Different wireless problem - help!

Hi,
I have a problem wher my iPad 1st generation) seems to "throw" other devices of my home wifi?
Basically, I can have a laptop connected to wifi for hour, but the minute I go online with my iPad, the laptop loses its connection. I have another laptop that will connect to wifi if the wireless setting on the iPad is turned off ( and work fine), but the same laptop won't even connect to wifi if I have my iPads wireless setting is turned on.
This has now come to a head as I can't sync through iCloud, as I need to have both my iPad & laptop connected to wifi at the same time.
Has anyone else experienced the same problem, or know of a way to fix it?
Thanks,
Chris

You have either a configuration problem, frirmware problem, or hardware problem with your router.
It's hard to comment further without some details on what router hardware you are using (make, model, and version) and how you have it configured.

IPad 2 wireless problems - help please!

Hey guys, I have a 2Wire wireless and my iPad 2 can't access the internet even though it says it is connected and the signal strength is at the max. (3 bars).I already changed the wireless settings from WEP to WPA-Personal, but it still doesn't work. (The IP address under DHCP starts with 169). My iOS version is 4.3.5 (8L1)
Can anyone please help me? Thanks!

Hey guys (:
Thanks for the help! But now I have a different problem :/
Basically, when I connect to the wireless now all the details (IP address etc) are correct, but then they disappear after around 20 seconds. So I have to renew the lease and it comes back again, but disappears again after 20 seconds! I can't access the internet although the left hand bar on Settings tells me I'm connected.
Does anyone know why? I'm quite confused because I've been searching for help and haven't come across any other person with this problem yet ):

T400 different wireless problem

Hi,
I have a problem with the Intel WifiLink 5300 on my T400 with Vista.
I am using Vista to configure the wireless.
But I'd rather use Thinkvantage, but even if I disable the Vista integrated wireless configuration, Thinkvantage still says that another program controls the wireless)
The Second problem is that web browsing sometimes doesn't work.
I enter google.com in firefox or internet explorer, it looks like he does something, but than a white page or nothing appears.
The funny thing about that is that other programs don't have problems, the Thinkvantage updater never disconnected and even if firefox can't reach google i still get a ping answer from google.
I disabled Windows Firewall und Defender, doesn't help anything.
The internet connection comes over a wireless connection, but other laptops don't have the same problems with the same router.
(i already installed the newest version of the WifiLink driver from intel's homepage)

how many bars of signal do you have?
Also, paste your pings and do a tracert to google.com when the browsing is not working.

To anyone else having a similar issue:
Here's what you need to do:
1. From your router's wireless settings (which you can access on your router's manufacturer website) set your channel to the highest number available (11 in US and Canada, 13 in Australia).
2. Reboot your router.
3. Forget network on your iPhone, and reset your network settings (Settings>General>Reset>Reset network settings).
4. Turn wifi back on and enter your wifi password, and VOILA!! Works like a charm I can't even believe it!!
I literally spent my entire day trying to fix this!!! I hope it helps someone out there!
Cheers!

How can two computers in one room have different wireless strength?

I have a Time Capsule that is a few years old. I also have a MacMini that is about 5 years old. I moved the Mac Mini from one side of the room to another in front of the window. When the Mac Mini was in its old space the wireless strength showed all the bars. Now that it is in the new area it shows 2 to 3 bars. What makes it even stranger is if I am using my Macbook Pro at the same time the other computer is on even in another room it has the wireless strength showing all the bars. How is this possible? Why is this happening? What could be causing this problem? Help!!

There are 3 antennas on the old TC.. around the 3 sides.. none in the front where the ports are.. Wireless is highly affected by location and how many antennas it directly sees.. if there is any material in the way of direct line between the two.. any metal wlll reflect signal.. that includes the metal frame inside the TC and the metal parts inside the mac mini.. so small orientation changes hugely affect wireless. !!
And water like dampness in bricks.. or even including the meat popsicles hitting the keyboard, sitting between the TC and the client computer will absorb the wifi. You are after all 50-70% water.. all wifi takes place in direct line.. get into the line and your body will be the barrier. The antenna in the Mac Mini are also located somewhere probably around the sides.. make sure you align them so a person can see from one to the other and orientate it so the antennas (hidden) can see each other.. plastic is invisible to them. With nothing in the way.
Laptops have better spaced and superior type antennas.. and probably a totally different wireless card.
It will also depend on the band it uses. A 5year old mini .. is that G or N wireless?? If N wireless then it is probably single band ie 2.4ghz.
The laptop if recent may use either 2.4ghz or 5ghz.
So you see there are many factors.

Can a HP B210 AIO printer be connected to 2 different wireless networks at the same time?

I live in a household that has 2 different wireless networks in it (both me and my roommate have our own networks) and we just bought a new B210 series AIO printer. The printer detects both of our networks but only will print from one network at a time. If I want to print from my network I have to manually go to the wireless network wizard on the printer and select my network and re-enter my password. Is there any way that I can set up the printer to acknowledge both networks without having to constantly switch back and forth?

Ideapad Flex 15 wireless problem

My wireless internet frequently cuts off showing the no connectivity image at the bottom right hand corner.
I have updated the driver and even uninstalled it, though it did not help in both cases.
I uninstalled most of the software that came with notebook, such as McAfee anti-virus and other programs that may affect my wireless connection.
I can regain internet access by simply disconnecting and reconnecting, however this is not a long term solution.
Windows doesn't seem to attempt to reconnect either.
I tried most of the common methods and I'm seeking some other ideas.
I'm using Windows 8.1 and I've also experienced this problem with Windows 8.
In addition, I've tried three different wireless internet connections; I don't believe it to be a router problem.
The hardware is: Intel Wireless-N 7260

Try to use the driver here: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS036494
If that drivers don't work, it might be because you upgraded to 8.1. Try the Yoga 2 Pro's drivers instead since they both share the same WiFi card: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS037481

U300s wireless problems (multiple)

I have had my U300s just over a year now and am suddenly encountering wireless problems. Like others on this board with different IdeaPads (esp. U310), I experience a dramatic drop in speed when I move from the first floor (where the router is) to the second. It sometimes disconnects, says I have no internet access, etc. The second, and more mysterious problem is very, very recent: I have decent internet access -- even when upstairs on the second floor -- until the moment I switch over to an external monitor and close the laptop lid. Then: nothing. All other functions work fine, the internet simply cuts out. This is VERY odd, as up until one month ago in a different apartment (and for a good 8 months), I worked everyday with my laptop connected to an external monitor, lid closed, with no real problems (only the occassionaly slow internet).
Just for the record: I originally thought the wireless cutting out might have to do with my wireless mouse (previously, I had a corded). So I hunted down an old, corded mouse and...makes no difference. Clearly not the source of the problem.
I know some people have had problems with their wireless after installing Windows8. I am still using the original Windows7.
Thanks for any help!!

Sorry, no. I have been overwhelmed and distracted by a new problem: my keyboard's space bar, enter key, and back space key are not working. It started off as an occassional glitch last week (when I shut down and turned the pc back on, the problems were usually also gone) but now I can press as hard or frequently as I am able and nothing happens. Or if it does, it is a total fluke, not to happen again any time soon. And it makes no difference if I put it into sleep or shut it off and start it back up. I don't know what to do! Is this a hardware problem or...?

Slow Internet/ Wireless Problems

I have had a black macbook for two months now, and have been having wireless problems. I put it next to my powerbook aluminum and the macbook shows a flashing wireless network (going in and out really quickly). Sometimes I also see the network but can't go to any websites, must either sleep it or renew DHCP. The internet has also been much slower than the aluminum. Any suggestions? SImilar problems?

but it is worse or nearly cannot connect to the internet when use the wireless even I just in front of the router.
the usual speed of the internet is around 60~112mb. however, now is 13mb (actual speed is less than 1mb or >56K).
just want to know what I can do? is it related to Norton antivirus? or Killer network lan?
the killer manager is 6.1.0.437.
please help thank you very much......

thank you for your reply, where I can find the new drive to upgrade?
moreover, I will go to other place to test the wireless.
It always give a feeling that the laptop wireless is limited!!
when I first connected to the router, it show limited until I turn off the router and on again.
but the speed is no different. less than 56K mean even you load a normal website, you have to wait 1 min.
sad sad sad.

If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
You may have to force iPad/iPod into Recovery Mode

Wireless Problem in windows 7 intel wifi link 5100agn

i bought a dv7 1270us laptop in january. everything was fine until the last 3 months i started having small problems in vista. it would take 10+ minutes to connect and the speed would go up and down. then i installed windows 7 and am either having problems with the card or driver but ive tried every driver i can find and nithing has worked.. the wireless drops randonly. when it drops it doesnt lose connection the signal drops all the way down to one bar and i get maybe 10Kbps of bandwith well it takes 2 minutes to load a page of this forum atleast. When it drops it also only drops for maybe 5-10 minutes or else it stays like that until i restart but resarting always fixes it tempoparily for 10 minutes or so. toaday i tried to disconnect and reconnect to my network. as soon as i cicked connect i got a blue screen it pointed torwards netw5v64.sys i have tried re installing the drivers multiple times and the problem isnt resolved. i have sent the laptop in twice in the last 2 months one for the blue ray drive and wireless problems i am having now. they sent it back with a new blue ray drive and a new antenna for my wireless saying the card was fina it was a driver and maybe a new antenna would help with connectivity. well they were wrong. i got it back and it started overheating to 90+ degrees celcius and wireless problems were still there even though they re-imaged the hard drive so all drivers should be perfect.so i sent it back again. now i just got it back and they cleaned the heatsink and completely ignored my wireless problems. the sheet that states the repairs that were done has a circle aroubd cleaned heatsink/fan and thats it n comments or anything. then to make the icing on the cake there is a 3 inch long fairly deep scrath on my laptop i take verygood care of all of my laptops so that i can sell them used for more than a scratched up one. i am very disappointed in hp and almost dont want to send it back and loose it for another week just to get it back without anything being done again i am almost certain they would re0image the hard drive again and send it back since they didnt even do that the second time. okay back on topic is there anything anyone has heard t fix this so i dont have to send it in again. any help is appreciated

Intel! They make processors and a variety of motherboard hardware, but they seem to have a devil of a time making decent drivers. Particularly with their wireless NICs. Lately I’ve noticed a number of errors springing from the Intel WiFi Link 5100/5300 AGN family of wireless adapters. They seem to cause random bluescreen errors on Windows Vista systems. Fortnuately, there is a viable workaround:
-Right click on Computer and select Manage.
-After Computer Management opens up, go to Device Manager.
-In Device Manager, expand the Network Adapters category.
-Right-click on “Intel (R) WiFi Link 5100 AGN” and select Properties.
-In Properties, go to the Power Management tab.
-Under the Power Management tab, make sure that “Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power” is unchecked.
Apparently, the driver for the WiFi Link 5100 can’t properly handle the device going to sleep, and pulls down the whole system. Hopefully Intel will fix this in future driver updates. Until then, this workaround will have to do.

Apple does not sell an unlocked iPhone. Some cell carriers offer the option to purchase an unlocked phone at a significantly higher price. Your friend could go to Hong Kong and buy an unlocked phone from an authorized carrier but if he has any problems with the phone, he will need to take it back to the country where he purchased it.

Mac pro wireless problem osx 10.9.4

Mac Pro n
Had wireless problem after 10.9.4 update.
Various things it may say: move router closer, or invalid password, or time out.
Tried all the solutions normally provided. Restarting, running this, doing the airport tests, more this and that, etc... no go bro! Searches returned similar problems but no real answers.
SO....
I changed router channel from 6 to 7, you can change yours to what ever channel you like, and restarted router.
In NETWORK preferences the wireless light was orange and not connected. Network connection shows my network though.
I then went into NETWORK > ASSIST ME > DIAGNOSTICS >The Network Status light for Wi-Fi was green but all others below it were red.
I then typed in the name of network connection and the password in the wifi settings and it said wrong password, I did it again and a drop down box said "network changes detected"
Wahoooo That is the ticket!
Then re-enter the Connection Name and Password and it should connect.
All the lights should now be green on the Network Status (ISP, Internet,etc)
Lucky Me!
Question is:
How do I manually get my connection back rather than hoping and praying the Mac Pro will finally detect something different and then allow the connection.

Try updating to 10.9.5. I had similar problems before updating.

Bookmark this page, its the entry page to the Lenovo support pages for your 2374-Q39. In it you see you have the Intel 2200bg wireless card so this is the correct driver to use.
