Equium L20-197 - WIreless Connection issues

A have an old Toshiba Equium L20-197 laptop running windows XP home edition.
It contains an Atheros AR5005G Wireless Network Adaptor.
The problem I have is that it will connect to my BT home hub (and says that the connection is excellent), but will not connect to any website.
I have added a USB 802.11g wireless adapter to see if I can get a connection through that, and it works fine (although interestingly only using the Ralink Wireless Utility which comes with it - when I tried it with Windows Wireless Zero Configuration I had the same problem as before - no internet connection - switched back to the Ralink WIreless Utility and it works fien again).
The internal wireless adaptor used to work fine, but now does not - any suggestions welcome.
Many Thanks
Rob
PS I have gone to the device manager and checked for driver updates, but it tells me that it can't find anything better than the driver version being used!

Hi
Maybe there are some conflicts between internal WLan card and the new external USB 802.11g wireless adapter.
Otherwise you should check the configuration of Atheros AR5005G Wireless Network Adaptor.
In device manager -> WLan card -> properties -> Advanced tab you should change the Wlan standard 802.11 (A B G) to the same which is used by Router.
If the router uses 802.11 G then change this in Wlan settings too!
Check also the channel. I set the channel on my router and WLan card to 11.
You could also try to connect to router without using any WLan encryption. Of course this should be done only for testing.
Las but not least update the WLan driver:

Equium L20 strange wireless connection issue- Atheros AG5005G

I use ConfigFree - the program connects to any available network but the system tool can't (sometimes it does, but only for a while). So it looks I'm connected to the internet, even if that system tools shows I'm not (It's shown in a tray). In a fact, it seems that Win tries to force something, so I loose a connection every time when that dialog box appears, saying that the connection is unavailable.
Funny, because I was using wireless for a long time without any problems. They began sometimes ago and even re-instalation didn't change anything.

According to your posting title, you use the Atheros WLan card.
As far as I know on notebooks with the Atheros WLan card the Atheros client utility should be preinstalled. This utility can be used especially for the configuration of the WLan connection. In such case the Windows own configuration option must be disabled.
I would recommend to use this tool if you want to connect to the Wlan

Equium L20-197 - memory issue

I have memory issue with L20 computer pc-world and currys are selling the L20 with following spec 256mb main memory and 128mb video memory(not up to 128) when that is not the case first of all the memory is shared and it takes 64mb out of main memory and when you try to up video memory in bios it will not let you up it to 128 unless you install another stick of main memory has anybody else noticed this problem? i know the previous L10 model with the intel video chipset was supposed to allocate video memory dependant on load but there is no mention of this on the ati chipset model. any ideas!!!

This information is for anybody with Memory issues
Concerning a TOSHIBA EQUIUM L20-197 Laptop, purchased from PC World or Groups (PC World/Currys/Dixons)
I purchased this laptop for Christmas for my daughter,
The sales man assured me at the time that he would recommend buying Norton internet security suite, because it was half the price when you buy any PC or Laptop.
What he did not tell me is, when you load the Norton software, the operating system is so slow it is just about unusable!
This problem is down to memory issues, the motherboard should have 256MB, but the operating system only gets 192MB due to the Graphics card steeling 64MB.
The answer to this problem is firstly the Graphics card should be set to 128MB in the Bios setting; this is not possible with the memory only being 256MB on the motherboard.
Secondly, the minimum requirements for Norton internet Security and Windows XP is 256MB not 192MB.
Being an Engineer myself and pointing out this to the Manager at PC World, he allowed me to purchase the memory locally and refunded the difference due to the price.
I purchased 512MB DDR2 533PC-320 for 27.48 the Toshiba now works like a dream.
One last point I do not recommend any body to install Norton Go back on your Laptop that comes with Norton internet Security, when you have Windows XP it just takes up too much space on your hard drive and you have System Restore anyway.

Equium L20-197 does not work anymore

May I call on you all for a bit of help on this one.
I have been given an Equium L20-197 which does not work anymore. Not having the chance to ever see it running I'm not sure on a couple of things.
It's totally dead, with the power supply connected there is no sign of life, no power light, nothing.
I know there are many things it could be.
Question is should it power up while there is no battery connected, just the power supply plugged in?
If it will then at least I can move past a battery problem, yes the battery may still be faulty but it would mean that the motherboard is probably us. If it must have a battery fitted, even a flat one then it could be the battery.
Just trying to work through it step by step.
Any help much appreciated.

Hi mate,
hehe, looks like a technician is here. :) Its a really good idea to making it step by step because every good techie acts like you. So I do, and it helped me many times.
Regarding your question: the battery must not be connected to start the machine, so if the machine wont start up even just with AC connected then you can be sure that a really serious hardware problem is present.
In such case, you can either remove everything (HDD, CDROM,etc) and try it again. You can also exchange the AC-adapter and the RAM. So, if the machine still wont start up, then contact an ASP (Authorized Service Partner) and ask for a hardware checkup/repair. That would be the last resort.
Heres a link to find the nearest ASP in your country:

I am having wireless connectivity issues with my time capsule

Over the last 3 days my wireless devices have been having issues with connectivity.
Network setup:
Modem - Motorola SB5102 Cable Modem
1 TB Time Capsule 802.11n (second generation)
The devices are approximately 3 feet apart.
Wired Device:
Mac Pro (2008 build) running OSX 10.6.8, Airport Utility 5.6.1
Wireless Devices:
Playstation 3
Macbook Air
iPhone 5c
iPhone 4
I am having issues with internet connectivity. The wireless signal strength is fine as all devices can find the network. However when connected to the network accessing the internet on the Macbook Air, or either iPhone is slow and streaming services such as Netflix cannot connect. I have intermitant connectivity to the Playstation Network on the PS3.
I have wired both the Macbook Air and PS3 directly to the Time Capsule and have no issues, internet is accessible and streaming services are fine.
I have power cycled all the devices (Time Capsule, macbook, iphones, PS3, modem) to no result.
I am looking for any other suggestions that may help me with my wireless connectivity issue.

A Gen2 TC is probably on its last gasp.. and it is well overdue for replacement.
If you want to get more life out of it you normally need to repair or replace the internal power supply.. This is not done by apple or any of their repair centres.
Just do ebay search and you will find sellers with replacement supplies.
Otherwise to test, do a full factory reset..
I would also downgrade the firmware.. 7.5.2 will work just as well for you and has less bugs than 7.6.x firmware.
To downgrade hold down the option key when you select firmware version.
The Factory Reset universal
Unplug your TC/AE. Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on.. all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. The time is not important.. it is the front LED rapid flashing that indicates you are in factory mode.
Release reset.
If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have released reset at some point and try again.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.

Equium L20-197 - replacement battery

Hello.
I have noticed (at the wrong time too) that the battery life of my Toshiba Equium L20-197 has POOR battery life.
On a long charge it lasts 1 hour and 20 minutes max.
I'm looking to extend the battery life of my unit. The problem is that the More4You doesn't list any batteries for my model.
Where can I find a beter battery for my laptop? The select options for a product featur on the More4You page, doesn't list compatible batteries.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, Ive just bought one of these and its given me over three hours usage.

Satellite U940 PSU6VA - Wireless connectivity issues

_*My specifications:*_
*Model:* Toshiba Ultrabook (Satellite U940 PSU6VA-00S002)
*Operating System:* Windows 8.1 x64 (upgraded from Windows 8 x64)
*Wireless adapter:* Intel(R) Centrino(R) Wireless-N 2200
*Wireless adapter driver version:* 15.10.0.12 (which is the latest for my device)
I have had this Ultrabook since February 2013, and throughout that period I have always had wireless connectivity issues, even after performing a factory reset. My wireless icon fluctuates between three states:
* Internet access
* Limited (in which case I cannot connect to the internet or any device on the network)
* Not connected - connections are available (and if I try to make it connect to the network, it will fail)
Sometimes my computer would instantly reach the "Internet access" state upon startup, and would remain in that state. Other times, it would be "Limited" for several minutes after starting up my computer before it finally connected, and even then the connection would drop out every now and then. At the worst, it would remain either "Limited" or "Not connected" indefinitely, no matter how many times I reset my wireless adapter or restarted my computer.
Until recently, I had always thought that these issues occurred randomly. However, I recently noticed that I always have a perfect connection whenever there are no other computers connected wirelessly to my home router, and I always experience issues of varying degrees when there is at least one other computer (or even a smartphone) connected wirelessly to the router. If there is another computer connected to the router via an Ethernet cable, this does not cause any problems; it is only wireless connections that interfere with my computer.
It is only this computer that has these problems; the other computers in my house never experience these issues, no matter how many computers are online. Also, my computer does not only experience these issues with my home router; it has the same issues on my university's wireless network.
My question is, how can I fix this? Is this a known bug, or is my wireless adapter defective? I know I can connect using an Ethernet cable where possible (I never have problems with Ethernet connections), but this is not always possible at university.

I just checked the page you linked to, but it recommends that laptop users obtain their drivers from their OEM rather than from Intel.
I had already checked for driver updates through both Toshiba Service Station and Device Manager (and checked both again just now). Toshiba Service Station tells me that there are no updates available, and Device Manager tells me that "the driver software for your device is up to date".
Should I update to Intel's latest driver anyway? If so, should I also install the Windows 8.1 version of "Intel PROSet/Wireless Wifi Software"?

> I would recommend you to check the Wlan functionality and performance testing each Wlan standard 802.11 B / G and N and additionally check the different Wlan channels (1-11)
I have found the WLAN channel setting in Device Manager and I will test it when I get the chance. But how do I change the WLAN standard?

Equium A110 - Lost wireless connection

Hello all,
can you help?
I have lost connection on my Equium A110 and also another laptop (not Toshiba) it askes for or incorrect IP address.
I have an linksys router which has had its filmware up to date

Hello
For me its definitively not a notebook issue because on the other notebook you have a problem with the wireless connection too.
Its not so easy to say what the reason is for this
In your case I would try the command line the command ipconfig /renew
Does it work?
If it doesnt work you should try to disconnect the router from the AC/DC adaptor for at least 5 minutes. Then connect the AC/DC adaptor again and try it.
Good luck!

HP Officejet Pro 8500 a910 wireless connectivity issues?

I have a HP Officejet Pro 8500 a910 and It was working fine. I got a new router and it was still working fine. Second night of having everything set up it stops working and shows as offline on my computer. It will print information about the printer from thecomputor but will not print out any other documents.

I'm having the same issues. In my case, first I updated my MacBook Pro to OS X 10 Mavericks. A few days ago, the Actiontec gateway router provided by my ISP Frontier Communications ceased to function. Frontier sent a Netgear 7550 gateway router to replace it. I installed it according to directions. My email capability and home network went down. Frontier helped to restore the email but the techs I worked with couldn't figure out what to do to restore my wireless network. The router's setup would not allow me to replace the WPA Shared Key with the wireless network password I used previously. So, I updated the ASUS range extender and all the wireless devices that were on my home network with the new WPA key. Both printers, the Officejet Pro 8500A 910 and a Brother wireless laser, will not network. The Officejet blue wireless icon no longer lights up. I uninstalled the Officejet's software and then downloaded and installed the latest software and drivers for the Officejet Pro 8500A 910. The HP Network Configuration printout indicates that its network status is ready and the active connection type is wireless. I had it connected to my Mac with a USB cable so I could reinstall the software and drivers. When I disconnected the cable, I lost connection to the Officejet and couldn't print. the HP utility could not establish a wireless connection even though I did input all the new router settings. The Officejet thinks it's wireless but it isn't. I can only conclude that my Officjet is delusional. It's not all that old, but could it be ready for the all-in-one graveyard?

HP Officejet 6600 e-All-in-One Wireless connection issue.

We are using the HP 6600 now for 6 months and sice a few weeks we have some issues with the printer.
situation:
1 - HP 6600 printer
1 - Wireless Router
3 - Computers connected to the router
What we did:
Updated the firmware
Manual IP
Put channel from router to 11
Put it closer to the router (1 meter instead of 3)
HP docter, everything is fine (if connection is lost, answer "No network connection to your device"
But all above is not the solution.
When the printer is offline we just switch it off and on and it will work again for a couple of hours. It looks that the connection is lost when it is going to sleep/hybernate.
Also one of my customers has exactly the same problem, also did all above and didnt fix anything. This question is for me quite urgent because i am going on holidays in 2 days, my father in LAW cannot work without the printer and is getting upset this all this.
Any advices?

Arjan_NL
If I understand you correctly the printers blue light is flashing and you cannot see your printer on the network. I recommend that you reset the network defaults to factory settings on the printer.
To reset the network defaults
-touch Setup Menu
-touch Network
-touch Restore Network Defaults
Then use the Wireless Setup Wizard to connect the printer to the network.
To run wireless setup
-touch Setup
-touch Network
-touch Wireless Setup Wizard
follow the on screen instructions to set the printer up on the network. You will need the WPA password or security key for the router to do this.
Follow the steps in this document Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection to set a static IP address for the printer. This should help you maintain a better wireless connection.
Keep me posted and let me know if you need further assistance.

PRINTER WIRELESS CONNECTION ISSUE

PRINTER 3050A All IN ONE Printer Scanner Fax
prints well with USB Connection BUT doesn't print on ePrint or Wireless, THOUGH the lights indicate there is positive connection. Error MSG: "Printer is Offline" but HP Printer screen indicates Online as do all ligths on printer. I've used the Router WSB reset and have completely shut the printer down, unplugged it and resumed in more than an hour. No change.

Hi @LITTLEBOYBLUE,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see you are not able to print wirelessly to your HP Deskjet 3050A, when you attempt to print wirelessly, you get a 'Printer Offline' error message. You have 2 options when setting up your DJ 3050A to your network, you can use the HP's Auto Wireless Connect or do a USB to Wireless conversion. To get started click on the link below:

People, help me in refining this list - did I leave something out?
P.S. I was thinking lately, why, after spending so much money, should I spend several days already, in agregate, trying to understand the issue and how it should be resolved? Have I not paid for not having such problems?

Here is a lot more:
http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/wirelessnetworking/topic4035.html
Highly interesting is the post of J.Exby which i reproduce here:
For months I've not been alone in holding to the notion that the airport client software on Mac OS X 10.4.x has been problematic and unstable in certain (noisy, crowded, channel overlapped) wireless environments. Issues littered around the Internet Mac forums include problems of networks appearing, then disappearing. This is a difficult problem to pin down, given the difficulty of reproducing the conditions that might cause wireless network dropouts.
A major symptom of the problem was seeing the constant messages of:
"An error occurred joining the AirPort network" (Try Again) (Cancel)
when attempting to connect to a wireless network, despite that network being seen, having correct security settings, etc.
Various temporary fixes/ideas floated around the mac community have included:
- reseting pram, nvram and PMU
- installing 10.4 from scratch, instead of 10.3 to 10.4 upgrade process
- Repairing permissions, run Combo updaters, etc
- putting system to sleep or reboot for temporary connection fix
- applying AirPort 2005-001 patch (or not)
- upgrading (or downgrading!) AirPort basestation firmware
- changing AirPort channels
- enabled (or disabling) Interference Robustness
- disabling Bluetooth and BT peripherals
- removing WEP/WPA passwords out of Keychain
- running Keychain First Aid on user/login keychains
- buying new AirPort extreme cards
- replacing AirPort base stations with other vendor hardware, etc.
With the stability of our Windows XP clients now (after driver updates) and the change from Apple base stations to Belkin Wireless Pre-N Router having no appreciable benefit for our Mac notebooks, the OS X AirPort client software suspicions only grew.
During troubleshooting I always have
Applications--->Utilities--->Console
and
iStumbler (96)
running, and I watch output as wireless scans are performed.
From the Terminal I also run:
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Resources/airport -s
and usually see constant
AirPortScanner WirelessScan error -2013261821 airpInternalErr
messages.
After two days of testing (and fixing?) I am even more convinced there are bugs in the powerpc 10.4.x AirPort Extreme Framework!
This is what I found:
Environment at our office:
- wireless Network A (802.11g channel 1, WPA personal)
- wireless Network B (802.11b channel 6, WEP 40bit ascii)
- wireless Network C (802.11g channel 11, WPA personal)
(WAR-marching around our office exterior shows at least 12 outside wireless networks found at various signal strengths!)
Test systems used:
- iBook G4 (10.3.x and 10.4.5)
- Powerbook G4 (10.4.5)
- Intel iMac (10.4.5)
Primary symptom on iBook: networks not displaying long enough under the AirPort icon/menu (or Internet Connect) to connect to ANY network reliably! Perhaps connect to Network A intermittently, never even see Network C.
iStumbler showing some networks respond to poll, then immediately stagnate/disappear.
Primary symptom on Powerbook: stable connections to Network C most times, difficulty "switching" to Network B or A once moving closer to source. Usually stable "seeing" networks via AirPort menu icon, but still have occasional dropouts (due to fluctuating signal strength or interference?).
Primary symptom on Intel iMac: NO PROBLEMS! Can connect to (and steadily "see") all valid Networks A, B, C !
iStumbler constantly polls all available networks, with no dropouts.
Steps taken:
1. Wipe iBook hard drive, install 10.3 from dvd. AirPort signals unreliable.
1a. Perform all 10.3.x Software updates, Repair Permissions, reboot. AirPort still unreliable.
2. Reset PRAM, nvram, PMU. no improvements.
3. Reseat AirPort Extreme card, ensure antenna is firmly plugged in. AirPort still unreliable.
4. Wipe iBook, install 10.4.3 "fresh" from Full retail version DVD. AirPort still unreliable.
4a. Perform all 10.4.5 Software (combo) updates, Repair Permissions, reboot. AirPort still unreliable.
5. Hold down the Option key, and click on the AirPort icon in the menu bar.
select About AirPort...
pay particular attention to each system showing:
iBook: AirPort Framework 421.13.0
powerbook: AirPort Framework 421.13.0
intel iMac: AirPort Framework 426.1.0
Aha! A big difference with the AirPort Framework component version on the Intel iMac!
6. So, using the Terminal let's get this newer Apple80211.framework onto the iBook.
First on the intel iMac:
cd /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks
sudo tar cf ~/intelApple80211frame.tar Apple80211.framework
Copy this intelApple80211frame.tar file onto a USB thumb drive, CDR, iPod, scp, etc. to copy it onto the iBook (home directory).
7. With the tar file copied into the home area on the iBook, turn off iBook's AirPort via the menubar icon.
Now launch Terminal and:
mkdir backup-framework
cd /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks
sudo mv Apple80211.framework ~/backup-framework/
sudo tar xvpf ~/intelApple80211frame.tar
Launch Disk Utility, Repair Permissions on boot drive.
Reboot iBook.
8. Turn Airport on via the menubar icon.
iBook now has HUGE improvements in wireless connectivity! It can "see" all Networks A, B, C reliably and can connect to any of them when in range (having enough signal strength). Switching between networks is successful 90% of the time. Occasional message of:
"An error occurred joining the AirPort network (Try Again) (Cancel)"
usually works after clicking (Try Again), whereas before Try Again almost always failed.
I am unsure how this newer Apple80211.framework will affect future Software Updates on the iBook, but frankly I could care less now that it's able to access all of our wireless networks!
I am unsure if this is the magic-bullet solution for a majority of people, but I'm stunned that Apple appears to be providing new and improved Apple80211.framework software with the intel iMacs, but many of us have been fighting AirPort problems on PowerPC platforms for months!
Come on Apple, OS X 10.4.5 should contain the SAME software component versions for ALL CPU platforms!

Various wireless connection issue

Hi, i am Drei. one of the technical support of HP for Mac computers / OS Let's name the routers that have issues with the connection or even declining the printer to gain connectivity to it 1. Xfinity from comcast2. Arris from time warner3. Linksys, either a personal router (w/ smart access)4. Hitron technologies from canada ISP's Let's begin with xfinity router You have the get the router's IP address first ex: 10.0.0.1 (for mac this is under the network preferences under the advance and TCP/IP tab) Username : adminPassword : password 1. Access the GUI (Graphical user interface) of the router using whatever web browser you have2. Get to the "Gateway"3. Click "Connection"4. Click "WIFI" Note: You have to check if you see something that says 2.4GHz and 5GHz If does, your router is a dual band router and you will need to change the SSID of the 5GHz to separate the mix band / Frequency in the radio radius. How to change it? Click the "edit" on the 5GHz channel / Freq Then add other characters on the SSID ex. SSID : "HPTechDrei" to "HPTechDrei-5GHz"Then look for the option that says "SAVE" or "Apply" (This doesnt apply on XFINITY alone, it also applies to the entire routers with dual band capabilities) If you have a single band router which only has a 2.4GHz freq (XFINITY), Just make sure that the router is on AUTO Channel not on 1, 2,3,4, etc. Why? this is to NOT to exhaust the router and to avoid any problems (in a long period of time) Next step: Go to "GATEWAY" again and select "FIREWALL" and select "CUSTOM" and again save the settings or apply the settings Note: Do not put any CHECKS on the check box Let's move on to the next step: Let's make this short, Bottom line is to get to the wireless settings of the printer and select "RESTORE NETWORK DEFAULTS" (This applies for printers that have front panel guides) This is the time you either connect the printer in so many ways such as via Auto wireless connect using HP utility, USB SOW using USB cable and HP Utility, Stand alone Wireless setup Wizard, or the advance part via Ad-HOC and accessing the Embedded web server of the Printer (Same as a router GUI) Last is just to readd the printer under the system preferrence for Mac This is it for now. XFINITY Business router, it has a different method to make the printer connected or even for the Mac to see the printer in the NETWORK If you have problems you can call 1800-474-6836 to get help (You are lucky enough if the agent who gets your call is knowledgeable about router access and configs), if i am available on the floor to help the agent who has gotten your call or email me at [email protected] As much as i want to put all of the tips and tricks here for the router configuration, it would take me days to write it all down. Cheers mates

Steve,
Thanks for the quick reply. I have checked the logs on all our devices with AP's connected and found no reference to BPDU/STP messages. Is there a better method to discover a loop situation as this event happened on 12/4, last Thursday.
My understanding is that since we use a WLC the ports that the AP's are plugged into should have this configuration:
interface GigabitEthernet0/1
description Wireless Access Point
switchport access vlan XX
switchport mode access
mls qos trust dscp
spanning-tree portfast
However, I just started a project to refresh our access devices and review configs. I found that some people recommend a config like this:
interface GigabitEthernet0/1
description WAP
switchport access vlan XX
switchport mode access
mls qos trust dscp
spanning-tree portfast
spanning-tree bpduguard enable
Wouldn't using the second port config allow me to identify the problem AP and prevent a potential loop being created due to the port being placed in an err-disabled state upon receipt of a BPDU message?
Could the bridge between the wireless and wired network be caused by a laptop being connected to the wired and wireless networks at the same time? That is a likely scenario here as we have dozens of laptop users in our client base. Any other scenarios that might result in this situation?
Thanks again.
Rich

Wireless connection issue, new HH2.0A

Hi again everyone.
We've recently upgraded to 'up to 20Mb' BB option 3 and got sent a new HH2.0A to go with it after being on the 1.5 for a few years but i seem to be having trouble with a secondary PC connecting by wireless.
The other PC is using a BT Voyager 1055 wireless dongle to connect, but it seems that the first time it connects after being turned off, it can't aquire an IP address so we have to keep repairing the connection until it picks one up, then it works fine until it's turned on again the next day.
I've tried setting the HH to give it a static IP address but the problem still happens. I've noticed the dongle utility says it's using WPA-PSK security whereas that isn't an option on the HH security page, only 'WPA' or 'WPA & WPA2'. Would that be causing the issue do you think?
I'm reluctant to change any hub settings too much as we are still within our 10 day line testing period and aren't up to full speed yet.
Thanks in advance for any help on this issue

Hi, thanks for the reply.
Yes, deleting the old connection was the first thing I tried but it didn't work. I'm going to try totally reinstalling the 1055 utility from the disk next I think.
I didn't even check the BTFon thing but the hub page says it's active so I guess it is transmitting. Would this have any effect on the problem or on my speeds as a whole?
I'm not sure if reinstalling will solve this, but go for it
If it says active, then you're part of BTFon - this will use a max' 512Kbps or your total speed when someone connects to it

Wireless connectivity issues with Macbook Pro and At&t service HELP!!!!!

I have three Computers two PC's and one Macbook Pro( the latest model).My desktop PC is used by ethernet, my girls laptop is used wirelessly and finally my MBP was being used wirelessly.
I started off with only the two PCs and my internet connection never had a problem and I was doing everything from: on the internet to downloading.
Before I bought my MBP I had also switched from internet and phone bundle to just internet from At&t service. So when I got my first MBP I notice that I was loosing wireless connection with both my girls pc laptop and my MBP so i thought it was because I had just switched service, though they send out a service technician and we came to a conclusion that it was the MBP. (I was loosing signal via wireless and ethernet). So we tried to see if both my girls laptop(wireless) and my PC desktop (ethernet) would run into the same issue which it did not.(MBP was turned off)
So I decided to go my nearest Apple store and let them know what was going on. So I told them what was going on and they said It must be the airport card, and they ended up changing it. When I get home I discover that not only I am having the same issue but other issues too. I went back they ran some diagnostic and they said it was defective and they gave me a new one few days later.
So in the mean time that I waited for my new one to arrive I used my PC desktop and my girl kept using her laptop and guess what no issue what so ever for one whole week. Now I receive my new MBP(they bumped the specs a little), went home set it up and still the same issue though I dont have the issue when Im using via ethernet. Just a view minutes ago I tried removing the ethernet and using the airport/wireless and within a few minutes I lost the signal.
I have the gateway 2WIRE model(2701HG-B) modem/router.
Is there something wrong? what do I have to do to make this work?

Hi Guys, I bough my Mac almost two years ago. All this time I have experienced the same issue. There are tons of discussions re this issue in the internet. Unfortunately, Apple has done nothing to fix it. I have tried a lot of different options, but they work no longer then 1-2 days. The official fix - does not exist so far. It is quit strange, isn't? I can share my experience: if you go to AirPort Utility - Manual Setup - Wireless and then change Channel, it could help you till the moment you restart your computer; next time you need to repeat it again. It takes 2 minutes. Not sure that it would work for you but you could give it a try. Well, not the best option. Anyway Apple must fix it asap! Hello Apple, do you hear us? Good luck.
