I finally fixed my wifi problem.....solved

I went and bought a new router. Boom it works super awsome.
Been connected all day no problems.
was using a d-link wbr-2310.
Now im am using this one.
Netgear WNR3500L
119.00 at bestbuy
Cheap and perfect.

People will say oh it not my router but, If you dont believe me buy it try it out and if that doesnt work take it back in a day.
P.S.
Just did a speed test with the speedtest.net app and my download speed is 20.64 and upload 4.31.

You can only patch a router so many times before patching becomes useless.
Sounds like you are trying to argue that you should be able to keep a router around for 5 plus years even though hardware and software standard have grown beyond what an old router can handle.
Anyone here still using their Router that only supports A and not b and g?
I think not i can sqee myself replacing my fantastic d-link extreme N within 2 to 3 years by then it would be a 6 year old router....... Do you have to upgrade new hardware? Well look at the support life cycle of the company that made it.... If they are no longer offering patches for old hardware then it means more than likely it is no longer in active support...... Support anyway in most companies is 2-5 years anyway and your argument is that you want to go up and beyond squeezing that turnip..... If so then go to open source soft mod websites for your router

HOW TO FIX THE WIFI PROBLEM

HOW TO FIX THE WIFI PROBLEM: Settings > Wifi > (little blue arrow) > scroll down to "Renew Lease" and then click on it.
Enjoy

Didn't work for me.
What did work was going to the Wifi network settings and setting the HTTP Proxy to Auto rather than Off.
Worked for both iphone4S and ipad2.

Is apple EVER going to fix the Wifi problem on phones AND iPads?

I keep seeing all these new updates for stuff on ios7...and yet THEY STILL HAVE NOT FIXED THE WIFI CONNECTION PROBLEM ON PHONES AND IPADS!

This is a real hardware problem triggered by the installation of iOS 7. A representative in the Apple Store in Ginza, Tokyo, admitted this to me today. The WiFi and Bluetooth chip on my iPhone 4s have been damaged either during the installation process itself, or by using the system after installation. However despite the fact that Apple Japan representative admitted that the company is at fault, they would not agree to fix or replace the phone at their cost. What terrible customer service!

APPLE: FIX YOSEMITE WIFI PROBLEMS

Not really a question, just hoping that Apple is going to take this seriously. I spent days trying all sorts of things to prevent the Wifi from dropping a slowing down to a halt. First I had the instant random freeze problem, now this.
This is serious and Apple should respond to this! There are numerous users who experience this issue.

1. Its too bad apple dont monitor these forums, or maybe they do, but they just dont know how to fix the wifi issue that everyone is experiencing, and has been going on for a long time. Thanks for the feedback link, i have wrote a few of them in the past and im sure everyone else hv written feedback about wifi.
2. I use a router from isp and also tried airport express. I dont think its a router issue becoz i have used this same router for a year and on my macmini running mountain lion, wifi never drops. And when i travel, using macbookpro running mavericks, wifi drops, and surely its not an option to use an airport extreme when traveling or at a friends home...i mean we cannot replace routers everywhere we go, those cheap routers still work with other computers, even mountain lion. Its the expensive computers that needs improvements, but obviously the latest updates for mavericks made it like a crappy yosemite. One thing i notice is apple really improve their way of marketing their products, their advertisements are looking very nice now.
I think replacing routers is not a solution, the only solution right now is to switch off wifi and switching back on again and again, thanks to the sophisticated innovation from apples yosimite and latest mavericks. Today i have done that about 20x.

HT202157 Does 5.1.2 fix the wifi problem for ATV3

Does the 5.1.2 update correct the wifi problems introduced by the previous update?. My ATV3 had stopped seeing my wifi and only worked on ethernet.

It means that your router isn't in their database yet, and I'm not sure how you can get it added - it used to be held by a third-party and you could send requests to them, but since they brought it in-house I'm not use how it's done

New update (iOS 6.0.2) did absolutely nothing to fix the wifi problem, can I do it any other way than switching to WEP?

Yet again Apple says the next update will fix a certain problem and it does absolutely nothing. Not surprising.

Usual Apple updates. Have you tried resetting the network settings?
Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
Also restart your router and play around with your phone.

WIFI problems solved with D-Link USB WIFI adapter...

I have a brand new Macbook Air and I have persistent problems connecting to my home wifi network. Sometimes I can connect to the router but not the internet, but usually Airport won't connect at all: it keeps asking me for the password for our home network (even though it's stored), so I re-enter the password, but it still can't connect. When it gets to this point I know that I either have to live without internet for the rest of the day, or disrupt my work and everyone else in the household by rebooting my computer and reseting the router (sometimes just one of these actions will work, but it's unpredictable).
So I bought a D-Link DWA-125 USB wireless adapter and installed drivers from Ralink (http://www.ralinktech.com/support.php?s=3) and it pretty much solves the issue.
I don't know what further proof Apple needs that this is a problem with the Air and not the internet/router/etc. It's rather comical that I have to use an ugly old USB adapter to get a brand new Macbook Air to connect to internet in my own home.

I've had my Macbook for 2 yrs and the wifi basically never worked - only when I'm right next to the router, at school, or of course the Apple Store. I tried to get apple to fix it under AppleCare, but since it was working perfectly in the store, they said there was nothing they could do.
If your Mac works well at school, or the Apple Store but not at home, the problem definetly is not the Mac and therefore there is no need to buy a external usb wifi device.
You better will fix the settings of your home router and after that your Mac will be fast and smooth on your home wifi.
I've had only on very rare situations a problem with d-link routers over the years and think (if not damaged) even your d-link will work pretty good with your Mac.
Would you be so kind and explain the settings of your home router and what model it is?

How to fix S6 Wifi problem

I've finally yupgraded from the S3 which I used at home and work on Wifi with no issue.
I haven't had a stable Wifi connection in proven strong wifi areas (home&work).
What can I do or what is being done to fix this issue?

Try forgetting and adding back the wifi network.
IF it won't connect to any wifi networks, then it may be faulty wifi antenna.
IF still within the 14 days return for a replacement. Otherwise it has to be replaced under warranty.

Lenovo G510 wifi problem (Solved?)

Hello, few days ago I bought the lenovo g510, which comes with Win8 x64.
The laptop works perfect except the wifi does not connect me to any network. When I try to connect it tells me the connection is limited or null
Looking in the device manager, my wifi seems to be:
PCI \ VEN_14E4 & DEV_4727 & REV_01 & SUBSYS_060914E4
Where I can get any driver to work properly?
thank you very much
SOLUTION?:
I think I've found a solution (a workaround) ...
For next wifi card:
PCI \ VEN_14E4 & DEV_4727 & REV_01 & SUBSYS_060914E4
"Broadcom 802.11n net adapter" <- This can be different
Driver: 6.30.223.143
Date: 06/08/2013
OS: Windows 8 x64
In the device manager, right button and click on wifi device Propierties -> Advanced options -> WMM -> Disabled
This will force the card to work in g mode (54mbpps), but at least it connect and dont disconnect with the time...
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Going through the device manager worked for me too, FINALLY!
Been spending the last week since I bought my G510 to get the wifi to work for more then 5 minutes, and this was it.
Thank you very much my friend.

Why have apple not released and update to fix the wifi problems

I have a ipad mini all was working fine untill apple released the update to OS6 now we are in OS7 and still no fix?
now i have tried ALL off the work rounds that have been postedand they do NOT work.
in order to get the mini to conect to any network it needs to be sat on top of the router this isnt just my router this is all routers im on virgin tryed with BT and Sky and mcdonalds,costa,starbucks ect ect...
I feel ripped off a wifi tablet with no working wifi is crap. A very expensive glass coaster
WHY HAVE YOU NOT FIXED THIS ???????

This is a user-to-user forum. Apple doesn't live here (except checking every so often to enforce the TOU). You can rant, rave and vent all you want, won't change a thing and may get you canned.
This is your specific Wi-Fi problem. Most users have had no issues. My two iGadgets have gone from 6.0.1 to 7.0.4 with all the intermediates with no problem. Same for all my colleagues Minis, Maxis and other gadgets. Which leads to...

Beware the Security Update - How I fixed my WIFI problem and a question

First of all I have read the "Latest Update from 21 January is A Disaster" thread and I basically agree with Andrew is Stuck so please don't feel the need repeat any of the stuff about it is not a bug in the update etc etc and I should have a Super Duper clone to hand etc etc . I have read that stuff. You are probably right but they should write on the Security Update info panel - "Be Careful this could really ruin your day".
I am ****** off and stressed out and I need to rant and I am not looking for that kind of lecture - even if it is partially or wholly true. I need to feel positive by warning people the way I wish I had been warned!
NB I am near the end of a professional dance tour as Musical Director running music on Logic on my MBP and it has been working fantastic - not a single glitch in 6 weeks. I would never upgrade my OS or Logic in the middle of job like this BUT Security Updates have always seem like something you should install because they will protect the Mac or protect against any new viruses etc. I have never had a problem with them before. (THAT ATTITUDE WILL NOW CHANGE!!!)
This update has caused a lot of people a lot of problems (check out this forum) and it has caused me more real world problems than anything I have downloaded and installed from anywhere in the last 3 years. Thus it has nothing to do with Security!!! HOw any people does a Security Uodate have to goose before it becomes an unsatisfactory Security Update?
This security update suddenly stopped my WIFI working and put me in a real hole.
(I am sure you don't care but I have a meeting tomorrow morning that I needed to do 3 hours of prep for including looking at VIDEO online. And the Security Update has just put paid to that. )
After 3 hours I have just got WIfi back- here's how:
I repaired permissions twice with Disk Utility - no joy. I found I could get online when I booted in Safe Mode (and I could get online with my Iphone on the same WIFi setup) so I knew it was not the router - though I did switch the router on and off a few times,
When I initially ran Repair permissions there was loads of things needing repair. I ran it again and 2 remained:
usr/share/derby it keeps trying to repair
and one of the package contents of the ARDAgent.app (System>Library>CoreServices>RemoteManagement>ARDAgent.app>Contents>MacOS>ARDAg ent) had a warning attached that it in the Disk Utility Repair Permissions report that it had been modified.
So I restored ARDAgent.app from a Time Machine Back up and replaced the offending file when in Safe Mode (Restart with Shift held down). - using Ctrl Click to open the ARDAgent.app package contents.
This seemed to sort it all out for me.
I guess people need to look in their Disk Utility Repair Permissions reports and see if any esoteric system files have been goosed by the update and see if they can get them back - although if you don't know what you are doing this could make things worse......
Anyway I DO have questions:
If this hadn't of worked:
1) Would reinstalling Snow Leopard from disks have upset my preferences, installs of Logic and Audio drivers and 3rd party application installs and the rest?
- the main stressor when this happens is not trying to lose the whole day.
2) Is there a way of just restoring the System from a Time Machine Backup or a SuperDuper clone or do you have to restore the whole state of the entire Hard Drive?
Best
Tommy Banana
PS I feel better now. Thanks for listening.

The fact that you saw no glitches while running Logic before applying the update means almost nothing because that uses only a small subset of system resources. Far more significant is that Safe Mode restored some missing functionality: because it disables non-essential items like user fonts, third party drivers, & so on, it points to problems in those areas.
Equally significant, the fact that there are relatively few reports of post-update problems among the several million Snow Leopard users points away from the update itself as the cause of your problems.
Separate & apart from that, it so happens that I'm a sound engineer/system designer/board operator with nearly 40 years of professional touring experience. FWIW, I never have & never will update the software of any system I must rely on professionally (whether it is running on a Mac, a PC, or dedicated hardware) unless & until I can thoroughly test it first and I have a trustworthy backup/recursion strategy to fall back on in case of problems.
I strongly suggest you learn from your unpleasant experience & do the same. I have had far fewer problems with Macs than with PC's, but nothing is 100% reliable to begin with. Changing the OS software part way through the tour is just asking for trouble, no matter how reliable that has been in the past. Even if the budget allows for nothing better than a stack of burned CD's & a couple of consumer grade CD players, no professional tour can afford to be without some fallback strategy in place. That should be self-evident & require no warning from Apple or anybody else.

FOUND FIX for WiFi problem

Those of you having WiFi issues, I discovered what I believe to be is the problem.
*_The Problem_*
The software 2.0 update is putting the "Router" address into the "DNS" address, on the iphone, which of course doesn't work.
*_The Solution_*
-Look up your DNS information on your home router.
-On your iPhone, go into: Settings/Wi-Fi/'your network', you should see the IP address, subnet, router and DNS information.
-Type in the DNS information from your home Router into the DNS field in your iPhone.
-Open Safari and enjoy!

Although secretly swapping phones with your wife would be funny, probably wouldn't be a good idea in the long run
Make sure that the IP address on your phone and your wife's phone don't match. The problem may be that your phone is trying to use the same IP address as your wife's phone. If it is, do a "reset all network settings" on your phone and check to see if a different IP address gets assigned to your phone than your wife's phone.
However, the DNS addresses can be the same. I usually just use the first DNS entry out of the list of 2 DNS entries on my router.

I fixed my WiFi problem.

I used to get WiFi in my office but after updating a while back to 2.1, it was spotty. The server would show up but drop after a few seconds. I just thought maybe they did something at work that made my reception bad and didn't think much of it. At home, and at other locations, WiFi worked fine. Well today I wanted to download an app but got the message that I needed WiFi to do so. I found out that others in my office had strong WiFi connections and I didn't. I tried rebooting, restarting, forgetting server, all to no avail. Then I reset all phone settings under general>reset>reset all settings. Boom! That did the trick! Plus my phone seems more responsive. I had to redo all of my settings like sounds and icon placement, but not a big deal.

Finally fixed iTunes beachball problem, an Apple TV workaround

Like many other folks, since iTunes 9 came out I have had to endure the dreaded beachball with every stupid tweak of my iTunes tags. As it turns out, it was due to a setting in my AppleTV preferences. When I turn off "Look for Apple TVs", iTunes is MUCH snappier, and I can edit tags, scroll when I want, switch views, etc without having to wait for the beachball to stop spinning. I just have to remember to check it back to looking for the Apple TV when I am done making my edits.
Hopefully this workaround will be unnecessary after the next versions (ahem, bugfixes) of iTunes 9 and Apple TV(3.02? 3.1?)come out.
Also remember, it appears that there's a lot of confusion out there on streaming to the Apple TV. When set to Sync, The Apple TV will only sync per your settings, and will stream the rest of your content automatically. All content will be visible under My Movies, My Music etc, even if it is not being stored on the Apple TV's internal hard drive. I am currently using over 2TB of content through a 160GB Apple TV. Hardwired over powerline ethernet converters. I have unchecked all media types and everything just streams. Works fine.

I'm very similar.
Stream 90% of stuff over Devolo powerline ethernet adaptors or wireless n.
Majority of stuff does not need to be synced to enjoy it.

TS1559 WIFI solutions proposed by Apple are not working. Does oneone how to solve the WIFI problems?

Dear Apple.
I was really happy with my iphone4s, IOS 6.0, great product amazing quality and posibilities BUT.......
I updated from IOS 6.0 to 6.1.1. and the WIFI nightmare started.
I waited for a new update to fix the WIFI problems and I updated my iphone 4s from 6.1.1. to 6.1.2. in order to solve these problems related with WIFI connections.
But IOS 6.1.2. is even worst:
- WIFI is not working at all. So I cannot download apps greater than 50MB.
- Battery life is shorter than ever.
- 3G goes in and out every minute.
- When you operate the iphone4s you can realize that is hotter than before.
These problems are unnaceptable and inconsistent with a high quality standard product.
You can read a lot of blogs, I am not the only one.
Please give us a solution as soon as possible.
Best Regards
AICITEL

Thank you for your support.
My router is a TL-WR740N, and I think it has only a 2.4-2.4835GHz antenna.
So it seems that I have to keep on trying.
I also tryed to rename the router, still nothing.
Thank you anyway.
