Constant wifi dropouts

Since updating to ios6 on an iPhone 4 I am having constant wi-fi dropouts. Definitely the phone - all other devices carry on quite happly. Stopping and starting wifi flushes the problem, but it is happening several times a day and is quite tiresome.
Any idea for a permanent fix?

Switching security on my router from WPA2 to WPA seems to provide a (not at all satisfactory) workaround.

Dirty solution to Wifi dropouts 10.5.3/10.5.4

*Before reading* any further, please mention these statements:
*- Fixing issue's using previous Mac OS X builds can be very risky (use this tip at your own risk!)*
*- You're about to re-open security flaws that were (originally) solved by a recent update in 10.5.3/10.5.4*
*- There's probably a better solution to execute the fix and install the kext files... So please add your comments!*
Ok, so I was one of the many people around the forums who had Airport problems. My symptoms: Wifi was fine until I updated to Mac OS X 10.5.3. Constant wifi dropouts and 'Beacons Lost' in the Console... I've tried many options in these forums, without any succes... so I tried some dirty fix myself.
Preparations:
1) Backup your system!
2) Download 10.5.2 Combo Update (you will probably have to download this from another working/wired system and burn it to a cd. I did.)
3) Download 10.5.4 Combo Update
4) Download Pacifist (http://www.charlessoft.com/)
Go to /System/Library/Extensions and locate the IO80211Family.kext folder.
5) Backup this folder to another location. Name it something like '1054Wifi'
6) Open up the 10.5.2 Combo Update, but do NOT install it (or try it ;)). You will need the new mounted disk.
7) Install the pacifist programme and run it. Take some time and press 'Not yet' to continue...
8) Open the 10.5.2 package and locate /System/Library/Extensions/IO80211Family.kext
9) Extract these folder to your system at the exact same location
10) Run your Disk Utility (Programmes/Utilities) and 'Repair Disk Permissions'
11) Reboot
This worked for me. No wifi dropouts anymore!
When apple finally fixes this bug do not forget to run the 10.5.4 Combo Update or try above dirty solution using the 10.5.4 Combo update before updating to the next version (10.5.5?).
Please add some comments to this post! Good luck.

Please note that by doing this you will not only reopen some security holes fixed by recent updates, but also that it is likely the 10.5.4 and future updates will not properly update the AirPort drivers, as simply replacing a kernel extension will confuse the system.
For that matter it's also likely to have other subtle side effects on the system that no one - Apple or anyone else - has tested for.
I understand your frustration and your desire to find a solution that works for you, but do realize there are major caveats to doing so.

The annoying wifi dropout problem. I bought it just a week ago!!!!

Hello. I bought a macbook pro 13 retina a week ago and I get constant wifi dropouts. Every time I need to either turn off and on wifi or use network diagnostics (which shows the ISP and other ticks below it in red). I currently run OS mavericks 10.7.5 but the problem existed with previous 10.7.4 as well. It happens very randomly and not necessarily when system goes to sleep. I have completely reinstalled OS once but the problem still persists. I also tried removing the wifi stuff from keychain and network but none worked. In fact I get full wifi signal without any noise (when you open up wireless diagnostics and click cmd+2, u go to utilities and via performance tab you can see the signal and noise graph over time, which is always consistent for me. No signal drop and no noise at all, even when wifi completely disconnects, no changes can be seen in the diagram). If it helps, I also pinged a website several times and rarely saw any packet loss or timeout, but immediately when wifi is lost you see the corresponding error in the ping: No route to host. One more thing: whenever I try to put TCP/IP on manual or using DHCP with manual address I completely lose the connection which is also visible in the menu bar where it shows a question mark. So any ideas?

The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

After update to 10.9.1. wifi dropouts

hi,
after updating to 10.9.1. experiencing frequent wifi dropouts. so far used 5GHz and experienced the dropouts (router: linksys ea4200). currently using 2.4GHz so far without dropout. but also speed slowed down significantly.
anyone experiencing similar problems?

I think the problem is due to incompatibility with your dreadful Linksys router, but you can try the following steps. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Take all the applicable steps in this support article. If you're running OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and take the remedial steps suggested in the summary that appears, if any. The program also generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
Step 2
Run Software Update and install all available updates for OS X or your computer's firmware.
Step 3
If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. Continue if you find that Wi-Fi is faster with Bluetooth disabled.
From that same menu, select Open Bluetooth Preferences. If the box labeled Discoverable is checked, uncheck it. Click the Advanced button, and in the sheet that opens, uncheck the top three boxes, if any are checked. Click OK. Enable Bluetooth and test again.
If the application called "Bluetooth Setup Assistant" is running, quit it. Note: this is not applicable to OS X 10.9 or later.
Step 4
This step will erase all your settings in the Network preference pane. Make a note of them before you begin, and recreate them afterwards. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the preference pane.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "SystemConfiguration" selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 5
Reset the System Management Controller.
Step 6
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional — ask if you need guidance.
If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.

Ios 8 wifi dropout

ios 8 wifi dropout

I have been having network dropout issues for about 6 weeks now. I run a wireless LED lighting display utilizing a number of WiFi bridges.
They have been constantly dropping off the network at random times. I have changing 2 routers and 8 bridges with no result.
To cut a long story short 2 days ago I realized it was my new phone that was the culprit, or more specifically iOS 8. This problem also manifests itself in my iPad mini also running iOS 8. The dropouts never happen in both devices at the same time.!!! After reading the numerous complaints from hundreds of people online regarding this problem, I decided to follow some of their recommendations by resetting network settings, then resetting ALL settings but to no avail. I took the phone to the local Apple shop yesterday, they did a hardware check and said that was ok. They said the last resort is to do a complete reset and wipe, and if that doesn't resolve the problem they will replace the handset. In the end that didn't work, so I took it back and was duly given a new handset. When I initially set it up I did notice an overall improvement in performance, things just worked better. The lighting bridges were there and working. Then after about 4 hours the old problem came back. So I'm now resigned to the fact that I'm just going to have to wait till Apple addresses the problem in the software [or maybe firmware??]
PS Having said all that, I just looked at your comment regarding the iOS version and the new phone actually has 8.1.1 I checked the update status and 8.1.2 is available so I will download that and see what happens. In your message you said 8.0.2 Is that correct ??

Lion upgrade and wifi dropout

GX70 Wifi dropouts

Saw the sticky for GS70 wifi dropouts, having the same problem with my GX70.
Does the same fix apply or is there something else I need to check, basically it drops out almost at regular intervals, 3-4 hours or so. Easy enough to reconnect but it happens during gaming which is annoying.

Have you tried to update the latest WLAN dirver?
Which version are you using now?
Unless you're also having an Intel ac wireless adapter, or I don't think the fix will work on your GX70.

MacBook Pro 15" & Lion 10.7.3 wifi dropout

Hi
My MacBook Pro 15" bought in mid 2009. I experienced serious wifi dropout problem recently. Actually my wifi dropout happens almost every few minutes. What the change I made recently was upgrading operating system to Lion operating system and fibre - wifi. I am not sure whether it's hardware problem or operating system bugs. I have tried to tether my iPhone 4s wifi to MacBook Pro and it looks alright. Hence I assume it's not hardware/ network card problem.
I have tried various solutions found on Internets or Mac related websites but still unable to resolve this problem. I am not sure whether there is any application could diagnose this wifi dropout problem. What would be the adequate fibre wifi roundter setting for MacBook Pro?
Appreciate Apple or anyone would share your solution and experience.

Constant wifi notifications

The constant wifi notifications are very annoying when its enabled. Not only does it constantly notify me of different networks, it also constantly tells me when my phone connects/disconnects to my home wifi network. How do i stop them? Is there an update around the corner?
>>Subject line shortened and content moved to body of post<<

I also find this frustrating!!! The notify "check" option only effects the "pop up" to connect when entering apps. It does not stop the phone from constantly putting a notification into the android system about networks available.
Prior to lollipop it was just annoying. Now with the update it is down right intrusive because it keeps coming up on my lock screen as the top notification. Called HTC and they claim it is a Verizon change. THIS IS WHY PEOPLE ROOT PHONES. Please tell me how to stop this top notification. Wireless networks are all over the place!! you do not need to keep telling me!!!

Constant Wifi Disconnect After Moving To SystemD

Hi All,
I used netcfg for months with a WPA2 connection using the initscripts. I finally moved to systemD. I was getting dbus errors from systemD using systemctl so updated via pacman which fixed the errors. I did this within minutes apart so not for sure if a kernel update broke something - stupid move on my part.
Any how I followed the wiki guide for netcfg, within a few minutes and after a reboot was happily working away. I configured the wifi like so:
systemctl enable netcfg@gloryhole
Then the wifi disconnecting started at random intervals but very quickly, what seems to be less than 3 minutes.

After reading some forums they recommended net-auto-wireless.
systemctl enable net-auto-wireless
Still no luck, another forum recommended removing netcfg and trying some thing else, since they had constant disconnects. I installed wicd and disabled services that could conflict with wicd. Disconnect problem still exists
I verified hardware is OK, in windoze wifi card works great, pulled down many gigs with no problem testing. My laptop has native systemD install with wicd and works great so nothing with my AP.

So still being frustrated and tired of having a long cat5 cable across my house I decided to take another whack at this.
First thing first I disabled WPA2 on the AP and let it wide open, even though every other device was working. Was hoping to rule out wpa but instead it got worse.
I first tried netcfg, after removing everything I could find on wicd. The issue with netcfg is I could connect but couldn't surf. A little testing showed that there is a problem with the wifi link established. It won't allow much or any traffic to go through. Pings barely work, surfing was hit and miss.
I decided to just connect via cli, once again removed netcfg, wicd, removed any trace files, disabled related services and rebooted to remove previous entries.

Interesting thing is I am getting a different deauthenticating reason, originally was 2. Deauthenticated reason=3 means "deauthenticated because sending STA is leaving (or has left) IBSS or ESS The access point went offline, deauthenticating the client" or AP went offline, which it did not. (src: http://www.aboutcher.co.uk/2012/07/linu … on-codes/).
Keep in mind I run my house on the same wifi so if anything went down somebody always tracks me down to fix it. Also my ISP link is not the problem as I was downloading at the same time and not saturating my pipe. At this point I think it is just easier to run a cable under the house and mount a jack. Ideas?

Macbook wifi dropouts ??

Hi,
I recently got a new 2011 Macbook Pro 13 (Thunderbolt) and have had problems with the WIFI dropping off after every 20 minutes
or so. I have updated the OS and all updates. I have noticed at home it drops out when using WIFI. There I am using an Orange Livebox
(new one - 802), but at work it does not dropout... I am wondering what the problem could be.
Any ideas?

These type of discussions, of the speculative type, are not allowed under the Terms of Use.
Having said that, don't expect one any time soon so if you want to buy a MacBook buy one now. While it does look like there are a lot of issues there really aren't. These discussions concentrate and amplify the the quantity and seriousness of many issues.
If you want to speculate I would suggest you do it elsewhere like on Mac rumours sites of which there are many.

Turn off constant wifi notification? - Galaxy S3

I just read that the Galaxy S3 has a constant reminder to turn your wifi on if you shut it off, and the option cannot be shut off. Is this a mistake of some kind? Are people missing the method opt-out of this notification? Many of us don't have wifi around all the time and I don't need a constant notification to turn it on. That is why I pay $30 a month for a data plan.

Welp...looks like the pesky popup has been cracked too and doesn't even require any "warranty voiding" device modifications. Instructions below (compliments of one of "those" sites) as it shouldn't void any TOS that I'm aware of.
1. Basically, get AnyCut. It's not on the Play Store anymore and is kinda hard to find.
Here ya go: http://dl.dropbox.co...6001/anycut.apk
2. Fire up AnyCut and create a new shortcut action, find "HiddenMenuWifiOffloading" and tap it. Go to your home screen and click it, change to Disabled.

[solved] A2109A-F intermittent WiFi dropouts

Hi all,
some days ago I bought the tablet and am going nuts over it soon.
With ICS as well as JB I experience the same problem that on 3 out of 4 WiFi's I have intermittent dropouts where first the indicator turns grey then vanishes and comes back on after some seconds. The interval is some 10 to 30 seconds depending on ??? the router ???. It doesn't affect e.g. youtube but regularly stops flash videos and randomly gives "server not available" messages during surfing. Since it also occurs during video streaming, I don't think it is "powermanagement" related, although I disabled as much as I could find.
Unfortunately the WiFi in the shop where I bought the tablet is one of the 25% that are working ok....
any hint / help much appreciated
Solved!
Go to Solution.

ok, found the problem (at least at two if the location that are of my interest): although the chipset in my router and the tablet are from same manufacturer, they are incompatible if some "turbo mode" is enabled on the router. Probably the same at our office but I can't get into the adminpage

Alternative to HH5? WiFi dropout issues.

Hi everyone,
This is my first post on this Forum and hopefully someone can give me some advice regarding my Home Hub 5 and dropout issues.
I am on the BT Infinity 2 package and get pretty good speeds (I'm close to the cabinet), 60-70 Mbps seems to be the norm and sometimes higher but it does fluctuate.
However, I do suffer from dropouts using wifi and have heard that many people have replaced their HH5's because of this. What kit would I need to improve this situation and give me better stability. The present coverage in the house is good in terms of wifi signal, I just want something that ensures I am always connected on all of my devices around the house and getting the best possible speeds.
If I bought a new router does it still have to be connected to the HH5 (as the modem?) and will just be used for the wifi?
By the way, my HH5 is positioned in an open space fairly central in the house (not stuffed behind the settee!! ).

The TP Link TD W9980 is a direct replacement for the Homehub 5, although if you have BT TV as well, there's a bit more configuration required.

N82 attempts constant wifi connection

My N82 is constantly attempting a wifi connection to my home router, and I don't know why. I have uninstalled every single app that uses data, and checked the settings of those I can't uninstall (as they don't appear in App Manager) to confirm that this connection is not being requested anywhere.
WLAN scanning is set to Off. Running firmware 31.01.016 (upgraded from 20.x today but hasn't fixed this).
It is specifically interested in my home router - if I am out of range, it fills the Log with attempts to connect to it every 2 seconds. Even when I am in range of other routers which have their details stored in the phone, it will ignore them and try and connect to my home wifi.
The constant attempts to connect only stop in two circumstances:
when I am in range of my home wifi router and it can successfully connect, or
if I out of range but I explicitly request a different data connection (e.g. if I connect to browse with GPRS, or connect to a different wifi router).
Obviously this is killing my battery life. I get about 8 hours when away from home. It's driving me crazy!
Any bright ideas would be much appreciated.

if you had upgraded the firmware on the AEBS to 7.6.3 that could be causing the problems. Revert back to 7.6.1 to see if that fixes the issue.
