I always have to restart my internet.

My internet will work fine for a while, sometimes days, but lots of times the internet will just stop working. I can get it working again if I unplug the power to the internet box then plug it back in but it gets annoying. Any Help woul dbe great.
I use an Airport Extreme and Roadrunner cable.

Hi StuyLax
Unfortunately this appears to be one of life's pains in the broadband butt. It happens to me (and to many of my clients) at random intervals . Sometimes it cures itself and comes back without any intervention, sometimes the router needs a reboot.
The longest mine has been off recenly has been about 20 hours where rebooting had no effect at all. This evening we had a break where a reboot did cure it. There are also times when the AEBS decides to stop - even though it it is still transmitting. A reboot always fixes that.

  • Always have to restart router and modem.

    I don't think this actually is the airport's fault and this only happens at my house, but maybe someone would know.
    I have airport extremes in my G5 and ibook, and a linksys broadband modem, and a motorola router. if i restart my computers or the computers go to sleep i always have to unplug the modem and router to reset them; then the internet finally works. The only place i ever have to do this is my house, it always automatically works anywhere else. Anyone know what could be causing this?

    when i first turn on the computer, or wake it up from sleeping the airport wireless recognizes my wireless connection but can't connect to the internet. when i unplug the router and modem i unplug it, wait about 10 seconds then plug it back in. after doing this my internet works fine for as long as the computer stays on. if i turn it off, or put it to sleep again, however, then i must unplug the router and modem again. i don't know why unplugging it works, but i was hoping maybe someone knew what i could do to have it just work automatically.

  • Anyone has a solution for the problem: typing keywords and suddenly it does not work anymore. Mostly I have to restart my iphone 4Gs

    Does anyone has a solution for this problem?
    Since I updated to iOS 6 sometimes my keywords did not work.
    I always have to restart my iPhone to have it work.

    Hi Alo816,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having such extensive issues with Messages on your iPhone. If you continue having issues sending or receiving Messages, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Messages - Apple Support
    If you continue to have issues with Messages after that troubleshooting, especially if it is still having or crashing, you may want to make sure you have a current backup of your data in iTunes, then try restoring your iPhone to factory settings and testing it in that default condition to see if the issues persist before restoring your data. You may find this article useful:

  • I have to restart my iMac because it always goes off the internet

    If I am not on my iMac for 15 minutes when I try to get back on, I have to restart it, because it is not picking up my WiFi, which I know is connected because I can get on my iPad.  Any suggestions?

    colfer36,
    Unfortunately you haven't provided any useful informaiton because you have not completed your profile. At the very lease what is needed the version of OS X, model of iMac (example late 2011 27" 3.4Ghz iMac), any troubleshooting.
    I suspect though you are suffering from a wake from sleep issue, in that case run Software Update and install all the updates for your computer. Then re-start and test. You can find Software Updates under the Apple Symbol in the upper left.

  • I have a 4s from verizon. I always have trouble connecting to wireless internet. Keeps saying unable to join network. My husband has a 4 and has no trouble. What is my problem?

    Hi Hogdays,
    I know how frustrating it is not to be able to connect to the internet.
    Below are the troubleshooting steps to try to figure out why:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    I would follow the steps in order, but this section is specific to your error message:
    If you're unable to join a nearby Wi-Fi network
    Try restarting your Wi-Fi router by turning it off and then on again.
    Note: If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
    When joining an 802.11n Wi-Fi network, ensure that your router is properly configured. See this article for more information.
    Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Note: This will reset all network settings, including passwords, VPN, and APN settings.
    Hope this helps ....

  • Safari and firefox stop working after a few minutes of browsing, regardless of what site I'm on. I have to restart my computer to get internet access again but it only works for a few more minutes, then I have to restart again. Please help!

    Safari and firefox stop working after a few minutes of browsing, regardless of what site I'm on. I have to restart my computer to get internet access again but it only works for a few more minutes, then I have to restart again. I don't get a spinning ball, it just stops working at whatever page it's on. I can close the program just fine but when I re-open it, either safari or firefox, it freezes trying to load the hompage. This started a few days ago after trying to stream a movie on my computer. I'm on a Mac Air OS X Version 10.6.8 and have downloaded all updates. When I go into finder, it says I have over 80 gigs available. Is there some other memory cache that I need to check? Thanks so much for your help.

    It's not a router problem as I explained in my post. If it was a router problem then I wouldn't have the problem everywhere I go. It is an issue with the software.
    Then I guess the millions of people running 10.5.7 with no issues are just hallucinating that their machines are working fine?
    I'm not trying to belittle your issues; you're certainly having them and I know first hand how annoying an intermittent AirPort issue can be. (In fact, mine was due to an AirPort driver bug that no one else seemed to suffer from.)
    The single best diagnostic you could do is take your system running 10.5.7 to an Apple Store, and try using their in-store network.
    If your machine performs flawlessly, it may be a router issue.
    If your machine has connectivity issues there, it may be a hardware problem with your machine.
    There have been numerous people in multiple threads over the years who swore that an update was buggy because things used to work, but returned later to sheepishly admit that they took their machine in, a problem was found and fixed, and now their Mac works flawlessly with the newer software.
    But simply reinstalling 10.5.5 in no way means the explanation of how firmware bugs may be at play here is incorrect.
    In the context of that explanation, all you've done is possibly reinstall software that asks to add "2 + 3."

  • After updating my iPad I have to restart it two or three times a day to access my mail or the internet. Why?

    After updating my iPad I have to restart it two or three times a day to access my mail or the internet. Why?
    My wife has not updated her iPad yet and no problems with mail or internet. This leads me to believe it's not a router or provider problem but a problem with my IPad.

    Try a reset ...
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    If that didn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    You will have to re enter the Wi-Fi password.
    If that doesn't help, try here >  iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

  • I have to restart ipad each time for internet access.  Why?

    I have to restart ipad each time for internet access and some games.  Never happened until about 2 weeks ago.  ?

    Firefox is a browser: it doesn't require you to 'sign in'.
    It sounds to me like you have some kind of malware installed if you're required to 'sign in' every time you use it.
    I'd recommend you use Internet Explorer (''assuming that doesn't require you to 'sign in' too'') to go to http://www.malwarebytes.org/ and download the free version. It will quarantine any malware it finds so restart Firefox afterwards to see whether the problem recurs or not.

    You must disable FileVault before you can start your Mac in Safe Mode.
    Starting your Mac in Safe Mode will take longer than usual, graphics will not render smoothly, audio is disabled on some Macs, and some programs (iTunes for example) may not work at all.
    Merely starting your Mac in Safe Mode is not intended to resolve the problem, it's to observe its performance without certain additional components.
    To end Safe Mode restart your Mac normally. Shutdown will take longer as well.
