Devices drop off my EA6350 network every 1-2 days but internet access is maintained

Devices on my network disappear every few days. Internet access is maintained for computers but I can't see other devices on the network. Is there something I need to change in my settings? Do DHCP reservations affect this? The situation is very frustrating as I have to reset the router every time I want to print something or access the my web cam. Thanks in advance for any help. KF6YU

I'm not sure about the Lease Time to No Limit. I suggest that you do IP Reservation instead or contact Linksys Support for assistance.

Apple Devices Dropping Off Wireless Network

Hello, I have recently deployed a wireless network using a WLC 2504 with 21 Light APs. All seems fine except that
Apple Devices drop their connections every 15 minutes or so. A couple of minutes later they can reconnect but
obviously something is wrong.
Many Thanks

Only Apple device exhibit this kind of behaviour?
What kind of Apple devices? Mac laptops? iPad, iTouch, iPhone?
Have you seen this behaviour from, say, non-Apple devices? Android? Windows laptops?
What are the signal strengths when this happens?
Do you have Aironet IE enabled?
How far are the clients from the WAP(s)?

Ios 5.0.1 dropping off wap enterprise network when phone goes to sleep

Same issue that is being discussed about dropping off WAP Enterprise when phone sleeps. Everytime I have to reconnect and I am ok. It will not remember the connection. I own the 4G and it worked fine all the time. However when updating to the 5.0.0 and 5.0.1 the problem exist. No problem with cisco linksys connection for home use.. Corporate use is an issue. Don't see how it worked fine before for multiple users and as soon as we updated to 4G s software the problem started. This is something in the phone connection and recommend a fix or multiple user will switch products !
I have restarted phone, reset phone entirely, reloaded phone, reset network settings and master reset...No luck. When will a fix be coming.

I did not realize that it had different behavior when plugged in, I just tested and that is the case. What I find interesting is that it used to stay on wifi all the time before I updated to 7.1. Also, from what I read when I first got my iphone, was wifi uses less power than mobile data/3G, so that does not make sense to me. If I have background app updating on it should use wifi when I am home, so it does not use up my data limit. Finally, I have an app from the cable company that gives me caller ID when the home phone rings, and it does not work anymore because the phone reverting to 3G.

Firewire Devices Drop Off

I have several LaCie Firewire drives that I use for backup. They were working fine and were connected always to my machine as was my iSight. About a 2 weeks ago this all changed. The harddrives would suddenly drop off the desktop and I would get a message that I disconnect the drives improperly. If I disconnected the drives and reconnected them most of the time they would come back up, but sometimes I would have to use Disk Warrior to rebuild before they would show up. I also noticed at about the same time that sometimes when I started a video conference only the audio was available. If I unplug and replug the firewire connection to the iSight it would start up. As a final test, I took the LaCie Drives to work and connected them to my G5 Tower and left it on all day with no problem. Does this sound like a hardware problem with my iMac or does someone have some advice about what else could be the problem?
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.5)
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Mac 1 Ghz G4 1 gig Ram Os 10.4.5
My Firewire connected LaCie Bigdrive started disconnecting spontaneously with a complaint from the iMac that it was disconnected improperly.
Finally it did so once more and has not mounted via FW since. However, USB does mount it but big files take all day to transfer.
I took out the Maxator from the LaCie drive and put it in a FW/USB caddy, ok for a while then the same story. USB only mounting.
Informed with some confidence by a poster on Bombich's website
( http://forums.bombich.com/viewtopic.php?p=25658#25658 ) that it was the boot drive OS
Tried new cable. repaired boot drive disc, repaired permissions, ran DiscWarrior over it, repaired permisssions, ran downloaded 10.4.5 combo, ran DiscWarrior over it and finally repaired permissions again.
No Joy.
i would most appreciate useful suggestions.
Regards and thanks in advance

I created a wireless network with my Time Capsule but would like to connect this network to a WiFi Hotspot for Internet Access

I have created a Wirelss Network at home with the Time Capsule and would like to connect this network to the Internet.
I can't use LAN Cable to connect to it anything becasuse I usually use the WiFi that runs through my building.
Can I connect the Time Capsule to the WiFi hotspot somehow so that all computers on my network have Internet access and if so, what do I need?
I need this done because the computers can only be connected to either the WiFi network or to my Time Capsule Network at any given time.
Or is there a way to be connected to both networks simultaneously?
I have two PC's and two Macs.
Thank you for any support and I apologise for my ignorance. I am not too good with networking.
I have tried the silliest of things like connecting a router to the TC only to then realise that the TC had an inbuilt router.
I tried connecting a USB WiFI adapter to the USB Port on the TC but it doesnt detect it that way apparently.
Please help!

I have a kinda same problem @ https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3531642
Please reply (somebody)!

Mac suddenly stopped communicating with LAN devices, but internet access still OK.

My iMac has suddenly stopped communicating with my wireless printer and my blu-ray player (DLNA). Both have worked well for the past 3-4 weeks since I set up a new wireless router (Cisco EA4500).
Troubleshooting so far:
Printer Function: My wife's MacAir and my iPhone both print wirelessly to the printer. [OK]
2nd Printer connected to Mac via USB. [OK]
Blu-Ray Player Function: System is able to reach the internet (YouTube) via the wireless router. [OK]
Mac Function:
Internet access. [OK]
PRAM and SMC resets: [nothing]
Restarted "Playback" media server software for blu-ray (DLNA) server. [nothing]
Printer Setup: I have deleted and re-added the wireless printer and reset printer system. Mac will "see" the printer on the network, but cannot communicate with it. [nothing]
Attempts to use Epson Utility: Connection Error
Router Function:
Checked Firmware. Most recent version prior to the "Cisco Cloud" fiasco - my router did not auto-upgrade and was not involved in the most recent firmware upgrade.
I just cannot get the Mac to see any other hardware on the local wifi network, but the mac has no problem connecting to the internet.
Any ideas?
Travis

Happened to me.Drove me crazy. Turns out, iMac can fix itself.
Go to system preferences then network and select the connection (wireless or ethernet) that you want to use.At the bottom of the box you'll find "Assist me". click that and follow the prompts. it will likely telly you that your settings are screwed up (surprise) and ask if you want to fix them or let DHCP do it. Just let DHCP do it.

HT4628 My Mac mini has decided to continuously drop off my wifi network and is incredibly slow to open a web page. Wifi is working perfectly with other devices.

Hi my Mac mini will not stay on the network today and is slower than a pc to lad a web page.
I've followed various suggestions off the web and still have the same problem. 1 second the network is available and working slow and the next it says in network diagnostics that ISP has failed. The router is fine as I'm using an iPad and iPhone and all is working perfectly at +5 Mbps however when I try to open yahoo in safari it take about 5 minutes to open the page and then when I try to create a new mail I get the same Tim delay and then can't enter a send to address!
I've never managed to sort out email either but it not for a lack of trying about 30 different suggestions.
I'm fairly new to mac and am getting very very frustrated with not being able to solve these problems.
Can anyone please steer me towards a step by step or screen by screen resolution please please please help?

Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them; in that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
Restart your router and your broadband device, if they're separate. Any change?
If possible, connect to your router with an Ethernet cable and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?
Are any other devices on the network, and if so, are they the same?
If you can connect to more than one network, are they all the same?
Are all network applications affected, or only some? If only some, which ones?
Is networking always the same, or is the problem intermittent?
Disconnect all other devices from the network. Any change?
Boot in safe mode and test. Any difference?
If possible, turn off Bluetooth and disconnect any USB 3 devices. Any difference?

Apple tv2 movie rental cache drops off and won't finish downloading (not related to internet connection)

I'm having an issue with my apple tv2 when renting movies. This isn't with home-sharing but just renting movies only with the apple tv. We've done this with 10 or so movies up until the issue so it has worked in the past.
What happens is that the movie downloads to a certain point and then the cache bar goes immediately to the end of the progress bar like the whole movie is downloaded. The movie will play to a certain point, say the 9 minute mark, and then the picture just freezes with no more sound but the progress bar tracker continues along like it's still playing. This has happened on multiple movies now.
We've spoken to support about this and tried a variety of troubleshooting ideas. Unplugged, reset, restored, updated firmware, etc. with no luck. The download will restart but freezes at the exact second that it did before while showing that the cached download is complete. We've checked the internet connection with other devices and there's no connection problem at all. Reset the router as well for good measure but no change.
I know we can try renting and downloading on the computer first and then sharing with the apple tv but I would prefer to know why it's not working on the apple tv itself.
Any ideas would be great.
Thanks

Yeah, that's what we thought too so we got a refund (by using the report a problem link and explaining what happened) and tried a different movie with the same result. Used the link again after the second movie didn't work and went through pretty much the same troubleshooting steps with them.
Basically the only solution offered so far has been to take it to a licensed apple retailer for them to take a look.

SCSI Attached Storage Drops off Network

After grading to current gen Mac Pro running 10.8.2, I have noticed that my Attached Scsi storage drops off of our network on a regular basis. This was never a problem on my late 2007 Mac Pro running 10.6.X When we upgraded we kept the same ATTO UL5D and just moved it over to the new maching and installed the latest drivers.
The fix to get the drive back on the network is to restart the machine but this is not really the best solution as sometimes if I am in the middle of something I can't just restart the computer.
Everything seems correct in the networking settings and the drive is shared under the get info. Access to the other drives seems to be fine. The one odd thing is that The whole drive comes up under the networking section of the finder as well as the one directory - our photo library, seems that access to that one directory is okay but when I just looked the no access red circle was there for the rest of the drive. I disconnected and then reconnected and all the drives came up with the Whole Drive in question greyed out but that one directory again listed seperatly and accessable.. It is very odd.
any isight would be appreciated

SCSI Attached Storage is something else.
You have parallel SCSI drive(s) attached to your Mac with a SCSI card. You appear to be using
System Preferences > Sharing > File Sharing ...
... to Share them with other Macs on your Network.
Mac OS X File Sharing is completely dependent on the Permissions system. If you get the red circle minus sign "no access" symbols, you usually need to change who-gets-access under File Sharing.
If the drives disappear, you can sometimes get them back by using the Finder's Connect to Server, or disconnecting and re-connecting in a Finder window on the remote Mac.

Help! Broadband keeps dropping off

I need some help.I rely on my infinity to work at home. Since beginning of the week the broadband has been constantly dropping off I suspect it may have happened prior to then as tablet would be offline in morning. Now it's dropping, at times, every 20 mins. Work are very annoyed. I have to connect the systems wireless( hence why chose "good" Infinity).I'm on hub5. The internet only drops for few seconds but enough to kill everything in house. Once the hub went orange but usually blue. We have replaced the micro filter, reset hub with pin twice, changed channels, split the WiFi to 2.4 and 5Hz. Still dropping off
They say nothing wrong with the line but with our previous supplier they said we had imbalance on copper wire. I'm now suspicious it was never fixed. Called bt today but got no answers to my questions. Right at end of one hour call was told that software is to blame but it's going to take a week to fix. What do I do about work? I can't connect wired and I'm going to lose my job. Obviously my questions were outside the script ...
HOw can I be certain it's still software problem ? Is there any way I can connect to the main socket with my laptop wired to see if still dropping off rather than the hub? Can I use a different router? Is the hub less stable on an extension from master socket?
Can the customer service people actually see if there has been a millisecond drop off? They said they can see I've only had two but it's more like 5 an hour. Even happened when on phone. I can be sat within metre of hub and it still drops off. How can I tell if someone is interfering with the WiFi connection in the house? What do I need to be asking them to check regarding the copper resistance. One customer service representative said he'd reset the Cooper. Personally I can't see that happening as engineer previously picked it up by getting to the house only.
Like I said I'm getting so worried as broadband is essential for my job.
Thanks

Phaser 3250DN drops off network after printing one or two pages

I have a Phaser 3250DN printer that has started dropping off the network after switched on and printing one or two pages. If I power cycle the printer, it comes back online, but then drops off the network again almost immediately so I can't print any more pages. The printer fails to respond to pings while in this state. The printer is 4 years old but has had >extremely< light usage. We've printed about one thousand pages total and is only turned on when we want to print something so most of the time it's physically powered off.

Network drop-offs can occur for a variety of reasons and be triggered by a variety of causes. You may want to make sure you are using the latest software release on the product, as well as check the network firewall configuration settings. In addition, sometimes disabling unused networking protocols can reduce traffic the device is exposed to and ease the burden if traffic volume is what is shutting down the NIC.
Another thing to consider would be the network topography itself; make sure the device is on a subnet exposed to minimal broadcast/multicast traffic.
Finally, you can verify the device itself is physically functional by testing it with a laptop and crossover cable. If the drop-off behavior occurs while connected directly to another single computer, it may be indicative of an issue with the main board or hard drive.
You may also find additional support articles at the following link: Phaser 3250 KB - http://www.support.xerox.com/support/phaser-3250/support/enus.html
I hope this helps.
Have a great day.

Dropping off line/off network

After a long period of zero problems I suddenly found that my imac-G5 is randomly dropping offline/out of network. Sometimes when left alone for a short time, other times longer, such as overnight, or going to the gym. Three hours later I come back and I'm offline. Network connection gone, and I have to re-up.
This concerns me as the first time (the next morning) I found a few applications I had left off, now running and the network connection severed. It has since happened several times. Could I have a spyware/virus or self-destructing HD?

Miriam: Here is the response I got from Applecare, a gentleman named Derrick helped me on this. Apparently it is our new cordless phone(s) that has interfered and undone the airport and hence the internet connection(s). Here is a copy 7 paste of a reference he sent me, outlining sources of said problem:
AirPort: Potential sources of interference
Metal, bulletproof glass, and dense paper are a few things that might interfere with your AirPort signal. Here you can learn all about potential sources of interference.
Preventing Interference for Wireless Networking
If an AirPort network is out of range or often interrupted, it may be due to interference.
Interference results in:
• A decrease in the range of contact with the base station.
• A decrease in the rate of data transfer.
Sources of Interference for AirPort
The farther away the interference source, the less likely it is to cause an issue. The following items can cause interference with AirPort communication:
• Microwave ovens: Placing your computer or an AirPort Base Station near a microwave oven that is in use may cause interference.
• Direct Satellite Service (DSS) RF leakage: The coax cable that came with certain types of satellite dishes may cause interference. Obtain newer cables if you suspect RF leakage.
• Certain electrical devices such as power lines, electrical railroad tracks, and power stations.
• 2.4 GHz phones: A cordless telephone that operates in this range may cause interference with AirPort communication when used. There are also other devices that operate in the 2.4 GHz range that could cause interference.
• Metal objects: If possible, move metal objects or change the placement of the Base Station so the path between your AirPort equipped-computer and the Base Station is free from metal objects that may cause interference.
• X-10 video senders (transmitters/receivers) that operate in the 2.4 GHz bandwidth.
• Any other devices that operate in the 2.4 GHz bandwidth (microwaves, cameras, baby monitors, and so on).
Note: Some devices may not overtly state that they operate in the 2.4 Ghz band. The operations manual should indicate whether a particular device makes use of the 2.4 Ghz band. Typically, these will be advertised as "Dual Band" devices.
Effect of Home and Office Elements on AirPort Communication
Where you are located and what materials you are surrounded by can have an impact on your AirPort performance. The table below shows common elements and their potential for interference.
Type of Barrier
Interference Potential
Wood
Low
Plaster
Low
Synthetic material
Low
Glass
Low
Water
Medium
Bricks
Medium
Marble
Medium
Paper rolls
High
Concrete

How to reduce effects of interference
If you experience less than optimum performance due to interference from other devices that operate in the 2.4 GHz bandwidth, you may be able to reduce the effect of interference by changing to a different channel. Less than optimum performance may be characterized by low signal strength in the AirPort menu bar item, slow connection to the Internet, or slow file transfers between wireless computers. Using AirPort Admin Utility, you should try switching away from the channel that is experiencing interference. If you are currently using the default channel of 10, for example, try switching to channel 1.
The location of AirPort Admin Utility is normally /Applications/Utilities/ on Mac OS X computers. For Mac OS 9 computers, use Sherlock or Command-F in the Finder to locate AirPort Admin Utility. If you are using an AirPort Extreme Base Station, you need to click the Show All Settings button after connecting to the base station.
Note: Wireless Internet access requires an Internet service provider (fees may apply) and AirPort (or AirPort-compatible) wireless Ethernet card and base station. Some ISPs are not compatible with AirPort. For more information, see AirPort: Requirements for Wireless Internet Access.

IPADs and IPhones dropping off wireless network

I have a site with a number of iphones and ipads that are attaching to a Wireless network managed by a lan controller ( cisco 2504 )
but they seem to drop off every 16 minutes .... and can then get back on a few minutes later.
Any ideas appreciated.
Thanks

Right now I have it in the setting; "(OFF) Bridge mode". Do you know if the airport extreme if the internet bottle necks will crash?

Apple TV drops off network.

Apple TV returns the error ATV-N.P.LASU1 from the Netflix App after which time it is no longer visible on my network and cannot be reached using the Remote App on iOS 6. This seems to be recent behavior resulting from an update to Apple TV or iOS 6 itself. Previously Netflix errors did not seem to cause the same connection problem with the Remote App.
Steps to reproduce
1) watch something on netflix
2) netflix times out or program ends
3) trying to return to menu causes error above
4) you cannot exit netflix and return to main Apple TV menu
5) remote app stops connecting
I bought a regular Apple Remote to replace the long lost original and the AppleTV responds to this remote (of course it is infrared) but you still cannot exit the Netflix App.
Rebooting the Apple TV solves the problem. Waitng an indeterminate amount of time *sometimes* solves the problem when Netflix seems to clear its own network issue.
Oh by the way, 2nd Gen Apple TV is connected via a switch to an ethernet port on a Time Capsule. And this setup has worked fine for several years.
Anyone know of a more permanent fix for this? Apple are you listening?

Sightly diff. setup, but same dropped-network symptoms. ATV2 drops off the wireless or wired network every few hours. A restart thru the ATV menu fixes it. ATV3 running of the same wireless works fine. ATV2 is back on FW 5.0.1, ATV3 is on 5.1. Could be related, but the ATV2 had been running fine like that for a long time!
