of what is going on:
    The printer is REMOVED from devices and printers, seemingly at random.    This is NOT a problem with "The printer is not printing", where fixing the network or resetting IP addresses will fix it.   The printer is GONE, and needs to be added again.
    I know networking, and at no time should a loss of connection cause the printer to just be removed from Printers and Faxes, Printers, or anything like that.    If the connection is lost, the connection is lost, but the printer SHOULD still be set up in Windows, just pointing at the wrong place(if the IP address has been changed).
    I suspect that it is more likely that the HP Update software is the culprit, and will test that theory today with a customer who has this problem.    It also seems to be limited to the HP Photosmart line of printers, since the Officerjet line does not seem affected by the bug.  

  • Flex 2 14 periodically disconnects from the network on Wi-Fi.

    My brand new Flex 2 14 periodically disconnects from the network on Wi-Fi.  This is pretty unacceptable.  Other PC's in the house are not experiencing the problem, so it's difficult to blame the router.,
     I have a Broadcom 802.11N Network Adapter device with driver version 6.30.223.201, which is the latest on the Lenovo site.  I am running Windows 8.1, as provided on the system.  I've installed Windows updates and some other software, but have not otherwise changed the OS.
    I have seen other users with similar problems, but no fixes for Broadcom.
    Any ideas anyone?  May be a "back to lenovo" thing.
    Moderator Note; subject edited
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I called Lenovo Tech Support and they had me try something that seems to be working.  Apparently there are *two* drivers available for the Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter: one published by Broadcom, one published by Microsoft.  My system *was* configured to use the Broadcom driver, Lenovo Tech support had me change to use the Microsoft published driver.  I have not had a disconnect since.
    To change the selected driver:
    0. Make sure you have the latest drivers from the Lenovo support site installed.
    1. Launch "Device Manager"
    2. Expand "Network adapters"
    3. Right-click on "Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter" and select "Properties".
    4. In the properies window, select the "Driver' tab and click "Update Driver..."
    5. In the update window, select "Browse my computer for driver software"
    6. On the next page, select "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
    7. On the next page, you should have a choice of selecting from one of two drivers.  Select the one from *Microsoft*.
    8. Click "Next" and complete the driver install.

  • Oracle Personal Edition (disconnected from the network)

    Hello everyone,
    I have oracle PE 10.1.0.2 installed on my laptop (running windows xp pro sp2). I have the laptop connected to the network most of the time. Yesterday, I was trying to access my database while I am in the coffee shop but I couldn't. I was getting a "no listener" error from the application I am using. I took a look at the running services and I found out "OracleDBConsoleorcl" and "OracleServiceORCL" did not start. I tried to start them. But I was getting a type 2 error. tried to reboot. no good
    When I connected my computer to network, I was able to connect to the database from my application and from the enterprise manager.
    I searched this forum and I found out that I need to configure a loopback adaptor if Oracle DB is installed on a DHCP computer. In my case, I am disconnected from the network. Would a loop back adaptor fix the issue? Would it cause any problems when I connect back to network? In another word, would the database listener and OracleServiceORCL services work if I am connected and disconnected from the network?
    Thanks for the help

    I do not have Personal Edition, but if you can a check, make a copy/backup, and then change the entries in $ORACLE_HOME\sysman\config
    $ORACLE_HOME\sysman\config\emoms.properties $ORACLE_HOME\sysman\config\emd.properties
    and any httpd configuration files in that directory.

  • How to resolve "The server is unavailable and could not be accessed. The server is probably disconnected from the network." error in Sharepoint serach crawl.

    Hi all,
    I have created a content source in Search service application for a particular site collection "http://spwebapp/sites".
    I performed reset crawl index of Search service application and then performed a full crawl.
    But i get errors on running crawl on this content source for most of the files. The error is "The server is unavailable and could not be accessed. The server is probably disconnected from the network." Though the site is accessible.
    But before performing reset index the crawl was working fine on this content source. Crawl is working fine for other site collections. Only one site collection is facing this problem. Please let me know if what I can do to resolve this error.
    Thanks in advance.

    Are you seeing any error messages in the URL related to the Gatherer?  And in your content source, are there any site URLs that are no longer active or do you have any crawl rules set up that might be affecting access to the site collection?
    I've seen this happen for a variety of reason, SSL issues, proxy issues, permissions issues.  The Eventvwr and ULS logs should help you narrow down the real problem.
    Sometimes this is an issue because the indexer and the site are sitting on the same box, you could try doing a disable loopback check to see if that resolves the issue and if it does then go through the hassle of setting up a specific LSA :

  • Ichat disconnects my wireless network

    Every time I open iChat (5.0) my computer (Macbook model number A1181 Mid 2007) along with the other computers (running vista and xp) in my home disconnect from my wireless router (linksys WRT160N v3). It will reconnect again in a few minutes and It only happens when I launch ichat from my computer. All it takes to fix it is for me to re-select my network name or wait for it to reconnect itself. This is becoming increasingly annoying having to reconnect every time I want to use iChat. Does anyone have any idea what's causing this problem? It seems to have started when I upgraded to snow leopard but I don't know anyone else using a Mac who is having this issue.
    P.S I am running the latest version of Snow Leopard which is 10.6.3

    Hi,
    There is a vague chance that ichat is remembering some Network details from a failed chat or failed File Sending and is trying to re-establish that.
    I would start with deleting com.apple.ichat.plist and restart ichat.
    This file is found in Users/(your account)/Library/Preferences.
    You may need to re-do some setting in the iChat Preferences afterwards.
