ATV1 lost its wireless connection ability

After years of using my ATV1, it has lost the ability to connect to my wireless network.  I have made zero changes to the network.  It will connect to the internet/network if I use an ethernet cable.  I'm guessing the wifi card in the ATV1 went bad but if anyone has any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds likely that the card or its connection is faulty.  Could be an early symptom of more general hardware issue.
Apple are unlikely to be able to offer repair.  From memory I suspect the wifi card is replacable if you could source another (one of the unofficial modification groups dsabbled with swapping a 'video processing' card for it sacrificing wifi but allowing HD decoding).
If ethernet is impractical I'd highly recommend some mains powerline network adapters (my personal preference being those from Devolo - I've had '200 Mbps' rated ones for a few years and am thinking of getting newer '500 Mbps' ones - with all these products the ratings are theoretical and much lower in practice though cn be considerably more reliable than wi-fi.)

  • Satelite C660 keeps losing its wireless connection

    Hi
    We have bought the above laptop for our son for christmas and it keeps losing its wireless connection, we also have a Satelite L450 which is running fine (not losing internet connection) we have been onto our broadband supplier they have told us that as the wireless connection on our other laptop is fine, it is something to do with the C660, one of the drivers needs an update, unfortuneately I have forgotten the driver name but it is something to do with the modem, Our son is desperate to use his laptop.
    Can anyone help?

    Had the same problem but with a different Satellite model - the signal was fine on another laptop in the room - the problem was the power management option / power plan - the link below says it all but in short if it is on balanced the default option the default means that it tells the router to go into a power save mode that it might not support.

  • I lost my wireless connection everytime

    Hi,
    I have a little issue. When I start up my iMac intel I always lost my wireless connection. Same thing when my iMac goes into suspend mode. I then have to click on the wireless icon then on the network I want to join.
    How comes? Why the iMac is not able to reconnect automatically to the correct network?
    Thanks

    Doesn't seem right,and I'm not 100% certain, but I think you need to try dragging this file to the Desktop, then log out and back in, then setup the connection again... keeping an eye out for something like "Save in Keychain", or "Save Password"
    /Users/nnnn/Library/Preferences/com.apple.internetconnect.plist
    The reason for moving it to the desktop is that you can always drag it back if this doesn't work. Logging out/In will cause a new fresh one to be made.

  • How do I keep my Ipad from dropping its wireless connection?

    How do I keep my Ipad from dropping its wireless connection?
    Most of the time, my iPad does not maintain a connection to the interenet via my wifi router. My PC laptop has continuous connection, so I know it is not the internet connection.
    Is there a way to trouble shoot this? Can I purchase a dedicated IP Address for my Ipad? This is beyond aggrevating since internet activity is the main reason I purchased the pad.
    Your help is greatly appreciated.

    I would suggest that you give Apple Tech Support a call and go over your settings under WI-FI and General Settings as well as your router settings etc.. There are all sorts of things I could tell you to try but this forum is not the best place to go over all the numerous settings that could be the issue. Just call them and they will walk you through the proper trouble shooting steps.

    Why has my iPhone 4 lost its touch-screen-ability and created selection-boxes around apps, etc.. that require a double-tap to operate/execute?

    VoiceOver is on.  Triple-pressing the Home button may be set to turn it on or off.

    While it is on, you need to use three fingers to scroll.

  • What's wrong with my ipad3 every 5 minutes I lost my wireless connections?

    I don't know what's happen? Every 5 minutes lost wireless connection. I bought today and I can't use :(

    Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider.
    Also turn your router off for 30 seconds and on again.

  • My computer keeps losing its wireless connection

    I have a second gen Airport Express connected to a DSL modem; my main computer is a Mini, late 2012 model, running Mountain Lion on 8 gb ram. On this network, I normally also connect a MacBook running Leopard, and iPad and an iPhone.
    The Apple Airport Express model is not the newest, it is A1264 54 Mbps Wireless N Router (MB321LL/A). I've been using it about 2 ½ years without problems.
    Just recently, however, my Mini has stopped holding on to the connection. At first, I figured it was a network issue, but I've done' some trouble shooting and find that is not the case. The network is fine when I plug ethernet direct from the modem into my computer, and I have even gone so far as to set my computer up as the wireless point of connection for the other devices, and the connection speed makes me think that the wireless card in the computer is operating just fine.
    When the Airport is the wireless connection point, all the other devices have no problems, but the Mini is just awful; I have found after considerable frustration that when a page fails to load or another call to the network fails to execute, I can mouse-click the wireless symbol on the menu bar and see that the Wi-Fi is "looking for Networks," and after a brief pause with the spinning wheel animation, it finds my network in the list and turns itself on.
    Forgive me, but WTH? I suspect this is something fairly simple, a setting, but what? I was all set to buy a new Airport Express, but I really don't want to if this is something fixable.
    Does anyone know what's going on here? 
    I can tell you that the modem is set to "bridge" mode. After 10 years, the modem was replaced about a year ago, but I've had this setup for about 11 years, DSL in to a DSL modem to wireless router (always the original Apple Airport Base Station or an Airport Express, I've cooked a couple over the years). 

    Thanks, that may put me closer to a fix, but I'm not there yet.
    I'm not sure I made it clear, what's happening is the WiFi grip on the internet hangs and then drops. I have learned that when the browser progress bar halts or a podcast download slows to a crawl, I can click the WiFi icon on the top menu and it will sometimes goose the network back to a secure connection and the task will complete; other times it drops entirely, forcing me to restart everything.
    I have now ordered a new Airport Express, but won't have it until the week-end. I will then have 3 months of phone support. I was shocked to find Apple has raised the price for phone support, and while I did get a little free help yesterday, all the woman really did was get me to buy new stuff. I can't afford this. And I will bet that the new router will not solve the problem.
    I am trying to use the Wireless Diagnostics app to get some idea of what is causing the connection to hang and fail. The Apple support person did not suggest this, but I am using the utilities feature to actually watch the connection struggle and then drop; I then generate a WiFi report and try to see what was happening when the failure occurred.
    Sometimes these drops are temporary, and sometimes they require a modem and router re-start.
    The problem is, I have no idea what these reports mean. I have tried to read the instructions, and I'm not doing very well at that. AFAICT, there is no problem with any of my settings. Other devices on the network do not lose connection the way the mini does. I don't use any location settings. so that's not applicable. I have gone over the "best practices" list and think I'm in compliance with all the recommendations. It seems odd to me that the Apple page [About Wireless Diagnostics - Apple Support] tells the user what's in the diagnostics report, but does not mention what to do with the information, how to understand it or use it.   I have been watching the performance graph, and sure enough, when the connection fails, the graph reflects the failure. It operates in the excellent range most of the time, or slips into the "good" range, but I have not seen it in the poor range, it just drops. Then the Airport Untility shows the router with a yellow triangle sign with an exclamation point in the middle.
    I can post the WiFi logs if anyone can understand them.

  • HT1515 I've lost my wireless connection with light flashing amber, I've unplugged router and modem and pressed reset button on airport extreme

  • My iMac loses its wireless connection repeatedly

    My iMac loses it's wireless connection repeatedly. The only solution seems to be deleteing the wireless network from the Network Preferences, and then deleting the network password from Keychain. But I have to do this five or six times nightly. Help!

    Softwre Update would bring you up to 10.7.4 and there have been updates involving WiFi. Also here are some links to potential fixes:

    Wireless Improvements
    Move the Base Station If interference is particularly bad in one part of your house or office, move the base station to another location. But this can be tricky if your AirPort base station has to connect to the broadband feed coming into the house and that feed happens to enter at a particularly interference-prone spot.
    Use the 5GHz Band Compared with the 2.4GHz band, the 5GHz band is practically empty. The newest AirPort Extreme Base Station is one of the few Wi-Fi base stations designed for home use that work in that 5GHz band. All of Apple’s Core 2 Duo laptops and iMacs (except the discontinued 17-inch 1.87GHz model) can also use the 5GHz band; with the build-to-order wireless option, so can the Mac Pro.
    To switch to the 5GHz band, launch AirPort Utility, select your base station, and switch to Manual Setup. Click on the AirPort button and select the Wireless tab. Select 802.11n Only (5 GHz) from the Radio Mode pop-up menu. Click on the Wireless Options button and select Use Wide Channels. Click on Update to restart the base station.
    Currently, no Mac-compatible adapters enable you to use the 5GHz band in older Macs or with older versions of OS X.
    These Firmware updates may or may not apply to your system, but may help with your particular problem.

  • Cp1025 nw - I've lost my wireless connection to my Mac running OSX 10.9.4.

    I've had a HP Laser Jet CP1025 NW for years, and from time to time, I've lost the connection to my wireless network.  Now, it's gone, and nowhere to be found.  Does anyone know if this printer can print wirelessly on a Mac with OSX 10.9.4?  IF so, how?

    Hi @IhatemyHP32W 
    Although there is no full feature software and drivers for the CP1025 to work with mavericks, you can still use the printer wirelessly. Please refer to page 16 of the User Guide for instructions to set it up; LASERJET PROFESSIONAL CP1020.

  • Why does my Macbook Pro keep dropping its wireless connection?

    Hi everyone,
    Last year I purchased a 2013 Macbook Pro 13". Everything had been working well up until yesterday afternoon. My wi-fi connection keeps dropping roughly every 5 minutes for no apparent reason, with an exclamation mark flashing over the signal strength icon. It runs on Mavericks with all software updates etc. up to date. I live in a student house with 7 other people, so the network could be overburdened, though it's been fine until now. I've reset Safari, deleted info regarding the wireless network and reinstalled it, and deleted all the keychain info, but it hasn't really helped.
    I would be grateful for any responses, thanks!

    Hello aidenhh,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with Wi-Fi on your MacBook.  I would be concerned about this too.
    I recommend following the steps in the section labeled, "Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly" in the following article to resolve an issue like the one you described:

  • Oficejet 6700 "forget" its wireless connection settings

    Overall the printer works, but after several hours it "forgets" the settings for the wireless router.  I have a dedicated IP of 192.168.1.5 for the MAC address of the printer with the router.  Signal is super strong in this location and the printer detects the wireless network, I just have to set it up every time, go to the router, press the button for 3 seconds, then everything is fine again until several hours later.  I read instructions elsewhere to set the ink level detection to only work while printing and to turn off the scan to computer, but to no avail.
    Does anybody have a similar problem and has a solution?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    O.k., I read elsewhere about another printer that the static IP address needs to be outside of the DHCP range.  My printer's IP was inside that range.  So I made it so that the IP range and the static printer IP don't overlap, and that seems to have done the trick.  Over 24 hours without losing connection.

  • Lost WRT110 wireless connection

    I have successfully used my WRT110 for at least a year. All of the sudden yesterday, the wireless just stopped working. Everything connected via a wire can still get to the internet but my wireless devices can no longer connect. I have tried unplugging and upgrading the firmware yet I still can't connect. Does anybody have any advice? Is there a way to check for radio hardware failures?

    Change the Wireless Settings on your router and attempt to re-connect to your wireless network...
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1
    Leave username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
    For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
    Click on the Wireless tab
    -Here select manual configuration...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
    -Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
    - Set the Radio Band to Standard-20MHz and change the Standard channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
    Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
    For Wireless Security : -
    Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
    Change the Wireless security mode to WEP, Encryption should be 64 bits.Leave the passphrase blank, don't type in anything...
    Under WEP Key 1 type in any 10 numbers please(numbers only and no letters eg: your 10 digit phone number) and click on save settings...
    Please make a note of WEP Key 1 as this is the Security Key for the Wireless Network...
    Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
    Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
    Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

  • My HP C3180 printer has lost its printer connection.   The download on the Apple support site downloads - but at the very end, I get an error message that my device cannot be found.  Can anyone help?

    This happened all of a sudden.  Was it in response to a O/S 10 update?  The download from the Apple icon does not show a software update is needed; so a new driver is not there.  The download at the Apple Support site for HP printers downloads and seems to install until the end, when it says my device an HP C3180 cannot be found.  Can anyone help?

  • P1100w has lost its wireless and now only prints by attaching a cable from my laptop.

    My HP Laserjet Pro P1100w was working fine in wireless mode, until one day the paper became jammed and I pulled it through the printer to release it.  Since then I cannot get it to work wirelessly and now have to use a cable from the usb port.
    Any ideas or help would be appreciated.

    Is the wireless light solid or flashing?
    Hold the cancel button and it should print a configuration page.  Does it have any valid IP information listed or does it have a 169.254.X.X IP address listed?
    I did not find a p1100w in consumer support, but I did find a p1102w printer.  Is this a p1102w model printer?
