ATV keeps dropping metwork?

My ATV will only stay connected to my wifi network for about half an hour?
DHCP or manual, both are the same, any ideas?

more often than not, _*wireless interference*_ is the culprit.
either do what Chenks suggested or go +all hardwired+, i.e. connect your router (or computer) and Apple TV with an ethernet cable (or by way of *powerline adapters* _*such as these*_).

ATV keeps dropping wireless connection, loses connection information...

Hello.
I'm running the latest OS for ATV. Every other day I'm noticing, when I flip over to my ATV, that's it's lost its connection to my wireless network. I realize this may be the result of interference, but when the ATV drops its connection, does it also "forget" network connection information? I mean, I can understand dropping a connection because of interference, but shouldn't it remember the connection information, so when the connection is available again, it just reconnects?
I never had this issue with OS 2.x and only started with the OS 3.x upgrade.
I don't have the option to hardwire the ATV.
Regards,
Kristin.

Since I went to 5ghz wireless N on Apple Extreme device none of my 4 ATVs have lost connection. That was 18 months ago. Before then I too experienced frequent and frustrating loss of signal problems. I picked up a used Apple Extreme on Amazon for about $100 and set it up in the basement, near the center of the house. It communicates well through 2 floors and multiple walls.

Atv2 keeps dropping the connection to i tunes. I get a message telling me to open home sharing even though i have done so and i tunes is open on my iMac. This is not a new problem but it has gotten worse progressively

ooops.starting again. The connection to i tunes via apple tv keeps dropping after a very short period of time. T get a message telling me to turn on home sharing when its is turned and and i tunes is open on my mac. I just updated from Snow Leopard to Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 (11C74) but as the problem was happening before this i feel thats not significant. Any help would be appreciated

Hi
Thanks for the reply and the analogy, one can overlook the fact that it could be something other than the device that is the cause of the problem and i realise that, however frustration can creep in and cause one to overlook obvious things. I have spoken to my ISP and we have examined a number things, firstly my download speed on wireless which is a healthy 16mbps. Next the channels being used around me, which were numbers one, six and eleven, and we changed my channel to three. It would appear that those using eleven are mobile users with no fixed landline. I do not have any electrical devices anywhere near the ATV except for the TV itself, a DVD recorder and a PC computer only rrecently set up there and after the problems started anyway. I have removed the PC entirely from the room and it has no effect on the situation with the ATV. In the same room but some distance from the ATV, a lamp and the telephone base station, which has to be close to the socket which is in the same room as the TV and the ATV of course. The problem continues. I have actually tried connecting ATV by ethernet to the router, and last night that worked, today however it refuses to do anything at all.
At this moment in time i have the computer connected via ethernet cable, though it connects by wireless perfectly. I have the ATV connected vis ethernet, and it fails to connect to iTunes at all.
Overall i have stripped the thing down to its basics and started from scratch again more than once. I am not particularly clever, nor am i stupid. For me all i really want is to be able to plug this stuff in and have it do what it says on the tin. So far i have spent a great deal of time trying to figure out what is wrong with ATV, a device that cost £99 plus a few months ago, purchased 17th March this year, and i, like everyone else i suspect, have better things to do with my time. If you have any advice, help or suggestions i would be most grateful. Please do not think that my tone is in any way a criticism of you personally, its just a very frustrating experience.
Many thanks

Apple TV homesharing keeps dropping out ...

The homesharing on my Apple TV keeps dropping off randomly.
I have a mac with wired ethernet access, and the Apple TV uses my wifi connection.
The setup was OK, and YouTube and NetFlix are fine, but the homesharing will drop off at random times (I see the message "activate homesharing on itunes" under the Computers menu option). My mac is set to never sleep, and itunes is running continuously, so I know that isn't the problem. Wifi signal strength is 80% in the Apple TV menu.
Can anyone help ?

I'm in the same boat. I've had absolutely no problems up until recently. I have 2 Mac computers and both computers can detect eachother's shared library but they keep disappearing from off my 2 ATV 2s. I don't think it's a router thing because I can still access internet content (ATV 2 detects the networks and can still use it) but the shared libraries just disappear. I don't know if the issue is with itunes of ATV 2 but I'm thinking its software related because both ATVs are crapping out. I've had the ATVs for months with absolutely no problems and now I can't hardly use them.
I'm quickly falling out of love with ATV because its like our entire movie collection is randomly unavailable to us and we have to keep resetting the unit to get back functionality...but only for a short time.
Is anyone still experiencing this issue? Anyone found a permanent work around?

Why does my apple tv keep dropping out of home sharing.

why does my apple tv keep dropping out of home sharing.

I use homeplug powerline adapters to create my home Lan. I've never had any problem with my ATV 2.
This isn't ideal either, I would rather have shielded CAT7 cables reach all the way to my modem.
Either way, wired solutions are more reliable and have a higher potential speed as wireless uses pulsed electromagnetic radiation as a means for transportation in stead of copper or fiber optic cables
The World Health Organization's IARC has recently classified radio frequency electromagnetic fields as possibly level 2 carcinogenic to humans, concluding:
"the evidence, while still accumulating, is strong enough to support a conclusion and the 2B classification. The conclusion means that there could be some risk, and therefore we need to keep a close watch for a link between cell phones and cancer risk."

Why does my wi-fi keep dropping out with Lion ?

Why does my wi-fi keep dropping out since I purchased Lion?
Why does my wi-fi preference keep getting lost every time my computer goes into sleep mode?
Is there any way of killing the Lion and getting Snow Leopard back.

WiFi on iPhone 5S 7.0.6 keeps dropping WiFi then not reconnecting

This is my third iPhone, had a 3GS, 4S and now this 5S. While I love my iPhone it is always dropping my WiFi connection at home. I have a Retina Macbook Pro which has zero problems, there's also two 4S's, a 5C and three iPads all connecting no problem. Well the iPad Mini has now started having problems recently.
I find my connection has dropped and now is on very slow cellular. I go to WiFi in settings and click on my home network (extremely fast fibre). When I click on it the iPhone asks for my WiFi password. So I enter my password for the hundredth time and it just doesn't connect.
I have to spend ages turning my iPhone and router off and on again. This has been going on since I got the phone in December.
I am a seriously unhappy customer here Apple, I've spent thousands of pounds on your products and this is unacceptable, feels like a downgrade compared to my 4S which never set a foot wrong. I imagine it's related to iOS 7 than the hardware.
I have seen others have had this issue and want an answer, I'm really hope iOS 7.1 fixes this, there's so many little bugs and inconsistancies with this OS, feels unpolished.
WPA2 secured, 2.4GHz in a quiet rural area with next to no interfearance.

A disgruntled customer

Same problem with iPad3 wifi+cellular. Since iOs 7.0.6 the wifi on the device became unusable. Immediately after implementing this crap update, wifi connection keeps dropping in every 2 minutes. I tried to reset the device twice, even restore network settings, but doesn't help. All other devices have the same stable connection at home, than before. The problem is the IOS 7.0.6 update! This is ridiculous! Quality is significantly dropped since ios 5.1.1. The head of this developer department must be fired out! Now I cannot use my wifi at all!

Connection keeps dropping and speed is getting slo...

Hi,
I have had infinity over a week now and after having a speed of 50M and a ping of 17 each day it has dropped and is now iro 34M and ping of 37. What is of more concern is my connection is keeps dropping. Has happened every day - DSL light going off on Infinity box and homehub. I did a speed check on BT wholesale and it seems my ip profile has been dropped down to 36M.
I am connecting wireless and have tried a different channels, tried using DNS even tried a new HH3 as I had a spare. But as yet no improvement. Anyone any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

You could have a fault, to check do the following.
1. Visit this link https://www.bt.com/consumerFaultTracking/secure/faults/tracking.do;jsessionid=2W59QB2TvDGLZST41KJS2T...
2. Make an account with your BT Account number, this is different to your forum account.
3. Once the account is created re-visit the link from instruction #1 and login
4. Now you want to click on "Check my line now"
5. You should see your telephone number in a box, make sure that box is ticked if not enter your number.
6. Click on "Check my line" once step 5 has been completed
7. Make sure the details are correct, select the most relavant problem to you. I find the most common is the top selection "I've removed all equipment...."
8. Finally, Click "Check my line" **MAKE SURE NO ONE IS USING THE PHONE** Once completed, post the results contact a mod if a fault is found.

Internet connection keeps dropping at night

I'm having a bit of a weird problem with my internet connection. I connect via an ethernet cable and the connection keeps dropping. It generally starts after 7pm and seems to be every 40 minutes. I have changed the microfilters and ethernet cable but I'm still getting this problem. The really weird thing is that all four lights on the hub are blue but the computer cannot connect to the router. Sometimes the connection will just drop other times it will say limited connection. I've finally had to resort to windows diagnostics and sometimes even that doesn't work. I swapped my black hub with the old white one and I didn't have this problem of the connection dropping but my connection speed dropped to 1.5 - 2mb.
I was thinking maybe there was something wrong with my ethernet card but now I think it must be something in the black hub because the white one worked. Am I correct in thinking I need a new router?

ASA 5505 Site to Site VPN keep dropping

Hi all,
I have an issue with my site to site VPN.
I have 4 sites connected to my main HQ site via Cisco ASAs 5505 firewalls. The problem is that once and then the sites disconnected from my main site. This disconnection is not happening at the same time for the the 4 sites. For example, it might be different site each time disconnected.
Could you please advice any suggestions. Let me know if you want to post the firewall's configurations.
Thank you for your time

Hi,
Regarding the above issue, the site-to-site vpn connection still keeps dropping.
I have attached for you some logs and configurations in order to have a better view.
x.x.138.1 - HQ site

x.x.139.253 - Branch 2
** I have attached configuration of two branches and the HQ site.
Thank you.

Iphoto keeps dropping out. Sometimes other programs do too such as Software Update. They other programs seem to drop randomly but iPhoto drops out constantly. Is there a solution?

iPhoto constantly keeps dropping out. Other programs do at times but iPhoto drops out constantly. Does anyone know what causes this?

Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Phone line and BB connection keeps dropping - BT H...

My broadband and phone connection keeps dropping. Its been fine for years and now since all this bad weather we have been having the connection lasts temporarily for a few minutes sometimes more and then all the blue lights start flashing orange, sometimes for a while, and then back to blue. Could it be that there is a wider problem in the area I am living in my area. I have tried to report this to BT via the Indian call centre but the best they can offer me is an engineer visit on 20 January (!!) and I may have to pay £130 if the fault is found on my property so I would like to know first if there is a wider probelm affecting others in my area. Many thanks.
Solved!

3G connection keeps dropping out after 4.2.1 update

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone could help me.
I have the iPhone 4, and it was working perfectly... until I upgraded to iOS 4.2.1.
Ever since then, my 3G connection keeps dropping out, and I'm just left with vodafone UK (with usually 3-4 bar signal) but no 'o', 'E' or '3G' symbol.
After about 20 minutes of no cellular data, I'd get the 'o' symbol, then 10 seconds later it would change to '3G'. But then after 5 seconds it would lose it. The cycle would continue in this way.
Strangely, when at home, the 3G would stay connected. But when I go anywhere, I lose 3G.
When I turn 3G off, I get constant 'o' connection where ever I go. It doesn't drop out.
I've tried resetting the phone, and resetting network settings.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.

I'm having a similar issue with my new iPhone 4 (w/ 4.2.1)... It continually cycles through the following sequence:
AT&T / 3G
AT&T / No Data
Searching…
Searching… 3G
AT&T / 3G
(loops…)
Here is a video of the cycling. Note the iPhone 4 is just sitting on a coffee table in my house.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7186070/ip4fw421searching.mov
Also worth noting, I just got the iPhone 4 and I updated it to 4.2.1 right away. Previously, I had a 3GS which did not exhibit any of this behavior in the same location in my house. Also, my girlfriend still has a 3GS and has FW 4.2.1 without these issues. I have a video of her phone in the exact same location taken just after the clip above and her phone maintains 3-bars / AT&T / 3G the entire time.
I picked up the iPhone 4 while out of state over the holiday weekend and did not observe any of these connectivity issues, in fact the 3G throughput of the iPhone 4 was significantly better (consistently got >4 Mbps down / >800 Kbps up) than what my family members were seeing with their 3GS models.
I believe it is a baseband issue introduced with the 4.2.1 update for iPhone 4, but I also strongly believe there is some tower component to this problem (ie, software revision at the tower or configuration).
Like others here, I also performed a restore to 4.2.1 through iTunes and setup my phone as "New" and I continue to see the behavior. The phone is unusable in my house unless I manually disable 3G. As a final data point, when I'm able to maintain a 3G connection long enough in my house I get the following throughput from Speedtest.net: 1863 Kbps down / 543 Kbps up.

Since I have downloaded IOS5 on my IPAD and synced to my IMac, Safari keeps dropping off before downloading the website, is slow, also an icon which accessed open safari windows is no longer available. Apps trouble too. Help?

Since I have downloaded IOS5 on my IPAD2 and synced to my IMac, Safari keeps dropping off before site is downloaded and is slow. There was an icon that showed how many windows were open on Safari and when pressed displayed them, that has disappeared and apps do not always download. Sometimes by making several/many attempts, it eventually downloads the website or app, but this is not right. When trying to dowload any lonks from an email, they simply do not open, it keeps going back to the home screen. Does anybody have any suggestions? I only bought the IPAD 2 in June!

Also the touch screen does not seem to be responding adequately. Thank you for any help you can give.
