EA6900 dropped wi-fi connection once every 1-2 weeks - some devices only

Everything was working great with my EA6900 until I changed the SSID names for the two bands. Had to do this so I could install a dual band belkin range extender in area of home that needed boost in wi-fi.
Since I made that change, some of my devices lose their wi-fi connection.
The only way to fix is to reboot router and the devices not connecting.
Would be nice to fix this issue if someone can help me.
Thanks

On some the connecting devices you may have to get them to forget the network first.
Also for troubleshooting you should power off the Belkin extender for isolation. Then after testing power up the extender and see if the issue reappears.
Please remember to Kudo those that help you.

EA6900 drops 2.4 GHz wifi every other day

Hey,
my EA6900 (firmware version 1.1.42.158863) drops the 2.4 GHz network every other day or so. At that point, all connected devices lose the network connection and cannot connect again until I manually reset the router. This is a big pain in the **bleep**.
Here is what this looks like on a Linux client:

How do I fix this?
I've enabled automatic router firmware updates, but this has not helped over the last weeks.
Thanks in advance,
Robert

There is a bunch of people with this router ( me included) that are having issues with the wireless dropping out. Some more than others as far as the frequency of it. I have a ticket open with them and have been talking to them every few days about it. One thing I discovered the other day that has stopped it from dropping connections on the 2.4 is to set the mode to G only. I have given this info to linksys and they are supposed to get back to me by tomorrow with some more info. I am assuming it is the same problem as yours: everything is working fine then all of a sudden devices start to disconnect randomly. An my laptops it shows as the SSID is available but it wont connect to it. Only way to get back on is to reboot the router. As suggested by linksys the security is set to WPA2 Personal and the bandwidth is set to 20 mHz instead of auto. There was a big thread about this starting to happen when the last update came out that went from 1.1.42.156465 to 1.1.42.158863. If the Auto update was checked it got the update and started to disconnect wireless stuff. Might want to see what hardware version your is, the 1.0 came with the 1.1.42.156465 so if yours has updated to the newer one you could roll back and see if it gets better. there is a go back to last version button on the UI. but if you have the hw ver 1.1 it came with the updated version and we have been told not to go back as it may brick the router. here is the thread: http://community.linksys.com/t5/Wireless-Routers/EA6900-New-Firmware-1-1-42-158863/td-p/770985

My Mac Mini loses wifi connectivity once every other hour...

I noticed last night that web pages in Safari weren't loading at all, and that my Internet kept disconnecting me every couple of minutes. I restarted Time Capsule thinking it was the culprit. A few minutes later, the same symptoms persisted. This time, I simply turned Mac Mini wifi off and on, and that seemed to temporarily work each time. So that led me to believe that Time Capsule was fine, and that something was happened to my Mac Mini that required me to disconnect and reconnect to the network. Today, I've purposely been streaming music from the web to see how long it takes to lose signal. It hasn't been every few minues like last night. However, it's been just about every two hours. I turn the Mac Mini wifi off then on - and it's fixed. So what might be causing this? I will say the Internet speed is great when it works. But it's either there - or it isn't.
Thank you!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

My airport express frequently drops the internet connection. Once I unplug it and re-plug it in, everything is fine until it drops the signal again. This happens on a regular basis. Is there anything I can do ensure it maintains the internet connection?

My airport express frequently drops the internet connection. Once I unplug it, and re-plug it in, my Macbook Pro17,IMac 24, iPad air and my wife's Acer 15 works fine until it drops the signal again. This happens on a regular basis. Is there anything I can do ensure it maintains the internet connection?

It is tricky..
But yes it can be done as long as you use a different IP subnet to what is being used for the internet..
So I need to know what modem router you have?? Does it have wireless as that would make it very easy?
What IP is the computer getting?
Then I can give you the details to setup wireless statically on a different subnet.

I keep getting the "connect to itunes" screen and have to restore my ipad. it will also drop the wifi connection every few mintues. what can be causing this?

I keep getting the "connect to itunes" screen and have to connect to itunes and do a restore on it. It will not pick up my ipad so I either have to do a restore or restore to new and it will work fine for a day or so except for dropping the wifi connection. What can be causing this? I have had this pad since January of this year and have not had any problems until recently.

If you have to keep restoring your iPad with iTunes repeatedly and there is no change after restoring as a new iPad or not from the iPad's backup, your iPad has a major problem - likely a hardware problem. The iPad includes a one year warranty. You can call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

Router dropping the internet connection

Hi,
I have a home network with a Linksys E4200 connected to the ISP's fiber box. The problem is that when I'm connected to the Linksys, either wired or wireless, the connection to the internet will drop after what seems to be a random amount of time (normally anywhere from 2-10 minutes). I can restore the connection by doing any of these things:
-reboot Linksys
-disconnect and reconnect cable from router to fiber box
-if on wireless connection, make changes to the router wifi settings, like change the wifi channel.
The internal network stays up, and I can ping both the internal and external ip of the router, but not the fiber box. I have also had the same behavior with an Edimax Wifi AP and less frequently with a Edimax router (once every 1-2 days). I have done everything I can think of:
-changed the wifi channels
-changed the ip ranges, subnets, turned router DHCP off and back on
-booted the fiber box
-changed cables
-updated all routers to the latest firmware, the network cards with latest drivers
...and loads other things that I don't remember right now.
For the wifi side of things, there are no other networks in range that could interfere. The same problem occurs on both my and wife's Win 7 laptops and on the iMac (latest OSX).
Here's a fun detail: while the Linksys has lost its connection to the internet, I can still access the internet through the old Edimax router connected to the same fiber box, either wired or wireless.
Does anyone have any ideas what the cause could be?. I've exhausted all my good ideas so I'd be thankful for any suggestions
Cheers,
-Jens

You can try the following combination of settings:-
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 1400 or less (usually found on your router's main/ basic setup page)
         4] Then go to the Wireless tab, keep network mode as mixed,
For Channel Settings of 2.4 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 6, 9, 11..
For Channel Settings of 5 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 40 or 161...
         5] Then click on Security tab disable SPI Firewall Protection, uncheck Filter Anonymous Internet Requests...
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 user name field blank. This will take you to the router's web interface and then follow steps as mentioned above to make the changes.

MacBook Pro drops Wi-Fi connection after upgrading to 10.6.5. Fixed!

MacBook Pro drops Wi-Fi connection after upgrading to 10.6.5. Airport says no IP is detected then suddenly reconnects?
This has been a problem I’ve been troubleshooting for the last month. I’m new to the Mac family and have loved my experience up until this point. I was under the impression that mac’s are supposed to be so user friendly that even your grandmother could use one with out having any technical knowledge. I mean I shouldn’t have to be deleting drivers or reformat my mac because of an OS update glitch? (That’s what the guy at the Genius Bar told me to do.) What I refused to succumb to was that I’m really good with computers. I get at least a phone call every other week from someone asking me for tech support. So I’d like to think that nothing I’ve done to the system would have caused this anomaly.
After numerous attempts of troubleshooting and researching forms I believe I’ve discovered a solutions that seems to be working for me.
Here are the steps I took to create a consistent connection to my Wi-Fi. I believe it was a combination of all these steps to create success.
1.) Changed my router to use G Wireless Only. (I’m assuming this removed any unnecessary frequencies to allow G to broadcast stronger?)
2.) Did a scan on the other networks in my area to find out what channel everyone else was broadcasting on. Copy and past the text below into a terminal window.
sudo ln -s /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/Current/Resourc es/airport /usr/sbin/airport
This will allow you to simply type “airport” in the terminal window to execute the command.
Type airport –s
This will display all the networks in your area and what channel they are broadcasting on.
3.) Changed my router to use a channel that no one in my area was using. (This helped to make my network stronger and free of interference.)
The last steps will help your home network improve but these next steps I believe helped fix any install errors caused maybe by the 10.6.5 update on my mac.
4.) Boot your Mac into safe mode by holding down the shift key while booting.
5.) Open System Preferences and Click on Network.
6.) Click the drop down menu from Locations at the top of the screen. Click edit locations..
7.) Create a new location by clicking the + and give it a new name.
8.) Delete the old location by clicking on the old locations name and click the – to remove.
9.) Reboot
10.) Open System Preference and click on Network.
11.) Click on the settings sprocket next to the + and – and click on Set Service Order…
12.) Drag Airport to the top of the list of devices then click Ok.
Now this last step is what seemed to eliminate the issue. I hardcoded my IP address to my network. This way my computer will always use the same IP and not have to search.
13.) Click on Advanced under Network.
14.) Click on TCP/IP. Click on the drop down for Configure IPv4 and change it to Manually.
15.) Fill out the fields with your IPv4 Address: 192.168.1.1xx (x=whatever number) Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Router: 192.168.1.1 (All of these settings are pretty standard for most home networks.)
16.) Click on the drop down for Configure IPv6 and change it to Off.
17.) Next click on the DNS tab at the top.
18.) Click the + to add a DNS Record.
To find your DNS Server open a Terminal window by launching Applications --> Utilities --> Terminal
Then Type cat /etc/resolv.conf
(There is a space between cat and /. Without it you’ll get no such file or directory.)
This should return two addresses. Your ISP’s DNS Servers.
19.) Add both records to the DNS and click Ok.
20.) Click Ok then under Network Click Ok.
21.) Reboot router then Mac
22.) Fixed my connection issue
The symptoms I experienced eluded me to believe that something with the DHCP is going into an idle then disconnecting. Before when DHCP was set to automatically assign the network signal would time out then searchers for a new IP resulting in Airport displaying No IP is detected. By setting my IP to a fixed address I still notice a slight drop in bandwidth at moments but because of the assigned IP I never loose connection. I can now stream video, play games, chat all without getting disconnected.
I believe this fix will work for my home network but I also noticed this issue at work so for each location that I connect for the time being I’ll create each there own location and hardcode the IP address to that network. I’ve been reading that 10.6.6 is coming soon so maybe this will be resolved for good in the next update.
Let me know if this helps or if you have any questions.
Best of luck.

I have been having the same issue for the last two weeks. No real indication as to why it ever began other than I had turned off my router and Airport Extreme Base Station off for a weekend while I was away from my place.
iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, all have no issues at all with my Airport Extreme Base Station. Can stay connected throughout my living room, bathroom, bedroom, no issues whatsoever.
My 5 month old MacBook Pro 2.66 GHz Core i7 Airport is sometimes perfect, able to connect, DHCP, and browse without issue. Then, for no reason, I won't be able to join my wireless network, or when I can join, I can't pick up an IP address. And then it will connect, pick up and IP, and then it won't browse. No real rhyme or reason to when this will happen, or when it works.
I thought that it was an issue with my MacBook Pro, but then my sister visited with her brand new MacBook Pro 2.26 Intel Core 2 Duo, and while a month ago she was able to connect, DHCP, and browse without issue, this weekend she had all of the same issues I was having.
My XBOX 360 and MacBook Pro have absolutely no issues with the wired connection. Only my WAN seems to have this issue.
Did you ever find anything more to this?

MacBook Pro continually drops wi-fi connection

My MacBook Pro drops the wi-fi connection at intermittent times all day. Sometimes, only after it goes to sleep. Other times every few minutes. Had Cox check all cable connections. No problem. Geniuses at Apple Store said it's an Apple problem, needs an update. Online Apple support agreed. Incredibly annoying. Only problem I've had.

Since you've only had a week take it back and get a refund. Apple has a 14 day no questions asked return policy. Return it for a refund and buy another or something else that works correctly.

TS3274 My ipad screen is flashing about once every second when plugged in, it wont boot, no logo

I have an ipad first generation. it wont turn on when press the power button. When i plug it into the wall, the screen blinks about once every second. It does not display any logo.
it doesnt seem like i can reset it or put it into recovery mode.
Any suggestions? do you think it has a hardware problem?

Hello oilyragfun, I am having the exact same problem. Did you ever get this resolved?
No history of drops or abuse. When I plug it in the screen just dimly flashes or pulses about once every second. No logo, just the entire screen dimly backlit for a half of a second the blank again. I can't get it to respond with any combination of buttons or reset proceadures.

Will swapping the SIM card once every day damage t...

I have this data dongle with a removable SIM card. Keep it plugged into the laptop all day long. At night, surfing the web is more convenient on the E7 than the laptop, and so I regularly turn off the E7, and replace the SIM card with the one I have in the dongle (haven't subscrived for a data plan on the SIM i use in the phone, cause i always have this laptop with me and paying for two data connections is an overkill, just need it for like 30 mins every night before I fall asleep). Don't really care about the dongle, i will throw it away if it breaks, it's not that expensive. But will removing the SIM card from the phone once every day damage the SIM card tray on the E7? Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

well, looks like investing in a separate data plan is better than 'abusing' a wonderful device. I love my E7. It's a gem of a device. The best Nokia smartphone I've ever owned (and believe me, I've owned a lot of them )
Thanks for your replies everyone, i will subscribe to a separate data plan for the SIM i use in the phone.
Nokia is the best. \m/

E1200 - drop the internet connection

I previously owned a wrt54g G router and had that for many years before it finally died. I wanted to stick with Cisco since the last one lasted so long and never gave me any issues. I bought the 1200 and setup was pretty simple as the user interface was the same. The first issue I had was that the router would drop the internet connection and I would have to disconnect the ethernet line from the router and plug it into my ps3 or other device to get the modem to activate the internet again. Somehow the router will not grab a signal once it is lost. Reseting the router will not work or will unplugging it. This has happened about 3 times already in about 2 weeks. My home is about 3000 sq ft and although the signal in my office used to be at 2 bars with the G router I now have 3 bars so not that big of a range difference with the N router. I will be returning this and switching to a Belkin to try out.

There are many reasons why you experience poor signal or connection. Your intermittent 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 computers or just one?
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 router's main/ basic setup page)
4] Then go to the Wireless tab, keep network mode as mixed,
For Channel Settings of 2.4 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 6, 9, 11..
For Channel Settings of 5 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 40 or 161...
These settings would have surly helped you...

My ipad keeps dropping my wifi connection

My ipad mini keeps dropping my wifi connection at home and requires me to enter my password each and every time. This also happens with a new iphone 4S we have as well. We have a total of 4 other iOS devices and this does not happen any of them ever. I have verified across all my devices that they all have the same settings. I have rebooted everything, updated everything (including the routers firmware and even used the restore network settings on the device. All do not prevent the error from happening repeatidly.

You might consider changing the settings on the router or replacing all together

Airport Express and Extreme both having timeout issues once every few days.

I have both an Airport Express and an Airport Extreme in the house (one on each side of the house), and for the last few months, we have been experiencing timeout issues with both. About once every few days, my computer (or any other computer here - all Macs) will lose connection to the hub. When I try to reconnect in the Wifi menu, it says "Connection timed out". Also, on my iPhone, when I try to connect, it says "Unable to connect".
All this takes is a quick restart of the Airport (just pull the power out and plug in), but this is VERY frustrating. I've updated to the latest firmware... I'm not sure what else to do.
Any ideas?

Ok, thanks for clarifying that for me. I suggest starting by reviewing the following AirPort User Tip around the details for best base station placement. Let's see if this will help increase the bandwidth performance of your extended network. Most likely, due to combination of distance and Wi-Fi interference, you may not be getting the best bandwidth possible. Please post back your results.

Time Capsule drops wifi/internet connection and flashes amber

Time Capsule drops wifi/internet connection and flashes amber. I've tried unplugging it and my modem but it continues to do this every so often. The time capsule is out in the open, so I don't think it's a heat issue. It's running firmware 7.7.3. Anyone else having this issue? Any suggestions on how to fix it? It's driving me crazy!

Bought the time capsule in Oct 2013. I have a Sagemcom 2864 modem from Bell but used through Teksavvy. The 5 ghz has been flaky until I upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.1 I think. I had a closer look at it and it appears that the wifi is ok. I was thrown off by the wifi symbol being all animated in the menu bar. I was able to ping the time capsule via wifi. All the status lights on the modem looked ok. Next time it happens, I'll see if I can get some more details. Do you know if there's anyway to get some logs from the airport utility?
