Constant drop offs

Hi
Our internet drops off every 10 - 20 minutes. All the lights are on, but anything connected loses Internet. The colour of the lights never changes. We can either wait 10 minutes for it to reset itself or we reset it manually - neither are ideal. We have one of the black hubs - homehub2 I think. We've unplugged, reset, changed the filter - anything else we can try?
I raised a fault on Sunday and still haven't heard anything surprise surprise. Raised another call today but not expecting a response. I'm pretty sure the service we are getting isn't normal.
Any suggestions gratefully recieved.
Thanks.

  • Download drop off.

    Hihi,
    Long time lurker, first time post:-)
    I've not seen my problem posted before, so I would be grateful for any help.
    For the last 2 weeks when trying to download large files from Apple and Microsoft (or wherever) I can download between 20 to 90 percent and then the speed will drop to a near standstill. iTunes is kind of similar in that when I purchase an album, 8 of the songs will whizz through but 3 or 4 songs will take 10 minutes each to download.
    Generally for web downloads I might have to retry the download 2 or 3 times and it will come through eventually . This happens during peak and off peak hours. However during peak hours its worse and the overall speed is up and down like a yo-yo and much slower in general. During off peak the speed is at a constant max until it drops off. If I leave the download going (after speed drop) and start another download of the same file it will come through at top speed (unless peak hours were the speed still fluctuates).
    As an example file, this update from the Apple website http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1484 gave me trouble. Even though I have the file I just checked it right now and sure enough after around 200mb the speed dropped to 50 kb/s. And this is at 5am in morning.
    I have done the speed tester at regular intervals as suggested in other posts and all is as expected. Great download (37Mbps) and upload speed (8 Mbps) and a 38.72Mbps profile. 
    I use an Apple Airport Extreme but I have subbed in the HomeHub 3 for a few days to rule out Airport issues and the problem persists. Problem still remains when wired. I have restarted the OR modem. I have also used different computers and made sure only one was connected.
    I will be contacting the mods as well as requested (see StephanieG's post, link below) since my son has Starcraft 2 lag issues between 17.00 and 00.00 which I think might be related to the World of Warcraft issue.

    Could the issues be related?
    Cheers, Shaun.

    Hello lootcod. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Actually, any non-802.11n device on your 802.11n network will be the "weak" link. That includes both the 802.11g AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS), AirPort Express Base Station (AX), or any other client with 802.11b/g.
    In addition, remember each base station added to a WDS, effectively reduces the overall throughput in half...so with a total of three stations (main, relay, & remote), your network throughput would be only 1/4 of the original...at ALL of the stations. As an example, if all of the base stations were 802.11n, the throughput would be around 37.5 Mbps; for 802.11g, 13.5 Mbps.

  • Sky Fibre constant drop out and low speed

    Hi everyone,
    Just recently switched provider from Plusnet fibre to Sky fibre and boy, has it been a stressful few days. First off, our fibre went live on the 6th of this month but these last couple of days I've been experiencing low speeds between 10-20 mb which I understand is meant to be normal (Never had this issue when I joined plusnet) and I have constant drop outs when I'm surfing the net or playing internet games on my Wii U
    I've phoned Sky within the last two days and told them what's going on and they've done some tests on their end and they are telling me that I'm getting speeds up to 41 mb which I'm not getting, but they can't seem to understand why I keep having this drop out issue with my devices and my laptop and my gaming console. They have sent me a new hub, but I personally don't think sending out a new hub will make a difference. I've stuck a a Ethernet cable into my Sky fibre router and attached a openreach router, to the other end and see if that stops the drop out.
    I'm inclined to leave sky, because I have a feeling this poor service will continue, unless someone can help me.
    Thanks

  • Sound drops off when using hdmi outport to connect computer to an AV reciever

    Satellite M640,I5 2410 processor, windows 7HP. After about three minutes the sound drops off when connected to the av reciever through the hdmi outport. If I touch the trackpad the computer reconnects for another three minutes and  then disconnects. If I touch the the trackpad about every two minutes the computer stays connected indefinetly. This problem does not occur if I use the computer to play an audio CD. Any fix suggestions.

  • Since I have downloaded IOS5 on my IPAD and synced to my IMac, Safari keeps dropping off before downloading the website, is slow, also an icon which accessed open safari windows is no longer available.  Apps trouble too.  Help?

    Since I have downloaded IOS5 on my IPAD2 and synced to my IMac, Safari keeps dropping off before site is downloaded and is slow.  There was an icon that showed how many windows were open on Safari and when pressed displayed them, that has disappeared and apps do not always download.  Sometimes by making several/many attempts, it eventually downloads the website or app, but this is not right.  When trying to dowload any lonks from an email, they simply do not open, it keeps going back to the home screen.  Does anybody have any suggestions?  I only bought the IPAD 2 in June! 

    Also the touch screen does not seem to be responding adequately.  Thank you for any help you can give.

  • HP Color LaserJet 1500L - drops off the 802.11n network

    My HP Color LaserJet 1500L drops off the network (it just stops printing). This happens when it is plugged into the usb bus of my new 802.11n base station or directly into the usb bus of a computer. The only way to fix it seems to be to plug it directly into a computer and unplug the usb plug and replug it, or to add the printer again. This problem has occurred in the past, but over time, and after various upgrades to the operating systems and hardware, etc, the situation tends to change. Before I installed the 802.11n base station the printer was staying in contact with my computers, but now it is misbehaving again. I doubt there is a real solution out there now, because it happened before and I never did discover a direct fix, but I thought the problem to be worth posting. This problem does not happen with my Canon PhotoPrinter iP6000S, which sticks to my network like glue whereever I plug it in (airport express, airport extreme, direct to computer, etc.) The HP loses contact with either of my computers in exactly the same way.
    Mac Pro Intel Core 2 Duo, and iMac Intel Core Duo   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   airport express, airport extreme 802.11n, cable modem
    iMac Intel Core Duo   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    To use the OS X standard network protocols (Windows/IP printing), you must have either a postscript printer (the driver in that case is just a ppd for the OS X postscript output) OR, a driver designed to work with CUPS (CUPS driver). HP doesn't provide CUPS drivers for OS X (who knows why, since they do for linux).
    You need to install foomatic and ESP ghostscript:
    http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/foomatic/
    then, install the foo2oak driver:

  • Elements dropping off my files when printed from a PDF

    Please can anyone help... I am running InDesign CS1, I have recently designed a leaflet which included dotted lines for answers to questions.
    To make the dotted lines I used the full stop button (rather than the dotted line option on the line tool). Because the file had an awkward bleed area it was necessary to create a PDF file (using the inDesign PDF export option at High Resolution, no compressions) to lay the document up ready for print.
    However when I printed the document to a networked Colour Copier and to the Platemaking system the lines had mysteriously dropped off... Unfortunately I didn't spot that they weren't on the Platemaker Preview because they hadn't appeared on the Colour Copy (which I use to compare the two for errors) and so a 10,000 print run later and the job was rejected. Does anyone know why this has happened?
    If I print directly from the original InDesign document they show perfectly. If I print the same PDF layup from InDesign CS2 they don't show. Yet if I print from InDesign CS4 they print perfectly from exactly the same file, so I don't think it can be down to the PDF or the typeface (which is standard Helvetica Light).
    I obviously can't afford for this to happen again and it would be good to know if there is something I can do to prevent it... In a perfect world all 3 machines in the office would be running the same version, but in the current financial climate we can't afford to upgrade. I would use CS4 all the time, but for the other two computers which would never be able to open the InDesign files again. It doesn't make sense to me as EVERYTHING was created on the CS1 machine, so I would assume that the machine and software would be able to use it's own programming without issue.
    Thank you for any help you can give me.

    Why are you using the line tool or full stops for this? Use a right indent tab and use a "full stop" in the leader
    http://indesignsecrets.com/tab-leaders-part-1-separating-columns-of-text-with-dots.php
    http://indesignsecrets.com/tab-leaders-part-2-formatting-leaders.php
    I'm not clear on what version of InDesign you are referring to - CS1, CS2, CS4?
    As for why it's not appearing, that is a mystery? Any screenshots ?

  • Sound drops off after 15 minutes after upgrading from windows 7 to Windows 8.1.

    Hi,
    You could download and install the trial version of Photoshop Elements 12.
    For your serial number, try this:-
    Go to Adobe.com and there should be a button to Manage account - click on that and sign in with your Adobe Id.
    Click on View All under Plans & Products
    Click on View other products
    After a short while, you should see your Photoshop Elements appear and you can expand it to see your serial number.
    The serial number can be entered into the trial version to activate it.
    Do you have your catalog and images?

  • AirPlay Speakers drop off iTunes list - help!

    My 4 AirPlay speakers (Bose, JBL, iHome) have worked fine connected by wi-fi to my Netgear WNDR4000 router. I play from iTunes, and also sometimes stream radio directly from my iPhone or iPad.
    I have had some issues with poor wi-fi coverage, so yesterday I up graded to a high end Wireless Access Point, the EnGenius EAP-1750h. This is a 802.1ac dual band high power device - the signal strength is amazing. I have turned off wi-fi on my router completely, and am using the access point for wi-fi connections.
    The issue I am having is that the AIrPlay devices are falling off iTunes after a variable time (minutes to hours). If I click on them in the iTunes airplay list, they disappear and I cannot connect to them. At the same time, the "connected devices"  lists of the access point and the router show that the speakers are still connected. There is NO issue with internet access on any devices. REBOOTING THE ACCESS POINT BRINGS THE DEVICES BACK, until they drop off again.
    I am thinking that perhaps there is a bonjour port that keeps track of the devices that is not making it from the WAP to the router or something - and Apple in its wisdom makes it really hard to find out such info. I am an experienced user, and do not have any gross mistakes in my device configuration; I have read the relevant Apple support documents. I am not an IT tech, however, and I am not familiar with some the advanced settings, particularly of the WAP, which is a high-end business-oriented device.
    All the AirPlay devices are connected on the 2.4Ghz network. The base PC is hardwired by Ethernet to the router. Turning off the 5Ghz band completely and using only a single 2.4Ghz network does not help. All software and firmware of all devices is up to date.
    Does this ring any bell to anyone? I sthere a setting that will fix this?  I love the WAP, but I will have to bring it back if I can't get AirPlay to work! I'm sure it is not a hardware defect issue - it is an Apple AirPlay configuration issue - that's why I am posting here. Help appreciated!!

    Recreating the speakers didn't work for me. I am not sure what the issue could be at this point. Any help would be apreaciated.

  • [JS][CS4/CS5] Images dropping off in scripted pdf export

    I've encounted a bug that I wonder if someone could try to replicate or suggest a workaround of some sort for.
    Some background: we often need to batch-export a number of versioned InDesign files to pdf. These files will often share a lot of content, particularly placed images. We've used Peter Kahrel's export script for this purpose, as well as a number of scripts of my own. The specifics of the script don't seem to be important. I've seen the problem in both CS4 and CS5 on the Mac.
    The problem: Placed Illustrator files (and pdfs) drop off of exported pdfs, without any kind of error being raised, after a user tries to interact with InDesign while it's tied up during a script which opens and exports one file after another. Once an image drops off, it will be missing from every subsequently exported pdf until the script completes. The pdfs are valid—they open and display just fine—they just don't contain all the images they're supposed to. Placed raster images are not affected.
    If anyone cares to try to replicate this for me, the script I used to trigger it was:
    var f = File("/path/to/InDesign/file.indd"),
        d = Folder("/path/to/export/directory"),
        e = 0,
        i = 1000,
        doc, pdf;
    while(e++,i--){
        doc = app.open(f);
        pdf = File(d.fullName + "/" + f.displayName.replace(/\.indd$/,"") + e + ".pdf");
        doc.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE,pdf,false,app.pdfExportPresets.firstItem());
        doc.close(SaveOptions.NO);
    The InDesign file can simply be a single page with any (as far as I know) placed Illustrator file or pdf. I used an .ai file with one black rectangle in the middle of the page.
    After getting the export script going in the ESTK, I Command-Tab over to InDesign. As soon as I try to click on any UI element (which will get me a spinning beach ball), the placed vector image drops off of the exported pdf and stays dropped off until I stop the script.
    While the solution seems simple—don't mess with InDesign while it's batch exporting pdfs—it's easy to forget that it's tied up, and the consequences of an image silently dropping off of an exported pdf could be quite dire.
    Thanks in advance.

    edit: Did file a bug report (5th of december 2012)..
    It is just unbelievable that this bug still exists! absqua, have you filed a bug-report?!
    Easy to reproduce, just launch script and click any toolpanel header while indesign running script..
    test_document.indd includes those black rectangles in linked .ai file.
    Right after InDesign ui-element is clicked, that linked .ai is dropped from rest of exported pdf's.
    #target indesign
    var f = File("~/Desktop/test/doc/test_document.indd"),
        d = Folder("~/Desktop/test"),
        e = 0,
        i = 20,
        pdf;
    while(e++,i--){
              myDoc = app.open(f);
        pdf = File(d + "/" + " test_" + e + ".pdf");
        myDoc.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE,pdf,false,app.pdfExportPresets.firstItem());
              myDoc.close(SaveOptions.NO);
