How do I stop Wi-Fi internet from dropping out?

Hi,
I recently purchased a new router/modem from my internet provider (Telecom) and my iMac will connect, the internet will work for 30minutes or so, then the internet will drop out, but the Wi-Fi is still connected, so I still have access to local services such as my Apple TV. To fix it, I have to turn off Wi-Fi on my computer and turn it back on again. These internet cutouts are annoying in a Skype call (I am a gamer), because you will be talking to someone, and it takes about a minute for skype to realise it has lost connection. Although the modem is Telecom (the main New Zealand telco) branded, it is a Huawei HG630b modem. I was wondering if anyone had this modem, or even another Huawei modem and had the same problem, and how they fixed it. My computer didn't start doing this until a week after we got the modem.
The modems website is here, don't think it will help though: http://help.telecom.co.nz/app/answers/detail/a_id/34264

  • Help! How do I stop my Wi Fi from dropping connection?

    I know this has been an ongoing issue with MacBooks, but now this has gotten to the point where it is stopping me from being productive with my work.
    Every 18 minutes or so, I can't reach any web pages even though the Airport Icon shows me connected at full strength. If I mess around with the network settings or turn off and on airport it does seem to help for awhile. Also if I close the lid or put the computer to sleep and then awaken it up, it will also help for awhile.
    I never had this problem when I was using 10.4.8. Ever since upgrading to 10.4.11, I have had the wireless problems.
    Any solutions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Are you running 10.4.11 on your MacBook?
    I never had any trouble with my Wireless until I installed 10.4.11
    I know there are many out there with the same type of issue, but I am starting to believe it must not be all that serious because Apple hasn't acknowledged it.
    I am going to have to live with the connection drops I guess, seeing that there really isn't a true fix to this on going problem.
    I have used Macs for almost 15 years because of my Graphic Design career, and have always bragged how they are so much more stable than PC's.
    Ever since Apple decided to go with the Intel Chips, they do not seem to be as stable as they once where.
    I also have a G4 Power PC and a Mac Mini running Tiger, and have never had one problem that I couldn't take care of.
    Apple still makes a great product, but they need to address the common issues that are presented on this forum.

  • How do I stop a 3 GS from dropping calls? It just shuts off while sitting and talking.

    This iPhone is the worst purchase I have ever made in all my 60 years and as soon as my contract expires I will replace it with a Samsung Galaxy S III, but in the meantime I would like to know why it shuts off and how to prevent that. After a few minutes the thing goes off and the apple icon appears on the screen. Then after about 10 minutes it will turn back on.

  • How do I stop my iPhone 3 from tethering?  Everything I read says to go to Settings General Network but the Internet Tethering is always searching.  I've been advised to wait but it's going on 2 hours so I think I've met my "waiting" quota.  HELP!!

    Same with Bluetooth, as long as you're looking at the screen, it will be searching. As soon as you exit the screen it stops, so quit looking at that screen. You know your refrigerator light? You open the door and it's on...trust me, close the door & the light goes off .

  • How do I stop Serial "VISA Read" from giving me packets instead of available bytes.

    Dear Labvillians,
    Highlight:
    How do I stop serial "VISA read" from giving me packets instead of bytes?
    Background:
    I have a system that serially publishes 14 byte packets on a semi-regular interval.
    At busy times, the producer of these these packets queues the data, effectively producing super-packets in multiples of 14 bytes sometimes as large as 8 packets (112 bytes).
    My protocol handler has been designed to processes bytes, packets or super-packets.
    My application now has multiple devices and the order of message processing is critical to correct functionality.
    My observation is that the VISA read waits until the end of a packet/ super-packet before passing the data to the application code. (See Plot Below)
    My expectation is that VISA read should give me available bytes, and not get too smart for itself and wait for a packet.
    I have observed this on PXI, Embedded PC, cFP and most recently, cRIO
    I have experimented with the cRIO's Scan interface rate, which helps with reducing the packet backlog but doesn't resolve to sub-packet byte read.
    I understand that one solution is to Write FPGA code to handle it and pass the bytes through R/T-FIFO, and there are some great examples on this site.
    Unfortunately this doesn't help with non FPGA devices.
    I have also dabbled in event based serial reads but it is diabolical on vxWorks devices.
    Any Help is appreciated

  • How do I stop my MacBook Pro from making shortcuts on my desktop when I'm moving a folder

    So my question is,
    How do I stop my MacBook Pro from making shortcuts on the desktop when I'm trying to move the original photo, all I want to do is move a picture from a folder on the desktop without making a shortcut!

    Hi RockHazard,
    If you want to change the behavior of the Finder when moving files around you can use keyboard shortcuts.
    OS X: Keyboard shortcuts - Apple Support
    Way down under Finder shortcuts we find:          
    Command key while dragging
    Move the dragged item to another volume or location
    (the pointer changes while key is held)
    Option key while dragging
    Copy the dragged item
    (the pointer changes while key is held)
    Command-Option key combination while dragging
    Make an alias of the dragged item
    (the pointer changes while key is held)
    Best regards,
    Nubz

  • How can I stop music and movies from being automatically deleted from my phone and saved on the cloud? I've just tried to watch a movie on my 2 hour commute, but yet AGAIN it has been removed. I do NOT want to spank all of my data allowance

    How can I stop music and movies from being automatically deleted from my phone and saved on the cloud? I've just tried to watch a movie on my 2 hour commute, but yet AGAIN it has been removed. I do NOT want to spank all of my data allowance downloading it again, especially because (believe it or not) I added it to my phone because that's precisely where I wanted it!! Any help much appreciated

    FYI I had to put this link into firefox to reply - because **** back safari just wouldn't register my clicks to any of the links on the post... Despite reloadeing and even restarting my computer. Totally annoying and a massive pain in the ***.
    But in terms of my initial query; thanks for responding. But no, this is NOT the cause of the problem. I have auto sync and sync over wifi activated, but have also selected manually manage music and videos. Plus, all of my music and videos are on my macbook, absolutely all of it, so if it my phone was syncing with my macbook everything would still be on the phone. Life would be peachy if my phone jsut copied everything that was on my macbook, but unfortuantely it keeps deleting tracks for no apparent reason.
    Any thoughts greatly welcomed, because at the moment i can only conclude that my iphone is crap.

  • How can I stop the voice over from my apple tv

    I have just connected my Apple TV which appears to be working ok. How do I stop the interactive voice from speaking.

    I have the 2nd Gen Apple TV and it is where I said. Have you updated yours to the latest firmware/software? I can't see why you are unable to find it otherwise. I will take pictures if you want me to.

  • How can I stop mail on iPad from going to next message when deleting an email?

    How can I stop the mail app from moving to the next message when deleting an email?
    I like to keep messages as new until I can take action on them, but this just makes an unnecessary step.  I do not have this problem on my iPhone, but I am still running 5.0.1 on the phone and have the new iPad 5.1 software.

    Hi furiousbalancing,
    With regards to deleting messages in Mail, you may find the following portion of the following article helpful:
    To prevent the next message from being automatically selected (and marked as read), hold down the Option key when you delete a message.
    Mail (Mavericks): Delete messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14900
    You can also use Command-Shift-U to toggle a message between Read and Unread (command should be the same in Mavericks):
    Mail (Mountain Lion): Keyboard shortcuts
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11679
    You can also close the Preview portion of the Mail window, which should then require you to double-click on a message to open it and have it show as read (it appears the double click on the seperator may no longer work in Mavericks, but you should still be able to drag it to make it disappear):

    Why Acrobat x professional is changing the text formatting specifically the font family  and the font size of the text in my pdf on exporting it to Microsoft word file format ?How should i stop Acrobat x professional from doing that so that i get an exactly same word file on exporting it from its pdf counterpart?

    I was testing the preciseness & efficiency of Adobe acrobat x professional's doc conversion capabilities. As i have to take a document editing project in future which is going to need lot of pdf to word and vice versa conversions . What I did was I created a test word document converted into a pdf using a pdf maker in my word 2007 , Acrobat did convert the document from word to pdf keeping everything in the source file intact , However when i tried the other way round and attempted to convert the same pdf to word 2007 file format I lost my formatting ?So the font that I used to create the pdf are the ones taken from word 2007 which i believe is using the fonts that are installed in my computer. Any suggestions on how to preserve the formatting of the document after converting it from pdf to word file format?
    Regards

  • How can I stop my iphone 4s from asking for my icloud, yahoo and other passwords all the time?

    How can I stop my iphone 4s from asking for my icloud, yahoo and other passwords all the time?

    As long as you share that AppleID for iCloud, you cannot.  You are sharing a a single iCloud account and sync services.  The only thing you can do is get a second AppleID and use it with iCloud - you do not have to use that new AppleID for anything but iCloud (ie. you can still share an AppleID for iTunes and App store purchases).
    P.S. I am assuming you both want to sync your contacts with iCloud?
