Frequent wireless connection drops: how to re-connect?

My wireless connection has become quite unreliable of late, and I'm not sure how to diagnose/fix the problem. Configuration:
MacBook Pro4,1
Intel Core2 Duo
Max OS X 10.6.6
When the connection drops, I first try to "Turn Airport On" with the menu bar, but this has no effect.
Using Network Preferences to "Turn Aiport On" also has no effect.
Turning to the command line, I try 'ifconfig -a', and get:
en1: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
status: inactive
I tried bouncing the en1 interface using:
ifconfig en1 down
ifconfig en1 up
But the status stays inactive. Any thoughts on what I should try? A reboot always
resets things and gets them working again, but it's incredibly annoying to have to
reboot when in the middle of something.

It might help to reset the connection settings on your Mac using these steps one at a time until the problem is resolved, recognizing that, depending on your problem, not all of these steps will make sense:
1) Use the AirPort menu bar item to turn AirPort off, then on again.
2) Try to select your Wi-Fi network from the AirPort menu.
3) In the Network panel of System Preferences delete the AirPort item from the left column, then add it back.
4) In the same panel as (3), define a new location and see if you can make that work.
5) In the same panel, select the AirPort connection item, click the "Advanced" button, select the "TCP/IP" tab, then click "Renew DHCP Lease".
6) In the folder /Library/Preferences ( not <yourhomefolder>/Library/Preferences), move the folder SystemConfiguration onto the Desktop, then restart your computer. See if you can now make your AirPort connection work.
They may not help, but they'll only take a couple of minutes to try. Before you try these, if you have any special network settings on your Mac for things like DSL credentials, note all your network settings, because the latter steps will destroy them. If you got all the way to the last step, if things don't work any worse than before, you can trash the saved SystemConfiguration folder.

  • How do I keep my Ipad from dropping its wireless connection?

    How do I keep my Ipad from dropping its wireless connection?
    Most of the time, my iPad does not maintain a connection to the interenet via my wifi router. My PC laptop has continuous connection, so I know it is not the internet connection.
    Is there a way to trouble shoot this? Can I purchase a dedicated IP Address for my Ipad? This is beyond aggrevating since internet activity is the main reason I purchased the pad.
    Your help is greatly appreciated.

    I would suggest that you give Apple Tech Support a call and go over your settings under WI-FI and General Settings as well as your router settings etc.. There are all sorts of things I could tell you to try but this forum is not the best place to go over all the numerous settings that could be the issue. Just call them and they will walk you through the proper trouble shooting steps.

  • WRT610N Frequently Drops Wireless Connections

    Hi,
    I have a WRT610N V1 that seems to have wireless issues. It frequently drops all of the wireless connection - not the IP address leases. An then we can't reconnect for some time, even after rebooting both the router and the modem. I just upgraded the firmware and did a full reset, but that didn't work either. Any ideas?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    This could be caused by intereference with nearby routers.
    Have you tried changing the channel on the router?

  • How do I deal with "neighbors" piggybacking on my wireless connection?

    My MBP is connected wirelessly through the old space ship looking Airport Extreme which is connected to the modem in the house. Frequently (like right now) I have someone catching a ride on my wireless connection. Can my neighbor see anything in my computer? Is it causing me any current or potential harm? How do I kick him off, and how can I keep this from happening?...thanks,

    Just curious: How do you know this? What proof do you have?
    I know, I know.......curiosity killed the cat.
    there are utilities you can get baby boomer that will show you which or how many users are logged into your wireless network. My 14 year old son uses one routinely on his windozes machine.
    And in answer to the original poster a WEP password (although get-round-able by the determined) will surfice im sure to keep out most freeloading neighbours on your wireless connection.
    I dont believe it slows your connection down (altho could be wrong here) but it is legally stealing so sort that out, encrypt your network right away and you wont have to worry about them routing through your personal files either.

  • Time Machine Causes MacBook to Drop Wireless Connection

    Recently I started having tons of problems with my wireless connections (dropping after a few minutes, unable to reestablish)
    The fix was to turn off Time Machine.
    Help! How can I use time machine on my computer without it causing me to lose my wireless connections!
    This affects my computer no matter what network I am on. As soon as Time Machine starts the backup I lose the connection to the wireless router.

  • MBA dropping wireless connection, workaround that works for me

    I have a brand new Macbook air 1.6HD that I purchased two days ago, and observed the issues with the wireless signal dropping out during regular web browsing activity, as often as every 3-5 minutes. I did not migrate settings from a previous machine, and have both a mac mini and thinkpad in the house which work without issues. The wireless AP (a linksys wrtg) has no WPA/WEP settings active, and is using a wireless channel that nobody else in the neighborhood is using according to my scanner.
    I wondered why certain activities like streaming a video or downloading a file never seemed to drop in the middle, whereas if I was browsing the web it would drop while reading pages during the time when nothing much was happening. I would download a few pages, and then when clicking a link I was suddenly being sent to the "internet connection has dropped" page in Safari, and the airport icon in the menubar showed no signal, until I went up and reconnected once again to my AP.
    So, I opened up a terminal window and started a ping to a host outside my network, a DNS server that is always reachable: "ping 128.95.112.1". Whenever this ping session is running, I do not seem to drop the wireless signal, and the behavior is normal. I have tested this on several different wireless points including the wireless at my work and at a local Starbucks, however if I interrupt the pings and just use the laptop as normal, it returns to the previous behavior and the wireless AP again "drops" only to be found again when I reconnect via the option in the menu bar.
    Something about constantly keeping the connection busy with these constant small packets seems to keep the laptop from "forgetting" the association to the AP. This workaround may work for some of the others out there seeing the same issue. It would be nice for Apple to fix or acknowledge whatever driver issue or design problem is causing the Air to have this problem, since the Mac Mini and other laptops in the house are clearly not having the problem, and it is limited to this new hardware.

    That sounds like the 'keep alive' is way too low.
    it sounds like a protocol/operating system issue based on how you describe it. (however if your other macs are on the same OS ver . . . then . . . never mind.)
    Does pinging the loopback keep the laptop from "forgetting" the association to the AP? (If so you may be able to set up a small script and add if to your login startup items. . . as a work around. just an idea.)

  • Wrvs4400n keep dropping wireless connection

    hi there,
    has anyone got problem with  wrvs4400n keep dropping the wireless connection? i tried to find out anywhere but not much hints are given how to solve the issue.
    i have 1.1.03 firmware installed, and currently running on
    b/g/n mixed on channel 9
    wpa2 personal mixed security 
    the rest of the settings on default
    i had the router running for about 3 months and most of the time i have to either restart the server to get the wireless working again. normally the wireless works ok until few days when suddenly I just can't access the internet using the wireless.
    once i replug my computer using cable, the wireless router suddenly can give me IP address and the wireless return back to normal.
    i have tried to use
    different channels
    changing to G/N, and B/G mode
    change key renewal frequency
    reduce RTS Threashold
    accessing the wireless router from 3 different wireless network card
    none of them really works, normally after few days, 1 week top, i suddenly lost wireless connection again. the SSID still there, i can authenticate, somehow the wireless just won't give me IP address
    checking the website, it seems like i'm on the latest firmware from linksys and they don't seem updating the firmware anymore, is this product not supported anymore?
    anyone knows of the same problem ? or has already solved the issue?

    Hey Stewey,
    I have a similar problem with my iMac G5. My roommate, who has an HP, bought a Linksys WRT54G when we moved in to our place and it gives me trouble with Airport sometimes. We use G only and WPA Personal. I updated the firmware in February and I swear it got a bit better, but it still goes out sometimes. If I move it just a few inches in any direction, generally it will start working again. Resetting it also helps sometimes. I don't know if its the fact that it doesn't say it's compatible with any Mac on the box, but it's annoying as all ****. My roomie rarely has problems with it (our rooms are the same distance away from the router), but my friend brought his PB over to do some work and he had trouble in my room as well. Is it Linksys, or is it Airport? I have no idea. Our router is out in the living room, next to the TV and Xbox 360, so it might be interference. If possible, try moving the router to higher ground and away from other electronics.
    I tried looking up your router online to see if I could find anything else out. Didn't find too much info, but it says that you get free 24 hour tech support. You don't see that too often. If you can't figure it out, give them a call.
    Good luck!

  • E3200 - Dropping wireless connection on the Mac

    Pros: Gig Eth switch, no front-facing indicator lights, familiar web interface...
    Cons: WiFi Protected Setup doesn't belong. Continually drops wireless connections to my Mac Book Pro (but none of my other devices), which worked just fine on the E3000 this unit replaced and works perfectly on other WiFi networks. REALLY SLOW web interface - average time to move from one page to the next is something north of 9 seconds. Again, never a problem with the E3000 that this unit replaced. Price? I wouldn't complain about price if this thing actually worked as expected.
    Other Thoughts: I'm hoping it's just a flaky/defective unit and not indicative of the overall quality of newer Linksys products. Firmware isn't the issue - it's running the latest one from Linksys' site.

    First of all please verify that you have got a 802.11n card in your computer. New generation routers (i.e. E3200) speaks an entirely different language with 802.11g cards, so while those adapters can work with the E3200, but they are not optimized to provide good performance. It is like having to translate from one language to another in real time when going from N to G.
    Well, there are few things you should keep in mind with regards to N routers:
    1) For the best possible speeds, you need to be using WPA2-AES as your security mode. Any other security mode will see your speed/range capped.
    Any G devices in your wireless network will tend to hamper the performance of your overall network.
    Ensure that your router is running the latest firmware from homesupport.cisco.com The new firmware includes performance enhancements and fixes.
    The router by default uses a channel setting of auto, which means that it would keep switching channels depending on the interference. I’d recommend you set it to a fixed channel. Usually, 1, 3, 6 and 9 give you the best performance depending on your environment of course. I’d suggest you try different channels, observing each for a while, to see which gives you the best performance. You can follow the link here on how to change channels.

  • Dropping Wireless Connection & Speed Slowing Down

    Hi,
    Up until a week ago I had two BT lines, I will call them line 1 and line 2.  Line 1 (front room) was used purely for phone calls, and line 2 (middle room) had Broadband activated on it. When it came time to renew the yearly line rental I checked and had it confirmed by BT that the available Broadband speed was faster on line 1, so I decided to cancel line 2, and move my Home Hub 4 into room 1 having arranged to activate Broadband on what in theory should be a line that gives a better speed.
    My current problem is two-fold. Firstly I am not yet getting the line speed that I was expecting. I have spoken to the Technical Help Line, and understand that following the activation of Broadband on the line in Room 1 I should wait 10 days for the available speed to stabalise. Currently I am 7 days on from line activation.
    A few days ago I was getting download speeds around 2.70 Mbps, with upload speeds around 0.38 Mbps. The IP profile for the download speed at that time was set at 2.77 Mbps. The IP profile for the upload speed was set at 0.45 Mbps. Over the past week I have done numerous speed checks and found that the speed did vary, as might be expected, but was generally always around these figures. Because of the line check speeds I was given by BT's own staff I was expecting the available speed to get better, not slow down! I was originally advised to expect line speeds of between 3.5 Mbps - 5.5 Mbps.
    Over the last 24 - 36 hours the speed has slowed down, and a few minutes ago these are the figures I observed:
    Download speed achieved during the test was - 1.3 Mbps
     For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 0.8 Mbps-2 Mbps.
     IP Profile for your line is - 1.33 Mbps
    Upload speed achieved during the test was - 0.34Mbps
    Additional Information:
    Upstream Rate IP profile on your line is - 0.45 Mbps
    Line speed then is one issue, but there is another.
    My second, presently very frustrating problem is that even though the Hub 4 is consistently powered, and maintains a steady Blue light showing that Broadband is available, my wireless connection that I receive from the Hub keeps dropping. I should add that the distance from the Hub 4 in Room 1 to where I work with my laptop in Room 2 is only about 15 - 20 feet. I used the old Hub 2 until a few weeks ago, and neither my daughter on her laptop, or myself, had any problems with 'dropping' the wireless signal, whichever room we were in, or even if we used our respective laptops elsewhere in the house. I was convinced enough by the publicity 'blurb' to believe that Hub 4 was more reliable, with fewer drop-outs. So far this has not proven to be the case.
    I know that I need to wait a few days more till the 10 days are up, but would really appreciate some kind soul commenting on the above. I have looked at the Logs, but without knowing what segment would be helpful in aiding a diagnosis of my two issues I didn't want to provide unnecessary information. So if any particular element of the Logs would be useful, please let me know.
    Yours in hope,
    Alan
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hello again,
    With your help I was able to locate the place to change the channel manually, which I did, thanks for that. It only resulted in a marginal improvement, but any improvement is good I guess.
    HH4 has now been showing a steady connection for three + days, so, as requested, here are the noise stats:
    16:14:16, 26 Nov.    ( 76.170000) DSL noise margin: 22.00 dB upstream, 12.20 dB downstream
    16:14:16, 26 Nov.    ( 76.080000) DSL line rate: 448 Kbps upstream, 3104 Kbps downstream
    I have done several speed tests and they all show broadly similar results, namely that my download speed is usually around 2.67, whereas my IP Profile is set at 2.74.
    I don't know whether this is worth mentioning but I only have an old style BT socket on my line, not one that has a test socket inside, so I can't do any of the tests using that facility.
    Although my broadband connection has been stable and active on the HH4, as far as using wireless to connect my laptop in another room I do still get several dropped connections each day.
    Even when I am connected to my HH4 by wireless, and my signal, as now, is only in the four bar bracket, by looking at the other Networks that are active in my street/area I can see, although it is rightly secured, that someone is using a HH3 and the signal on that is powerful enough to register a full five bar (excellent) strength on my laptop. How near or far away from me that user with a HH3 is I do not know, the point is however I can receive a more powerful and consistent signal from their Hub than my own. I must confess to being puzzled by that. What could be the reason?
    Is there any further help or guidance that you can give that might assist in raising my IP profile, in the hope that my speed might increase? Or do you have any further suggestions as to how I might reduce the noise on my line to a more acceptable amount, so that my signal might give me a better wireless connection?
    Thanks again for any advice or help you are able to give.
    Regards,
    Alan

  • Wireless connection drops every day -- iTunes 8.02 the problem??

    Hello! Our iMac is connected to the internet via Airport, and we have rarely had problems with the connection. For the last two weeks, when I get on the iMac for the first time that day, I have to reconnect to the wireless network through the Airport Setup Assistant every single time. I've tried resetting our cable modem and Airport -- no effect on the problem. I've tried going into sleep mode without logging off to see if that might help -- nope. I've tried repairing permissions in the off-chance that that might help -- no again.
    In something that seems more than just a coincidence, we updated our iTunes to 8.02 about two weeks ago, and that's when this problem began happening. I am especially suspicious that there's a link because we did not update iTunes on our Macbook and it has no problem whatsoever staying connected to the exact same wireless network.
    Two questions, then:
    -- Is the iTunes 8.02 update the problem?
    -- If so, how do I go back to iTunes 7.7?
    Thanks!

    Hi, I'm new to iTunes and apple, but this is happening to me too! I've got iTunes 8 and whenever I run it, my wireless connection drops (disables itself) and cannot be restarted without rebooting the machine. Did you manage to find an answer?

  • Wireless connection drops sporadically

    I have a Linksys router that wirelessly connects my iBook G4 and my roommate's G4 tower. It also connects to my G4 tower, but that's a wired connection.
    I used to use a Linksys Wireless-B (2.4 ghz 802.11b), but it broke and now I have a Wireless-G. But, both router's gave me the exact same problem. Sporadically, the wireless connection just drops for about 5 or 6 seconds. I haven't seen any pattern, as far as how often it occurs, and I can't for the life of me figure out why it's happening.
    I was told that it might be interference, so I changed the channel to 11, and everything seemed to work great for about 3 or 4 days. Then, it started happening again. I switched to channel 1, and that didn't help. I switched to a different channel, again no help. Now I'm back on 11, and it's still dropping off sporadically.
    I'm pretty sure this never happens to the wired connection, but I don't use that computer very often. Any suggestions? This has been going on for months, and I don't have the faintest idea how to fix it!

    I am with you Joel.
    I recently purchased a G5 iMac with built-in AirPort and I am having the same problem. Yes I have a cordless phone in the house and it could be interfering, but I also have a Windows laptop (I know, I know...Booo) which is on the same wireless network and it has no trouble communicating. I have tried different channels on my router and the Mac works for awhile, but then the connection starts and stops.
    I was hoping the latest firmware updates for AirPort would have one for the Extreme card, but no go.
    I haven't yet sat the wireless router right next to the computer to see if that cures the "interference", but that is the next step in my troubleshooting. If the pulsing internet stops pulsating and I get a constant connection I will believe all the interference rhetoric, but until then I am sceptical.
    Note: I also tried the "Interference Robustness" setting and that just made it worse. There doesn't seem to be much help on that setting so I have abandoned it. Any insight from anyone on that setting?

  • Wireless Connection drops after a few moments

    Hello everbody!
    Background: I have a cheap laptop with a windows only ACPI module, so I have to set acpi=off at all times anyway. I tried Ubuntu, which has the wireless problem too, but instead of repairing something bloated like Ubuntu, I now found my way to Arch to make it right from the beginning.
    If the wireless problem gets solved, I want to go on installing the nvdia driver, maybe configure xmonad. (I want to try KDE4 for fun too though, eyecandy you know ) Simple working desktop without getting my laptop heated up like windows does.
    The problem: I set up my wireless connection like the wiki says:
    -The original SSID was "FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7270 Annex A" which I tried to escape with \ and using 'ssid'. This wouldn't work at all, if you have any explanation for that I'd love to know it. I changed the SSID to something without spaces and special characters and the connection would work. But it would be nice to change it back to the original.
    -So it works now. Fine, I thought. But the connection drops after a few moments and I have to "killall wpa_supplicant dhcpcd" and start them again to make it work again. For a few moments only. So I went through the logfiles and found error messages which Google wouldn't help me solve on my own. Now I'm asking the Arch specialists here
    Note: Using the partedmagic livecd, the wireless connection works out of the box and absolutely stable. I believe even a bit faster than under windows. So it has to work perfectly, I just don't know how to make it in Arch yet.

    Thanks in advance to anyone helping me! I really really want to get Arch going. It's ideal for this laptop, no wasting of disk space, ressource friendly, the temperature doesn't go up as much with less cpu usage I guess..
    I've written quite a bit, but hopefully this makes it easier for you to help me! I've included all I thought which could be useful.
    Greetings from Germany,
    Fenris

    The easiest solution might be to setup NetCfg somehow with your wifi card and access point.  Have you tried that?  Can you find your card's chipset on the wiki?(chances are that your particular chipset will need a firmware put into /lib/firmware.  Again that's found on the wiki on the NetCfg or Wifi page, I forget which sorry.)  Those are two places where I'd look for good information.
    By the way, your rc.conf is way out of date.  You should look at updating it by using the recent rc.conf.pacnew file that you'll find in the /etc directory.

  • Wireless connection drops on iPhone4

    My wireless connection at home drops frequently on my iPhone4.  It will not allow me to reconnect.  The connection is not being dropped on any of my computers attached to the wireless connection, so my carrier believes it is a problem on the iPhone.  I have tried removing the internet connection and then resetting it, including the password required.  This does not help.  The only way I am able to restore the connection is to unplug and reset my wireless modem.  I am then able to restore the connection, but then I am dropped again after a short while.  Anyone out there with similar problem or with a solution?

    Does your wireless indicator on your iPhone show a strong connection? A lot of things could play in to what's going on (the router you are using...other devices in your household affecting the wireless signal, etc). Does this only happen with your home wifi connection or do you experience the same thing no matter where you use wifi? If it's only at home then I doubt it's the phone alone. If you can repeat the same issue regardless of where you use wifi then you might want to contact tech support or go to a local store where they can try troubleshooting. I personally don't have any issues with my iPhone 4 losing wifi connection in my home or elsewhere. The usual things will be first suggested: reset/restart/restore your iPhone to see if that helps.

  • Apple MacBook Pro is dropping wireless connection:

    Hi All,
    For the last 2 days my wirless connection is not persistent. it connects for minutes and then it gets disconnected automatically.(says Authentication server is not responding but it is still connected for few minutes). Afer some 2-3 mins connection gets disconnected. If i turn off n on the wireless adapter it gets connected again. below are my system logs, after reading some thread in some forum i understand some Airport issue with the mac pro. Im ready to try out your thoughts,

  • Dropping wireless connection with Apple Wireless Keyboard

    I've got a new bluetooth chip in my iMac from support at my location, a new wireless keyboard and I'm still having issues. Wireless connection dropped 6 times typing this one sentence. Aaargh. I've been busy with this ever since I bought the computer. On irregular intervals (absolutely no regularity whatsoever) the computer loses connection with my Apple Wireless Keyboard. So if I have a new iMac, with a new bluetooth chip and a new keyboard how come this issue is still an issue? It's driving me mad. And possibly the guys at the centre as well.

    Hi mvoltage
    Do you have any appliances with motors or other mobil telephone devices setup near the iMac?
    Both motor flux fields and Cordless Phone Base Stations can and will interfere with the operation of the iMac's wifi and airport signals.
