BT Infinity Lag and Disconnections when another co...

Hello, I have had BT infinity since the 28th of January and love the new found speeds I now have. However whenever my sister uses the internet for Netflix and other on-demand streaming services my connection on both my laptop and more importantly my Xbox drops out and I get disconnected.
This to me shouldn't happen especially on an infinity line. I am on Unlimited Infinity 1 + Calls as the maximum speed for my line would be just over 40Mbps so going onto Infinity 2 would have been pointless.
Information on my home setup:
All devices are connected wirelessly - NOTE - I know that a wired connection would help but this is not possible due to distance between the router and my room. Also I think this is just a cop-out answer, it shouldn't just disconnect when another person uses it even on wireless.
There is a total of 4 devices that can connect at any one time but usually only three - The Xbox, My laptop and my sister's laptop.
The disconnections happen whenever my sister uses streaming services even at 2:00am like today which is what has brought me to this forum.
Any advice and answers would be greatly appreciated.

I don't think it is just my sister's laptop causing it I think its the fact she is using things like Netflix at the same time as me playing xbox. I had thought about those Powerline Adaptor's if thats what you mean by "homeplugs", but it would require me to put an long ethernet cable through the ceiling into the room above and do it from there as there would be no other way due to the location of my router.
Would that be okay?
Do these Powerline Adaptors give the same speed and reliability as a wired connection?
There is no need to install ethernet cable with homeplugs, as that's the point of them.
The major benefit of powerline networking is that users can easily establish a network using a home's existing electrical wiring as the communication medium. There is no need to drill holes in walls or ceilings to route new wiring and, as a result, installation is quick, easy and relatively inexpensive. Powerline networking is an easily accomplished networking method for AC-powered devices, which by necessity must already be near power outlets.

Apple Wireless Keyboard is lagging and disconnecting when using Macbook Pro via Bootcamp

Hey guys,
I am using my Macbook Pro (I think from 2009) with an external monitor and the apple wireless keyboard (connection via Bluetooth).
First when I set up Bootcamp everything worked fine. But now suddenly the keyboard is lagging (letters sometimes appear after a few seconds or get stuck and typed 20 times or something) and randomly completely disconnecting.
I already downloaded the newest drivers for Boot Camp 64bit from the apple website, but this didnt solve my problem.
I tried disconnecting the keyboard on mac and then reconnecting on the Windows 7 partition again. Also didn't work.
Of course I had to reconnect the keyboard when on the mac.
But it's not that it's not working. I'm using the keyboard via Bootcamp right now. It's just that it's randomly doing this...
Now I don't know what to do. Do some of you have the same issues or have any ideas that might help?

I don't think it lacks grunt.
Using big files in photoshop no problems.
The lag is less pronounced if single page is selected in page layout but the problen still exists. It just snaps from page to page and I can't scroll smoothly.
There is no option for 'hardware accelerated page display'
No problem scrolling pdf in a browser, only if the pdf file is downloaded into this computer.
The problem is in Acrobat.

E71 looses signal and disconnects when in remote S...

Regarding E71 and remoteSIM mode:
Anyone experiences the same problem as I do, that the phone is loosing signal and few seconds later disconnects from the in-car bluetooth (VW Touareg with RNS-510 module)? Mine keeps disconnecting, E61i did not do that. When driving E71 stays connected to in car system for maximum few minutes and than looses signal first and disconnects shortly after that.
Anyone here with the same car (unit) combination who could confirm/deny?
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Still no solution from Nokia here.
Make sure your RNS 510 (build in VW multimedia unit) has the newest firmware (recent is 1102). You can find out which firmware your device has by holding SETUP button when the device starts (and displays Welcome to Volkswagen screen). A new menu appears featuring the software version. Should it not appear (make sure you keep holding the button until the menu appears) that means you already have the new software version.
Many people say that this solves the problem assuming you have the newest phone version 200.21.118 from 27-11-2008. I can't check myself as I have additional device connected to my RNS (TV free). Upgrading to 1102 would disable it which I don't want, so I'm still waiting for another solution...
Good luck!

Bluetooth keyboard lags and disconnects after upgrading to Yosemite

After updating to OS X Yosemite, I'm having serious bluetooth issues. The keyboard will sporadically stop working and I'm not able to type anything. When I check the bluetooth in the top menu bar, it says it is still connected even when it's not working. The other thing it does is lag veryyy badly. At first it will appear that it's just stopping again, but then the first letter will show up with the option for all the other versions of the letter like it does when you hold down a key. After about 3 seconds the next letter I originally typed shows up and follows suit. It does the same "holding it down" thing with the space bar and delete key as well, so you can imagine my frustration when a chunk of what I just wrote out is deleted and there's nothing I can do to stop it. The lag and this repeating key thing is so severe that I literally cannot get anything done. I'm a graphic designer so I need to use a mouse and keyboard together all day long and this is making it impossible for me to get anything done.
The only thing that seems to get it back working again is opening the keyboard bluetooth preferences, turning OFF the keyboard, waiting a bit, and turning it back on. And this only works some of the time. It will say "connected" right after I turn it back on but still won't let me type anything. After a couple tries it'll start working again.
I also have some issues with the mouse disconnecting but connects right away when you click. However, I now use a Wacom tablet so I don't have a need for the mouse anymore. The key shortcuts on my tablet will stop working at some points too, so I know the keyboard is my biggest problem.
I installed the Yosemite update (10.10.1) this morning, hoping that would save the day and I'm still having the same problem. I've had to do the "turn off keyboard" thing 3 times already in this post. I also reset the PRAM and rebooted a couple times-- still nothing. I'm at my wit's end with this thing, and I can't find any answers online. I'm about to chuck this keyboard out into this 5 feet of Buffalo snow.
If anyone can pleaseeee help me I would be greatly appreciative. Thank you!

USB mouse and built-in trackpad work fine, but I have a similar issue with the Magic Trackpad which leads me to believe it is a BT issue.
My phone does have BT switched on, but I never had any problems like this with Lion, which suggests ML is the issue.
I did just find a solution that seems to work, although it's not permanent.
One guy figured out that the problem happened more frequently after waking from sleep (same is true for me), and turning the BT radio on and off helped. He made a command-line utility to do that.
Seems to work for me so far.

Facetime lags and disconnects

Guys, I am having a problem with my facetime. It lags like crazy sometimes and disconnects at random moments.
I have a N router and have the latest firmware and great signal (100%).
According to speedtest.net I have 9mbps download and 2mbps upload speed with a ping of 23ms.
I don't know why it's lagging and why it's disconnecting all the time. I will always have to reset my wifi information after a disconnect to call the user back. (turn on airplane mode and turn it off).
Also, I've reset the network on the iphone multiple times and that has not solved anything.
I've also turned on and off my phone and turned and off the activation for facetime and the problem still persist.
HELP!

Welcome to Discussions, lamvu187
Many things could be causing your problem. Some of them are:
• You may be experiencing a weak wi-fi signal.
• It is also possible you have interference .
• Other computers sharing your network are using too much bandwidth.

Xbox 360 live lagged and disconnect often with Linksys WRT300N router

I live in a two story townhouse with the modem and wireless router (Linksys WRT300N) located in the upper floor and the Xbox 360 system with wireless adapter in the bottom floor. Our laptop works fine with good connection but the Xbox live gameplay lagged big time and disconnect often. What are we doing wrong?

Configure the X-BOX using static IP....subnet mask ....gateway & DNS numbers as in the range of router ....
Also use the wireless settings same as in router
Forward the ports 88 & 3074 .... .on router .....
See above settings make any difference

Why my Firefox keeps lagging and freezing when scrolling on Facebook?

When scrolling through Facebook it keeps lagging and freezing for a few seconds, and when it happens it says "Connecting..." on the tab title. It keeps happening while I'm scrolling in the Facebook page, and if I leave the tab with Facebook working all Firefox looks a little laggy.
I've tried some possible solutions here in the support but it keeps happening.
It doesn't happen with others browser, such as Chrome.

Apple tv lag and disconnecting from macbook pro

I have an apple TV connected to the projector in my room. I connect my macbook pro to the apple tv wirelessly (obviously). There is an airport in the hallway (maybe 20 yards from me), and I am on a network. I have videos downloaded from the internet on my computer that I want to show my students on the projector. Sometimes it works. However, more times than not, there is a lag, the video freezes (audio continues to play usually). Sometimes the apple tv just disconnects (which means reconnecting it and re-selecting my speaker -- total pain!). I need something reliable that I can count on to use with my classes! So far, Apple TV is not it.
Also, for some reason I cannot put a DVD in the drive and have it play on through apple TV to the projector. Something about not being able to change over display?
I could really use some help, I'm really frustrated. I teach K-5th, one after the other, and I have different curriculum for each -- it is hard to have enough back up when the apple tv does not work.

IPhone 6 Plus Connecting and Disconnecting when syncing

I have an iPhone 6 Plus and when I try to sync it to my rMBP it constantly connects then disconnects. I tried using another USB port and the problem seemed to be fixed, but the half way through the sync it disconnected and started constantly connecting then disconnecting. I thought this could be because the phone is using too much power so I turned the phone to airplane mode and reduced the brightness to minimum but nothing.
Thanks in advance!

Firefox 37 Beta on Windows 8.1 has lag and stuttering when scrolling

I just recently got a new laptop, and since the minute I've installed firefox on it there has been lag when scrolling webpages. It seems to start off not too badly, with there being some stuttering when I first open firefox, however it seems like the longer I'm browsing the worse it gets, to the point where sometimes I'll start scrolling and then a second later firefox will just jump to the bottom of the page. Internet Explorer and Chrome both have perfectly smooth scrolling.
I've tried numerous things to fix it already, this is some of the stuff I can remember trying:
-Turning off hardware acceleration and smooth scrolling
-Starting in safe mode
-Complete reinstall with new profile
-Updating graphics card and intel drivers
Specs of the new laptop:
Core i7
GTX 970M
16Gb RAM

When I was trying different versions of Firefox to see if they all had the scrolling problem, I made sure to try 36, 38, and even 31.5 ESL portable. They all have the scrolling problem when my laptop is unplugged. However, when I tried Tor just to see what would happen - bingo! Perfectly smooth scrolling once more. This is especially weird as Tor uses 31.5.3 ESL as a base...
This made me think that it could potentially be a plugin, as Tor doesn't have any plugins installed other than Flash. However, after first disabling, then manually removing, every plugin that was listed in about:plugins the problem continues to persist.
Any idea why Tor would work flawlessly while every other version of firefox suffers the scrolling issue? I couldn't seem to remove the OpenH264 Video Codec provided by Cisco Systems, plugin. Is it possible to remove it in order to see if it is causing the problem?

ICloud Drive causing timeouts and disconnects when uploading

It seems that iCloud Drive is set to use the maximum upload bandwidth possible when adding files to it. I have a home internet connection with fairly limited upload bandwidth (1Mbps - Time Warner Cable apparently doesn't think there is any need for more than that). When I add files to iCloud Drive and they begin to upload, everything else I am doing online quickly times out and eventually disconnects. As far as I can tell, there isn't any manual control for how much upload bandwidth iCloud Drive can use. Dropbox and other cloud services have such a setting but it seems that Apple has left this out of their offering. Has anyone else experienced this?
It is probably also worth noting that this is the same thing that happens to me when I upload to iTunes Match. It seems that Apple needs to better handle users with limited bandwidth.

Hi floorram,

WRT54G Disconnects when another computer connects

Hello,
I have a WRT54G v5 Wireless-G Broadband Router. My 100MB fiber optic line is connected directly to the router and the router connects to my internet account with no problem. The main computer that I use is directly connected to the router via LAN cable to one of the 4 ports. At this point I never have any issues at all and no disconnections. Then when my laptop connects wirelessly to the router for internet access the router disconnects and reconnects immediately. Then I can resume work as normal until the next time the laptop connects to the router again. In the router settings the wireless area is set to "B-Only" on Channel 11 2.462GHz.
Can anyone tell me how to fix this issue so that the laptop can connect without causing the router to disconnect and reconnect each time?
Thank you!!
Ed

So you had this same problem? And setting the router to use either B or G solved it? That seems strange. I have 4 computers. 2 are wired to 2 of the 4 ports. Other 2 are wireless using G-capable adapters. So I configured my router to do G only. I figured why not--it is one more step in security since B clients won't even be able to connect. I'm also sure I read something in the Linksys docs that implied it was better to lock the router to one or the other if you know that's all you need to support.
Anyway, I'm going to try this like you suggest. I don't have the exact same problem. My problem is that I just lose connection between computers and the router "randomly" for 10 seconds to 2 minutes then mysteriously the wireless network will be found again. The signal is either non-existent or excellent. The router is about 10 feet from the computers and without any walls between. My router is a v1--old, but I have latest firmware available as of last week.

MacBook White lagging and hanging when certain applications are being run

My 9-month-old MacBook White (Core 2 Duo, 2.4 GHz) lags whenever I use SketchUp, and hangs sometimes when I use FlightGear or X-Plane (flight simulators). No other applications were running when these were being used. Is it a CPU problem, or a RAM shortage? Any answers and/or clarification would be much appreciated.

Can you go to Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor and check that all the processes you are running are Intel (you will find this info under the "Kind" column in the Activity Monitor window).
Also see (in the same window, under the "%CPU" column) if there appears to be any processes which are using an inordinate amount of CPU.
