How can i fix my wifi connection with my router

how can i fix my wifi connection with my router?

I think I'm having a similar problem, my wifi disconnects when a bluetooth device is connected to the MBA.
I have a MacBook Air (13-inch, Mid 2012) with WiFi and Apple Trackpad. I'm unable to use the trackpad(bluetooth) and wifi at the same time. If I turn off the trackpad then the wifi works fine and if I shutoff the wifi then the trackpad works fine. This configuration was working fine prior to upgrading to Yosemite.
I experienced the same problem at home and at the office.
Additional test:
I turned off the bluetooth trackpad and connected my bluetooth headphones to the MBA. The wifi disconnected as soon as I paired the headphones with the MBA.
I have had no problems with the MBA's keyboard or integrated trackpad.

How can i fix intermittent wifi connection on imac 21"?

What I have is a mid-2011 iMac 21" entry-level computer. I was able to run wirelessly for about a year with no issues but lately my wifi connection intermittently drops every 10 minutes and it becomes very frustrating. My brother who is also using the exact same model connects to the same belkin router just fine. My iPhone 4S, my iPad, my brother's iPhone5 and the other computers in the house works just fine as well. I install all updates recommended. I would like to know if there is a workaround to get this issue fixed. Thank you.

Hello, dee.tercias.
Sometimes a simple power cycle of the router can correct the issue that you are experiencing. However, the issue could be a little more complex. Wi-Fi routers need adjustments to settings periodically for optimized performance with the constant progression of wireless device technology. Below, I have included two articles. The first article will cover basic Wi-Fi troubleshooting. The second article covers the recommended settings for current Wi-Fi access points.

I'm having multiple crashes on my new 5s. I can't connect to my Mac Pro!! Power cord broken. How can I fix this without connecting to my MacBook? Very frustrating and disappointing. Please help!!!

Hi there Rlong50,
You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

How can i fix my wifi option in settings? I can not turn it off or on because it is dim and gray

Try re-booting the phone. If that doesn't work, make an appointment at the genius bar. That usually indicates a hardware failure.

How can i extend this wifi connection by using 3TB time capsule? I have a mac book pro i7

Hi, i have a wifi in my house connected to an adsl wifi modem with fibernet speed. I just bought a time capsule with 3 TB and installed it at home. However during the first installation i couldn't connect TC to my modem with ethernet cable due to the absence of the cable.
I would like ask if i can extend the wifi range of my network by connecting my TC to my modem without a cable after the first installation with cable is done?
If yes,
Could you please explain how to do it?
Thanks in advance.

No, there is no modem in the TC.. you must continue to use the existing modem.
That can be bridged if your ISP allows it, and use PPPoE client on the TC. It is then the main router of the network.
Sometimes that setup is not possible.. the ISP supplied modem will not bridge or the ISP doesn't use PPPoE as there are a number of different methods to connect.. but the TC only supports that one.
Otherwise just plug the TC into the existing modem router and use it in router bridge mode.. this is the simplest setup and easy to do.
Create a wireless network and you can then use the TC instead of the main router for wireless if you like.

How do I fix my wifi connection

I accidentally dropped my iPhone 4 in a toilet the other day. I dried it out and everything works except for the wifi connection. I went to go to connect to wifi and not a single network showed up so I typed in the wifi name and password and it said it couldn't locate it. I used the wifi connection in my house while I was in in my house. I have also tried restoring it but that didn't work. Is there any way to fix this or can I send it in to get it fixed??
Thanks

Water and electronics don't mix. You've ruined your phone by dropping it in the toilet. Bring it into Apple along with $149 for an out of warranty replacement.

How can I create a WiFi LAN with AirPort ?

I saw somewhere a WiFi LAN (a PC with an external box) where I could put my own "Shared Folder" and see everyone's on the Lan shared data.
As far as I saw, with my included AirPort, I can't do the same, but this allows me to make an html server (computer to computer server, not LAN).
Am I wrong or must I buy an external box (please name it and explain why) ?
TIA,
Emile

I think part of the struggle here is in terminology. Don't take this the wrong way... after all I'm the one who is having trouble understanding the issue. These are hugely general definitions, but here goes:
WiFi just means wireless communication between '802.11' devices. Cell phone service, bluetooth, cordless phone sets, etc sometimes use the word WiFi, but that's just confusing... here we only mean wireless computer networking.
A LAN is a Local Area Network. In other words, two or more devices that talk using ethernet (even wirelessly) while geographically located very near to each other.
Airport is Apple's general brand name for all their 802.11 wireless networking devices. They did not invent the technology behind Airport, and thusly 'Airport' has all the same limits and power as it does for Windows and Linux. The term 'Airport' applies to wireless cards in Apple computers, Apple-brand Wireless Base Stations (other brands call theirs 'wireless access points' or 'wireless routers').
A server is just a computer that offers the transfer of data (like saved files, web pages, or email) to other devices.
Given all of that, I'm left wondering exactly what you meant in your post--what you are going for, specifically. You said you saw a WiFi LAN in the form of a PC with an external box. Did you perhaps see a Windows computer getting its network access from an external wireless device? If you were able to share files, that was all the doing of the Windows computer, with the WiFi device probably just transmitting the data between the computers. Later on you said that you are able to make an html server for computer to computer, but not LAN. I'm not sure what you mean.
In any case, let me just give you a run down of what you can do:
If you have a Mac with an Airport Card, you can join or create a wireless network:
--If you have an Airport Base Station, Airport Express, or third party Wireless Router, start here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh636.html
--Since you implied that you don't have any external networking devices though (a router, base station, access point, hub, or switch), you can still likely 'make due' as long as your Mac has an Airport Card. To get that internal card to allow direct wireless connections to your Mac from other computers, start here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=166640
Once you have all the computers talking to each other, you can share files, share an internet connection, or even host a website for the other computers from your Mac.
--If you want to read and write files stored on a Windows computer,
----turn on sharing in Windows: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;304040
----then connect with the Mac: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106471
--If you want share your Mac's files with Windows computers, start here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107083
--If you want to share your files in other ways (as a website for their browsers, for example), start here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106660
--If you want to connect your Mac to a phone/dsl/cable modem and share that internet connection with the other computer(s), start here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh336.html
Finally, here's another page from Apple... kind of an overview of Windows/Mac network connections: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=19652
In the end, no, you probably don't need an external networking box, but it would make everything easier, faster and (in my experience) much more robust. I personally suggest a Linksys WRT54G, but that's just me: http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?childpagename=US%2FLayout&packedargs=c% 3DLProductC2%26cid%3D1127782957298&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapper

How can i fix my wifi and bluetooth issues in yosemite?

Hi, after upgrading to Yosemite I've noticed that my bluetooth trackpad (Logitech t651) and wifi connection are having serious conflicts which result in sluggish trackpad response or occasional wifi connection drops.
I would have some occasional sluggishness with my trackpad in Mavericks but it would never lead to dropping of my wifi connection. Here is a little more about my configuration, my wifi connection is 2.4ghz, I have read that upgrading to 5GHZ would solve this problem but this would of course require me to purchase a new router which I would like to avoid. I have noticed that if i turn off my wifi, my trackpad is 100% smooth and responsive so the two issues are definitely connected. Does anyone have solution to fix this problem that doesn't include changing the wifi broadcast channel (which I've already tried), switching to 5GHZ, or utilizing an ethernet connection? Thanks

How can I make my wifi connection automatic?

Hi All,
we have a Timemachine and have a network setup on it. How can I make my connection to that network automatic when I turn on my macbook and eliminate all other close by net works? please email me at: [email protected]
thnks
Ken

i would like to know how to make my wifi connection invisible to others
This is not really possible, since there are any number of free utilities on the Internet that will reveal a "hidden" network in seconds. Anyone who wants to see your network will be able to do so very quickly and easily.
iOS devices like the iPhone and iPad often have difficulty connecting to a "hidden" network as well.
If you still want to do this......
Open Finder > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit in the smaller window that appears
Click the Wireless tab at the top of the next page
Click the Wireless Options button near the bottom of the page
Enter a check mark in the box next to Create hidden network
Click Save
Click Update at the lower right of the window and allow a minute for the Time Capsule to restart

How do I fix this internet connection with Mobile Me setup?

Hi to the forum,
I purchased an apple ipod touch from Officeworks a few months back, and finally decided to set it up to work today.
I would like to get the Mobile me setup going, so I can locate my ipod if I accidentally lose it somewhere.
The only problem, is that after I have entered my password [which I am believing is the same as my apple itunes password to download intunes], I get this message saying:
"Verification Failed. The internet connection appears to be offline."
I am not sure how to join my ipod touch to the internet. I have it connected to my computer and I have itunes going, and my ipod is showing it is connected to my itunes program. I just can't workout how to actually have my ipod connected to the internet.
I am using Windows 7, and it is 64 bit.
Thanks if anyone has any clues as to what I should do here.
best,
Steve :-)

Hi Vazandrew,
thanks kindly for your reply. I will check out the link.
thanks and best,

How to get a good wifi connection with Verizon FIOS?

Hello...
We switched to Verizon FIOS about a month ago, and since then I've had spotty connecting problems with wifi. My iMac needs to be re-connected a few times per day, as does my son's Macbook. Also, we have four iPhones and we all have to wait for our phones to switch to wifi from Edge when we turn them on. With our old NetGear router we had no problems. Our PC's are okay too. Just the Apple stuff. We've already called Verizon and they had us change our frequency, but that didn't help. Before calling them again I'm wondering if anyone has any advice? It's very frustrating. My husband thinks the Verizon modem/router is cheap compared to NetGear. But we're stuck with it. I'm still hoping to become a Verizon FIOS fan.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance, Deb

Joe -- we do have our cordless phone on a shelf next to the desk that the modem/router are on. But we also had it there when we had Time Warner and NetGear, with no problems. So I'm not sure that's it. Also since the location of the modem/router is the same as before, I don't know why the location would be a problem for the Macs now. My son had wifi problems with his PC before we switched, but now he's fine. I obviously have no idea about the neighbor's phones, nor could do anything about those if they were a problem.
We have noticed that our cordless phone has some problems that it didn't have before Verizon FIOS, but we haven't really dealt with that yet as our landline phone is really pretty pointless now that we all have iPhones.
I guess it's the channels that my husband is changing then, because he said there are channels 1-11, and we've used 1 and 11, and now he's trying 10. So far I'm not noticing much difference on my iMac. I still have to re-connect to the internet every time I wake my iMac from sleep, or turn it on in the morning. I never used to have to do that. Same with my younger son and his Macbook. Also our iPhones aren't connected immediately when we turn them on. They used to be.
The only thing I know about frequency is that our cordless phone is one or the other of the frequencies you mention, but I don't remember which one now.
I think we were given a user guide for the modem/router, and my husband has been reading through it, but not finding anything about turning off the wireless part of the router only. Thanks anyway though for the link. I'll check it out to see if it's something different.
Thanks, Deb

Slow WiFi Connection With New Router TP-Link W8960N

Hi Apple Support,
A few weeks ago I've purchased a TP-Link TD-W8960N wireless modem router so that I can share my WiFi internet with the following devices:
~ iMac running Snow Leopard OSX Version 10.6.7
~ iPhone
~ iPad
~ Mini-PC / Home Theatre PC (Running Windows 7)
At first my iMac wouldn't connect to the WiFi, but after changing it to Channel 11. My iMac successfully joined the WiFi Network.
But the past week my iPhone & iPad whenever I browse the internet it would respond very quickly.
But my iMac and Windows PC, some websites they would respond quick and several other websites it would not respond at all and takes such a long time to bring up the website.
I'm on a ADSL2 broadband connection.
Mac OSX version 10.6.7...
I tried also updating the router firmware...
My Current WiFi settings are:
Channel: 11
Mode: 11bgn (and I've also tried 11b, 11bg, and 11n only)
Bandwidth: 20Mhz (the other option is 40Mhz)
Fragmentation Threshold: 2346
RTS Threshold: 2347
DTIM Interval: 1
Beacon Interval: 100
Transmit Power: 100%
Wi-Fi Multimedia: Disabled
Any ideas would be greatly apprecatied...

If you have one computer running on G they will all run on G. All ROUTERS are backward compatible, in otherwords if you have a group of computers and all of them are N compatible and one or two are G They will all work but the N computers will run at N and those that are G will run at G speed not N.
It can get confusing but really it is simple. The newest is 802.11 AC and ic used with the newest Mac Computers made available in November 2013. So if you have the newest Airport Extreme that is 802.11ac and the newest computers that are AC compliant your speed will be 5 times faster than anything on the market right now.

Can any one help with advice on how to re-establish a wifi connection with my 3gs?

Up until yesterday I never had any problems at all. I have followed various suggestions from apple forums and teh closest I can get is that it is trying to connect but it never does and teh blue tick never appears. I can join other networkd but not the wifi one I want to.

How can I fix this printer error with Samsung SCX-4300 and SCX-4521f on Windows Server 2008 R2?

I have two printers installed on Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit):
1. Samsung SCX-4521f
2. Samsung SCX-4300
There are two computers (Windows 7 Professional, 32-Bit) connected to this server that utilise these shared printers.
The drivers installed are as follows:
SCX-4x21_Win7_Print.exe (Win 2000/XP/2003/Vista/2008/Win 7 3.04.96:03 Print Driver 11 Dec, 2009 12.37 MULTI LANGUAGE)
SCX-4300_Print.exe (Win 2000/XP/2003/Vista/2008/Win 7(32,64bit) 3.04.95:07 Print Driver Jan 19, 2011 53.07 MULTI LANGUAGE)
After printing documents for some time (within a 24 period) the printers no longer respond to print requests.
On the server opening "Control Panel\Hardware\Devices and Printers" shows the two printers with yellow exclamation marks.
The "SCX-4x21" printer shows the "Status" as "Needs troubleshooting" and "Printer: Error".
The "SCX-4300" printer shows the "Status" as "Needs troubleshooting".
Neither will print a test page.
Searching for new drivers automatically returns saying: "The best driver software for your device is already installed".
The error persists and nothing will print.
When double-clicking on the "SCX-4x21" printer (or going to "Control Panel\Hardware\Devices and Printers\Samsung SCX-4x21 Series") you see the following:
"Printer: Error" and "N document(s) in queue".
Clicking on either of these brings up the print queue and shows a document with the status of "Error - Printing".
As each job with an error is cancelled the next one attempts to print and also displays an error like the last.
Once all the jobs are cleared the printer information says "Printer: Ready".
Sending a "Print Test Page" sends the printer into an error state saying "Printer: Error".
With the "SCX-4300", sending a "Print Test Page" displays a bubble saying: "Toner Empty: Replace Toner".
However, I can't see any specific error messages.
How do I find out what exactly "Needs troubleshooting"?
Please can anyone advise further?

The printer (SCX-4300) has stopped again.
Since it has been stopped I have done your recommendations:
Unticked the "Enable bidirectional support" option under the "Ports" tab in the printer properties.
Set the "Interactive Services Detection" to Automatic and started it.
Unfortunately the printer did not start printing, the print jobs did not restart or delete.
I decided to check the Operational logs that we enabled.
The first job I see goes like this:
Information: Rendering job 41.
Error: The print spooler failed to delete the file C:\Windows\system32\spool\PRINTERS\00041.SHD, error code 0x2. See the event user data for context information.
Information: The print job 41 was sent through the print processor SSE1MPC on printer Samsung SCX-4300 Series, driver Samsung SCX-4300 Series, in the isolation mode 1 (0 - loaded in the spooler, 1 - loaded in shared sandbox, 2 - loaded in isolated
sandbox). Win32 error code returned by the print processor: 0x0.
Information:Printing job 41.
Information:Spooling job 41.
This job actually printed.
Other jobs printed fine with no error.
There are no other errors in the "Operational" log other than the "print spooler failed to delete" error.
Any ideas what to try now?
Update: Unticking the "Enable bidirectional support", clearing the print queue and then trying again seems to have fixed the problem for now.
