Dropping my connection every weekday evening

Hi all, looking for some help with my connection.
For the past hmm... it's been a while maybe eight weeks something like that, i've been losing my connection once between 21:00 and 22:00 it happens every night. It's often closer two nine, for a whole week running it was at exactly 21:14. Guessing something goes to pants during the peak and my connection needs to resync or something.
It doesn't appear to be repetative in that after it reconnects it doesn't seem to dissconnect until the next evening around the same time. I've had some success with rebooting my router during the evening hours and controlling the dissconnect but it's not largely effective.
I'm not hugely worrid about getting really fast speeds, but me and my wife game during the weekday evening hours and the dissconnect is hugely inconvieient to us and those we play with.
It's got to the point where we can no longer except it as something that just happens so i've come here for advice.
I've attached my routers current 'stats' below, it dropped out about 20 minutes ago and came up like this.
Any advise would be great.

Thanks for the responses guys.
I've knocked off the faceplate and stuck my router into the master socket to see if that helps. I don't have anything other than the homehub plug anyway but who knows. I've tried replacing my filter previously to see if that helps but didn't have any luck (I actually bought 5 from different suppliers to make sure!).
I'll post again in a couple of days and see if this has helped. Thanks again.

Apple TV dropping WiFi connection every two minutes

Hey there,
So I bought an Apple TV a couple days ago. Product looks great and looks absolutely gorgeous on the TV I have. My only problem (and its a HUGE problem) is that the device drops my WiFi every two minutes. Specifically when watching videos.
So in effect I cant stream any video - be it from YouTube, iTunes, NFL, Vimeo or even over AirPlay - because every time I do the signal drops and I'm thrown back to the main screen.
My WiFi pretty good. I have an iPhone, an iPad, two PC laptops and a Samsung smart phone that use the same network without any issues.
Please help me with this problem. I really really like the product but its practically useless with this issue.

Other devices working doesn't rule out a network issue.
Try connecting Apple TV via ethernet
Go to istumbler, netstumbler or similar to get a network report. Look for signal strength, noise, and nearby networks.

E1000 Drops All Connections Every 30-60 Minutes

I recently bought a refurbished E1000 wireless router from Amazon, and from the first day I've had recurring connection issues with it. Every half hour or so it will lose all of its connections (wireless and ethernet) and requires a hard reset. After resetting, all connections are good for a little while but then the problem occurs again. When plugged directly into my modem (Motorola SB6121), my internet access is completely fine.
The router has the latest firmware as far as I know (2.1.02 build 5 May 6, 2011), and I've tried to change several settings (MTU to 1400, Fragmentation Threshold to 2306, etc) but to no avail. Does anybody have any suggestions to help fix this issue? I'd be happy to supply more information if it helps.

You'll have to try and isolate the issue. Could be the modem, could be your isp, or could be the linksys.
http://forums.comcast.com/t5/Connectivity-and-Modem-Help/Having-issues-with-your-Motorola-SB6121-Ple...
If your motorola SB6121 breaks it's highspeed connection even for a moment, the modem will drop out of bridge and turn it's DHCP server on and mess things up.
You can ask your ISP to monitor/log your connection and see if anything is happening.

EA3500 dropping internet connection every 2 minutes

Hello! I've recently purchased the EA3500 dual band wireless-N router to replace my old and somewhat tired WRT54GS. The old router worked, I just decided to upgrade to wireless-N since all of my devices are now capable.
My ISP is Comcast and I use a Motorola SB 6120 cable modem.
After an extremely easy setup of the new router last week, I experienced one full day of glorious speedier network and internet traffic. However, roughly 24 hours after installation I started experiencing intermittetent internet connectivity issues. As in - the cable modem is accessible for 2 minutes and then can't be found for 2 minutes, repeat forever.
After multiple different troubleshooting steps, including rebooting both the modem and the router together, separately, and releasing and renewing the router's IP Address through the router's admin page, I finally ended up resetting the router back to factory defaults and letting Windows 7 guide me through the re-installation rather than using the provided "easy setup" CD from Cisco.
This seemed to have helped, but 2 days later, my "every 2 minutes" issue returned.
Something important to note here is that all of my devices - both wired and wireless - are able to communicate with each other without issue. For example - while I have no access to the cable modem, I am able to stream music from a wired desktop through a wireless laptop to a wireless receiver connected to my TV. I am also able to access the router's admin tools during my connectivity issues.
Has anyone here got some ideas for additional troubleshooting steps I can take?

There are many reasons why you experience poor signal or connection. Your slow throughput wireless connection has a relation to the kind of setup that you have in your home or office. Is the connection dropping on all wireless-N computers or just one?
Try to do the following steps:
A] With the help of Cisco Connect Software (if at all you have installed the router with the help of this software)
1] Open the software and go to the option which says "Router Settings"
2] Then click on the option which says "Advanced Settings" which will take you to the router's configuration page.
3] Lower the MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) from 1500 to 1492 or less (usually found on your routers main/ basic setup page)
B] If you haven't installed Cisco Connect then you can log on to the router's user interface using it's default IP address in the browser which is 192.168.1.1 and type in 'admin' as the password leaving the username field blank. This will take you to the router's web interface and then follow steps as mentioned above to make the changes.

Iphone 3 drops wireless connection every 2 seconds, then reconnects, Iphone 4 works fine with same wireless

My wife has an iphone 3 running 4.2.1 (I think thats as high as it can go?) and every two seconds it drops the wireless connection, then reconnects for 2 seconds. I'm using Plusnet wireless and my iphone 4 connects fine to it. Anyone got any ideas?

If no change after resetting network settings on the iPhone and/or after restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup and if the same with different wi-fi networks the iPhone has access to, there is a hardware problem with the wireless card or with something else.

WRTP54G-NA Drops VPN connection every hour

I have a WRTP54G-NA router running VOIP for Viatalk. Connected to a ethernet port is my Juniper Netscreen VPN device used to create a VPN tunnel for work. The problem I'm having is that every 60 minutes (exactly) the connection drops and has to reestablish. The code on the Linksys is 3.1.24. If I remove the Linksys and plug the Netscreen directly into my cable modem I have no disconnects. Any ideas??

So what's the answer? I have a similar problem when playing on my Xbox 360 every hour (at the same time) the Xbox is kicked off because the modem or router resets. I have a linksys modem CM100 modem and a Linksys VIOP router from TMobile. Is there a fix for this issue? If so what is it? Thx

3G drops WiFi connection every 20 seconds

Hi,
I'm debugging why a particular application I wrote myself won't work. The application basically creates a CFNetwork-based connection to the Mac over WiFi, and this used to work. I've recently updated to Mac 10.6.1 and iPhoneOS 3.0.1, and it no longer works. I see the following in my console log on the iPhone (which breaks the connection):

At that point, I get a "connection reset by peer" on my network connection, presumably becuse the en0 interface went down/up in this cycle. This happens every 20 seconds or so. What is going on here and how do I prevent my WiFi link from going down+up every 20 seconds?

I tried with another phone and that works fine - is my network card dead? Can I get that services?

BT Homehub 2 dropping connection every few minutes

Hi, my homehubs been working perfectly until today when it started dropping the connection every few minutes (ranging from 3 minutes up to 13). The broadband and phone lights go out then orange and then back to blue after about a minute.
Having browsed the forums etc Ive changed the location of the hub, changed channels, checked cabling and changed the microfilter.
Im now at a bit of a loss. The firmware is Version 8.1.H.J (Type A) and i notice that the firmware updated on todays date.
Im hoping someone has some ideas as im all out now.
Thanks

I have the same problem friday afternoon at 4.30 to 11.30 at night the router reset itself every five minutes ....the prob first started in nov 2010 i have had 3 home engineer visits and finally we might be getting somwhere it looks like its caused by interferance on the line the phones fine its the broadband ,looking at the engineers meter it was running fine then all of a sudden it spikes erros 21,000 of them the router reboots and steadys again .......somthings causing line interferance it could be anything a pir on a security light ,a street lamp with a faulty timer ,there has even been a case where a car tyre garage has had its broadband removed by sombodys faulty tv .......
the engineer fitted a resistor box under the wall socket and ran the wires through it to the socket ...this is disigned to filter out certain frequencies of line pollution but not all ......it seems to be working its only shut down twice tonight and that could be the exchange mucking about as they are continuing to monitor the problem ......HOPING ....... oh he also removed the front of the wall socket and fitted me a dsl one with a separate phone socket hence doing away with the dsl filter ......................

Cisco SD2008 v3 switch dropping connections every few hours

Hi, I have a Cisco SD2008 v3 switch at the office that routinely drops connections every few hours and must be turned off/on to get back up. It doesn't seem to drop all connections, but some boxes plain and simply become unreachable.
I've double-checked that there aren't any looping cables. The network infrastructure wasn't touched, as we had a cheap unbranded switch before (which amusingly didn't have any problems other than an annoying fan) and just put the Cisco in.
I've googled a bit and found some references to this problem, which leads me to believe it's reasonably widespread. Is there a firmware update of some sort for this equipment? Any ideas?

Hi Bruno,
If you would be so kind as to ring the good folks at the Small Business Support center regarding this issue.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/support/tsd_cisco_small_business_support_center_contacts.html
If there is a known problem with this older product it should be replaced. You cannot update the unmanaged switch with new firmware as I guess that can only be done in a factory.
But the older SD2008 has been refreshed by the new technology SD2008T (100 series) which are really quite advanced compared to the older SD series switches.

Time capsule keeps dropping ethernet connection to BT Voyager every minute

I have just bought a 1TB TC to get the benefit of better wireless and the backup facility all in one. Previously I used a BT Voyager 2110 as ADSL modem and wireless router. I have set up the TC to connect from the WAN port to the LAN port on the BT router, put TC in bridge mode, and disabled wireless on the BT voyager. This means the BT Voyager does all the DCHP config and PPPoA, transmits this to the TC via ethernet and then TC broadcasts this on wireless. So far so good.
The TC works with this ok, but for whatever reason keeps losing the ethernet connection every minute or so. Literally almost flickering from amber light ('ethernet cable unplugged' for about 1-2 seconds) then back to green light sometimes several times a minute. This means I get no continuous or stable connection, e.g. for downloading/gaming online. The same happens if the BT router is in bridge mode and the TC configures the PPPoA itself - it has to 'renegotiate' every minute or so, which is very frustrating.
The ethernet cable is fine (I have tried two different cables), and each works with no problem if iMac is connected to TC (no internet though obviously), or if iMac is connected via LAN to the router for direct internet access - the network settings in system preferences shows no similar frequent loss of connection. The problem only seems to arise as between BT router and TC via ethernet. I have done resets of both the TC and the router, both are on the latest firmware updates as well so I am now at a loss. If anyone can help it would be really appreciated! Thanks.

Hi there, thanks for your quick reply.
Well I'm not actually trying to get the TC to do that function, merely to wirelessly broadcast what has been negotiated by the BT Router. I.e. the router is not a bridge letting the TC do the work, but rather the router has all the settings and then this is just fed down the ethernet, just like it would be to a computer.
Connection settings have always been 'connect using' ethernet, and 'connection sharing' is off (bridge mode).
The thing is that this config clearly does work as I can get internet access, but I can't work out why the ethernet connection is dropped so frequently (and at all) which means I have no stable connection.
I have tried changing the router to PPPoE, which still gives me internet access but does not resolve the problem of the ethernet connection being dropped.

Extreme Base Station suddenly dropping internet connection

I have an Extreme Base Station (802.11n Fast Ethernet) which has been providing wireless internet and printing to two imacs pretty flawlessly for several years. It seems to be a fairly simple network. DSL modem (to WAN port) and USB printer cable plugged into back of Base Station.
Several days ago, the Base Station began dropping connection to the internet every few minutes. If I connect the modem directly into the computer, I have no problems with losing connection. So, I began looking for solutions online and have been trying everything I could find to do. I've scoured the forums here, and everywhere and read a bazillion posts.
I've done a hard reset of the Base Station, I've tried different channels, I've unplugged, waited ten minutes, and replugged in a myriad of sequences, including unplugging both the modem (Zhone/Paradyne 6381-A3) and Base Station overnight. The only thing I haven't done is roll back the firmware (currently 7.4.2 I believe). I'm still experiencing the same problems and am at my wits end. I've spent hours now trying to fix it and need to do other things like shop for groceries and vacuum! So, I'm posting, in hopes someone might be able to point me in a more productive direction.
Is it possible the Base Station hardware is failing? What are the signs and symptoms? I hate to spend another $179 and still have the same problems.
Thank you.
Most kindly,

Dear Bluenova - ( +or other interested readers+ )
I know that this reply is two months since this topic was initially posted.
This is a longstanding Airport Extreme ( AEBS ) problem that's been noted since 2006-2007.
It has been an ongoing issue for me -AND- I continue to experience it even after recently upgrading my AEBS.
I finally called AppleCare in mid-Sept. and opened a formal problem case report.
As of today (Oct 15, 2010) I still have an open & unresolved case with AppleCare.
The problem has been escalated twice -and- is now referred to Engineering Dept for research & resolution.
I was curious what steps or actions you have taken -and/or- if you still experience the problem.
_Readers Please Note_
Many users have posted messages regarding problems with Airport Extreme *+DROPPING CONNECTIONS+* .
However, with careful reading, it becomes obvious that many forum posters are not sufficiently clear
-and- often confuse or do NOT make the distinction between ..... DIFFERENT TYPES OF CONNECTION PROBLEMS.

Actiontec MI424WR dropping wireless connection intermittently; wired connection works

I've had this router for about two years, with no issues.
Beginning on Saturday, our two laptops and phones began losing their connection to our wireless network, dropping the signal every 30 seconds or so. I tested the wired connection by plugging the laptops directly into the router, and both computers functioned properly - no issues connecting or staying connected. I have my Roku hard-wired to the router, and that also has had no issue, so it'd definitely a problem with the wireless signal to my devices.
Spoke to a CS rep, who had me first check the internet signal (green, blinking sporadically, which I was told indicated no issue with the connection), then had me reset the router and unplug. No dice. She said the internet signal seemed fine, and that "everything looked good on her end", whatever that means. They're sending a new router which I'll receive today or tomorrow, but I have trepidation.
Has anyone else had this issue? I saw alot of router issues on the forums, but wasn't sure if everyone was having this specific problem (just wireless connect issues).
Solved!
Go to Solution.

This turns out to be good advice. I changed the channel on my router settings to 11 (per an earlier post on a different thread), and I haven't had an issue since. Here's the original post: "01-21-2011 11:32 AM that type of problem doesn't sound like a router issue, but instead sounds like a wireless transmission issue. you may be able to resolve that fairly easily.. Try to change the wireless signal. you can do that in the router. open a browser, and go to http://192.168.1.1, user name is admin. and the password is most likely the serial number found on the service tag of your VZ router unless you changed it. Once you login successfully, go to the top and hit wireless, then on the left basic security. then go to option 3 which is channel 1, 6 and 11 and are the only channels you should try. So it will likely be set to auto, change it to 11 and put the check for keep settings even after reboot (Directly under the channel) and then hit apply., after you hit apply, test your connection out, if you notice a difference, leave it like that until the problem happens again, and if it happens again, go back into the router, and try channel 6, test it out. and then finally 1 if the first two don't work."

BT Homehub 2.0 Dropping all connections. Wired and...

Hi All
I recently joined BT a couple of months ago after being with Virgin. I was very happy with the speeds up the service to begin. Then the homehub started dropping all connections, both wireless and wired. This would happen about once or twice per day and the only way to get the connections back would be to power off the homehub. The lights remained all blue and there was no apparently connection issues after ringing through to support. After a few calls to BT they agreed that the router was faulty.
I then received a replacement hub, and after connecting it, I found that it was even worse. It lost all connections about every 20 minutes to the point where I had to hook up the one I was about to return to BT.
I have read similar threads, but nothing has been able to solve my problem. I have checked the channels and tried changing them, although I was the only router on a particular channel to begin with.
I am about to ring up BT tomorrow to request yet another homehub. Before I do I was hoping that someone would be able to help. In the entire time I was with Virgin for 2 years, I think I lost connection maybe 2 or 3 times over 2 years with their supplied netgear router. This is why I really feel the fault is with the router and not the line. I am not against just buying a new router, so any suggestions that people have used with BT would also help.
See below for my router ADSL settings and also speed test results.

Mac Mini drops internet connection (ethernet)

Hi
I have a brand new mac mini w/ mac Os 10.5.2. I connect to the internet via ethernet: it works fine for some time (30 mins, 2 hours) then, apparently for no special reason, it drops the connection and I need to reboot to restore it. It is connected to a switch hub with other devices (macBook, AppleTv) that continue to work fine, so it is not an ISP issue. After rebooting the problem occurs with higher frequency, i.e. connection lasts for shorter and shorter periods then reboot is needed every other 5 mins.
I have no clue whether it is a hardware or software problem -- please help.
Thank you

Hi Keith
Thank you for your message - I figure it should be something like what you are saying. I am still kind of puzzled to why it connects OK with iBook, even when it is connected alone and/or together with AppleTV and/or macMini.
I have another macMini (PowerPC) at the office connected to same hub type (same ISP, same hardware) and I never experienced a problem like that although we are using it with other iMac's on the same network.
I will give it a try and get a router to see if your suggestion is right.
Thank you again,
macko d.
