I lose my internet connection every 5 mins

Why do i lose my conection every 5 mins? ive tried everything, turning off and on the air port, creating a new Wi Fi interface, i went to my school and tried Wi Fi there and was the same, so its not my home router fault, i have a MacBook Pro 13 in, Mountain Lion 10.8.3, i dont whats going on and im getting frustrated please anyone who had the same problems help me!!!

Thanks and I shall be trying these things - plus perhaps a new router (I have 2 now, and will try to just use the newest one - eventually might get an 8 port out as I have 2-3 computers plus 2 printers...)
Since I have 2 different ISP's (VOO and BELGACOM) I make sure to turn-off the one (unplug or if WiFi just turn-off WiFi). The eMac does NOT have WiFi.
The Belgacom modem has its own built-in WiFi - again the eMac cannot access that - other than via the PBG4 accessing that WiFi and the eMac connected to the PBG4 via FireWire 400 cable for internet access. That works and doesn't seem to cut-out.
I'll follow your other hints-- no "MINI" involved - just an eMac 2005 without WiFi and a PBG4 and my MacBook Pro-13" mid 2010 (and that seems to have a HD problem...)
I'm not sure how to "RELEASE AND RENEW" my IP address. Also not sure how to access the router LOGs.
DI-604 router is at least 6 years old---
Thanks for any reply - hope to get back to this later today -
regards,
Steve

HT1595 Apple TV loses complete internet connection every 5 minutes. Tried restarting. Tried unplugging the router, unplugging the modem, and unplugging Apple TV and it still does't work. Get error message 22 saying it can't connect when I put in my pas

It only connects for minutes at a time. I have not changed my router, modem, or placement of my apple tv, modem, or router. It just suddenly stopped working. Any suggestions?

Mine is doing the exact same problem!
Ever since I rented a movie from itunes with the ATV connected to the internet via wireless (strong signal) from an airport extreme connected to my modem from charter communications (with about 30Mbps speed) it will suddenly stop and by stop I mean it leaves the movie completely and says YOUR APPLE TV IS NOT CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET.
So if I go to my network in the apple tv menu, sure enough my wireless network is missing. But the ipad is finding it, and the imac on wireless is finding it, and it is working. So we hit restart on the apple tv. When it comes back all is good. Then maybe the movie runs ten minutes and it does it again.
In some cases the wireless network reappears but if I select it it still says I'm not connected to the internet.
I have to restart everytime or it will not properly reconnect to the internet or find my wireless net work and actually work and connect.
It has been connected in the same place for a year and never had an issue.
Nothing has changed..... I have not added a wall to cause interference....
My iPad and iPhone show FULL strength.
Please help!

My ipad mini loses Internet connection every time it automatically locks.

My ipad mini loses Internet connection every time it automatically locks. I have to re-establish the connection but sometimes it would take too long for the Internet to be connected. I'm using a wireless connection

just browsing around I found this question. Also on my mini retina I fight with this problem. After a lot of searching I found that the only solution is to switch to
Airplane Mode, wait few seconds and switch again.
Or, if you are lucky, to find a Genius who replaces your unit. Cheers

Wrt610n losing internet connection every 2 days

I've just received a wr610n v1 as a warranty replacement for an older linksys router. It works fine normally, but every day or 2 I lose the internet connection on it. My cable modem (20Mb/s) shows a few blinks on the 'ethernet' & 'send' lights, but nothing on the receive light. Renewing the ip in the linksys config pages kicks it into life again, and it's fine for another day or 2. Anyone else seen similar behaviour?

Again, fidding around with the wireless settings is not going to make a blind bit of difference - the wireless remains working fine throughout. The problem is with the connection from the router to the modem. When that goes down, internet is obviously lost on wired & wireless, while connections behind the router (wired-to-wired, wired-to-wireless, wireless-to-wireless) all remain working fine.

My computer loses the internet connection

hello,
I have a big problem. When I connect my iPhone, my computer loses the internet connection. Before everything was perfect. I have my iPhone since June 2010.
I need your help please

I may have the same/a similar problem. I got the my WRT54GS v7 router on Wednesday (12/26) but I didn't have a change to install it until Sunday (12/30). I was able to get it set up just fine (PPPoE access through local SBC DSL)... my wife and I got our computers hooked up (wired) to the router, and our Wii was hooked up wirelessly. Everything seemed to be working great... but the router seems to be dropping the connection every few hours. If I power off/power on the router, it finds the connection again... but I don't want to be resetting the router every few hours from now until forever. I'm not 100%, but this may very well be happening every time we connect wirelessly... the first time was when we got the Wii set up, then when a friend connected wirelessly, and then again with the Wii a few more times. I know it is not the internet connection myself... we've had this connection for a few years, and used an older Linksys router that worked just fine (we went to WRT54GS to go wireless). The router is locked down with WPA2-personal encryption, and quite a long random string to get in, so I'm pretty sure it is not outsiders. I tried a firmware upgrade and that didn't help at all either. I'd be interested in seeing a solution to this problem soon please! (I'm not sure I understand the instructions of the one response already on this thread.)

I lose my internet connection on my XP computer when the printer is connected as wireless.

My new hp6510 wireless printer works great but I lose my internet connection when the printer is connected as wireless. I am using the printer with a linksys router E3000. The network has an XP computer , a win7 64 bit computer. I do not have a problem with the win 7 computer, but the xp computer will drop the internet connection and sometimes I can get it to work by repair of the router connection, but sometimes I will need to reboot the computer. If I stop the wireless connection and use the USB it works OK. I have tried to get help from HP and Linksysm but no help. I would appreciate any suggestions.

Loosing internet connection every 15 minutes

I am "loosing" my internet connection every 15 minutes. The cable box was replaced. Internet sharing is off. The firewall is on and no ports are checked. But, every 15 minutes, I get a message (using Safari) that there is no connection. I select network diagnostics and after I go through a few steps, all the buttons are green and then the connection works. This is very problematic, though, since I am loosing work while working online. Any suggestions?

Hi otobinchicago,
The fact is you can delete the .plist (com.apple.networkConfig.plist) and re-enter your setting and you will find out if this is the problem, but as I can assure you I have been through the same process. Reconfiguring the computer, the modem, etc, and it was the hardware.
You could try taking your computer to a friends house linking it to their modem and testing it that way. As long as the post-computer to ISP link is nothing to do with your hardware, you will see that it could be hardware or software.
My bet is that it is hardware. It sounds too similar to what I had.

My Photoshop CS6 always crashes when I lose my Internet connection...why?

My Photoshop CS6 always crashes when I lose my Internet connection...why? This is really aggravating, particularly when I am traveling with my laptop and try to use Photoshop. As long as I have an Internet connection it is fine, but as soon as the Internet is no longer available the program stops working.

When I enter Yahoo.ca, I lose my internet connection(safari). Can anyone help me with this. Thanks.

When I enter Yahoo.ca, I lose my internet connection. This happens most of the time. Sometimes immediatly, other times after a few minutes. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks.

All that you had to do was to sign into the old account in order to update those apps. What I mean is that you just needed to sign into that account in the store settings like I described and that should have worked. You didnt need to enter the credit card information again - you justed needed to use the old ID and password.
Anyway, I think the good news is that if everything else is OK with the new account, just download iBooks with the new ID - it's a free app so its not like you have to pay for it again. I'm not sure what the other App is that you are talking about - but if it is the Apple Store App - that is free as well.
Try this anyway, when you try to update iBooks, just use the old password if the old ID still pops up.
Did you try signing into the store settings with your new ID and see what happens with the updates then?

I lose my Internet connection, unplug my Time Capsule for a while, plug it back in and get my conne ction back. What may be causing that?

I lose my Internet connection, unplug my Time Capsule for a while, plug it back in, then in a few minutes my Internet is connected again. Can someone tell me what to do? Thanks

I was being jovial..
SL is snow leopard.. If you are on 10.6.8 you are on SL. Your initial post says 10.5.6 but I assumed you had upgraded to Lion or worse Mountain Lion.
Don't whatever you do update.. that is out of the frying pan into the fire.
You might need to give more network info..
What is the TC plugged into for broadband.. are you on cable, adsl, other.. is the TC in router mode.
I find with SL, the later versions of TC firmware much worse than earlier ones.. So I do recommend you check your TC and if you are on 7.6.1 then downgrade to 7.5.2 .. you do this by holding the option key when you select update firmware.. it will show you downgrade options as well as upgrade.. only this is not possible with newest Gen 4 TC which are stuck on 7.6.x firmware.
How do you connect to the TC is the other question.. and with what?? Is this issue computer only or iphone ipad etc. ie is your network wireless or ethernet (or both) does the issue affect both?

Macbook loses internet connection every time it is put to sleep

every time i open my macbook pro from sleep mode there is no internet connection, even though my wifi bars are full and black and my home router is found and ticked. after a 1-2 minute delay my mac then connects to the internet. this happens every time i open my laptop from sleep mode. i have to wait 1-2 mins. this has only started to happen in the last few days and is driving me mad as it shows it is connected to the internet. any ideas ?
thanks

Delete the network from your macbook, system preferences, network, select advance tab and delete it
Then Re join the Wi-Fi network you want.

I lose internet connection every time my computer sleeps

HI, I lose internet connectivity everytime my laptop sleeps or shuts down. why? and how do I maintain connectivity with wireless router?

If you had mountain lion, you could've used a feature called power nap. It keeps networking on even when the mac is asleep.
On other OS, I guess its bound to disconnect all networks when it goes to sleep You can try an app called Caffeine that doesn't let it go to sleep.

Macbook and macbook pro lose wifi internet connection. Why?

Have moved house, got a new internet connection everything has been ok for 2 weeks. Suddenly both my macbook and my son's macbook pro won't stay on the internet. They lose connection every 3/4 minutes.
We turn the airport off, close safari and then turn ariport in again. You can reconnect again but only for a short while.
We have other devices that connect to internet - internet radio etc. These don't drop connection so I don't think it's the internet/modem playing up. Even when these devices are turned off the internet connection fails on the macs.
I can also connect successfully to the internet using the ethernet cable.
What has happened?
Have we got malware?
What can I do?

You haven't brought any new technology which will effect your wifi signal? Like TV or Audio?
Have you tried to change the channel?
The problem really has to be related to the actual wifi router as both MacBooks have become effected.
If it was just the one MacBook, then there could be a possibility of some hardware having problems in the MacBook.
Are you getting a strong signal but no Internet?
If you have a house phone connected to the same socket as the router, the filter could need replacement.
Most DSL lines have filters that often need replacement after a period of time.

Dropped Internet Connection on Mac Mini

I have a new Mac Mini and it's connects to the internet via Wifi with no issues and the internet works fine. After it's been connected for awhile I'll pull up Safari and it won't load a page but shows that it's connected. If I disable the Wifi and re enable it, it'll pull up the webpage with no problem. All other devices connect and hold the connection but the Mini including Win 7 systems and Android devices. Any Ideas? Thanks.

You're doing quite well for new to Macs!
Apple really doesn't seem to have this Airport/Wifi thing as well in hand as I think they should.
Tough to tell, especially in higher OSX versions as everything is far more removed & more steps, but se if you can adapt these older steps, they're basically the same, but with little aggravating additional steps...
The Interface that connects to the Internet, needs to be drug to the top of System Preferences>Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations and checked ON.
10.5.x/10.6.x/10.7.x instructions...
System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.
The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.
Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), & use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, reboot once more.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.
Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over.
Make a New Location, Using network locations in Mac OS X ...

When I connect my headphones via bluetooth to my iPad 4 I lose my internet connection?

I recently upgraded to iOS 7.1 and along with the problem mentioned in the title there are many other, not so major problems but I can put up with them.
So basically before I updated I could do this fine with no problems but ever since it updated my Turtle Beach PX5 has been able to connect to my iPad via Bluetooth but as soon as the connection is established I lose internet connection which is extremely frustrating as I tend to FaceTime while I'm playing on a console.
If I go into the wifi settings no possible access points are shown unless I turn off my bluetooth. Although on one occasion I have been able to connect to both services but the bluetooth was very unstable and after 20 or so seconds it seemed to have disconnected itself.
It's extremely frustrating that I pay money for a quality product (might I add that I've very much enjoyed up to this point) expecting that both these services can run simultaneously when they cannot.
So I wondered if there is a solution to this? Has anyone else had similar problems? And is there any way I can downgrade as the newest update (for me at least) has been a major disappointment.

One thing you should definitely try is keeping your iPhone 4 connected via USB cable in your computer and restarting. This should make the computer recognize that it is connected and as long as you have your iTunes set up to automatically open upon connection with your iPhone you should be all set!
