Constant connection drop - really weird

Since middle of december ive been having a really odd issue with my broadband.  Every so often (several times a day) my internet suddenly 'stalls' and nothing will load...then 20 seconds later my BB light turns orange and then back to blue and my internet works again.  This happens several times a day for no apparent reason and this is the router log from the last 2 minutes when it happened again...

PPP link down (Internet) [123.123.123.123]
Can anyone tell from that what could be going on?
This happens even when only my vision box is connected and nothing else is using the internet so that rules out anything on my PC causing the problem.
The logs included my IP address which I didnt want to make public so I changed it to [123.123.123.123] incase you were wondering why it was like that lol.

I have the same problem at an RAF base in Scotland.
There is one junction box in the block and router aerials in each corridor.
Despite the fact there's a router aerial right outside my room, the WiFi constantly drops out, even at 03:00 or 04:00 ! So not exactly peak time overuse!
Then it won't allow me to log back in again saying "maximum number of sessions reached".
I'm having to write this from my mobile phone, its 3G signal is faster and more reliable than BT Openzone.
It is unacceptable! We are paying BT every month for a service and they are not providing us with what we are paying them for!

  • Stumped about constant connection drops

    I just upgraded from 18 mbs to 45 and have had nothing but continuous connection drops.

  • Constant Connection Drops

    I'm Panther (10.3.9), RCN cable, no wireless, no router.
    My connection drops 5-10-15 times a day. Hitting "renew DHCP lease" brings it back. I work at home and am often up/downloading large graphics files, and this is destroying my productivity.
    I tried calling the RCN tech support line. Nothing useful. They said my connection is fine, and besides don't have anyone on the floor who knows anything about macs. I called Apple tech support. Baffled. They said it might be my ethernet card, but were doubtful.
    As a last resort, I brought my computer to a friend's house and hooked it up to her DSL line with the same ethernet cable. It stayed connected for 10 hours straight. I brought it back to my apartment, and the connection dropped. A tech came by and replaced both the modem and the cable today. Connection STILL DROPS. RCN thinks I'm hallucinating or something and continually denies there may be an issue on their end.
    The service worked perfectly for 2.5 months, and then went splat! I didn't do anything at my end. One day it worked, next it didn't.
    Suggestions? I would get a new ISP, but RCN is the only one that services my building.

    This is exactly the problem that I'm having with my WRT54GS v6.
    Usually it will stay connected to the Internet for days, but once in a while (like yesterday) it constantly loses connection.
    My first indication of trouble is a web page not loading or a game becoming disconnected. Browsing to 192.168.1.1 usually works, where I'll see that the Internet has become disconnected. However, sometimes the router doesn't even respond at all, and I'll have to wait and refresh the page a few seconds later. Clicking the "Connect" button usually works to reconnect to the Internet, but it doesn't always work right away and then I have to try several times.
    When this happens, quite often I'll get reconnected for less than a minute before it disconnects again. I have just time enough to verify that web pages are loading normally, online games can be accessed, etc ... and then its gone again. Suffice it to say that this is extremely frustrating.
    I've seen alternate (lower) MTU values suggested here and in other threads. I'll give that a try for a few weeks and see how things shake out. I think the default was 1500 or 1492 or some such. I'm going to lower mine to 1450, as suggested here, or possibly as low as 1300, as I've seen elsewhere.
    Are there any other useful troubleshooting tips that you would recommend for this type of issue?
    Thanks for your help,
    - Adam.
    Edit: I should mention that yesterday I finally removed the router from the network and connected my computer directly to my modem. The Internet connection has been working without any trouble this way. So it would seem to not be a problem with my ISP or modem, and rather with the router, as I had suspected.Message Edited by Kaspre on 08-28-2006 09:11 AM

  • Wireless Connection drops after a few moments

    Hello everbody!
    Background: I have a cheap laptop with a windows only ACPI module, so I have to set acpi=off at all times anyway. I tried Ubuntu, which has the wireless problem too, but instead of repairing something bloated like Ubuntu, I now found my way to Arch to make it right from the beginning.
    If the wireless problem gets solved, I want to go on installing the nvdia driver, maybe configure xmonad. (I want to try KDE4 for fun too though, eyecandy you know ) Simple working desktop without getting my laptop heated up like windows does.
    The problem: I set up my wireless connection like the wiki says:
    -The original SSID was "FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7270 Annex A" which I tried to escape with \ and using 'ssid'. This wouldn't work at all, if you have any explanation for that I'd love to know it. I changed the SSID to something without spaces and special characters and the connection would work. But it would be nice to change it back to the original.
    -So it works now. Fine, I thought. But the connection drops after a few moments and I have to "killall wpa_supplicant dhcpcd" and start them again to make it work again. For a few moments only. So I went through the logfiles and found error messages which Google wouldn't help me solve on my own. Now I'm asking the Arch specialists here
    Note: Using the partedmagic livecd, the wireless connection works out of the box and absolutely stable. I believe even a bit faster than under windows. So it has to work perfectly, I just don't know how to make it in Arch yet.

    Thanks in advance to anyone helping me! I really really want to get Arch going. It's ideal for this laptop, no wasting of disk space, ressource friendly, the temperature doesn't go up as much with less cpu usage I guess..
    I've written quite a bit, but hopefully this makes it easier for you to help me! I've included all I thought which could be useful.
    Greetings from Germany,

    The easiest solution might be to setup NetCfg somehow with your wifi card and access point.  Have you tried that?  Can you find your card's chipset on the wiki?(chances are that your particular chipset will need a firmware put into /lib/firmware.  Again that's found on the wiki on the NetCfg or Wifi page, I forget which sorry.)  Those are two places where I'd look for good information.
    By the way, your rc.conf is way out of date.  You should look at updating it by using the recent rc.conf.pacnew file that you'll find in the /etc directory.

  • IChat connection dropped intermittently

    Hi all,
    Every now and then my iChat connection is suddenly dropped—it just disconnects me and reconnects me without any error message or other indication of what's wrong. The strange thing is, while I see myself as being offline for only a handful of seconds, the person I'm chatting with typically informs me that I'd been offline for five or ten minutes. Thus, I can't be sure if I'm really still online during a lull in the conversation; sometimes I'll send myself a message and get no reply, so I log off and back on and it works again.
    I've tried using Adium to see if this is just an iChat problem. Whereas the connection usually gets dropped on a fairly regular basis with iChat (every half hour or so), I maintained a constant connection for 4.5 hours recently with Adium, but earlier today Adium dropped me after about 20 minutes.
    I've already configured these programs and my wireless router to connect using port 443. I'm using a DI-624 wireless router and a Motorola cable modem provided by Charter. I've been using all the same hardware for much longer than I've been experiencing this problem, though. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
    Thanks!
    15" 1GHz G4 Powerbook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Hi Alan,
    Does the D-Link DL-624 for UPnP active ?
    This device has suspect UPnP and should not use it.

  • My iMac is acting really weird lately....

    So I got my iMac in 2008 I think. Around that time. So sometimes it's slow but it still works fine... Initially I had 1 GB of RAM and last year I got 3 more so now I have 4GB of RAM. (I don't know whether this may be related to my problem but I thought I'd mention it) My iMac has been acting unusually weird for a week or so. It starts up soo slow, it takes about 7 minutes. Yesterday it started up just fine though.... Today I wanted to start it up and I got to the desktop screen but the little applications on the top bar (the wifi, volume, language preference, caffeine etc) wouldn't all load (just a few of them were there)... and then I got the spinning wheel.... which wouldn't stop spinning... so I shut it down because nothing would work and I started it up again. No luck. I tried again and this time I was stuck for 15 minutes at the grey apple logo thing before I got to the desktop screen... Also, I have an app called Caffeine. A few days ago it disappeared from my top bar without having done anything... I use it so that the desktop doesn't go into sleep mode/screensaver mode... so I noticed the screen saver and I thought it was weird because I haven't had screen savers for years. The first time it started to act strange was a week ago, when I started the iMac and it told me to enter my apple ID and password - but I never logged out of it! This happened multiple times. Once, I entered everything correctly and it told me that it was incorrect. When I restarted, it got me right into my apple ID.. Also Chrome was asking me for a password for 'local items' - which is really weird because I never had something like that. Or at least never seen that before..... I also searched for viruses and repaired some permissions but it didn't change much... now it doesn't ask me to log into my apple ID anymore but it takes so long to start up... But once it's finished starting up it works flawlessly. I'm really worried. What's happening to my iMac?

    Do the following:
    Repair the hard drive and permissions using Disk Utility.
    Backup your files to an external drive.
    Boot from your installer DVD.
    Erase the hard drive.
    Reinstall Snow Leopard.
    Upgrade Snow Leopard to 10.6.8.
    Reinstall any third-party software from original media.
    Restore your data files.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    Drive Partition and Format
    1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. After formatting is finished quit Disk Utility and return to the installer. Complete Snow Leopard installation.
    5. Download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8
    The easiest way to do the backup step is to connect a formatted, empty hard drive of the same capacity or greater than your internal drive. Clone the internal drive to it.
    Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
      1. Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder.
      2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
      3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
      4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag
           it to the Destination entry field.
      5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
          the Source entry field.
      6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.

  • Connection drop iMac to Apple TV - OSX Lion

    Hello.
    Hope someone might have a solution. Ever since i changed to OSX Lion i have had a really irritating bug with my Wifi. While browsing, downloading and doing everyday stuff my connection is fine.
    However when streaming movies and tv-shows to my Apple TV (2nd) i have been getting som nasty connection drops. Its not always but to often to be anoying since i havnt had this problem before.
    Scenario: I can start a movie and watch almost an hour when all of a sudden the connection drops on my iMac Late 2009 - OSX Lion 10.7.3. Everytime this happens my Wifi icon turns gray and i need to shut the Wifi off and turn it on again and all works. But once it has started the connection drops every 10 min or so and i need to reboot the machine to be able to watch the movie like "normal".
    The connection between my Airport Express and the Apple TV is no problem and works flawless but my Mac cant seem to handle the "heat". I didnt have this issue on SL so im a bit bugged about it.
    RSSI: -45
    SPEED: 130
    This is what ive tried.
    1. Repair the permissions thru the OS, and the Command and R at start up, including the "resetpassword" thing.
    2. Update firmware on my Aiport Express and downgraded since it just got worse.
    3. Updated the airport utility, but needed to install back the old one since the new for Lion doesnt support the switch between 2.4 and 5.0 band.
    4. Reset PRAM
    5. Reset SMC
    6. Rebuild the connection by deleteing and resetting the router.
    7. Done some cleanup with OnyX.
    Now im out of ideas since nothing seem to work and i hate that i have all this Apple gear for thousands of dollars and the f**** Wifi ruins everything.
    Anyone?
    Cheers
    Chris

    I have the same issue

  • BT Infinity Connection Dropping but BT refuse to a...

    Hi,
    So in September we got BT Infinity. It was a hassle and handled terribly by BT customer service but we eventually got it. It's been working fine for around five months but within the last few weeks we have been having connection issues.
    Over Easter I have spent over 10 hours on the phone to BT via my landline and mobile trying to get a solution, but all I have got is a repeated denial of my problems.
    On the 27th March I called BT to report that our connection had been repeatedly dropping over the past few weeks and a fault was opened. I was told I would be updated but no-one called back despite promises they would do.
    I called BT on the 28th March to follow up my issues but was met with an advisor who lacked knowledge in the issue and simply told me to continue monitoring my connection.
    I called BT on the 3rd April as there had been no improvement in my connection, which is dropping multiple times per day, and on this day 7 times. After going through the same repetitive questioning session about how I connect to the internet, a deep line test was run, and it was decisively concluded that there was a fault with the line within BT's retail servers. I was told this would be followed up and promised a call back on the 4th April.
    After I had not received a call back on the 4th April within the time allocated to me, I called BT where I was met with an awfully rude woman who had no interest in helping me and went on to suggest what I was saying was an outright lie and she categorically stated there had been no call back booked despite me having the text in front of me which confirmed it.
    After being told to 'continue monitoring my line', a slightly repetitive phrase favoured by BT Customer Service, I called back as instructed on the 8th April. Again, I went through a repetitive process before finally making some sort of progress and being sent a new home hub.
    My new home hub arrived on the 11th April and made no difference to my problem. I therefore called BT and spoke to an advisor who told me he could only assume the Home Hub was sent in error, as he was absolutely adamant it would make absolutely no difference to my situation. I was told to 'continue monitoring my connection' over the next few days but before he ended the call I asked him a number of questions, none of which were adequately answered.
    Why is our connection dropping? Rather than giving me an explanation as to why it is dropping, he told me that we are lucky it only drops a few times a day! He said 'everyone in the world suffers from a connection which drops multiple times per day' and that 'there is absolutely nothing we can do because there is no problem'. He told me about rate-adaptive lines, which according to him 'are used by every household in the world' and that these lines 'inevitably drop out up to five times a day, which is normal and acceptable'.
    So how many times can it drop before it's considered a fault? The basic answer I received is that there is no limit! It doesn't matter how many times it drops, it absolutely normal! Only if it drops '20-30+ times per day' is it considered a problem worth solving to BT.
    Why do you never call back (in particular, why did no-one call back on the 4th April, and why did an advisor accuse me of lying about the call back)? They said that when the issue is escalated from Level 1 to Level 2, it is impossible to see any contact between the customer and Level 1, so when the call back wasn't arranged as it should've been, there was no way BT could've known. He apologised for this and the way I was treated by his colleague.
    Why was a fault reported on the 3rd April? Why have I not been updated since? Simple answer from BT. There probably was no fault, that was probably also incorrectly opened. Note the key word probably. The advisor I talked to said he had no idea what happened in any of my previous calls and that there was no way he could find out why the fault was opened, or listen to the call (despite all calls being recorded). He said it was impossible for Level 2 to hear the content of any calls made with Level 1 and that it was 'impossible for an advisor to take notes for a call lasting more than half an hour'.
    I recieved a call back today on my mobile where I was told just to continue monitoring the fault. However I was also told, again, quite categorically, that there is nothing wrong and that he would happily send an engineer in three days but that 'he would be able to do absolutely nothing. It would be a waste of time'. The advisor also refused to give any details on how much this would cost and was desperate to end the call saying 'goodbye' despite me being mid sentence multiple times.
    I have now been told to 'continue monitoring my connection' and await another call back on Friday, by which point I will have wasted many more hours on the phone to BT.
    Your customer service is disgusting. Your lack of compassion and understanding is disgusting. The way you totally mislead customers is disgusting.
    And now for my top BT Operator quotes (or near quotes, as obviously no-one has any idea what was said in these calls, not even BT!):
    "If your temperature raised to 100 degrees celcius but then went back to normal, there would be no problem, it's the same with broadband"
    "Everyone in the world has a rate-adaptive line and everyone in the world should expect their line to drop"
    "If your line only drops 5 or 6 times a day there is no problem, you obviously should've known this before you signed up for Infinity"
    "There definitely is a fault.... there definitely isn't a fault" - the trademark conclusiveness of BT
    "We can limit the speed on the phone line, but it would have to be to 1mb" - this is despite absolutely contradictory help published by BT
    But despite these humorous moments, I have wasted a huge amount of time on the phone to BT.
    I have one simple demand. Stop the broadband from dropping multiple times per day. If you cannot do this, let us leave, as you are not meeting your contractual obligations and therefore we shouldn't have to either.
    And please... don't apologise for your colleague not calling back in the first minute of the phone call and then not call back.

    Hi Bryan,
    Like yourself and many, many other people who come to these forums - I have been experiencing the same problems. Constant disconnections, and recently, speed dropping to 4Mb in the Evenings (I'm supposed to be getting 74Mb).
    It's ridiculous with how many people are experiencing these problems and BT are blatently ignoring it. To add insult to injury, this was posted in February. A statement from BT basically saying "Well you're all gonna be having problems, but it's on you."
    Don't fret though, the moderators, and other people from the community can be fantastic help.
    Purchasing an Openreach modem, suggested by ray_dorset, I'll still be awaiting for the Huawei 612, V3b modem to arrive and hoping this will fix the drops in speed. I currently have an ECI modem fitted in, which has stopped the disconnects, but have not stopped the speed drops.
    For anyone reading this who is unfamiliar with modems as I was:
    As far as I know, there's currently two types of Openreach Modems. Every exchange is built with a certain "chipset" which will work best with these modems (explaining in simplistic terms and I could be very wrong, so I am happy to be corrected.)
    The Two Openreach Modems:
    Huawei 614
    ECI
    From the advice I have been given by the moderators, if you're new to BT Infinity, then your exchange may have only recently been built, which is then most likely to have a chipset which will work better with Huawei modems. I'm about to find out this by next week.
    If, in some horrible scenario it doesn't work and the speed is still constantly dropping, then you may need to fork out and purchase a new router (BUT KEEP THE MODEM). Many people have said their internet has been fixed by doing this.
    One of the things I did find pretty hillarious however, is that I did call up BT the other night due to having terrible connections. He told me to take out my modem and just use the home hub 5. He then kept telling me to change a few settings on the HH5 and run a speedtest. Every, single, time we changed something - the speed would get lower and lower, followed by an "Uhhh, monitor your speed over the course of this week and then we'll call you back."
    I'm sorry, but BT customer service have no idea how to fix this, so don't waste your time ringing them. I genuinely feel bad for them too, they have to put up with our **bleep** while the engineers at BT who work on the firmware for the HH5 can't be arsed to try and fix it any further.
    Seriously, mate - just try the steps above, come to the forums if you need help because you're more than likely to get a better answer. I know it sucks not being able to call up BT because they're just going to give you a bunch of BS, but if everyone who had a complaint on this forum worked for BT tech support, maybe there'd be more satisfied customers.

  • Mac OS X lion 10.7.3 Wi-Fi connection Drop Issue

    Hi All,
      I've iMAC OS X Lion 10.7.3 latest version desktop. For couple of months, I'm dealing with dropping wi-fi connection during working. I've look at all the forums and discussions and tried many things to solve the issuse, however, issue still exist.
       Every a few minutes, even during surfing though internet pages, wi-fi connection drops. When you look at the signal level etc.. everything is seems to be fine, but it is not possible to connect internet after close-open wi-fi.
       For a while, connection drop happens again.
       I do not understand why Apple does not give a fix for this while most the customer having such an issue.
      Any one having any idea how to solve this ?
    Regards
    Gokcer

    I have a similar problem.  My Macbook Pro won't keep a constant wi-fi connection, becuase it continues to seek alternative networks even after locking onto a strong signal.  I've reset preferences and started from scratch with all the settings and let the Mac set them by itself, but still it does the seeking.  At home I used to have a direct LAN into my Airport Extreme, but now I use wi-fi on 4G/LTE and I've tried the computer with and without the Airport Extreme, with and without a Cradlepoint, and with various channels and security levels. 
    As has been document probably hundreds of times in these forums, Macbook Pros (my model) and some other Macs have had this issue from either 10.7.2 or 10.7.3 (I've got 10.7.4 right now).  I'm glad you found a solution to your problem, but for the hundreds or thousands of us who've had this problem since last August with no solution from Apple, it's quite frustrating.  I know it's not politically correct to blame the computer when it's been given a defective upgrade with Lion, but let's call it what it is.  I'll side with the numbers.  Either a sudden batch of defective routers showed up from Taiwan, and a group of late 2008 and 2009 Macbook Pros bought them all en masse, or it's the software. 
    So if you still have problems after you get a clear signal, start sending messages to Apple to get it fixed for all of us.  I bring this up for you as an alternative, as I noticed you were running 10.7.3, and the problems started somewhere around 10.7.2 or 10.7.3.  Something to keep an eye on. 

  • Connection drops with arch64 and atheros wireless

    Hi, I've just installed arch64 on my desktop. I have a dlink dwa-556 wireless adapter, with atheros chipset. The card is seen correctly and has been configured. I started a kdemod install with pacman, went on for about an hour, and then it hung, the wireless connection dropped... I tried to start it up again, but only a reboot could help... now I started pacman again and after some minutes bang! connection dropped again...
    this is what iwconfig says
    wlan0 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:CUT
    Mode:Managed Frequency:2.432 GHz Access Point: Not Associated
    Tx-Power27dBm
    [cut]
    Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0
    [rest is all 0]
    iwlist says my router has a quality of 30-40/100 and a signal level of around -76dBm
    any help?

    I think I may be experiencing something similar. I'm also running Arch64 and have the exact same adapter (DWA-556) and every once in a while my wireless connection drops. It only happens once every few days or so, but whenever it happens on my system it seems to cause anything Xorg-related (mouse, keyboard, video) to respond slowly. If I move the mouse around it doesn't move smoothly - it kind of jerks and jumps around.
    Whenever the connection drops like this, I see the something like the following in /var/log/messages.log:
    Feb 16 17:07:26 blacktower dhcpcd[19326]: ath0: carrier lost
    The first couple of times this happened to me, I had to reboot to get the connection going again. I did find another way to get the connection working, though. What I did was unload the modules related to the wireless adapter, reload them, and then reconnect to the network. I wrote a quick shell script to do this for me, which looks like this:
    #!/bin/sh
    sudo rmmod ath_pci ath_rate_sample ath_hal
    sudo modprobe ath_pci
    sudo modprobe ath_hal
    sudo netcfg -d home
    sudo netcfg home
    I'm using the madwifi driver right now and as you can see, I use netcfg to connect to my wireless network here. I've tried the ath5k driver but I seem to have the same issue with that. I haven't really found a solution to this yet, but the workaround of removing the modules, reloading them, and then reconnecting has worked well enough so far. If I dig up anything else helpful on this, I'll be glad to post it here.

  • Airport connection dropping off when computer sleeps

    Starting with the latest 10.4.8 update my airport connection drops when the computer goes to sleep. No amount of configuring will get the computer to recognize my airport. Turning off the power to the airport, waiting, and re-connecting does no good. The only way to get wireless is to restart. Once restarted the airport connection is re-established without any configuration and continues to be fine until the computer goes to sleep. Hard wiring ethernet works at all times without problems.

    thanks,
    i read the doc, looked in the system prefs where my re-connect was set to "preferred" and there was only one wpa network listed. i deleted it from the list then re-added per the apple document. will see if this works.
    in my own mind i don't think this is the solution but am keeping an open mind. the weird thing about my situation is that after the computer sleeps there are no available networks under the airport menu. i know in fact there are 4-6 in my area. after restarting the 4-6, including mine, networks are all there and my network has been connected to.

  • Wireless connection drops - T500

    I just purchased a T500 couple days back. My wireless card turns off automatically like after a couple of hours or so. It wont work again without a restart. I uninstalled and reinstalled Access Connection, but it still did not help. I am running Windows Vista. I also tried disabling the "switch off wireless card to save power" in the wireless card properties. That did not work either. I have a Intel Wifi Link 5300 card. When the connection drops, i try to search, and i cannot find any other wireless connection in the area. Any help would be really appreciated as it is annoying when the internet goes off every now and then, and you have to restart. I have other laptops connected to the network as well, and they don have any issues connecting to the wireless network.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    I am running XP Pro, 2002 edition with SP3 on an X200, 4Gb ram, 160gb HD, , with Intel WiFi Link 5300, and I have the same issue as described above. The connection will drop after approx 2 hours. Any program running on the computer will continue working okay, but the wireless connection stops responding.
    Trying to right click on the taskbar wireless connection icon doesnt show the usual dialog.
    The 'networks' folder on control panel opens okay, but trying to disable the wireless adaptor from there, does not return a positive answer, the system just doesnt return anything. While this happens, once again, every other function in the computer works correctly. After rebooting the computer, the wireless adaptor is not enabled.
    I also noticed that the issue propagates to the wired network connection. Once the wireless adaptor stops working, the wired adaptor does not provide connectivity either. This might signal the Lenovo 'Access Connection' software might be to blame.
    I tried to prevent Access Connections to manage the connections, without actually uninstalling, and the freeze continues. 
    I will install the newer driver from intel's website, to see if it helps.

  • Wireless connection drops sporadically

    I have a Linksys router that wirelessly connects my iBook G4 and my roommate's G4 tower. It also connects to my G4 tower, but that's a wired connection.
    I used to use a Linksys Wireless-B (2.4 ghz 802.11b), but it broke and now I have a Wireless-G. But, both router's gave me the exact same problem. Sporadically, the wireless connection just drops for about 5 or 6 seconds. I haven't seen any pattern, as far as how often it occurs, and I can't for the life of me figure out why it's happening.
    I was told that it might be interference, so I changed the channel to 11, and everything seemed to work great for about 3 or 4 days. Then, it started happening again. I switched to channel 1, and that didn't help. I switched to a different channel, again no help. Now I'm back on 11, and it's still dropping off sporadically.
    I'm pretty sure this never happens to the wired connection, but I don't use that computer very often. Any suggestions? This has been going on for months, and I don't have the faintest idea how to fix it!

    I am with you Joel.
    I recently purchased a G5 iMac with built-in AirPort and I am having the same problem. Yes I have a cordless phone in the house and it could be interfering, but I also have a Windows laptop (I know, I know...Booo) which is on the same wireless network and it has no trouble communicating. I have tried different channels on my router and the Mac works for awhile, but then the connection starts and stops.
    I was hoping the latest firmware updates for AirPort would have one for the Extreme card, but no go.
    I haven't yet sat the wireless router right next to the computer to see if that cures the "interference", but that is the next step in my troubleshooting. If the pulsing internet stops pulsating and I get a constant connection I will believe all the interference rhetoric, but until then I am sceptical.
    Note: I also tried the "Interference Robustness" setting and that just made it worse. There doesn't seem to be much help on that setting so I have abandoned it. Any insight from anyone on that setting?

    with that type of config. you have? you should not have any problems.
    especially with the intervideo program 'cause it captures in mpg and it is a very loose coding (better said no coding at all)
    try turning the ht off through bios
    or try this prog.

  • My connection drops frequently; started happening recently.

    My connection drops frequently; started happening recently. Don't know why. The green light does not go off nor does my computer say I am not connected, but web pages do not load, and either takes a restart, or 5 minutes of waiting.

    I'm having the exact same problem - I have an Extreme 4th Gen and the networked harddisk (my fileserver) keeps dropping off and getting disconnected...really very annoying!
    Airport Update 7.6 seems to be the culprit - I backed it down to 7.5.2 and it stopped disconnecting but the incessant update notifications (pop-up Airport dialog, blinking green light on the device) and concerns about security moved me back to 7.6.
    I wish Apple do something about this.
