BT Infinity - wifi dropping for no apparent reason

So, got BT Infinity installed around 2 months ago, and straight away noticed that wifi kept dropping maybe every 10-15 minutes...and then of course would be stable for a day or so. Tried the usual suspects, range, moving PCs, power cycling, turning the cordless phone off, switching channels, turning security off (briefly!), and using different clients (XP, PS3, Win 7) - but to no avail.
Have taken my time to submit a query because the main three locations I use PCs & connected tech in have gigabit Ethernet close to hand, but want to get this resolved.
Also saw another query / thread around wifi and BT infinity...but no suggested answers.
Thoughts appreciated

<much delayed response>
...Its the V2...had the old non-Infinity version of the V2 hub and it was rock solid. Seems I have the same problem as a bunch of other Infiniity users. Tried moving to non-N and not marked impovement
The most reliable fix seems to be replacing the router with a Netgear box...don't really see why i should have to buy another box to fix the failings of BT's hardware.
thanks for the suggestion though.

  • Wifi signal drops to two bars for no apparent reason

    Possibly since the last Apple system upgrade, the Airport signal to my Airport Extreme just drops down to two or three bars often, sometimes off, for no apparent reason.
    My set up is
    imac Intel (n) ->
    Airport Extreme Base Station (n) ->
    Printer (wifi) and modem (ethernet)
    The connection was very bad when we bought the airport, eventually we had it replaced, it was then mostly OK, recently it's started acting up again.
    I have tried turning off the computer and Base Station and modem and printer and restarting. Doesn't help. Right now it's just jumped up to 5 bars again. Neither computer nor base station ever move. The base station is one room away (about 9m). There is no change in the obstacles between the computer and the base station. The temperature of the airport card, according to istat pro, is 66°C - the weather is hot here.
    To get the replacement from Apple last time, we had to spend about ten hours on the phone, repeating the problem over and over again, resetting the Airport countless times, creating new accounts, and even reinstalling the system (none of which helped).
    So I was wondering if this is a known problem, or if anyone had any solutions to offer other than obvious resetting of the base station etc.
    Many thanks for your help - this is a wonderful machine but an annoying problem.

    Wireless Card Type: AirPort Extreme (0x14E4, 0x88)
    Wireless Card Locale: Worldwide
    Wireless Card Firmware Version: Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 (4.170.46.7)
    Airport model number: A1143
    Serial number: 6F7.........EW

    Hi Brandon - thanks for the suggestion!
    Funnily enough - ever since writing that message the Airport has been on 5 bars continuously ! I simply have no idea why - unless there was some kind of delayed action of a few hours after restarting everything…
    Anyway, I had a look at Airport Utility out of interest - I am on 100% and 2MB. Should I be on 5.5 or 11 MB ?
    Also a screen came up saying there was a firmware update available, and then a second one. So I updated - so far so good - maybe that was somehow blocking things ?

    hi

    Since about 2 weeks ago for no apparent reason, the internet on my iPad suddenly stopped working (when I open Safari, it says: "Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the Internet"), even though the Wifi icon in the top left corner still shows full signal. However, I noticed when I went into Wifi settings (Settings>Wifi) that there is no checkmark next to my network name (only the spinning circle icon, as if it's trying to process something). This only happens at home (I can browse the internet while connected to  Wifi at university). My other Apple devices (MacBook Pro and iPhone 4S) work perfectly fine at home.
    I've tried resetting my router, restarting my iPad, resetting Network Settings on my iPad, and tried following Hynes' instructions on this thread:https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2453187?start=15&tstart=0, but nothing has worked so far (although I have to admit that I found the instructions on that thread somewhat confusing, so there is a chance that I accidentally did not follow them properly).
    Could someone please help? It'd be VERY much appreciated.

  • Desktop appearance problem:  For no apparent reason my Mac running OSX 10.4.11 imposed a mesh-like pattern over the folders on my desktop and also across the top of the screen and down the right-hand side where I have the dock.  How do I remove it?

    For no apparent reason my Mac (2 GHz PowerPC G5) running 10.4.11 has put a mesh-like pattern over the folders on my desktop and also a band of the same pattern across the top of the screen and down the right-hand side over the dock.  (See screen grabs below.)
    It doesn't affect any operations but makes folder names and drop-down menus difficult to read through the pattern.
    I'm not aware of changing any settings so suspect I must have clicked on something without noticing.  How do I get rid of the overlaid pattern, please?

    Information about my computer is as follows:
    Machine Name:          iMac G5
    Machine Model:          PowerMac8,2
    CPU Type:          PowerPC G5  (3.1)
    Number Of CPUs:          1

  • Ethernet suddenly stopped working for no apparent reason

    My late 2011 MBP is usually functioning as a desktop with external display and keyboard/trackpad, so I have it connected via ethernet when it's on the desk.  However, my connection suddenly stopped working for no apparent reason.......... BUT clearly not a router problem as there's no problem with the wifi connection.  System Preferences > Network > Ethernet is telling me:
    Status: Connected.  Ethernet has a self-assigned IP address and will not be able to connect to the internet.
    Dunno how this happened, as to my knowledge I didn't actually do anything to cause this problem, just randomly stopped working.  Any solutions much appreciated, thanks :-)

    Please post a screenshot of the Network preference pane. Be careful not to include any private information.

  • TS1424 has anyone experienced their payment method on iTunes Store being declined for no apparent reason?

    For no apparent reason I got a response back from the iTunes Store saying " this card can not be used for the iTunes Store"
    I have been using the same card for over a year no problem. Checked with my back looks good on their end.
    Has anyone ran into this before?

    Thanks for the the information Tyler. I'm still in awe, I heard that if an LCD is over heating or the phone is over heating, there would be a warning message telling me that the device is over heating, not sure how true is this?
    Nah I never dropped it yet, its too fresh and precious to me but the funny thing is no matter what care I took since the three weeks that I've had it, it still developed this problem.

  • HT1937 I have an imac and an iPad. emails are synched but suddenly, last night, the calendar on my imac was erased for no apparent reason but it is still on my iPad. what has happened and can how do I resynch calendars?

    I have an imac and ipad. Last night the calendar was erased for no apparent reason. It remains on my ipad. what happened and how can I get the calendar dates back on my imac?

    Hello Chisels,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. If you want to get content from your iPad to you iMac, there are a few things to try.
    First check to the iPad to see if it is syncing with iCloud. To do this, go to Calendar app and click the Calendars button in the upper left hand corner. If it says iCloud, then all you need is to enable iCloud on your iMac if you are running 10.7 Lion or later. That preferences is System Preferences > iCloud, if you are
    If on the iPad it says “On my iPad”, the following steps will guide you to get it back your iMac.
    First, in iTunes, go to the preferences by clicking in the drop down menu iTunes  > Preferences… Go to the device tab and make sure to check the box that says Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from Syncing automatically.
    Then follow the steps in the following articles to make a backup and the sync the data.
    For backup instructions.

  • HELP ! ! ! - Modem disconnects for no apparent reason and won't reconnect

    HELP!!! My modem has been disconnecting for no apparent reason and then when I try to reconnect, it will seem to start the process, and then switch to "Disconnecting . . ." which will then run without an apparent end until I restart the computer. On Tue. and Wed. it dropped the connection promptly at about 6:45. Thursday it dropped at about 8:15. Please help me with this. I don't like having to do a restart in the middle of my work!

    Mail accounts have two separate sets of credentials and settings.  One set of credentials for inbound (receiving) mail and also used for accessing any mail you've saved on your ISP mail server — POP or IMAP is used for that — and one set for outbound (sending) email messages out — SMTP is used for that.
    Your outgoing email settings are likely incorrect; here is Apple's support document (TS3276)
    You can use the Connection Doctor (Mail.app Window > Connection Doctor) to get (and show details) but your description certainly seems that your outbound (SMTP) settings — server name, port, username, password, whether SSL/TLS is disabled (unlikely) or enabled (likely) — don't match what your mail ISP requires.
    In Mail.app, the inbound (POP or IMAP) mail account settings are easy to find.  Mail.app Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Account Information.  The sending (SMTP)Nsettings are buried, and you have to select the inbound (POP or IMAP) settings (Mail.app Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Account Information) and then switch the Outbound SMTP Server pop-up setting to its Edit SMTP Server List setting, and you'll get a whole different set of settings shown.  Select the SMTP server for your ISP from the list, and then edit the settings to match the requirements. 
    I unfortunately can't tell you what the settings need to be, because the required settings can and do differ by ISP.

  • I have two mail accounts using mac mail. One account goes offline for no apparent reason.  Check mailbox menu all accounts online, password correct, etc.  but still can't get back

    one account goes offline for no apparent reason.  I check Mailbox drop down menu for Take all accounts online, check correct password OK, turn mail off and on, reboot computer, etc.  Nothing seems to work.  Has happened in the past, but has also "fixed itself" after unknown time periods.  One account has not been working now for awhile.  I would like to get to the bottom of this.

    Hello,
    Who is your eMail provider, the part after the @ sign?
    In Mail's Window Menu, choose Connection Doctor, any red dots for status, if so what is the message?
    Then click the Show Details button & Check again.

  • Satellite P750 - touch buttons have been activated for no apparent reason

    Heya
    My Toshiba P750/02L001 seems to have this wierd issue where the touch buttons that activate the volume controls / green mode / wifi switch / etc... have been activated for no apparent reason
    My hands are no where near the proximity, and it only does it after a given time
    Any idea on what this could be?
    I'm running the prebuilt Win 7 Home Prem edition that came with the laptop

    Sounds like the switch board is faulty. I would send the notebook to a Toshiba repair center. There is an ASP list on the Toshiba website.

  • Have large data downloads for no apparent reason can be upwards of a half a gb. Any ideas

    Hi,
    My sons iPhone 4S with 64 megs of memory periodically has a large data usage. Can be around .5 gb for no apparent reason. Wifi is on. Sometimes this download occurs in middle of night. Any ideas. Thanks

    If it is cellular data usage you should be able to identify the cause with a little detective work. Settings > Cellular > Use Cellular Data For will show data usage by app and if you click on System Services in that list it will also show the details of system service usage. The numbers are from the last time the statistics were reset (bottom of the same screen).

  • My ipad2 has developed a pink/purple haze screen for no apparent reason?

    My Ipad 2 wifi 3g has developed a pink/purple pyschodelic screen for no apparent reason. Tried resetting but it won't go away .

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    A reset may help both issues. No data is lost due to a reset.

  • Camera on new 520 turns on for no apparent reason

    I just got a new 520; haven't even loaded a sim card yet.
    I am using it on WIFI.  The camera turns on and takes pictures for no apparent reason.  It didn't do this when I first used it, but it doing it every couple minutes now.  At first I thought I was hitting the camera button (they put it in a silly place) but now I am being careful to avoid it and the problem is getting worse.
    Am I doing something wrong or is it defective?
    Any way to just turn it off?

    I would assume the camera key is stuck or not released to back in place. There is no way to activate camera on WP8 other than pressing the camera key, so get it checked in Nokia care center.
    If a reply has solved your problem click Accept as solution button, doing it will help others know the solution. Thanks.

  • Motion Clock going offline for no apparent reason.

    i have a motion file of a countdown clock, downloaded from Industrial Revolution and adapted for my own use.
    It went offline yesterday, and I figured I had done something silly in error without knowing. This morning it has just done it again twice - for no apparent reason.
    I imported it into my project via the browser, dropped in the timeline, rendered, all smiles. Then within a few minutes a alert appears telling me its gone offline.
    Any ideas?
    cheers
