Why have I lost network connection on iPad in certain areas ?
I recently lost connection to my network in a certain area of my home, where I had connection before on my iPad2. The only change has been that my wife recently got the newest version of iPad4.
The ipad 2 uses only 2.4ghz .. the later ones can use either 2.4 or 5ghz.
If you leave the ipad 4 off does that make any difference to the dark areas?
Did the iOS upgrade result in any changes.. ? although you say nothing changed I think you will find there are wireless issues on the latest OS. But I am not an ipader.. so you will need to look it up.
What I would do.
Reset the TC to factory and start again.
Use SMB names, for TC, wireless and hard disk. (to be thorough). ie short, no spaces, pure alphanumeric.
Give a different name to the 5ghz wireless.
Use the radio channels control to fix 2.4ghz and test channels 1, 6, 11 and stick with the best one.
5ghz you can leave auto.
Use WPA2 Personal security as the only security which is designed for N wireless. -
Poor performance and now dropping connection
I am very underwhelmed by performance since switching to infinity FTTC last year. Download speed is very variable and I just cannot get an upload speed much better than 1.1 Mb/s.
Now we have a regularly dropping connection. Last Saturday morning we had a thunderstorn with heavy downpour and phone line dropped completely - no dialtone and unsurprisingly no broadband. Did a line check from my mobile - all fine and no reported problems in the area. I phoned BT and got an Indian who just repeated what the website told me and said couldn't get an engineer for 4 days! Phone came back late the same afternoon and a little while later broadband came up but connection was up and down like a yo-yo. After 4 days of sunshine when the engineer turned up broadband had been up solid from 3 am and phone was fine. Engineer did more detailed tests which showed no problem and reckoned our problem must have been fixed, and that reason broadband had been dropping was because of computerised checks due to reported fault which would cause line to drop.
For a few days all was fine, although performance still underwheliming, until we had another downpour yesterday morning. Phone line stayed up, although a little crackly, but once again broadband started dropping regularly. Since then it has gradually improved (no more rain).
My suspicion is (and always has been) that with the heavy rain water is getting into a connection somewhere. How do I go about communicating it to BT support (I can't even find a web page or number for reporting broadband problems) this fact and actually getting someone to look into it properly? I rejected the "fault reported fixed" on the tracking your fault web page but so far nothing.
I am distinctly unimpressed with BT support and unless this gets fixed soon I am seriously thinking of switching to fibre to the home with Virgin (despite hating Branson) especially as the move from Yahoo mail to BT mail has not been smooth and the BT webmail is full of bugs (which again I cannot find any way of reporting).Thanks. I tried that. Broadband up and down regularly until the day the engineer came. Day before had intermittent heavy crackling on the line and calls dropping. Day he came all is fine and of course his diagnostics checks come back all clear. Apparently, or so he told me, they are not allowed to work on our line unless the checks show a fault...which they didn't.
I've just had 24 hours of our broadband working but just now it's started dropping regularly again.
I am getting very frustrated/annoyed. What do I do now? How do they expect to solve the problem if it isn't constant and they can't get an engineer to look at it within 3 or 4 days? Do I just keep on calling our an engineer until by chance it happens to hit a problem while they're on site? Not good for customer satisfaction and surely it must cost them to keep sending out an engineer! -
New Airport Extreme (6th Gen) Dropping Connection from Time to Time.
Problem:
6th Generation Airport Extreme drops connection intermittently at random times.
Set Up:
6th Generation Airport Extreme (main router - no hard drive/not a time capsule) located center of house on the main floor. 2 Range extenders each approximately 30+ feet away from main router. First range extender (Airport Express - newest generation) located on the third floor parallel to main. Second range extender (Airport Express - new generation) is located at the end of the kitchen (main floor).
Main Router is connected straight from a Motorolla Surfboard modem on a foyer table at the center of the house.
Range extenders connected to Main Router wirelessly and at wall outlett height.
Previous Setup:
Same setup as above but, with the 5th Generation Airport Extreme instead of the 6th Generation.
Firmware:
All current versions.
Devices:
1 SONY VAIO VGN-FW490J
HP Notebook G60
Several WEMO outlets
1 iPad Mini
1 iPad 2
1 iPhone 5
1 Motorolla RAZR MAXX
Macbook Pro
iMac (wired from main router on foyer table)
Note: All of these routers/range extenders/modem/computers are plugged into surge protected outlets.
Notes:
With the new Airport Extreme my family and I have been experiencing intermettent connection drops. The amber light on the main router turns on and within a few minutes turns green and connection resumes again. This has been happening for a few days now ever since I purchased the new router. This has not happened before with the 5th generation router, which I donated to our church.
I have not exchanged the product yet. I will be initiating a Complete Power Recycle after some suggested solutions in a bit. I have contacted my Internet Service Provider (Comcast) for a line check and found no problems.
Has anyone found any solutions to resolve the intermittent connection drops? Is reverting to the previous firmware going to solve this?
I would like some insights before trying to do all this. Thank you all for your time.
P.s.
I've done a detailed post since posts like these is frequently asked questions on set-up, devices, connections, etc:Update:
Before I went to exchange my 6th Gen Extreme, I ran through all possible solutions from complete power recycle to no devices connected. I even went out of my way to my cousin's house to test it out. The same problem still kept coming.
I was able to exchange my 6th Gen Airprt Extreme with another 6th Gen Extreme the other day. I set it up how the instructions told me and within an hour it did the exact same problem as the previous 6th Gen Extreme. I gave up and decided to get the ASUS RT-AC66R (ASUS RT-AC66U is the same, just the 'R' is Best Buy's model.)
The ASUS router is just as great as the 6th Gen Router. You can actually get it down to $180 by price matching to Amazon. The ASUS router has 3 antennas that you can adjust according to where the signal is used more. I pointed them more towards the backyard, upstairs, and the living room. The range is by far better than the Extreme because of this. I was able to drive down a good block (3-4 houses down) and still connected to my router. Also it has 2 USB ports which was fantastic for me so I can plug in my external hard drive and a non-wireless printer. It has many more features that I really liked that I didn't even know was possible. The router utility interface is a bit confusing at first but, it's pretty easy once you get the hang of it.
Some features that I liked with the ASUS was the ability to have multiple guest network with time limits. 3 for 2.4gHz and 3 for 5gHz. I think that Airport guest accounts are only allowed 2.4gHz but not a 5gHz. Though I only needed 1 for each but, I can see this working well for businesses.
Another feature is traffic manager. I am able to set specific bandwith for different types of use such as, high priority 80%-100% bandwith for gaming, medium priority badwith 70%-90% for HD media streaming/data transfer, and 50%-80% low bandwith for casual web surfing. It also has it's own "beamforming" so that data isn't free roamed.
Lastly it has AiCloud sync which is basically like having a hard drive into your router but, much like having a Dropbox at the same time.
More or less I think I'll stick with the ASUS router rather than going with the new Airport Extreme. I think that it's more on firmware issue than it is hardware. If you are not willing to switch to another brand and want to keep staying with Apple, I recommend going back to the 5th generation until a new firmware or rebuilt 6th gen extreme is out.
I have not found any problem with the ASUS router and no intermittent connectivity issues.
Now I am not trying to make you buy the ASUS router. I'm merely expressing how great the product is.
I do have 60 days from Best Buy return policy to try out the ASUS (and report of any malfuntions) and if within that time a new firmware is out for the Extreme. I highly doubt I'll go back to the extreme though.
Hope this helped!! -
Firefox 3.5 and up randomly drop connections
Greetings! The problem I'm having is: Every time I've tried to install and use Firefox 3.5 and up, as I'm browsing the web and I go to, say, click on a link, Firefox will randomly "drop" the connection. It'll pause for 10-15 seconds, then pop up a generic "cannot find server" message. I then go to reload the page, and for another 10-15 seconds it won't even attempt a connection -- it'll just instant-reload with the same generic "cannot find server" message. After that, it will mysteriously be able to connect just fine... for about 2-5 minutes. The problem repeats... over and over...
I should mention that I constantly have a "ping www.rr.com" window open in the background, and even when Firefox is "unable to connect", the ping window shows my connection is just fine. All of my other programs are able to connect just fine as well -- only Firefox 3.5+ or programs based off of Firefox 3.5+ (SeaMonkey 2.x) have this problem.
Thinking it might be an addon problem, I've completely uninstalled (even using Revo Uninstaller) and reinstalled Firefox 3.5+, and even with absolutely no extensions installed, it still randomly drops connections.
This problem also happens on my netbook PC, again with a fresh Firefox install (even on a fresh Windows format + install) and a solid ISP connection.
I can confirm encountering this problem with Firefox 3.5.4, 3.5.5, 3.6.6, and even with SeaMonkey 2.0.3 and 2.0.5. On the other hand, Firefox versions 2.0.0.20 and SeaMonkey 1.1.18 are NOT affected by this problem.
I hope this problem can be resolved soon, since sites like Youtube are starting to really dislike Firefox 2.0, and I'd like to use up-to-date browser extensions. :(

Verizon DSL connection drops connection randomly, already on second modem.
We are currently running an D-link DSL-2750B modem/router in our home. Typically we run close to 6MBps. We are having very bad stability issues with our modem. we have tried changing how it is connected to outlets, how it is connected to computers, everything. Currently I have my pc connected to it through lan, and it is the only device connected to internet right now. I seem to just drop connection and have to restart my modem, this has been an issue with two modems, the same type, that they have sent us. Before we were only getting 1MBPS while paying for 7MBPS, the issue magicaly fixed it self after a call to verizon. So to ilistarte how large this problem is, I have two tracroutes, one to verizons website and one to the online server of a game I play. Notice that on all the traceroutes on hop 5 we have a time out right after the same ip,

Airport either unable to connect or drops connection
We have had our IMac a little over one year and are now starting to have problems. On startup Airport shows connection to my wireless router but after starting to download a web site or e-mail the connection drops off even though it shows that it is connected on the Network page. Checking the popup in the upper right hand corner shows Airport searching for a connection and then dropping off continually. At other times the Network page shows 'no network selected' and my wireless system is not listed in the drop down menu; I can select it on the page under Advanced and bring it to the menu but when it is selected it doesn't stay in the window. The Apply button does not light up. I also get a popup saying that "None of your preferred networks are available" and "connection timeout". I have two pc's in the same room, a laptop and a desktop that connect to the system with no problem. Has Apple ever acknowledged that they have a problem?
Hi Carolyn: Thank you for your response. I attempted to change channels as you suggested but when I clicked on Airport Utility it did a scan and came up with:
"Airport Utility unable to find any Airport wireless device" so I was unable to proceed to the next step. I flashed my router, ie, reloaded the router program and was able to get the iMac to connect for a short time; long enough to open my home page and download four e-mails and then it reverted to problem A wherein the Network page shows a connection complete with site ID but there is no internet connection. While it was connected I tried again with Airport Utility and had the same result. I have tried deleting the System Config files and restarting based on info found elsewhere in the thread; it worked for a while the first time I did it but not after that. My iMac is currently an expensive piece of electronic junk. If I can get it to stay connected long enough I will try downloading the update 10.6.3x and see if that helps any. If you have any further suggestions please advise. -
Some healthcheck.htm requests do not respond (dropped connection)
Hi,
Several (most) of the services on our Exchange server don't return a valid response when querying their "health check" URL.
These are OK:
- /ecp/healthcheck.htm (200 OK)
- /owa/healthcheck.htm (200 OK)
- /powershell/healthcheck.htm (200 OK)
But these fail with an instantly dropped connection:
- /autodiscover/healthcheck.htm
- /ews/healthcheck.htm
- /mapi/healthcheck.htm
- /Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync/healthcheck.htm
- /oab/healthcheck.htm
- /rpc/healthcheck.htm
There are no errors or warnings noted in the event logs, and all services work normally for all users, but I don't see the failed requests in IIS' logs.
What can be causing this?
Thanks!Hi,
According to your description, the health check URL cannot work for certain requests. And I’d like to confirm if there is any connection issue for your clients.
Based on my research, here is a similar thread:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/ie/en-US/e9ee04de-9b62-44e7a-85db-3fff160dddd2/healthcheckhtm-not-accessible-for-several-protocols?forum=exchangesvradmin
We can try to restart Exchange Health Manager service to resolve the issue as the above thread.
Thanks,

Slow internet speeds and dropping connection
hello, I am making this post on behalf of my dad, for a good few months (5-6 maybe even longer) we have been experiencing slow internet speeds and a dropping connection when ever the phone is picked up. when an incoming call is answered some or all devices connected to the internet drop out for a second then come back online, the connection does not completly disapear but causes any voice chat, streaming or gaming to disconect. We have BT wireless phones (not sure what exact type) which we have had for a few years. they are connected through an ADSL filter which as far i can remember has been there for years. We have a netgear DG834GT router which has also been there for a few years. I went onto its settings and got this information, not sure if its usefull or not.

Severe drop connection (10-12 times a day) and slow internet
Hello, I am getting very frequent dropped connections (between 10-12 a day). My internet connection is very slowwwwwww. I cannot even stream a YouTube video without pausing it and waiting about 10 minutes for the video to completely load before playing it. Most websites take over 30 seconds to load and some won't load at all because it says that it timed out. I have tried using IE8 and Google Chrome and Firefox....the same result on all browsers. I am running a brand new Verizon GT701C modem and a brand new Belkin 926 router. I am hard wired into the Belkin. I bought a new modem and router because I thought maybe my equipment was too dated, but I am still having the same severe problems. I feel like I am on dial -up all over again. Thanks in advanced for any help. Here is the system log report from my modem :

SOLVED: Dropped connections with Time Capsule and cable modem/router
I've been dealing with random dropped connections for quite a while and I thought that it would be useful to share what I've found.
I was having a very puzzling problem where my internet connection would drop randomly on wireless devices. On my laptop, webpages would suddenly become unresponsive for a minute or two, Mail would have connection problems and complain, etc...but incredibly randomly and definitely not repeatable or in any pattern that I noticed.
I also have 2 Nest thermostats in the house which connect via wi-fi. I noticed that they would randomly show Offline very often when viewed from a webpage or iPhone app, but the Nest front panels showed that they were connected with a strong signal.
As I said, the dropped connections were very sporadic. Most of the time, everything worked, but every once in a while...bam.
I worked with the level 3 tech support guys at Nest for over a week to figure out what was going on. We went through settings on my router and Time Capsule and everything seemed proper and okay. I even replaced the Nests with new ones but still had the same problem. We were all completely stumped.
Yesterday, my laptop dropped it's connection at the same time my wife's laptop dropped hers. At this point, I wondered if something was wrong with the Time Capsule or maybe my internet provider.
I called AppleCare to see if they could help with debugging the problem. They passed me up to a senior wi-fi tech and he asked me many questions about the configuration of my network. My home network looked like this yesterday (see crappy diagram below)
Motorola Cable modem/router
|
Netgear multiport switch
| | | | |
hardwired Macs, TimeCapsule (bridge mode)
laser printers, | | | | |
Apple TVs laptops, Nest, iphones
This configuration seemed correct to me. The Time Capsule in bridge mode would mean that the cable modem/router would be handling DHCP so all the devices would be on the same network and I could print from a laptop to one of my printers and the laptops could connect to the hardwired Macs, etc..
The AppleCare technician said he thought that bridge mode was the problem. He mentioned that there was a known issue that in this configuration, the IP addresses could get lost between the cable modem/router and the Time Capsule. He said it would be best if the Time Capsule was in DHCP/NAT mode and the first device before the switch, this way the Time Capsule was the only device passing out IP addresses.
So I repatched my network like this:
Motorola Cable modem/router
|
TimeCapsule (DHCP/NAT mode)
| | | | | |
Netgear multipart switch laptops, Nest, iphones
| | | |
hardwired Macs,
laser printers,
Apple TVs
I can tell you that in the past 24 hours, I haven't seen anything lose a connection. Not even the Nests which seemed be on and off all the time. And, in this configuration, all the devices are on the same network and able to speak to each other.
I hope that helps someone.So you're saying that Bridge Mode not functioning properly is a well known issue?
Not to me.. I have not had issues with the TC in bridge. And it is my prefered setup. I think it is better as a wireless AP and network hard disk than a router any day of the week.. but there are other ways to skin the cat if it is proving unreliable. I am at the moment using a wireless bridge from the Gen4 TC to a Gen4 AE upstairs for TV internet streaming.. it started off very reliable.. but of late I guess I need to reboot it every few days. And it has required a full reset two or three times.. although I probably need to take some of the blame for those. I am not over worried.. i do not believe in wireless bridges except for the most interim of arrangements.. it will be wired in ethernet ASAP.
Wireless should always be used in a way that respects its status as voodoo.. not stable technology. NOT SCIENCE.. it is more a bag of beads and rattles.
Is there a way to change the cable modem/router to avoid the double NAT problem?
The answer to this may depend on your ISP. Did they provide the modem? If so they may lock it down so you have no control. But normally a Motorola cable modem will not have a bridge mode as such but will have a method of turning off NAT.. (and wireless).. this amounts to the same thing.
Once you turn off NAT.. you need to power cycle the modem so the TC gets the public IP in router mode. The power cycle time might be 5min or 20min or overnight.. it again depends on your ISP.. but you need to stop the modem capturing the public IP so it can be passed to the modem.
Depending on where you are in the world.. US is most concentration of cable network.. you can go out and buy your own modem. Pick one on your ISP list and steer clear of SB.. at least with the apple routers they are problematic.
It also can be a case that the cable modem is SB model and therefore more problematic. Sorry I have forgotten the recommendation for what to buy. There are a number of posts here about it but search is terrible now. (or I am too old to figure it out). I will get Bob to poke his nose in and tell you what works for him. -
WRT610n dropping connection thread
This is the problem we see the most on different forums.
People report that using both bands with some heavy traffic make the unit to drop connections. Yet the heat is suspected and some have managed to get rid of that problem by allowing the unit to run cooler.
If you are experiencing dropping connections, can you try to find a way to cool the unit (without voiding the warranty) and report if you still experience the problem? Maybe a fan blowing air directly on the unit.
This is a brand new router and may have not been fully tested with large tranfer on both bands simultanously where heat is more susceptible to occur with the CPU running non-stop.I posted my experiences in a few other forums, but since this is the official Linksys forum I'll post here, too.
I got my WRT610N a few weeks ago, primarily to use the 5GHz 802.11n radio to stream 1080p HD content to an HTPC. The initial setup was easy, as I'm an IT consultant and have had my fair share of experience with consumer routers such as this.
After about two weeks of near perfect functionality, my router suddenly started dropping the wireless connection every time I tried to stream HD content or do a significant file transfer that lasted over an extended period of time. Because the HTPC was actively streaming the HD content real-time, there was constant 2-3MB/sec activity -- I was able to get halfway through a movie before I started getting incessant dropped connections. I tried upgrading to the latest Build 18 firmware, but did not see any improvement.
In a room with ambient temperatures in the high 70's, I felt the router with my hand and found that it was quite hot -- the bottom especially, was clearly hotter than it should have been. After fumbling around with different configuration settings (disabling WMM, etc.) I eventually found that completely disabling the 2.4GHz radio partially alleviated the problem. However, on a particularly hot Summer day the problem happened to me again, even with the 2.4GHz radio disabled.
I had read countless posts of people with the same problems -- despite multiple hours of telephone calls with the highest level of tech support, the Linksys people were unable to help to solve the problem. Which is pretty understandable, really, seeing that I believe this to mainly be a hardware design problem where the case simply doesn't have enough airflow to effectively cool the dual radios.
Anyways, since I'm technically inclined, I decided to fix the problem myself. I took apart the router (which voided the warranty.. don't do this!) and installed some slim-profile heat sinks on the metal shields that covered the hottest chips on the board. I also replaced the only heat sink installed at the factory with a larger one. I installed all of the heat sinks with Arctic Silver Alumina Adhesive Thermal Paste.
Additionally, I fashioned up a base stand with a quiet 120mm fan positioned directly under the router, forcing air up through the holes in the bottom of the router, around the heat sinks installed over the hot chips, and out of the top vents near the antennas. This provided decent air circulation within the unit.
Afterward, I setup a stress test to run overnight. One client connected via the 5GHz radio, and was queued to transfer around 100GB at ~10MB/sec, without stop. Another client connected via the 2.4GHz radio, and was queued to transfer 50GB. A final client connected via the GigE switch, and was queued to transfer 180GB at around ~65MB/sec.
I woke up in the morning and found that all transfers had completed successfully without a single hitch the entire night. I touched the router with my hand about an hour after the start of the test, and found that it was not hot at all -- in fact it was barely warm to the touch.
Anyways, that was last week and since then I've streamed multiple movies and done multiple file transfers without any hitches. I'm not telling people to void their warranty's, and I'm not responsible if you try this yourself and screw up your router. I'm just providing evidence that strongly supports my hypothesis that the WRT610N connection drop issues are due to overheating, and can't simply be fixed with firmware updates.
To Linksys: I suggest you look into a better method of cooling this router. On a slim device, such as the WRT610N, which can't be stood on its side for better airflow, and which runs dual wireless radios simultaneously, a single, small heat sink on one of the chips just doesn't cut it. Also, if you do a hardware revision and want to send me a new one for helping out, let me know .
Here are some pics of the base stand I made. I didn't take pics of the heat sinks and it's probably better I don't post that here anyways...

Server dropped connection without sending the initial SMTP greeting
Whenever anyone tries to send email to addresses from the domain 'cwbank.com' they receive the error emessage:
connect to smtp.ab.tac.net[216.123.224.167]: server dropped connection without sending the initial SMTP greeting
If I use other mail servers, the message goes through without a hitch.
Prior to this week we could send email to this domain.
Port 25 is open on the receiving server (216.123.224.167).
A few weeks ago, we were 'blacklisted' because another server on the same subnet was spamming. And a few ISPs (Godaddy, 1and1, etc.) blacklisted the whole subnet instead of the offending IP. We don't seem to be having any more problems with getting RBL rejections anymore. Typically those error messages were returned as '550 RBL rejection' errors. I'm wondering if this might be related.
Any other thoughts on the subject?Well, the other thing that could be happening is that the mail servers at these 4 IPs might have their own hardwired IP block on some range of IPs that you are in. We know that is not being done at their firewall (you can connect and get the greeting), but might be done with, for example, a postfix config that prohibits connections from certain IP ranges.
There's another possibility, namely, that they are picky about DNS config. Your IP of 68.150.192.151 seems to have a good reverse DNS PTR record that matches the SMTP HELO greeting when I telnet to your server:
mail:~ admin$ telnet 68.150.192.151 25

Connected to ns.boxclever.ca.
Escape character is '^]'.

and, reverse DNS:

Maybe they won't talk to any server whose name given in the Reverse DNS PTR record doesn't have an A Record that matches. You might want to check that.

10.7.3 MBP Wifi Problem - Endless Timeouts & Dropped connections
I've been reading around here a bit already and so I know many other people are having Wifi issues with Lion, but given that there are so many discussions and so many pages of talk, it's hard to go through it all, and using the search I haven't found anything that's quite similar to what I'm experiencing, so I'm starting a new topic...
Basically, I've got a late 2006 MacBook Pro, installed 10.7.1 (form 10.6.8) on in back in Aug 2011 and everything seemed to be fine. I updated to 10.7.2 sometime in Jan and still didn't notice any issues, but wasn't using Wifi at all at the time.
Then in Feb I moved and started using wifi (with a Cisco N router), and noticed that often, the system would not automatically reconnect to the network after waking up from sleep. Just selecting the network manually worked on the first try every time though, so it wasn't so bad.
At the end of April, I finally got around to installing the 10.7.3 update. I read it was supposed to fix wifi issues and so was looking forward to it. It installed fine and didn't seem to cause any problems...
2 days later I moved again (to India), and all **** broke loose... Now, I can rarely connect to wifi (a Beetel G router, configed with WPA). Around 25% of the time, the network won't show up in the list (despite being a clear 5ft from the base station), and when it does show up, 95% of the time I get a "connection timeout" error - often immeadiately, but sometimes it takes about 10sec to respond. On the same network, 2 Win 7 Dells and an iPad 1 all work flawlessly - it's not the router...
One the occasions that I am able to connect, it usually works fine, but if I put the computer to sleep and wake up again, there's no guarentee that the connection will work again - it's back to the lottery. And sometimes even when it's connected, the wifi stays (according to the menu indicator) but the internet connection disappears (to the point I can't even ping the router - 100% packet loss, let alone any internet server)
I've tried zapping everything I can think of (PRAM, SMC), repairing permissions, clearing the remembered networks from the System Prefs, deleting old Locations and creating new ones etc. I have a clean install of 10.7.1 that I booted off of, but it still had the same issues!

I'm pretty savy with computers and have dealt with all kinds of stuff before, but this one is beyond me, and is really annoying! I konw my machine is old, but it was totally useable up until these Wifi issues, and now wifi is basically useless.
From what I've read, it seems like its a driver issue with the Atheros card in my machine, but most people seem to be complaining about dropped connections (mine rarely drops) rather than timeout connection issues. I've also never had the "hardware not found" issue that many people have, so I think this is something different.
Anyone out there have any advice? I'm getting close to losing it with wifi since the update!Sorry - to add:
I don't think it's a question of WPA vs. WPA2, or even channel number - I have 2 identical routers here and neither work (both default to WPA Ch 11) but I changed one to WPA2, new SSID, various channels and still had the same problems.
Another thing to note that should be irrelevant, but who knows: the Firewire controller on my machine died back in Fall 2010 - to the point where the system won't start-up unless I remove the IOFirewire***.kext from /System/Library/Extensions , and as soon as I do that, it works flawlessly (minus Firewire). It meant I had a **** of a time installing Lion becuase I can't boot off the Recovery Partition (which has the drivers baked into it), but by cloneing my HD, installing Lion onto the clone via a borrowed machine, removing the .kext's and cloning back, I got it on and everything seems to be fine otherwise... I posted about that problem before, but never got any answers. And it wasn't just me, my father has a late 2007 MBP and the same firewire issue happened to his within 5 days of mine (not a power spike - I think it was shortly after some system update if I remember correctly).
