Having speed drop issue.

Hi,
I am having a speed drop issue since about this Saturday, in the night time and I dont see what the problem is?. The connection is being tested with ethernet cable straight to the HH3 and I have nothing else running in the background, no updates on the PC and all consoles are shutdown etc.. does anyone know why this is because I have never had this issue before and you will notice the speed drop downstream of about 2MB missing in the synch speed test, all tests I do I get the same results in the 22.6MB range Downstream and the uploadstream is always the same result at 2.26MB:-

Thanks guys for the replys.
@sjtp. Yes mate I agree maybe I should not be so concerned about the speed issue seen as though I do have a prity solid good connection for everything, its just a little annoying I am losing over 2MB somewhere, some how.
@curiousfellow. I have done just that m8ty and found channel 3 seems to be the best for me. I do get upto 300mbps on devices and no drop. I have ran through them all and noted down speeds, traces (bbc.co.uk) and pings to speedtest.net site and channel 3 is doing me justice it seems, its just the over 2MB difference that is bugging me out.
Can you see though guys, in my test it says 25.3MB to my modem but to my PC using ethernet to my HH3 I am gettting 22.6MB, I am losing quite alot, but why is the big question???, it is really annoying me, its not as though I am using long ethernet cables to connect to my HH3 or to my PC they are just normal length cables, actually also they are Cat 6 not 5 so there top notch ethernet cables, gold as well, I didched the BT ones for better cables!!!!. One time when I was first connected to Infinity, 6 months back I was getting around 27000kbps to my PC but that gradually went down so I went along with that cause others connected to Infinity in my area and I was one of the first houses to connect so I expected a drop but now over time it seems to be gradually getting lower and lower to my frustration!!!.

Why am i having data dropping issues

I have typical data problems when im in doors but the most biggest problem i have, that i have been having, is when i use my phone as a hotspot, the data will drop and come back and it does it alot....some times i have to turn the hotspot off or turn my phone off and turn it back on trying to resolve the problem but sometimes it fixes but most of the time the problem keeps happening as long as im using my phone as a hotspot...i use it to connect my computer to the internet....I would like to know if the problem can be fixed, is it a hardware problem or is it a program or driver/ something that is effecting the way the radio works on the phone...plus my battery drains pretty quick just using it normal...i really am starting to not like the phone and it is because of this issue, i need it addresses and hopefully i will receive a fix.....samsung galaxy s 3

I will try removing the sim card.....If im using the hotspot and again it goes to doing the same thing as before, i will know that the sim card was not the problem....The battery thing is not so much a problem because i have an extra battery if need to change it...So that is really not such a bad problem....I just know that i can have a good signal with 4g or 3g and it vanishes to nothing, then comes back and then goes away again. It does this alot of times. If i turn off the hotspot, the signal will be ok...the problem usually happens when i use hotspot. I cannot imagine that u have never heard of this problem before, when i see alot of comments concerning this problem. I have even google online to see if others have the same problem, which i have found out many have the same problem as i am having with the radio part...If i have a good signal area and the signal just vanishes for unknown reasons, then it has nothing to do with a zipcode area, because it happens again in areas with the best signals...it just drops and vanishes, either the 4g or 3g...I think if you research this problem, you will see that there is more that is having this problem than just me...I think it has something to do with the build on this phone, I have not had this problem with any other phones that i have had....Like i said, i will try the sim card. thank you norman

I am having some serious issues with firefox, i can't print anything because it is stuck on fax and I can't use any of the drop down menus on any site

I am having some serious issues with firefox to the point of choosing another search engine. I can't print anything because it is stuck on fax and won't let me change it to my printer when i do try to select my printer it jumps right back to fax. The drop down menus do not work on any of the sites I go to. For example when purchasing clothes and you have to choose a size from a drop down menu I can't do it when I click on the drop down menu it doesn't work at all. I don't have a virus I ran my virus protector and no viruses are present. I don't have any suspicious issues going on with my computer so there has to be something in Firefox that is causing my issues. I tried internet explorer and I don't have any issues there. I hope you can help me because I love Firefox and would really like to continue to use it.

Lots of issues there, main one getting fcpx going again, try deleting the preferences using the utility deveoped by these guys.

PLW400 Speed drop and other issues

Hi..
I bought the PLW400 a while back and it's been working perfectly for months!.. but two weeks ago it stopped working.. so I turned it off and back on but still didn't work. So I did a full reset and reconfigured everything and it finally worked.. but the speed dropped from 20mb to 1mb!! and every few hours it stops working and appear to have lost connection or sometimes it works but with a super slow (dial up like) speed! and sometimes when it stops all of the sudden I see the LEDs blinking slow or turned off!
I've tried to plug it in different places and it was all the same, but when I tried plugging it in next to the main device in the same room I got 10mb.. better but still! my original speed when connecting directly to my router is 40mb!! What's going on here?
Has anyone else experienced something like this? can someone please help me?

Hi Husam,
Thank you for your questio. However this community is for Cisco Small Business Products and the PLW400 is a Linksys product. Here is the area that may help you further with your question. http://support.linksys.com/en-us/support/powerline/PLW400

Massive speed drop during peak time!!

Hi,
I recently switched over to BT broadband (3/11/2014) and unfortunately I have been having some major issues with download speeds during peak times. Off peak times I usually register download speeds of around 12-14Mbps, which is great, but during peak hours (11:00-14:00 and 18:00-22:00) my download speed drops to anywhere between 0.01-1.0Mbps, even on a wired connection. I fully expect speeds to drop during these hours (even though BT claimed on their website that they wouldn’t) but in no way should they even be this slow surely. The internet is completely unusable when the speeds drop as pages can take several minutes to load and I am currently paying for Netflix and Amazon Prime subscriptions that I simply can’t use because videos or streams will not load, they just constantly buffer!
I have been in contact with the online help chat with this issue and they simply recommended that I reset my router, and whilst this temporarily fixed the issue for a few hours, my problem soon returned. Since then I have not touched the router in over 10 days in the hope that the speeds would start to settle, and whilst off-peak times have improved, peak times are no better than before, and in some cases worse.
I have been patient and given the router and provider 3 weeks to settle down, but I am seeing absolutely no signs of improvement. As I said, I understand that speeds may drop during peak hours, but as it stands I’m basically losing my internet during this time. I’m starting to wonder what it is I’m paying for. I had no such trouble with my previous provider during peak hours, so I’m not sure why there is suddenly a problem.
I am using the Home Hub 4, and here are my ADSL Stats and my test results from Sunday evening (23/11/14):
13:58:12, 23 Nov. ( 81.290000) DSL noise margin: 5.60 dB upstream, 6.10 dB downstream

Upload speed: 0.87 Mbps
Speedtest result:
I have tried to get a result from the BT Speed checker, but my internet won’t even load it as of around 7-8pm
During the week I have been browsing the forums in an attempt to locate a possible solution and I came across this thread in which the original poster describes a problem very similar to mine. It seems that switching their line at the exchange to a less congested one seemed to alleviate the problem?
https://community.bt.com/t5/ADSL-Copper-Broadband-Speed/Slow-Peak-time-broadband/m-p/1111272/highlig...
Anyway, hopefully someone can help address and solve these issues as I’m starting to get a bit frustrated and beginning to regret my decision to switch providers.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Ben

I'm having FaceTime connectivity issues

I'm having FaceTime connectivity issues. Every time I FaceTime other apple user the connections drops right away.

Well I'm here to own up. My dad was over today and he has an iPad 2 with iOS 7.1.1 and mine ran 6.1.2. Over the table both on my wifi I tried to call him on facetime and he tried to call me, in both cases it failed due to lost connection as previously discussed. He said they had used it to call my brother in england yesterday with no issue.
I bit the bullet and decided with extreme reluctance to do the upgrade. I did a full backup whilst downloading the update on my windows pc and after the sync I applied the update. Luckily for apple's sake the facetime connection now works both ways but I'm still left with this hideously atrocious UI color scheme. I can however report that i can see no noticable reduction in performance so far. As per suggested on some sites I disabled automatic downloads & updates and tweaked the accessibility settings to "reduce motion" and "increase contrast" including enabling button shapes and reducing white point. Everything seems to work fine and Thankfully I don'rt feel like I have a hobbled device. Clearly something between 7.0 and 7.1.1 has brought iPad 2 back up to speed so to speak.
Oh and I still hate you Apple, cheers.

Speed dropped last week and hasn't recovered...

Hi,
So my internet speed dropped significantly last week and hasn't recovered. I'm wondering if I need a manual intervention to reset my profile but hopefully someone more ADSL-knowledgeable out there can assist. Note as a professional software engineer I'm reasonably tech savvy, and have taken all the usual steps:
* Router is now permanently plugged into the test socket, and has been for weeks, ruling out any internal wiring
* Have tried different routers. I found the HomeHub4 to be unstable (needing to be factory reset regularly) so am currently running with a TP-Link N600 which has been rock solid since powering on weeks ago.
* Firmware in router up to date, no viruses or spyware on any attached devices
* Speed checks all the same regardless of device (phone, tablet, laptop) or connection method (wired, wireless 2.4GHz, wireless 5GHz)
* Router resets made no difference
* Until I switched to BT a couple of months ago I had rock solid 8 to 10 megs download (definitely starting to wish I hadn't switched from Sky, although they had their own set of issues!). In fact until a week ago BT's speed had been pretty reliable, sometimes as low as 8 megs download, but sometimes up to 14 megs download.
Here are the stats from the router:
I have also run various speed tests (including BT and BT wholesale) which all confirm the same results. Ping times around 45ms, download speed 1.95 meg, upload speed 0.75 meg. It has been many years since I have experienced such a low internet download speed, and it is only just capable of streaming low resolution content, HD is definitely off the cards!
Looking at the router stats that SNR Margin looks high? I'm assuming my low sync rate is due to that? However I can't see anything that has changed physically in my setup in the last week. Could be exchange-side? Also note I did the "quiet line" test by calling 17070 (option 2). No obvious noise, just a very quiet digital hiss (I'll try to get an analogue phone and do the test again). However it sounded pretty clean to my ears.
Finally samknows tell me my exchange is 1038 metres away and I should expect at least 6.5 meg download.
So I'm a little bewildered why I'm now having to live with such poor download speed when for at least the last 4 or 5 years I've consistently had at least 6 meg download and usually somewhere between 8 and 10 meg (and as you can see from the router stats it was as high as 14 meg since the router was powered on).
If I could upgrade to Infinity or Virgin cable I would do so in a heartbeat but sadly neither are in my street. I was hoping that with a few days of stable connection my speed would increase but this hasn't happened. Any assistance or advice on the above would be very much appreciated.
Cheers,
Tich

Hi,
Many thanks - I had no awareness of "banded" profiles before! Sadly I just did a last-ditch router reset this morning to see if it would assist (before posting here). Previously it had been up for 5+ days with no resets, and a very stable (but slow!) 2 meg download speed. My current connection time is 0 day(s) 01:11:18 so obviously far less than 3 to 5 days. Willing to wait another 3 to 5 days to see if it improves, but I did that last week to no avail (kicking myself for not screen grabbing my uptime prior to resetting this morning now!).
Is there anything else I should do other than wait another 3 to 5 days and post again confirming a continuation of the problem?
Cheers,

My macbook pro is suddenly having major performance issues

Hi,
I´ve been having some performance issues with my Macbook Pro (late 2006) and was hoping that someone here might be able to help me figure out what it is.
It all started about a month ago with the disc utility giving me an error.
The error said something about the amount of threads being wrong.
I popped in the install dvd and fixed the problem. I also did a complete reinstall and upgraded from leopard to snow leopard.
There was nothing wrong with the S.M.A.R.T.-status of the drive.
At the same time the hardrive error came around my cpu started to choke. The cpu-problem didn´t go away after I repaired the disc and formatted the drive and installed 10.6.
Now it feels like the cpu is running way below it´s capacity. Even the simplest of tasks make my computer choke.
My audio applications are working at about half the speed of what they used to handle. Converting a wave file to mp3 takes about twice as long, and converting a video is even worse.
I haven´t had any problems since I bought it in 2006. It is still running smooth - except for the lack of speed. It´s not really acting weird or being unstable, just slow. Way slower than it is supposed to be (and was before).
And it happened overnight.
I also had a kernel panic last week. But after restarting the system it went away and I haven´t seen it since.
My specs are: C2D 2.16, 3GB RAM, 120GB 5400rpm hdd, OS 10.6.4...
Would really appreciate help of any/every kind!
I fear that this might be the end of my work horse

Well, kind of a good news bad news situation for you.
Bad news, is that your hard drive is dying. Make sure you back things up while you still can. Disk Utility's SMART status is generally just this side of useless I'm afraid. I've seen plenty of drives that are completely toast, that will show up as "Verified".
Good news, is that as repairs go, this is close to as cheap as they get. It's up to you if you want to attempt doing it yourself, but be sure to look for some kind of take apart guide first. Look it over, and if you're even a little unsure, take it somewhere. Shortly after this model they started making it a lot easier to do HDD upgrades, not that it does you a lot of good.
Anyway, even for a system as old as yours, this is a very cost effective repair if everything else is still working fine, and you're satisfied with the system. It's also a good opportunity to upgrade, give yourself a little extra space. No need to go overboard, but maybe a 250GB drive or so. A touch over 2X the space you had before, which can be had on the cheap. Just about any 2.5" SATA drive should work in that system.

My Internet Connection Dropping Issues...

I too am having the occasional Internet connection dropping issues. Phone and TV continue to work.
Since I had Fios installed last November I am on my third ONT and 2nd router. When I called in my latest drop yesterday the call center person told me I had a hardware issue because my computer had a valid IP address assigned. I tried to teach her something about DHCP but she would not listen to me. I asked her to please reboot the ONT and she refused because "nothing was indicating a problem with it". Whatever...
Each time the Internet goes out the router acts fat and happy. I have full green on WAN Coax, and strangely enough, a flashing green Internet activity indicator. Logging into the router shows that I am MOCA connected and assigned a WAN IP address. But I can't get out past the router at all. On the event that led to me getting a replacement router the lady said she could talk to the ONT just fine, but not the router. We reset the router and ONT port numerous times and the connection finally came back up.
I am not sure of the protocol between the ONT and router, but I think the ONT is keeping enough signal going to make the router "think" its happy, but then the ONT is not passing packets at some point. After yesterdays call and the refusal to reset the ONT I just hung up on her and reset it myself. Of course everything started working just fine...like I thought it would.
So what is the issue here? Is MOCA a mess? Is an Ethernet connection to the ONT better? I am utterly disgusted with this miserable system and can't afford to continue having these outages.
I should also add the other wonderful features I have seen. When I tried to powercycle the *new* router yesterday it decided to dump its entire config including my port forwarding. Nice... And I have given up using wireless because if I set the router for WPA it locks up so hard that it takes a master reset to get going again.
Anyone have some advice on getting this system stable?

I would try using a non-verizon router. I used the Netgear router and it fixed my problem. The Verizon router seem to be pieces of garbage and they over-hear.

Broadband Speed dropped and wont come back

Hi, I need help and advice please.
Background info first though, so please bare with me.
During last July 2011 I was fed up of very low speeds and managed to get a BT engineer out to check the wiring etc... He did a great job by finding a badly insulated cable between myself and the Cabinet in our village. He also changed our master socket to a newer version.
Over the next few days my broadband speed went from 0.74mb download to 1.95mb download. Fantastic!
This speed has pretty much been a consistent rarely dropping below 1.7mb and at times has even gone up to my highest recorded of 2.46mb. I thought this was brilliant, I could watch iPlayer no problems and xbox live was even bearable (most of the time).
The big problem where I live is sometimes we have power cuts. Sometimes lasting hours but mainly just for seconds. Even so it switches the BB router off. (I know, but not my fault)
When we had the freak snow fall the other month problems started to raise their head. The computers in the household found issues connecting to the router and to resolve this BT BB Helpdesk kept advising me to reset router to enable connection. After connecting new ADSL filters the speed returned but connection issues continued.
BT supplied me with a brand new home hub 3 which I connected thinking it would give me my 2.4mb speeds again. Oh No. To be fare I think I was getting 1.95mb but I wanted more, as most people would. Why cant I get 2.4mb most of the time I have had for a few months.
Anyway I contacted BT who were kind enough to send a BT engineer out. He Said to me the Broadband speed is put out at the exchange (4.5km) at 8mb and comes into our village at between 3mb and 4mb. He detected no fault on the lines and spent the next 3 hours renewing 'D' and 'E' I think side of cabling (found this out later). He mentioned the noise was high but did something to lower it. On leaving he said I had 2.5mb and was confidant it would rise to 3mb.
Great not drastic but should give me 250kbs to 50kbs extra.
The day he was at my house we had 2 short power cuts followed by another couple some days later. This has not helped I'm sure.
NOW TO THE ISSUE.
My download speed since that day has not gone above 1.46mb download and every time I speak to the call centre they tell me my line is only capable of 2mb therefore 1.46mb is within acceptable range.
I am so tired of explaining that I was capable of receiving 2.4mb some 2 months ago yet now since the new hub 3 and line fiddling I am only capable of a 2mb downstream - 1.46mb DLS.
I know I have to wait 3 - 10 days but with power cuts its a nightmare, and they are so adamant about my 2mb downstream limit What the hell has happened.
Here is a link to my recorded (Speedtest.net) data over the past 11 months showing actual proof of receiving 2.46mb:
http://www.speedtest.net/results.php?sh=19a6b38248773feaa954bcf8e17ae768&ria=0

Hi JONNYYOUNG,
I'm not educated enough to help but it mat reassure you, as it did me, to know your circumstances are not unique.
Your story sounds very simialr to my experiende last November, speeds and line length being very similar. An engineer said there was noise on my line so he switched me to another pair. Did the engineer do that for you too ? Net result my speed dropped from ~2.3 to ~1.4Mbps.
Fortunately a 21CN upgrade at my excahnge has brought my speed back up to ~2.4Mbps.
I'm sure imjolly, john46 and maybe a mod if you need it will sort you out as well as they did me.
Good luck,

Is there a fix for the MBP wireless dropping issue?

I began to experience the Macbook Pro dropping wireless connectivity on my very 1st Apple in 2008. At the end of the day my machine was replaced with a new Macbook Pro mid 2010. It appeared to be working just fine until about 2-3 months ago when I started dropping my wireless printer connection. I searched the internet hoping for a driver update from HP or something from Apple and each time I found something, the problem still existed. I even thought that by upgrading to Lion would resolve any issues that I have with my MBP wireless connectivity issue. After upgrading to buying a new router, new printer and upgrading to Lion; the wireless dropping issue still remains unresolved! I know there are several hundred in not thousands of people who are having the same problem so what are we supposed to do?
When my 1st MBP was replaced in 2010 I had to stop working because I was diagnosed with "Failed Back Surgical Syndrome" and was in the process of applying for disability. Something in the back of my mind said that I needed to purchase Apple Care for this new replacement however I had used all of my savings & retirement to sustain life for me and my family that there was nothing for Apple Care. If it weren't for my church and family I am not sure what I would do during the 18 months of no income while waiting for a decision only to receive an appeal until I findly stood in front of an Administrative Law Judge who heard my case and granted me disability. Besides there was no way I could ask anyone for money to purchase a warranty for a top of the line laptop while the country was falling off an economical cliff.
I broke down and called Apple Support and was told that I qualified for technical assistance regarding the upgrade to Lion a few weeks ago. The tech on the phone had me run some disk utility tests and had me repair permissions which she said could be the cause of the problem. I willingly went along with her in hopes that this was indeed the fix. However, within 10 minutes of hanging up the phone my MBP began to drop it's wireless connection to my new HP printer and also the Internet. Hence my question above is what I am really looking to have answered! What is the fix to this problem that so many people are having issues with? I couldn't afford to purchase Apple Care back in 2010 and I can't afford to purchase a new 2011 machine today if that truly is the fix!
I will be disabled for the remainder of my life and I have grown dependent upon my computer to stay in touch with friends and colleges from work. I worked for the IT Group at Wynn Resorts and I can say that the type of service Appple is providing it's customers is not what I learned over the past 25 years with Mr. Wynn. Why can't Apple get the simple concept that it's customers are it's life line and keeps them in business. I need help and I don't know what to do nor where to turn. It would be different if Apple acknowledged the issue and said they were working on it however they aren't. I plead to Apple to help me fix my notebook so I can stay connected to the outside world vs. couped up inside my home.
Best Regards,
Scott Leavitt

I am simply lookig for some help not an argument. I am not an RF specialist however have setup a few wireless networks in my tenure at Wynn Resorts. I fully agree that wireless networking is an art and a science however the powers that be in Network Land have toughted wireless networking is the easiest and quickest way to get two computers to talk with one another. As I previously said I have already turned one (1) MBP in for this problem and Apple decided to replace it because they could not fix the problem with my particular MBP. This MBP was running Leopard when the problems started
I am having a hard time believeing that there are several other devicces in my home that depend on a wireless network to operate and my MBP is the only one having an issue. I took this a step further and decided to see what would happen if I tried to connect wirelessly via Fusion. In Windows 7 I am able to print and scan to my hearts content without any issues. I am able to browse the internet as much as I want. I close Fusion and try to connect to my printer via wireless and nothing.
In order to get Apple to help do I need to get a Network Analyzer and capture packets when I have these problems? Out of the 1000 + posts is there a consolidation of which answer is the best? BTW I am accessing the internet via a wireless connection using Fusion and Windows 7.
In response to Linc's comments, I will look at the router specifications however I did not qualify that these devices are not using the wireless connection at the same time. Right now I would guess there are maybe two (2) or three (3) at the most that are actively transmitting / receiving information. -- Thanks

After upgrading to iOS4 on your 3GS, are you having battery & signal issues

I was having big problems with my battery life (10% per hour at best) and also signal dropping issues from time to time.
Last night though I solved all these problems... HOW ??
Via iTunes, restore your iPhone and select the option "as new iPhone" NOT from a backup. This option totally resets your iPhone (no music, videos, data, applications or games saves) but my iPhone was fully charged at 7.30am and now 10 hours later I still have 60% battery.
This now means that my iPhone can last the whole working day before going DEAD !!
Don't get me wrong the RESTORE is a pain but in the long run it looks like the only thing that will sort out your battery problems.
Good luck ... it worked for me !!

Well, it would seem that the issue here is that iOS4 is not properly reading the backup that was created before the update. Or the backup is not being created in a properly formatted manner. There are just too many cases of a post upgrade issue being solved by restoring as a new phone for it not to be bad data.
Pain in the hiney, I know. And this is nothing new. All the way back through the iPhone's iPod roots, there has alway been a point in the troubleshooting tree that comes down to "restore the iPod". Just a more awkward thing now that the iPod has evolved into a phone and is trying to keep any number of settings straight. Not to mention no one wants to take their phone down unless there is no other option.

BT Infinity evening and weekend speed drops

Hi,
I have a BT Business Hub 5 and Infinity package.
My connection during the working week in the day is usually around:
27.95MB/s down, 4.63Mb/s up and a ping of around 20ms.
Often in the evenings and on weekends the speed drops to around:
1.5MB/s down, 4.5Mb/s up and a ping of anywhere between 20ms and 60ms
I called up BT Business suport and raised a ticket to only have an email the next day stating your issue has been resolved, however it has not been resolved. Obviously they done a test in week day during the day when it is usually fine and not in the evening or on the weekend.
Basically my old 8Mb package from BT was often faster in the evenings and on weekends, with a typical connection of:
3.5 to 5Mbps down and a 0.35Mbs up, ping times were between 20ms and 120ms)
This translates to if I was on my old 8Mb package from BT I could download at around 720Kbs max during the evenings and weekends instead of 160Kbs.
Anyone actually got BT to solve this? I've read a lot of posts so far where people are just writing letters of complaint and contacting the ombidsman.
Is there is a resolution to this?
Thanks

Mac OS X lion 10.7.3 Wi-Fi connection Drop Issue

Hi All,
I've iMAC OS X Lion 10.7.3 latest version desktop. For couple of months, I'm dealing with dropping wi-fi connection during working. I've look at all the forums and discussions and tried many things to solve the issuse, however, issue still exist.
   Every a few minutes, even during surfing though internet pages, wi-fi connection drops. When you look at the signal level etc.. everything is seems to be fine, but it is not possible to connect internet after close-open wi-fi.
   For a while, connection drop happens again.
   I do not understand why Apple does not give a fix for this while most the customer having such an issue.
Any one having any idea how to solve this ?
Regards
Gokcer

I have a similar problem. My Macbook Pro won't keep a constant wi-fi connection, becuase it continues to seek alternative networks even after locking onto a strong signal. I've reset preferences and started from scratch with all the settings and let the Mac set them by itself, but still it does the seeking. At home I used to have a direct LAN into my Airport Extreme, but now I use wi-fi on 4G/LTE and I've tried the computer with and without the Airport Extreme, with and without a Cradlepoint, and with various channels and security levels.
As has been document probably hundreds of times in these forums, Macbook Pros (my model) and some other Macs have had this issue from either 10.7.2 or 10.7.3 (I've got 10.7.4 right now). I'm glad you found a solution to your problem, but for the hundreds or thousands of us who've had this problem since last August with no solution from Apple, it's quite frustrating. I know it's not politically correct to blame the computer when it's been given a defective upgrade with Lion, but let's call it what it is. I'll side with the numbers. Either a sudden batch of defective routers showed up from Taiwan, and a group of late 2008 and 2009 Macbook Pros bought them all en masse, or it's the software.
So if you still have problems after you get a clear signal, start sending messages to Apple to get it fixed for all of us. I bring this up for you as an alternative, as I noticed you were running 10.7.3, and the problems started somewhere around 10.7.2 or 10.7.3. Something to keep an eye on.

Just upgraded to OSX mavericks on macbook pro mid 2011 version. Having a big issue here that whenever my mac comes back from sleep, i.e after I open the lid, the screen flickers and there is an error of Finder not opening properly. Any fix to this?

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!
