I lose internet after closing or sleeping my Macbook

Hi,
I recently bought a Netgear Rangemax WPN824 wireless router. I set it up and used the
Netgear signal. Then I called Netgear and set up a SSID. Now everytime I sleep my computer,
shut it down, or log it out, whenever I reture to try to use the internet. It takes a minute or
so to find the connection. This happens even while it's telling me I have four full bars of
signal. Can anyone help me with this please. Thank You.

Hi, when you close, the lid or sleep with it, the airport turns off. Therefore goodbye internet. I use a program called insomniax to keep the wifi alive at all times. Hope this helps.

Mac loses internet after wake from sleep, still connected to router

Hi All,
So, I see similar threads, but I'm not sure if this is the same problem. Here's what happening:
-When I wake my Mac from sleep it usually (but not always) loses its internet (but not wifi) connection.
-The loss happens 10-15 seconds AFTER it wakes up. If I go to Safari/Firefox right after it wakes up, I can bring up webpages fine for about 10 seconds. Then, suddenly, pages stop loading.
-The wifi stays connected (I have an airport router) the whole time, and if I go to the airport utility, everything looks fine.
-I know this is not a problem with my internet or my router because I have tried opening web pages on both my iPhone (connected to wifi with cellular off) as well as my PC laptop (I only have it for one program that the company does not make for the Mac and I need for work, haha), and both browse the internet just fine even though my Mac says there is no internet.
-If I restart my Mac, the internet works fine. This is a simple fix, however it's also annoying to have to do it all the time.
-This is happening in different locations, not just on my wifi. It happens in coffee shops, hotels, and airports too.
-Not sure if this is related, but I have also been getting messages in iTunes saying that I need to authorize my computer or apps will be deleted.
-I completely deleted Norton, as I had a hunch it was responsible for this problem (since the internet was disconnecting right after getting an "add location" message from that program). However, even with it completely off my computer, I'm still having the issues.
Any suggestions???

What Mac OSX version are you running? "iOS 8.2" as currently shown in your profile cannot run on any Mac computer, only Apple mobile devices.
If your computer has automatically connected to a lot of networks, say, during travel, that might hinder waking as the computer looks for what networks it remembers. Go to System Preferneces > Network and select your wirelss connection from the left-hand pane. Then click the "Advanced" button in the main pain. That will show the list of networks you Mac has stored:
There could be a lot. Clear out all networks stored there except those you use on a weekly basis. The little box with the "-" icon clears unwanted networks. Restart the computer and see if thising work better.
-I completely deleted Norton, as I had a hunch it was responsible for this problem (since the internet was disconnecting right after getting an "add location" message from that program). However, even with it completely off my computer, I'm still having the issues.
Download and run Etrecheck, a safe way to post a snapshot of your config without revealing any personal information. I'm concerned you did not get all of Norton, or have some other dreck like CleanMyMac or MacKeeper lurking.

My macbook pro (lion 10.7.2) takes several minutes to connect to the internet after waking from sleep. Is there any way to make this instant?

Hi
My Macbook Pro 15 inch takes several minutes to be able to connect to the internet after waking from sleep. Does anyone else have this problem and is there a fix?

The message that comes up when I click on "TomTom Home Install" is "You cannot open Home Install because Power PC applications are no longer supported." Does this mean that the TomTom, which is absolutely vital to my life - well, not literally but you know what I mean - can no longer be used with my MacBook Pro?
What that means is that is can't be used with Lion 10.7. PowerPC was the chip Apple used up until 2006 when they switched to Intel. At that point, they created the Rosetta emulator to allow for PPC support for 5 years. They finally dropped the support with the release of Lion. It will only work with OS X 10.6 or earlier. The other option is to purchase a new GPS, which can be had for $100 for a decent one.

Anybody else lose internet after computer sleeps?

A 110-23w bought on 2/11/2014. Running stupid windows 8.1. With three hours on tech support ( now waiting on a box)
To ship my brand new computer to the, because it will not reconnect to internet after sleep mode.. does anyone else have this problem.

problem is Windows 8.1. if you do not update to windows 8 on 8.1 would be. I have the same problem and I have only Windows 8.1 I'm still waiting on a driver to fix it. until that time I did not update to Windows 8.1.

10.7.3 issues with reconnecting to the Internet after waking from sleep mode?

My iMac worked great until this last update. Now it does not connect to the internet after I wake it from sleep mode. Any fixes?

I have a similar issue. My connection has been rock-solid since we went to Uverse, and now my computer loses the internet every 60-90 minutes or so. Driving me nuts. iPhone still on wireless router to internet, so problem seems to be computer.

My iPad loses it's ability to connect to the internet after awaking from sleep mode. Needs to be rebooted to reconnect.

My iPad loses it's ability to reconnect to the wifi after sleep mode often times, but not always. It is very annoying because it requires a reboot to reconnect. It is running the latest iOS software update. I have also reset network settings to the factory defaults. My wifi is working fine, and all other devices in my house have no issues at all.

Well, I think I have finally come up with a solution. It seems this issue happens when it auto locks. I turned auto lock to "never" in settings, and the issue has not happened since. Seems there may be a bug in this feature???
I now use manual lock, and upon awakening the wifi is now fully working.

Lose Internet after installing HP Ink Advantage 2545

After I connect the HP Ink Advantage 2545 to the router's wireless network to start the wireless printing, then I lose the wireless connection to internet. The hardwire connection is still there but not the wireless connection, even from my mobile device.
The following been tried but still can;t fixed the problem.
1. Assign a static IP to Printer outside router's DHCP IP range.
IP Address : 198.162.1.253
Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1
2. Reboot the Printer, CPU and Router
Printer : Deskjet Ink Advantage 2545
Router : DSL -2750E
Wireless Security : WPA-PSK
OS : Windows Vista
It is much appreciated if someone can help on this.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

When you set a static IP address also set an external DNS for the printer:
- Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
- Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
- Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). If you do not know the range, change the last set of numbers (those after the last '.') to 250
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway.
- Enter 8.8.8.8 for the first DNS and 8.8.4.4 for the second DNS. This is Google DNS. You can choose another external DNS if you wish.
- Click 'Apply'.
Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.

Macbook Pro not connecting to internet after closing

I work from home and also have a toddler running around most days. I am always working and then due to something happening at home have to close my computer and come back a bit later. This last week everytime I close my laptop and come back I'll open it up but it won't connect to the internet. I have to restart it and then it does fine. I'm now restarting it ALL day. I have no idea what is causing it or how to fix it. I usually have some issues when I have a software update but I keep checking and it says I don't have one. Has anyone else ever experienced this?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on some Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)

I lose sound after closing the computer and reawakening

While watching Netflix I close the computer. When I come back and wake the computer up the sound is gone. Anyone have this problem and/or cure?

Temporary fix is to restart the computer.
Hopefully this issue will be resolved soon.
Best.

After waking from sleep, my Macbook Pro shows grey progress bar

I have the mid 2012 Macbook Pro (13 inch). When I leave it open and let it fall asleep after the time I have chose, it wakes up again fine.
But if I choose the sleep from the Apple in the menu bar or SHUT the lid, when I wake it up, it shows the grey progress bars and takes about 3-4 minutes before it is responsive again.
Any advice? I'd just like it to sleep normally. It's a bit embarrassing to have to wait that long if I'm trying to show off how cool my laptop is

Thanks for any help!

This was added to all 2012 model MBPs as part of some bs Euro power saving standard. By default, when on AC power, the system has to sleep for 14400 seconds before this deeper hibernation state happens. When that happens, the system takes a while to resume to normal operation. There is a workaround for this and it is available on this site, but I urge you to call AppleCare and complain about this issue yourself please because without a lot of complaints about it, Apple won't fix it. The workaround is to simply issue a command in a Terminal prompt that disables this option from happening, but it's not a fix by any means.

External display lost after resume from sleep on Macbook 4,1

Hi, I'm connecting an external display (with a max res of 1920x1080) on a Macbook 4,1 early 2008 (graphics : Intel GMA X3100) with OS X 10.5.8.
It's connected with an official Apple MiniDVI>DVI converter and a DVI cable.
I had to reset the PRAM and SMC to have it detected.
It worked perfectly in mirror mode... until I put the macbook to sleep : on resume, the external display received no signal, and I could'nt detect it in "monitors / detect monitors".
I checked that SMC is up to date (1.31f1)
When I plug or unplug the DVI cable, or when I switch on/off the external monitor, the macbook's integrated display switches off for a second then switches on back, as if it were detecting something... but without any effect.
Any idea ?

Hi Erwansj,
It sounds like you have done most of the steps in this article, but see if there are some other steps that help, like trying Safe Mode.

My MacBook Pro won't reconnect to my Wi-FI automatically after waking from sleep mode

Hello, everyone. Since I updated to Yosemite, my MacBook Pro won't reconnect to my Wi-FI automatically after waking from sleep mode.
Does anyone know how to fix that?
Thanks in advance,
Arthur.

Hi, arthurpacifico.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here are a couple troubleshooting steps that I would recommend trying to see if it corrects this issue.

Use these steps if your computer does not automatically connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Check your TCP/IP settings in the Network pane of the System Preferences. Click the "Renew DHCP lease" button
Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu.
Choose Network from the View menu.
Select Wi-Fi, then click the Advanced button in the lower-left hand corner of the screen.
Click the TCP/IP tab from the top of the screen.
Click the "Renew DHCP lease" button.
Select the Wi-Fi tab and view your Preferred Networks list.
Select each network and click the minus sign to remove those networks from your Preferred Networks list.
Click OK and close the Network preferences.
Remove your stored network passwords using the Keychain Access Utility.Restart your computer.
Open Keychain Access from /Applications/Utilities. Your window will look like this:
Remove your AirPort network passwords from the login keychain: Select the "login" keychain from the Keychain sidebar. Click the "Kind" column to order the list of keychain items by their type. Remove all entries of the kind: "AirPort network password".
Remove your AirPort network passwords from the System keychain: Select the "System" keychain from the Keychain sidebar. Click the "Kind" column to order the list of keychain items by their type. Remove all entries of the kind: "AirPort network password".
Note: The above steps will remove your Wi-Fi network passwords. If you do not know them, or if your network does not use passwords to restrict access, you should contact your network administrator.
Join your Wi-Fi network. You will need to enter your password for your network again if it requires one.

Browser not connecting after returning from sleep, but email and imessage working fine

My Browsers are not able to access the Internet after returning from sleep. This effects other browsers (Firefox & Chrome) as well. The connectivity from mail and iMessage is working fine. I am also hardwired and not using WiFi.

I have the same problem since updating to Yosemite, works fine after restarting but once it goes in to sleep it affects email as well as browsers, I have a broadband connection. Also accessing the app store is hit and miss, it's either working or simply not not working.
It also affects other devices trying to connect to the internet over wifi via the airport time capsule, the problems started after installing Yosemite.

Power Mac G4 loses internet connection after going to sleep

Run down of computer: I have a Power Mac G4 tower, PANTHER OSX. I have wireless internet through our cable company—I use a wireless router. When I am connected to the internet, and browsing the web or something, if I let the computer go to sleep, it loses connection. I have to go back up to the little signal icon and reconnect to my wireless network.
I suspected it might be a setting through the router, but when my computer was comletely unplugged, and absent from the apartment, the other computer (G5 imac–TIGER) which was having the same problem, suddenly was staying connected even after going to sleep. When my computer came back home and was hooked back up, suddenly the other computer had the same problem again. So, I concluded that my G4 tower was the culprit, and perhaps not the router. We share a wirless network, so it's not surprising that this is the case.
I know there must be a setting somewhere in preferences or something that is telling the computer to disconnect from network when computer sleeps. I have looked everywhere, and can not figure it out.
It's really annoying to have to reconnect each time I use my computer. And just to reiterate, I get internet through a cable modem using my airport card, so please answer the question with this in mind as settings are totally different from dial-up. I do not use PPP.
Anyone experience this problem? Or know how to help?

Tried that too! Notta.
This one's really a pickle! Even the Mac specialist at my office was baffled! He suggested shortening the name of my computer...(Jamie Cendroski's computer)...I didn't really understand how this had anything to do with it...but he's supposed to be the expert. He also suggested trashing my keychains and making new ones. I messed around with them, but I don't know enough about this stuff to be bold enough to trash them yet. I'll do a little more research before I do so. I think he might be onto something with the keychains though..?
