Can't Stay Connected to WIFI with brand new MBA

I just set up my new MBA, and cannot stay connected to wifi, no matter what I do. Sitting next to my MBA is my IPAD and IPhone which both show wifi connection working. I have followed the advice from the community posted in August ( wish I knew the MBA wifi problem before buying), with no luck. No other devices shows wifi connectivity problems, router works great, and I cannot download any patches due to connectivity issue.  UGH.  Any wisdom to share?
Thanks

Have you tried connecting to other WiFi connections? If so does it do the same?
If not, it might just be to do with the amount of periphirals on your current router and subsequently your router is kicking off you iPhone.
Or you could try changing your broadcasting channel in your internet router settings and see if this fixes it

  • Can't Stay Connected to Wifi

    I have no idea what's going on. Wifi works fine for my laptop and iMac, at full strength. On my iPhone 4S, the WiFi randomly disconnects and goes back to 3G every five minutes or so. Plus, it is NEVER at full strength. It is using the same settings with static IPs. What do I do?

  • Why can't i connect to wifi with my iPhone 6

    I tried to connect to my WiFi at home but my iPhone 6 keeps saying its incorrect password, even though I typed everything correctly and my caps lock is not on.. I tried to reset network setting and restarting my phone and my internet modem, but it still won't connect me to the internet... Help!

  • How can I get data (not wifi) with my new iPad in Iceland. Thanks

    How? If I can can't find a wifi spot?

    I assume that you need to find a cellular provider for your iPad. See if this is what you need.

    does this only happen at your home network or with multiple networks?

    Hi ..
    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
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    You may have to re enter your Wi-Fi password.
    If nothing above has helped, try here >  iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

  • If I'm connected in wifi with my Macbook, can I share the internet with Iphone? Thanks

    If I'm connected in wifi with my Macbook, can I share the internet with Iphone? Thanks

    If you are asking about the Internet Sharing feature on the Mac, the answer would be that this option is not available for normal wireless, but it might work for BlueTooth.  Might be worth a try that way.
    However, if the Mac had an Ethernet Internet connection, then you could create your own "private" wireless network to allow wireless devices to connect.

  • HELP!!! CAN'T STAY CONNECT WITH 54GS

    I recently did a clean install and installed my wireless router again.   I can't stay connected using this.  I can very rarely get online for a minute or two.  I have spent many hours on the phone with Linksys and they can't seem to figure it out.   I had no connection problems before the clean install.  Are we missing something?  When I connected this computer to the main router I had no trouble staying online.  I hope someone can help me with this. 

    Are you facing problem on wired as well as wireless connection??
     Check the configuration once again .... if required upgrade .... download the latest firmware from linksys website .... ...after upgrade reset & reconfigure the router ...
    Observe the connection now ....hope it will work,......

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • I can't connect to wifi with iPhone5. Does anyone knows why? and what to do?

    I can't connect to wifi with iPhone5. Does anyone knows why? and what to do?
    Thank you.

    The Holy Mecha of Wifi
    Turn router off then on Try turning your wireless router off then back on.
    Change or turn off wireless security You may want to try toggling the settings on your wireless router, switching from WPA to WEP or vice versa, or, as a last resort, turning wireless security off altogether. For AirPort routers, this can be accomplished with the AirPort Admin Utility. For other routers, this can usually be accomplished by accessing the router’s configuration page — open a browser and enter the address 192.168.1.1.
    Reset network settings on iPad. On your iPad, open Settings, then navigate to “General” in the left-hand pane. Scroll down and tap Reset, then select “Reset Network Settings.” This will delete any stored WiFi passwords and other information, but may result in a more stable connection.
    Adjust brightness upward. Oddly, a number of users have found that they can resolve this issue by simply adjusting the iPad’s brightness level upward and off the lowest setting. To do this, tap Settings, then select “Brightness & Wallpaper” from the left-hand pane. Slide the brightness bar upward, then wait 1-2 minutes and check for an improvement in signal strength. Speculation holds that a power delivery issue associated with the screen brightness affects Wi-Fi.
    Change thresholds in router settings. Access your routers configuration screen (for most routers, open a browser and enter the address 192.168.1.1), then change the fragmentation threshold and the CTS/RTS threshold as described here. Some users have found success with the settings Fragmentation= 2048, RTS = 512.
    Change 802.11 spec on router. Try changing your router’s wireless spec mode from B, G and N to G only or vice versa. For AirPort routers, this can be accomplished with the AirPort Admin Utility. For other routers, this can usually be accomplished by accessing the router’s configuration page — open a browser and enter the address 192.168.1.1.
    Switch routers. Although a far-from-ideal solution, some users have found success with switching to a different wireless router.
    Turn off “Ask to Join Networks.” To do so, tap Settings on your iPad, then select “Wi-Fi” from the left-hand pane. Slide “Ask to Join Networks” to off. Speculation holds that leaving this option on causes the iPad to constantly seek networks, resulting in some type of interference with the network to which it is connected.
    Forget network then rejoin. Tap Settings on your iPad, then select Wi-Fi from the left-hand pane. Choose the network with which you are experiencing difficulty, then select “Forget this network.” Go back to the previous screen and rejoin the network.
    Turn off Bluetooth. Some users report that, perhaps due to interference issues, turning off Bluetooth can boost Wi-Fi signal strength. To do so, tap Settings then tap General in the left-hand pane. Tap Bluetooth in the right-hand pane, then slide to off.

  • IPhone won't stay connected to Wifi....period

    I have to start a new discussion because I cannot find the answer anywhere else. I wanted to give this a shot before I go to Apple/Verizon and/or go back to my Droid.
    My iPhone 4S will not stay connected to wifi at all. I can connect no problem, and then once the screen shuts off or I move the phone the wrong way it disconnects itself.
    I've done everything I could to try and remedy this, I reset the network settings twice, restored my phone three times, and reboot my wireless modem countless times. My wireless settings are fine, I can't figure out what else to do. This is getting rediculous.

    If this is happening after you've restored your phone as new and with every wifi network you connect to, it's a hardware issue. The phone needs to be replaced

  • IPhone 4S won't stay connected to wifi

    iPhone 4S won't stay connected to wifi? Fix?

    i have a similar problem except i've a 3GS.  i took the phone to the "Genius Bar" and the "Geniuses" there did nothing more than clean out the lint that had accumulated over the past three years.
    here's the link to my thread:  https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3947285
    I've done everything possible with the phone and my router at home (though, as you can tell from reading what i've done, anything related to my router at home is moot because th eissue persists anywhere i go...)  all i can think is that it's a OS issue some how.  I may try to wipe and install an older OS or jail break it to see what happens.
    My bets are on what people have said to me though in passing:  this is Apple's way of making people want to move onto the iPhive (name trademarked by me!) due to frustrations with their iPhour or iPhthree (that doesn't work so well does it...).

  • Is anyone else having issues staying connected to WiFi at home?

    Is anyone else having issues with their Iphone5 staying connected to WiFi.  I connect at home to my WiFi and within 5-10 minutes I have been disconnected and having to reconnect once again.  Thanks!

    I'm having problems finding my wifi in my house when my iPhone 3g's wifi was better. Now my iPhone 5 can't even scratch the surface of finding it.

  • Retina macbook pro can't auto connect to wifi after wifi router rebooted

    My macbook pro with retina can’t automatically connect to wifi after the wifi router was rebooted. There is exclamation mark on wifi sign. As I clicked the wifi sign, it shows no Internet connects. However, It is strange there is a tick in front of my wifi name. In order to use wifi, I had to click off wifi, and then click on. The previous version, Macbook pro, has no problem like this. I had deleted all files under wifi library, but still fail. Appreciating for any way to solve it!
