B210A constantly loses connection

Set my B210A up on the network, and it constantly loses connection. It wll connect then lose connection 2 minutes later, then reconnect by itself, then loose connection 1 minute later. I set it up, cleared defaults and reset it up, and the report said I had 146 disconnections (1 hour period). No other device on the network is having this problem.
Router (Netgear N600)
WPA
Trying to print from HP Dv7-4290us
DHCP
Auto IP
I wanted to add this does not happen when it goes to sleep. It happens when it is ready to print. In fact I can not install the printer on my computer becasue it does not stay connected long enough.

Hello rkboid,
Seems like the network connection of the unit is a little unstable. You can try solving this by giving the unit a static ip adres. This means the unit will keeps it's ip adres instead of getting a new one from the router every few days or so. This can be a lot of help with unstable connections.
This is how to do it.
- Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.  If it is 0.0.0.0 or 169.254.x.x then the printer is not connected.  You will have to re-connect it using the same method you did originally.
Now that it is connected, this is how to set a static IP:
- Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings. (if this does not work, you likely have a firewall and/or security system blocking it - please advise).
- Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. Enter the current IP address that is on the printed page.
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- As Gateway use the ip adres of the Router and DNS blank. Click 'Apply'.
Reboot the printer and your computer and after this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address. But not always needed.
Let me know if this works for you.

  • We constantly lose connection to the server

    We have an Leopard based Apple server and constantly lose connection.  Our wireless router is an AT&T.  We have no disruption to internet service.  Any ideas on how we can maintain connection?

  • Bluetooth constantly loses connectivity

    My mac mini is constantly losing bluetooth connectivity.   I have an apple wireless keyboard and trackpad and non-apple bluetooth speakers.  They will all lose connectivity at random times but the most annoying is the speakers.  It can take 5-10 times removing them and re-connecting before they work properly the keyboard and trackpad will usually, though not always, connect by using the on/off button.   But this is most annoying.  I have reset my airport extreme as per suggested but this did not help.  I have removed my wireless telephone from my desk thinking it might be interfering, but nope didn't make a difference.  I thought Apple was less bothersome than Windows but this doesn't seem to be the case for me! Any help would be appreciated!  Lori

  • Officejet Pro l7580 Constantly loses connection to wireless laptop!!

    Hi and thanks for helping.
    I have an Offiecejet Pro L7580 and use it on my network, servicing a desktop and a laptop. The desktop is wired to the router while the laptop is wireless. Concerning my desktop, the printer connection is solid. It is 100% dependable. My laptop is a completely different story. I noticed that it would connect just fine and print, scan, etc... But after about 10-15 minutes it tells me that it is disconnected. This has been a continuous problem. Both systems use win.7 Ultimate 64 bit.
    I found out that if I go into my D-Link DI-524 wireless router and change my wireless channel from one to another, it automatically reconnects. This means that my printer... or laptop is losing a connection due to channel activity. I have tried multiple channels in case of wireless interference from other devices. It happens all the same. This either sounds like a printer firmware problem that loses connection when the router channel cycles, or my laptops network card (even though I never lose connection to the internet). My laptop uses a buffalo mini usb wifi adapter (thanks to a widely known problem of DV series factory defects).
    Please help me find out what the problem is.
    Thanks,
    Jason

    Here are a few things to try:
    1. Update the firmware on your router.
    2. Set a static IP address for your printer:
    - Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
    - Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
    - Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
    - On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). Yours is 192.168.0.100 to .199  Enter 192.168.0 220 for the IP address.
    - Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
    - Leave the gateway and DNS blank. Click 'Apply'
    Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
    After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.

  • D-Link 2750b Modem constantly loses connection

    Since I have had Verizon High Speed Internet Service, we lose connections to all our wired and wireless devices in our house a couple of times a day. It always resolves immediately after unplugging the power to the D-Link. I have spent countless hours on the phone with technicians. The internet light is still lit on the D-Link when I lose connectivity, and the wired Ethernet does not work either. Unlplugging the D-Link always works, but this is inconvenient because it is located upstairs in a bedroom. What are my options? I am perfectly willing to buy my own router if need be.

    Since the Internet light is lit, I'm assuming it's remaining lit green, along with the DSL light, correct? Have you tried pinging the D-Link and an Internet website to see where a connection problem could be? Using a Terminal or Command Prompt on your computer while your connection is down, run the following command: ping 4.2.2.2 This command will ping a server out on the Internet and prove whether or not the Internet connection itself is actually working in a sense. Next, without rebooting the modem, do the following: ping 192.168.1.1 I'm assuming that the IP address of the D-Link is 192.168.1.1 like the rest of the Verizon modems. This proves that your computer has an active connection to the D-Link, and the D-Link hasn't gotten into a state where it has either crashed or locked up. Some other notes, if the D-Link is crashing (does not respond to ping until after it is rebooted), start off by giving the device a factory reset. In addition, be on the lookout for connection heavy applications. Torrent clients, and even gaming applications like Steam's Server Browser (if not rate capped) can cause a Gateway to crash if too many connections are made in a short period of time. Also, if you have a device trying to upload data at too fast of a rate (for example, if you have 768kbps of upload but an application is trying to force 8Mbps out), this could be causing the Gateway to crash. Lastly, make sure the Gateway is getting a clean power source. Shoddy power causes stuff like this to lock up all the time. If the connection is physically down, where the first ping command does not return anything, but the second ping command does, visit the D-Link's web interface which is usually at http://192.168.1.1/ to see if the status page shows anything out of the ordinary. If you need login information, try: admin/passwordadmin/password1admin/adminadmin/admin1admin/verizonadmin/verizon1admin/Router's Serial Number as printed on the back of the device.

  • Built in Airport Extreme constantly loses connection

    Hi,
    I know a lot has been written about the recent airport firmware update where people have lost their reliable connections and I think I have suffered with this as well. My Netgear modem/router sits downstairs and my mac upstairs so there is a distance of about 30ft max (direct of course a bit less). When I purchased my iMac 2.5weeks ago I also logged into the internet without a problem and since the update it's all gone. My windows laptop can connect from exactly the same place and so when I moved my iMac to within 4 ft of the router it worked. Of course having an iMac in your hallway is not the best solution.
    So eventually my question, what sort of range does the built-in airport have?
    I can connect sometimes but it will go away again and maybe come back...it's a bit like a sulky teenager. Even last night I did a speed test on both the mac and windows laptop and the laptop got double the download speed as the Mac! That's got to be a first.
    I would like to move the netgear upstair but my phone engineer says the best speeds I can achieve is through the main telephone socket.

    I am having the problem of intermittent loss of signal even when I am sitting right next to the airport. I have 2 macs running off the airport and I have no problems for hours on end and then suddenly, my brand new macbook drops the connection and doesn't show the airport listed at all. If I wait a few minutes, it is back in full force to be selected but i must go in and select it. My old imac is downstairs further from the airport than my macbook and it never loses the signal. It will show the airport when the macbook does not.

  • Ipad2 constantly loses wi-fi connection

  • After upgrading to Maverick, my computer constantly loses internet connectivity

    I have an iMac with 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, Memory: 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, 1 TB storage capacity.  Since upgrading to Maverick, my internet seems to lose connectivity constantly.  Almost every time I open up Safari and type in a search, I get an error message that I am not connected.  All I do is just press the Enter button a couple times, and it connects and opens up a web page.  If I am watching a long video (20 minutes long), the internet will almost always cut out during the video, and I just have to click on the bar at the bottom of the video to get it going again. 

    Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
    Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If not, do that now and see whether there's any change.
    If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    and confirm. Any change?
    Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
    Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
    If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
    If Parental Controls is active for any user, please turn it off and test. Any change?
    Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
    If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

  • Macbook Constantly Loses Internet, but not Wireless Signal

    I have a black 2008 Macbook (don't have the full specs on me since I'm on my work computer) and it constantly loses internet connection (i.e. I can no longer visit websites), however Airport continues to show full signal strength to my wireless network. I think it may be a DNS issue. Is it possible for the Airport card to go bad? Has anyone else had these issues?
    FWIW, I'm using AT&T U-Verse for my internet connection. I think the issue is specific to my computer. My two roommates also have macs, and they have no problems with the internet dropping.
    Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    No idea if I'm honest. I used a landline phone on the same line as the broadband. When i used the phone, i could hear it crackling.Once they had done whatever they did, that crackling disappeared.

  • Wireless Keyboard Constantly Losing Connection

    I have been having trouble with my wireless keyboard for awhile now. It constantly loses the connection to my iMac.

    Similar problem here -- keyboard has brand new batteries. I go into System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Set up Wireless Keyboard. It shows the "searching" and wait cursor. If I hold the power button on the keyboard, the light will turn green, and then it will flash, and as it's flashing the computer will say "keyboard found". If I hit the "Continue" button in time, it will show 100% on the battery charge when it gets back to the main screen, but within 5-20 seconds the keyboard will disconnect, giving a "Connection lost" message

  • Wireless N WRT300, Constantly Losing Connection

    This router Constantly loses the internet connection, and I am HARD WIRED to this router, is this not somthing they should have mastered Ages ago?
    The wireless signal is Weak and constantly loses it's connection.
    I've tried calling them to fix it, I've changed the MTU, from 1500, to 1400, to 1300 etc, etc, I 've also set it to auto.... nothing.
    Every so often the internet connection Drops, the only way to fix it, is to Unplug the router and plug it back in. Soon as this is done the internet works instantly again. I can see the wireless being buggy, but NOT the hardwire, there is NO excuse for this.
    And to boot I just love how bestbuy wont allow any exchanges on this type of hardware, And cannot return it, and I cannot exchange it for a different router. I can only echange it for the exact same make and model of router.

    I also have the wrt300N router. I am losing connection all the time either wirelessly or wired. When the router works it is blazing fast, but every 2-5 minutes it just HANGS which is REALLY ANNOYING!
    I have updated the firmware. This happens on my wired XP machine, my wireless XP, or on my apple laptop. It is not the computers becuase my old wireless router (linksys i forget the number, but it was a b system at least 4-5 years old) did not have this issue....
    I saw on some threads that port forwarding may help? Is this a solution? Anyone have any ideas? Clearly by reading the posts this is not an isolated problem....

  • Why does my wireless keyboard continuously lose connection?

    I got this iMac brand new this past spring, and the wireless keyboard constantly loses the connection to the computer.  I mean constantly.  In the time I have taken to actually get onto this discussion board, it has lost the connection no less than 10 times.  Anyone else having this problem or know how to fix it?

    Since the 10.6.7 I get inaccurate information about battery levels. This widget seems to give more precise info for keyboard, trackpad and mouse: http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/mightymonitor.html

  • Windows 7 Pro Client loses connectivity to internal Win2k8 web server

    1. affected workstation are Optiplex 380 running Win 7 pro sp1 with broadcom NICs.
    2. Internal users use a internal webserver for customer invoicing application. Users lose connectivity to this internal web server, all other networking works, network shares, internet, etc. If I try to ping the webserver IP I get no reply. XP
    machines are not affected. Not a DHCP issue as there are plenty of IPs.
    3. I have tried different internal NICs (3com) but still had issue. I have upgraded BIOS, nic drivers. etc.
    4. I rebuilt one of the machines using Windows XP pro sp3 and have had no issue with that workstation.
    the problem started a few months or so ago. I have not been able to determine the source. I tried running wireshark but nothing stuck out. I have changed the session settings on the IIS server from 15 minutes to 6 hours but did not make a difference.
    5. Today when client lost connectivity to the server I tried pinging from the server back to the client and the connection was restored. This issue really has me confused as I cannot find anything in the logs that sticks out.

    Hello,
    Thank you for your question.
    I am trying to involve someone familiar with this topic to further look at this issue. There might be some time delay. Appreciate your patience.
    Thank you for your understanding and support.

  • Remote app on iPad connects to iTunes but then loses connection.

    Hi,
    Basically, I can get the app on my  iPad to connect to iTunes, but if I then start doing something else on my iPad, or my computer goes to sleep, then the remote won't connect again. Even if I wake my macbook and try to connect it again.
    If I press 'add an iTunes library' in the remote app, nothing appears on iTunes.
    To solve the problem, I have to restart my computer.
    I just checked to see if my iPhone connects and it worked straight away. Maybe its a problem with my iPad?
    Can anyone suggest anything?
    Oscar

    I too have this problem and made it worse. Under Mavericks and iOS7 everything set up very easily and worked beautifully like Apple stuff usually does. Then a couple of weeks ago I took the dive and updated to Yosemite, iTunes 12 and iOS8 and then I would occasionally lose connection with my iTunes library as described by the second poster. Very aggravating. So I made a bigger mistake and deleted the library from my iPad Remote app and whenever I started it up again it would say 'Add a device'. I clicked and a randomly generated 4 digit number appears with the exact instructions: 'To add an iTunes library, open iTunes on your computer and choose Remote from the tab bar'. I went to iTunes and searched EVERYWHERE for this Remote tab bar and could not find it. I then went to iTunes Preferences: Devices and clicked the button 'Forget All Remotes' thinking this may reset something in iTunes and make the Remote tab appear somehow to start from scratch. Wrong! Now there is absolutely no connection between the Remote app on my devices and iTunes on my computer.
    Can anyone point me to this Remote tab in iTunes?? If I can find that then I think I should be able to fix this.
    Geez, talk about effing up what should be (and was) a very simple app.
