Can't Keep A Constant Connection...Advice?
Using Airport Xtreme 802.11, Mac Pro, OSX 10.5.7, all latest updates. Safari connects to a site...like this...and maybe two more. Then next place I go....just stalls out and finally says "Can't Find Server." Tried changing the channel several times, works for a handful of sites, then stalls again. Been going on for days. Any ideas?

Sound like the DNS server that you are using is overloaded.
Instead of your current DNS settings, try using OpenDNS. The settings are:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

I just updated my iphone 4 to ios6 and I can't keep the wifi connection when the phone goes to sleep. I need to keep entering my wifi password when I wake up the phone. How do I keep the wifi on each time I walk into my house without reentering my password?
What? Do you work for Apple?
I have been on the phone for Apple since 5:30 Eastern Time today. We are still on the phone with them. It is 10:14 PM. We are going to get a new phone because the ios6 has major problems! The wifi connectivity is a serious problem. Apple is aware of it. More people need to do something about it. I am willing to start a class action suit against them. I have means to an attorney pro bono. If you are having problems using your iphone 4 or 4s with wifi and ios6...I suggest you spend time calling a senior advisor and get a new phone sent to you. They know they messed up but they can't fix it. -
I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate on Bootcamp. I've installed all Windows software, with all the drivers, and my wireless internet works fine. But, every once in awhile, it will say, "no internet access", and I'm unable to do anything until it restores. Like I've said, all the drivers have been installed, and they're both copied onto my desktop, and on a flash drive.
I need to keep a stable connection, because I only use my Windows partition for gaming, and when I get disconnected from the internet, I get booted from the game. Any advice?what version of bootcamp you use to install all of the driver ?? is it the problem was from the beginning you installed windows or just now ?? or maybe you can try usb wifi to test the windows is not the problem..

Hello,
We have two MBPs on an Asus router (N56U) and we find that only one computer can connect at a time. Within a few seconds of the other connecting, the one that was connected disconnects. When we try to log on again, we're told that the connection timed out. Or it "connects" but there is no internet. Any advice?
Thank you!
ChristianHi Silvergc,
Thank you for this. I agree: the problem seems to be either the router or the modem. I now have an Airport Extreme and am hoping this solves the problem.
Only now I have another problem--the airport utility can't find the airport extreme if I plug in an external harddrive into the airport extreme. I should start another thread for this, yes?
Thanks again Silvergc.
Yours,

5530 XM can't keep a constant GPRS connection
Hi, I have a 5530 XpressMusic, which is about a year and a half old and I can't use mobile applications (like WhatsApp) constantly because the phone connects to the GPRS network and then 20 or so minutes later cancels the connection and reconnects (which costs quite a bit when you take it in for 24hrs). It doesn't seem to be an issue with the network provider so I assume it could be something with the phones software?
Are you syncing e-mail, Facebook,etc....? Check retrieval settings.

How can you keep the wifi connected after logoff
I have a brand new MBP with 10.8.4. I would like to login to my AD account but because the wireless is disconnected, I get the red light and the "Network accounts are unavailable". The machine binded to AD just fine....
Thanks for any help.I have no idea how to keep it connected, but you should have no problems logging back in to the network. The upside to haveing the WIFI shut down when you are logged out is that nobody can remotely connect to your system over WIFI. A wired ethernet connection remains active.
The red light is more informative that indicating you have a problem. I have the same symptoms with my work network and have no problems. The network accounts problem is for those that are setup to have no local login and require a network connection for authentication. Is this what you have? -
FF not keeping a constant connection
I've had this problem for about 2 months now. Give or take a few weeks. My Firefox Build 7.0.1 will not hold a constant internet connection. I will rule out possible stuff.
Internet connection to my PC is constant with a 30 MB/s connection.
Does not happen on any other browser (Chrome IE Safari)
It is not an addon, Did a fresh install.
Now, I launch the browser and it works fine for about 5 mins, Then it will loose connection. No error or anything, FF just won't load any pages. Thus I restart the browser and works for another 5 mins or so.

AEBS can't keep an internet connection for more than 1 day...why?
I continually have to reset my Ethernet cable on my cable modem to get connected to the internet.This is very frustrating. I had Apple send me a new unit and that still hasn't fixed the problem. The only thing that works is printer sharing.
Is anyone else experiencing the same problems?According to Adobe...
http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/faq.html
Do I need ongoing Internet access to use my Creative Cloud desktop applications?
No. Your Creative Cloud desktop applications (such as Photoshop and Illustrator) are installed directly on your computer, so you won't need an ongoing Internet connection to use them on a daily basis.
An Internet connection is required the first time you install and license your desktop apps, but you can use the apps in offline mode with a valid software license. The desktop apps will attempt to validate your software licenses every 30 days.
For annual members, you can use the apps for up to 99 days in offline mode. Month-to-month members can use the software for up to 30 days in offline mode.
Seems like you would be ok, but I understand what you're saying, hopefully a Staff member will confirm. -
How can you keep iphone from connecting to unknown networks and stop asking about them?
When i have WiFi on, but "ask to join" is turned off, i've found that my iphone connects to open unsecured networks on its own whenever it can. These are not networks it has previously been connected to. I want it to behave like every other WiFi device out there where i have a list of known networks that it accesses when in range and i don't want it to ask me or connect to anything else when not in range. I understand i can turn WiFi off but this is a pretty big pain to have to manually do this every time i go in and out of range of networks i want to be connected to.
It also would be nice if anyone knows of a way to edit my know networks list as a list instead of having to be in range of the network and then one by one go through every visible network to figure out which ones it considers known. Especially when it has automatically added networks without my knowledge when the ask to join was turned off.Let me give you an example. I'm at a United lounge at O'Hare Airport right now. They have WiFi here but it requires that you log on in order to connect to the internet. I connect to WiFi from my laptop. All good. Then, immediately, my iPhone connects to the same network. But because I haven't logged on from my iPhone, I can't get online. This kills the internet on my iPhone because I'm connected to a network with no internet access. If on my iPhone I "Forget this Network" and then come back next week, I'll find that it connects to the exact same network.
I travel a lot and almost all of the networks I use on a daily basis require a login of some sort.
I could turn off WiFi but then I have to remember to turn it on when I actually do want to connect to a network, like when I'm at home.
Any idea how to prevent the mirroring of WiFi connections? Or at a minimum make sure the "Forget this Network" option actually works? -
My computer can't keep it's connection
Every 5 days my computer loses its connection to the internet while I am on the internet. When this happens I always need to reset my modem. Is there any way I can fix this? By the way I always turn off my computer at night if that changes anything.
How about this question?
When your Mac loses the connection, your Mom's work computer doesn't when both computers are connected at the same time?
Do you have Show Airport Status in Menu Bar selected and if so, when this occurs is the wireless signal lost by your Mac as if your Airport card is turned off - the Airport status in the menu bar is grayed or the signal is still full strength but the internet connection is lost?
Just trying to rule out an Airport card problem and I seem to recall seeing reported Airport connection problems with Intel Macs that Apple is working on but not sure if what I recall seeing applies here. -
How can I keep my MAC connected to a wireless connection?
Hi everyone, every time I shut my MAC book I have then to reconnect it to my wireless as it doesnt recognize it automatically. I have no idea how to set it up in a way that I wont have to do this every single time! does anyone know how to do this by any chance? thanks
By reading the manual it will only work with computers:
- A PC XP and above with Window media player. I think it has to be wired.
- One of the new Macs that support AirPlay.The speakers do not use Bluetooth, only wifi. The following says you can get AIrPlay to work on earlier Macs (and PCs) with third-part programs.

Why can't I connect to my brother MFC-J4510DW printer wirelessly? The printer is connected to the router.
I can surf the web. My wife can print from her PC wirelessly on it.
I wonder if some security setting may be keeping it from connecting to my MacBook Pro. I've installed the software, firmware and driver updates but
it still shows "off line"
with the printer power on. Any suggestions?All I can suggest right now is back up first the try to reset the printing system, (all printers in the list will be removed).
Then connect directly to the printer via ethernet or to the Mac using USB and restart the efforts you have made up until now.
As for router settings, it's possible but not likely that your router only allows a small number of clients. It's also posible that you have MAC address filtering on, lastly are you using the correct wireless protocol, (802.11a/b/g WEP or WPA etc)? -
I can not keep my Ipad 3 sharing with my home connection. I have reset modem, changed firewall settings, etc. Any one have ideas. I am using a Belkin N450 router.
Here is another issue. The Remote works from the IPAD3. But still not Sharing (ie videos, Music, etc)

Can't re-order my queue on Netflix and keep losing the connection
I'm having so much trouble with Netflix! I can't re-order my queue, I keep losing the connection, and it's painfully slow. Is Netflix known to be unstable on iPad? Other internet connecitons seem to be fine.
I rarely have problems on it - I do occasionally have drops in video quality, but nothing consistent. It does require a very strong and stable network connection, and I also wonder if they have periodic "crush time" incidents on their end, considering the rapid growth of Netflix streaming.
Updating the queue is a pain on it - you can't do it on the app, and have to go to their website. I generally find it easier to do on a computer. -
