DSL Connection disconnecting every minute

I'm having major issues. I'm in California and as of 6:20pm August 2nd, 2009. My connection has been disconnecting every minute. I restarted my computer and turned my modem off. When I'm browsing through the Internet it disconnects me, and when I try to browse through websites it says "Waiting for website" its getting really annoying. Is there disconnecting issues to anyone in California, especially Southern California?
Keep in mind I've never had this sort of problem before. Is like Verizon doing some kind of work on their DSL lines?

Here is what most of all that stuff means..
Margin (dB) - Signal to noise margin. 6 is pretty bad possibly unusable at times, 20 is very good. You normally want 12dB or better IIRC from back in my DSL days. The higher the number, the better to a point.
Line Attenuation - Measure the amount the signal has degraded. Below 20dB is excellent, above 50 is poor, fill in the dots for anything in between.
Transmit Power - The higher the number, the more power is required to transmit. This number will vary based on the other numbers.

When I plug in ipod, it connects/disconnects every second, forever..Win-7

My ipod worked fine when I was running XP, but when I changed to Windows 7 (32bit), it started doing this thing where it would disconnect and connect every second, for as long as it's little heart desired.
i tried:
-letting it die
-restarting it
-all possible solutions provided by itunes help
-putting it into disk mode
-reformatting it (it worked on dad's comp: win xp)
other facts:
-it still charges
-still plays music when not connected to computer

Having the same problem with Vista Ultimate 64 bit. Started about a month ago. Gen 1 iPod video that I have updates and connects fine, just not my 4Gen Nano. Sent it in for repair, they sent me back a different one, having the same problem.

Westell Model 327W DSL connection in and out today about every 10 minutes

Anyone else in Eastern MA having the same problem today?

Yes, still having service problems this morning. Losing and regaining my DSL connection about every 5 to 10 minutes. Very discouraging. Can't do anything unless I time it perfectly to fit in between the constant ups and downs. I tried to notify Verizon of the problem by phone yesterday, but no luck with their robotic phone system.

Airport keep disconnecting every few minutes

Hi,
I don't know why, but my airport keeps disconnecting every few minutes, although it reconnects after that.
I'm sure there's no problem with my router since other PCs in my home are fine.
It's totally fine when I use my windows in the macbook (via bootcamp).
Anyone has the same problem or anyone knows the solution?
Thanks.

I've had this issue for about a week and it has made my Macbook nearly impossible to use for anything other than local disk work.
Last night I tried running the standalone upgrade and it worked beautifully, however, upon booting up this AM I'm back to square one, constantly dropping the connection, ran the standalone update again and back in business with no drops.
While this is appears to be my temp workaround I don't want to be doing this on a daily basis.

Skype Disconnected Every Few Minutes

I upgrade my service from wireless to uverse and that includes phone, cable and internet. Since then I noticed that when I am on a call on Skype, I get disconnected every few minutes even though I am still connected to the internet. Didn't have this problem before.

I've been having the same problem, and so I tried the solution suggested above. However, I still get disconnected after being away from my computer for just a few minutes. Although we have wireless and I thought that perhaps this is the reason I get disconnected, my husband can be using the internet on his computer at the exact time that I get disconnected, so I know that I'm not losing the wireless signal. Any other suggestions?
Thanks
Katherine

ICHAT disconnects every five minutes...

My iChat disconnects every 5-10 minutes saying the connection was lost -- even though the browser still works! This only happens at my home with my wireless router.
Everywhere else I've used iChat (on other connections) it stays connected..
HELP!

Hi,
Welcome to the  Discussions
A Browser and even the Mail app if you use it only use the internet now and then.
For Mail this is when mail is collected or sent.
For a Web Browser it is each time you change page (Some pages automatically refresh to keep the adverts up to date)
You may only notice a slight pause in a browser if it is waiting for the Internet to come back.
iChat is a truly "Always ON" app
With any Buddy list that logs in to AIM it will instantly indicate any change in status of a Buddy (On-line, Off line, Status message Changes).
As a result any issue with the Internet connection no matter how short will normally get the buddy list to fold (say Disconnected).
If this Home router is Wifi try changing the channel it uses so not to get interference from other nearby devices.

Yes, attached to the Westell 6300 is a D-Link wireless router WBR 1310. I don't have a house phone. I have a separate telephone line for the fax machine, and it has a DSL filter attached to it. I don't know what a micro-filter is.
Thanks!

Why does my mouse keep losing connection every minute

why does my mouse keep losing connection every minute, its not the batteries

I'm having the same issue. Every so often it loses connection then re establishes. This goes on repeatedly.
If you change batteries while the computer is still active then it takes for ever to re connect.
Can't wait until someone replies to your question.

Did you try upgrading them to the latest (1 week ago released) firmware update 1.1.0.4?

Apple mail will not recieve emails without delay. Going offline is not working. Connection Doctor is successfull. Mail check set to every minute.

I am using Apple mail on my Imac. My emails are coming in but always late...the delay varies from 15 minutes to over an hour.
Im using imap...email hosting is via Godaddy. (imap.secureserver.net) I would normally blame Godaddy, but I use the same account on my Iphone... yet their is no problems whatsoever. I set them up using the exact same information.
- Mail check is set to every minute.
- Connection Doctor successfully connects right away for both incoming and outgoing.
- Closing the program and reopening does not work... Nor does going offline and checking for mail.
- Check mail button does nothing...literally nothing.
Currently using Yosemite 10.10.2
Any help would be greatly appreciated!:)

Delete the GoDaddy account from Internet Accounts (make sure to select Remove All)
Locate the Cached folder, after you find the com.apple.mail folder, delete everything inside the cache (all folders and files)
Restart your machine
Re-add your email account from within Apple Mail: Mail - Accounts... - Add Other Account
Fill out your account info fully, re-launch Mail

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.

My ichat keeps disconnecting every 5 minutes.

I got a new router and my internet and everything is working fine except for my iChat, which keeps disconnecting every couple of minutes. It's getting pretty annoying as it signs me off in the middle of a conversation. How do I fix it?

TC loses DSL connection on occasion, but defintely at 10:05pm every night

I'm experiencing "hiccups" in my connection. Many of them are random, but for the past 3 nights, at 10:05, the TC has lost my DSL connection and then picked it back up 1-2 minutes later. There's the obvious culprit of the DSL company, but I also wonder if there might be settings in the TC that could contribute to this. Any ideas?

Xian,
Just a stab in the dark, but try the following:
Launch Airport Utility.
Select your TC on the left.
Click "Manual Setup".
With "Airport" selected in the toolbar, click the "Access" tab on the far right.
What is selected for "MAC Address Access Control"?
Also, are there any wireless devices with their MAC addresses listed in the pane below?
If so one of them might be the Mac in question. Try removing it, clicking "Update", and seeing if that makes any difference.
Otherwise, it may be that an electrical event in the home is created a spike at that moment in time. Do you have any timed events going on in the home at that time of night? Maybe sprinklers or other automated devices coming on or off?
Cheers!

TS1398 iPad 2 keeps losing wifi connection about every 3 minutes no matter where I am in my house. Very annoying. help?

iPad 2 keeps losing wifi connection about every 3 mins no matter where I am in the house - Help?

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
