Help! Wifi keeps turning on and off repeatedly

Hi,
So I've been having this problems where randomly my wifi signal will suddenly turn off for like 3 seconds, then turn back on for 3 seconds, then turn off for 3 sec, etc etc... it will do this for like an entire afternoon! So it won't let me on the internet. Sometime I can get it to stop temporarily (when I say temporarily, I mean like for 5 min) when I turn airport off, then turn it back on. But it will just start up again in 5 min.
I thought it was because I bought a cheap $30 Belkin wireless router, so I decided to breakdown and buy the $100 airport express router, thinking it would be top quality. But the problem still persists!
However, I don't have this problem when I use my iPod touch with the wifi (the signal remains the same), so I'm thinking it's a problem with my laptop...
I've been searching the internet for solutions, but I can't find anyone with the problem. Does anyone know how to fix it?
I would really appreciate any advice, thanks!!!

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Why does my phone keep turning on and off repeatedly?

    My phone was acting up so I turned it off and when I turned it back on it seemed to start normally but then it started the spinning screen for about 3 minutes, then a second of blue screen and started back up and just keeps doing that.  It never properly turns on.  I had to hold the home button and power button until it stopped.  I did try to do a hard reset but that didn't work either.

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

    Try this. It worked for a few users after a drop.
    Turn the iPad over and give it a very HARD slap on the back. May take several slaps.

  • New 5th generation headphones keep turning on and off my music. Which wire do I cut to disconnect the control system for the right earbud

    The wires are probably loose in the rubber and the control panel on the right ear bud keep turning on and off my music, summoning s voice, and turning up and down my music. It's really obnoxious and I would like to know which wire to cut to disconnect the control panel. Thanks.

    I had exactly the same issue when connecting my new BLACK 60mb Video iPod to connect to my PC via USB 2.0.
    The iPod kept Crashing & Freezing also iTunes become unstable and very slow, it kept saying "unable to write to disk" every 5 minutes and I had to disconnect & re-connect for the same message to show again in 5 mins later, it eventually told me not to disconnect the iPod. However, after 30 mins i just did it.
    I then opened iPod updater and re-attached my ipod with USB 1.
    This seemed to take an age to recognise (5 mins +) but bear with it. Once it was connected I reinstated to factory settings, once I did this it automatically told me to update my software to 1.1.1.
    When I then opened iTunes it again took 5 mins to connect, but it then started to transfer my music, which took over 6 hours to do 22MB.
    Having said that I have had no "can not write messages"
    Today I have conencted (again taking 5 mins to connect) but it has transfered over 1000 photos in under 4 mins and updated all tunes.
    hope this helps,

  • My iPad keeps turning on and off by itself

    Hi! My iPad just keeps turning on and off by itself. I tried turning it off "ON MY OWN" and turning it back on but it keeps returning to the issue. Is there anyone that can help with my issue? I have the "iPad Mini" . There are some times where it will just stop and next thing you know, I go to a app and it returns to the issue :( . ( BY THE WAY, I did update the iPad to the  final  update , but it still continues to turn on and off by itself WITHOUT me even touching it. What should I do????

    Restore the iPad completely (this is a fresh install of the iOS not just an update).
    1) Backup your iPad. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    2) Restore the iOS via iTunes. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
    3) Restore from your Backup created in step 1. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766

  • My ipod got wet and now it keeps turning on and off.

    - Yes. Restoring the iPod erases the iPod.
    - Try a reset to:
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Try placing the iPod in Recovery mode and then restoring
    - Next try DFU mode

    - If you can't turn it off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for  at least an hour try again.

  • External HD keeps turning on and off after Leopard install

    Since I've installed Leopard, my external HD seems to keep turning on and off at random times (i.e. the disk starts spinning for a little while, then stops, then starts again) when I'm not doing anything to access the HD. Any ideas if this is an issue with Leopard or something wrong with my HD? It wasn't an issue before Leopard.

    Glad to know that I'm not the only one and that I'm not going crazy!
    At least in my situation, TM has never been turned on. It might be Spotlight, but my guess is that after being installed for several days now, that most anything needing to be indexed would have been indexed. No virus checkers installed. Also, my external HD is only for backup (not saving stuff or autosaving stuff on the external HD).
    I've noticed it a bit more when using Safari, but that may be purely a coincidence. The solution I've basically used has been to eject my HD and then re-mount it when I need to use it.
    If anyone knows of anything, please let us know!
