FaceTime fails with "WiFi Connection Lost"

My Google skills haven't found any matches for this, but perhaps others have seen it in passing at least.
I've noticed recently that I've been having problems with FaceTime calls to a friend of mine. For the past month since he got his iPhone 4, he'd end up losing the WiFi connection, but now it's happening to me, too.
The symptom is that the FaceTime call will be going fine for a while, and then it will just hang with no motion in the picture from the other phone for about 10 seconds, then the phone will beep and display this error:
FaceTime Failed
WiFi Connection Lost
<OK>
At this point, I find that my WiFi indicator in the status bar is gone and replaced with "3G". It has indeed lost its connection to the WiFi access point (a Time Capsule).
Going into the iPhone's settings, I see that it shows there that it is still connected to my WiFi network (showing a checkmark next to my WiFi network name, although it still says "3G" at the top). Cycling WiFi off and back on corrects the problem.
My friend is also using his iPhone 4 connected to a Time Capsule, so we have similar setups. I'm beginning to wonder whether there's some problem either in iOS 4 or the Time Capsule that causes the wireless connection between them to disconnect in an aberrant fashion.
So, anyone else seen or heard of this?

FaceTime connection problems on my iPad2 was magically solved by changing the DNS number (in the Settings > Wi-Fi menus) to:
208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220
(yes, there is a space after the comma, and a space after the numbers 7)
I recommend that you write down your present DNS number for safekeeping before you make this change.
I hope this solves your FaceTime connection problem!
All the best,
Brad P.

  • Problem with wifi connection

    Hello everyone i'm new user of BlackBerry and i must say it's great phone
    but I have a one little problem with wifi connection:
    when i open "Call Management" and turn on wifi connection, find my home router network and connect with it- i have not green hook like with my telephone connection but only white minus
    Sou I think BB find my wifi connection but can't take internet from router?
    I had only one time working connection, but next day it lost
    The same problem i found on other forums but no one know how to solve the problem.
    Please help me solve this problem.
    ps: sorry for my english hope all is understandable
    Regards

    I, too had problems connecting my iTouch with my home computer. I did everything suggested and then called Apple. They worked very hard for me to find the problem ... even the engineers got involved. They found that the Symantec firewall downloaded from my ISP, Comcast, interfered with the iTouch communicating with the computer. As soon as I disabled the Symantec wall (not the internal mac firewall) my iTouch was back communicating with my computer. Apple deserves a lot of credit for isolating the problem. So, for those of you with this problem, check out your third party security software and remove what you must. Kudos to Apple customer service on this one.

    Hi Alione2112. Does this happen to your other handheld devices? I am not really sure which is causing the challenges. But, try adjusting the router's wireless channel and see if it will help.

  • Issues with WiFi connection to Deskjet 3545

    Hi,
    I have number of issues with WiFi connection to my new Deskjet 3545 AIO:
    1. Printer is not able to get IP address automatically from home WiFi router (all other devices get IP with no problem). Using WPS allow printer to register in network but after switching off, WPS setting is not stored, so I have to do it again. This I was able to solve with manual entering of IP address, netwrok mask, DNS and gateway address.
    2. Official HP software installed from HP site was able to find printer for 3dattempt, and it started to work. But after a while, "HP utility" program loose connection to printer,  so I can not see any parameters, and I get "can not find printerä message when start to to print. After a some time (minutes to hours), whithout any action from my side, connection to printer seems to be restored, so I can see printer parameters in "HP utility" and printing is started.
    3.  Official HP software installed from HP site on PC (Windows 7) is not able to find printer on WiFi at all, works only with USB.
    All this is disaponinting and unexpected, as my office HP LaserJet Pro 400 Color works perfect.

    Hi @DmiBro,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I see that you are having some wireless issues with your HP Deskjet 3545 to your Mac OS X 10.10 and Windows 7 computers. I am sorry to hear this, but I am happy to help!

    Tips for troubleshooting wireless connection issues
    The following tips can help you troubleshoot and avoid wireless connectivity issues. You can try these tips separately or in combination to get a successful wireless signal.
    Move the printer and the computer closer to the router, but no closer than 6 ft (1.8 m). Wireless signals can be weaker at greater distances between the printer and the router.
    If you are experiencing an intermittent wireless connection, try restarting your router. Consult your router manufacturer, Internet service provider, or network administrator for instructions on how to restart the router.
    Remove any metal objects between the printer, the computer, and the router. Objects such as refrigerators, microwaves, or metal bookcases can interfere with wireless transmission.
    Move any device that emits radio signals, such as microwaves and cordless telephones, farther away from the printer. Such devices can interfere with wireless signals.
    I would also recommend this website, HP Wireless Printing Center - Troubleshooting Issues.
    Hope this information is helpful, and have a nice day!

    Hi ..
    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    You may have to re enter your Wi-Fi password.
    If nothing above has helped, try here >  iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

  • Since upgrade to ios6 l have been having problem with wifi connection and connecting to App Store and iTunes store

    Q since upgrade to iOS6 l have been having problem with wifi connection and getting into App Store and itunes

    Saw this on another post.
    Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it!   It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). 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.

        Oh no! I'm sorry to hear you had problems in the are you're in AkJohnDye. I checked your coverage and I do see we have an extended 4G coverage. This means you're able to use your phone but it needs to be activated in a 4G LTE Verizon Wireless coverage zone. I apologize.

  • What can I expect of my 4s with wifi  connectivity. My 4s receive a signal from the same router I have always used. My 3G would pick up a signal throughout the house, and my 4s won't allow me out of the room. Is my new phone defective or just inferior.

  • Why does FaceTime suddenly say "FaceTime Failed" just after connecting?

    1. I place a Facetime video call.
    2. The call rings.
    3. The call screen says "connecting"
    4. The "connecting" message goes away (this normally happens just before the other party's video clicks on)
    5. The call screen remains silent with my webcam on and then reads "FaceTime Failed"
    This is a problem. Please help.
    Thank you

    Thanks Shananigan,
    I'll add that to my list of fixes to try tonight. Will that diagnose if it's my setup or theirs?
    * Fixes I've tried:
    - Restarting my machine (haven't tried both machines yet)
    - Software is up to date (running Mavericks OSX 10.9.1)
    * Fixes I'll try soon:
    - Restarting both machines
    - Double check WiFi fan for connectivity
    - Try to FaceTime call someone else
    * Outcomes
    - Restarting my machine only (no change)
    - Updating software (software is up to date) (no change)
    - Double check WiFi fan for connectivity (PENDING)
    - Restarting both machines (PENDING)
    - Try to FaceTime call someone else (PENDING)
