Intermittent wifi signal loss

I have a HTC mobile with the BTWIFI app. When conected to a WIFI hotspot i frequently loose the signal and then approx 30 seconds later reconnect again, i find that this happens when indoors. The app states that i am connected to BTWIFI however i do have my own BT hub3 loaded on the app but i have to keep entering the hub password when i select the hub on the WIFI list.
Why does my mobile/app keep loosing and reconnecting to the WIFI signal and does the app automatically remember my Hub3 password and connect to the hub?

Why do I have Intermittent Wifi Connection Loss during music streaming ?

Hello,
I have an ipad3 and an iPhone 4S and I am getting with both devices interruption of the sound when I send music to the Apple TV. It generally happens after a few minutes. The signal for the wifi is still good and I have still access to the Internet I have tried all the recommendations of the article "iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections" but this did not help. I have used several applications for sending music to the Apple TV (music application from Apple and DSAudio from Synology) but I'm getting the same issue. I have also the same issue with the media center application from Bouygues Telecom connecting directly to my internet router. My router is a bbox sensation. I had also the same kind of issue with my old router when sensing photo albums to the internet: I had the error message "your system is running low on ressources". How can I solve these intermittent wifi connection losses ?

Try #5.
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Intermittent WiFi issue following Windows 10 upgrade

My acer Aspire V3-571 has been intermittently losing WiFi for past 2 days since Windows 10 upgrade from Windows 7 Home Premium.The Aspire has:Atheros wireless network adapter AR5BWB222 10.0.0.38 Wed. 2/15/12 So far, I have:1. In the Atheros AR5BWB222 Wireless Network Adapter Properties,I unchecked the box in the Property Management tab which read Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power. 1b. Made sure airplane mode was in off position.
1c. Forget exactly where I did this, but made sure settings in another ? location were set at "Maximum Performance."
2. Checked that firmware is up to date on my network router, with security set to WPA 2-PSK (AES).
3. Searched through many forums to read responses of folks upgrading to Windows 10 with WiFi issues--seems this is widespread problem, though no one has said WiFi signal loss was intermittent, as is my laptop's. Internet hits for my searches also show WiFi issues occurred in the past for installs of Windows 8. (So far have not come across mentions of WiFi issues for past installs of Windows 7).
4. While exploring my laptop, I came across a page of Microsoft Updates--SEE ATTACHED. I was surprised to note that these updates are released quite frequently over the course of a day. For example 10 separate updates between 4:24 PM and 11:30 PM on Aug 1 and 18 separate updates between 12:06 AM and 3:57 PM on Aug 2. Am including part of the record of updates for August 1 and August 2. I am aware that Microsoft uses my WiFi to AUTOMATICALLY download updates. Is it possible that this intermittent download of updates cause the intermittent interruptions of the WiFi??
5. This afternoon, when the WiFi was not working for Windows 10. I reinstalled as a dual boot, Ubuntu 14.04. I had no difficulty connecting to WiFi from Ubuntu.
Have not yet:
1. I have not yet tried connecting the laptop via Ethernet cable to my router during one of these WiFi outages.
2. My ISP is a VOIP/Internet setup, using one Westell and one Cisco router. I have not considered if they might be a cause of the problem.
3. I read on one forum that someone fixed their WiFi connection issue by changing their router security setting to include TKIP NOTE: I may need to put attachment of screen grab of Windows 10 updates in a separate email reply to this post as this post is not accepting the attachment.
Would appreciate any comments or suggestions. Thanks in advance.
I shall likely also put this out on a Windows 10 forum elsewhere.

Did you try clicking on the "free download required" link in the link below? https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/compatibility/CompatCenter/ProductDetailsViewer?Name=Qualcomm+Atheros+AR5BWB222+Wireless+Network+Adapter&vendor=Qualcomm+Atheros&Type=Hardware

IPhone 5s: Intermittent wifi; wifi signal is full but phone not connected to internet

Hi all, I have a strange wifi connectivity problem.
At home:
iPhone 5s connects normally to wifi, but after several minutes of usage (particularly browsing the internet), wifi signal remains full but safari states that phone is not connected to internet. Other apps like whatsapp also don't work. When I disable wifi then enable it again on my phone, I can connect to the internet temporarily again, but after a few seconds it disappears again. If I leave it for a while, it automatically connects again, but intermittently and unpredictably. All in all, unreliably.
At home, MacBook Air works fine with no connectivity issues.
At other wifi locations, the same iphone 5s has no problems at all with wifi connectivity.
Also, I have already
- reset phone
- reset network settings on phone
- reset router
- unplugged and replugged modem and router to wall switch
- previous iPhone 4 on iOS 7 had no issues with home wifi
Thus, I am uncertain if this is a phone or wifi issue. My best guess would be that it is a compatibility issue between the iPhone 5s and my home wifi?
Any suggestions as to where I could start solving this problem would be very appreciated! Thank you:)

If you are having WiFi problems it is necessary to isolate whether the problem is with your network or your iPhone. Note: Do NOT consider your network to be blameless if some other devices can connect to it.
First, test your iPhone on some other WiFi networks: a friends, Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, etc.
If it works well there then the problem is probably with your network. Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds. If that does not help check for a firmware update for your router. If none exists which corrects the problem consider replacing the router.
If your iPhone does not function well on other networks it possibly has a hardware problem. You could try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings to see if that corrects the problem. If not, contact Apple Support or visit an Apple store for evaluation. They can provide a replacement if your iPhone is bad.
If you need more help please give the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

Intermittent Wifi but solid signal and connection

Hi
I am at a loss. I have a strong wifi signal that is constantly connected. When I load websites from time to time I get nothing from safari and the spinning wheel - looking at the iStat Pro I have on my dashboard at these times shows my wifi signal as zero in/out - the graph is showing no activity under the network area. After some time the spinning wheel stops and the page loads. The iStat Pro graph shows the network graph peak again at the same time. My network graph looks like a series of humps when I load pages and long periods of nothing going on even though I'm switching to different pages.
It also sometimes occurs when I've downloaded a full internet page and am scrolling down the page - when I scroll I can sometimes get the same spinning wheel issue -
Any ideas what might be up>>>>

You might try disabling all add-ons to see if things work right. If so, the add them back one at a time to see which is/are creating your problems.

How can I fix an intermittent wifi connection with my MacBook laptop

I have experienced intermittent problems with the wifi connection on my MacBook (2006, 10.6.5 OSX) computer and noticed that other users have commented about this same issue. Not sure if the problem revolves around the updates from Apple or my wifi card but I only seem to loose my wifi connection with the MacBook. I have other Apple products, Iphones, Ipads and IMac and they all retain the wifi connection. Additionally, when I connect the internet cable directly to the MacBook, there is no loss of signal and I have no problem connecting to the Internet.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

After several unsuccessful attempts to resolve my intermittent wifi connection with a 2006 MacBook (I had service techs from Apple store, PeachMac and Computer Advantage check the intermittent wifi problem in store and they could not recreate this issue), I broke down and bought a new wifi card and installed it myself. The intermittent problem was resolved and my wifi connection works fine everywhere in my home. Ifixit's website has a great video that explains in detail how to remove and install a new wifi card and you will need the right tools and patience. Thanks to everyone that posted comments about this issue because the comments proved helpful in solving my problem.

Improve wifi signal?

I live in a shared apartment. The router is placed in the hall and my room is across it on the inside. If I step out of the room, I get full signal, but inside the room I get two bars. I don't have a laptop or PC. I want to know how can I improve my signal strength? Will a signal repeater come in handy? Is there any signal booster? Or do I need to add a router to the connection.. Thanks.

How is the router located in the hall - on a shelf? Position it as high as you can. Sometimes the router signal is somewhat directional. Experiment by turning the router to different positions.
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

(Bug) Google Talk on webOS 2.1 doesn't re-login after signal loss

Device: Palm Pre 2
WebOS version: 2.1.0
Issue: Google Talk does not automatically re-login after signal loss (and sometimes gets into a state that it cannot re-login at all)
Description: Whenever I lose signal (go in the elevator, into tunnels on the subway, etc...) I get logged out of Google Talk. On Palm Pre + with 1.4.5 on ATT i would never have a problem as it would always log me back in automatically as soon as (or shortly after) signal was found again, whether wifi or 3g/edge. But on Palm Pre 2 with webos 2.1, it stays logged off. I can manually set status to Available to re-login, but its really annoying and clearly used to work in the past. Additionally, in certain circumstances I get disconnected and CANNOT manually log back in. I try to set status to Available but nothing happens, no spinner, no nothing. The only way to get this to work again is if I do a restart (or Luna restart). I've notice this happens at my school where 3g connectivity is really poor and frequently I don't have any. Instead I connect to the school's wifi network which sometimes disconnects. After losing connectivity too many times and/or too many login failures, it just stops allowing me to re-login, even manually, until I restart.
This is really annoying and is a regression as it used to work in 1.4.5. Any ideas how to fix it and/or if a fix is being worked on would be greatly appreciated.
More info can be found here: http://forums.precentral.net/webos-discussion/282197-google-talk-webos-2-0-doesnt-re-login-after-sig...

Jetpack 5510l has no wifi signal - can only connect via usb to get Internet.

Bought this device on a Thursday and it worked flawlessly - until Saturday. The device has had a consistent connection to Verizon, but on Saturday the wifi began to 'go out.' The device showed everything was working, but the wifi radio seems to have just turned off (after intermittently failing for a period of a couple hours). We tried several different devices, none showed a working wifi signal coming from the mifi by the end of the day.
What we have done so far:
Rebooted.
Removed battery (after shutting down), restarted.
Used hard-reset button.
Used web intefrace to turn wifi on and off - and on, changed ssid, passphrase, reset again (after each phase we also gave it an hour to see if the signal would return).
Nothing has gotten the wifi from the device back online - it's as if either the radio or wifi antenna is completely broken. We attempt to connect using 3 or 4 different devices - so it is most certainly the mifi. There are no errors from the device - is there a debug / test mode?
Our current workaround is to connect via usb to a Macbook and just share the internet connection - which works great, but makes travel a bit more difficult if a computer has to be connected to allow us to have a wifi signal (not from the mifi).
Regards.

Taking the Jetpack apart is going to void your warranty. I would not suggest going down that road until your warranty is up. Instead give VZW a call and have them ship you a replacement under the warranty service agreement. You have done a perfect job of isolating the problem to a wifi radio issue. Its easy to recreate and confirm which will make the phone call fairly quick. Unless you got sold on some kind of Best Buy warranty and prefer to go through them, VZW is going to be your best bet at getting a speedy replacement.

Dropped WiFi signal, with a twist.

So I've read some earlier posts about Macs running SL dropping Wifi signal, which is consistent with the problems I am experiencing. Ever since I upgraded to SL, wifi signal has been dropping intermittently, maybe about 5 times a day. Running 10.5, these problems never occured.
The twist is, my entire network shuts down. Even PC's connected to the network drop their signal. I have to wait maybe about 30-60 seconds for the network to come back up. I know it's a far stretch to assume an operating system is causing my router to somehow shut off its signal, but the timing of upgrading to SL and having these problems is uncanny.
I have already called Linksys tech support and they instructed me to upgrade the firmware (I have the WRT54G V2 router, which is only about 1.5 years old, so I doubt the router has gone bad). At first I thought this did the trick, but the problems came back, although with less frequency, which is good. But it's still annoying!
Any help or incite is helpful.

Hey Nvius,
I have kind of the same problem, even in other then my own, wifi environments, i cause the whole network to crash. i tested this several times at a friends house. When i start my macbook and connect to the wifirouter, all other wifi clients loose their entire bandwidth. They stay connected to the rooter, excellent signal strength but impossible to access a site or even connect to the routers setup page.
Did you find a solution for your problem?

AE Time Capsule WiFi signal issues now??

Hi folks,
I bought the new AE Time Capsule when it first came out X number of months ago.
I live in a small townhouse and never had any issues previously with my WiFi signal, even when I had just the AE base station. I noticed though over the past few days, it seems like one of my Airport Express will lose its WiFi signal and it is literally 15 feet from my AETC. Now using Google Chromecast that is less than 50 feet away from my AETC, the Chromecast device shows a 2 bar wifi signal instead of 4. I haven't moved anything and the only new updates in our house is iOS7 on our iPads, and iPhones.
This past Sunday I know our Google Chromecast couldn't find the Chromecast device, which I know is a Google product. The reason for my posting here, then I noticed 1 of our AE being offline, while the other 2 seemed fine. I did swap out our cable modem from a Dlink modem to a Motorola SB6141 cable modem. Now last night, I also noticed our Belkin WeMo devices could not be found. Not sure what is going on, seems like only the past few days we are having WiFi issues... Is there something going on intermittently from the iOS7 upgrade?
Something is going on??????? Please let me know your thoughts. When I reset the AETC everything seemed fine for a little while, everything came back online. However it seems last night (Monday night), the Belkin WeMo devices were taking a long time to populate. So I am having issues with our WiFi overall in our home using Apples AE, Belkins WeMo devices (we only have the plug switches) and Google Chromecast. The common item is all of these devices are wireless connections.

I just wanted to confirm I had similar issues. I am running a new AE router (tower model). I have 2 WiFi networks in my house. One runs off the AE and the other off a Netgear running DD-WRT (sharing the same broadband connection). In recent weeks, my WeMo devices (total of 3) have not been displaying appropriately in the app. Sometimes 1, 2, 3 or none. WeMo and iPhone all on same AE network. If I turn off WiFi on my iPhone and use 3G,all devices appear.
I tried turning off my Netgear network and running everything through the AE and still no sucsess.
So, I have recently turned off my AE and gone back to my Netgear DD-WRT. I have had no issues now with my Wemo devices.
I haven't had enough time to track this down any further but just thought I would share my experience.

2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at

    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

No wifi signal in building with external window

Hi, We're looking at renting a downstairs office space in Rutland Square, Edinburgh. The office has a large window facing south, south east. Unfortunately we lose our mobile wifi signal in the space. We're doing a show that relies on WhatsApp for communication between a variety of locations. Can anyone advice please whether it might be possible to recieve a signal in the space somehow? We know EE has the best coverage in Edinburgh, wondering what we can do about this. Thanks, Sharon

Hi,
Have you tried wifi extenders?
Or are you talking about actual mobile signal loss?
Thanks,

My Ellipsis 8 can no longer detect my gym's wifi signal. Please help!

I used my Ellipsis 8 to watch Netflix over the open wifi signal at my gym for 2 months with no problem. One day I showed up and no signal was found. I went through all the trouble shooting steps all the way down to factory resets with no resolution. Called Verizon tech support and still nothing. They had me send them the tablet in a recovery box. One week later I have the tablet back and they said nothing was wrong with the unit. I went to the gym today and it still can not detect the signal. My Samsung phone picks up a very strong signal. No other people have reported a problem with wifi connection issues. Obviously Planet Fitness will not allow me to start messing with their router. Any suggestions would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!

I understand the importance of ensuring you are able to get connected to wifi michaeltatham. Allow us to get to the bottom of your tablet concerns. Have you recently installed any new software or new applications when it stopped connecting to the gym wifi? Have you tried to connect another device to your gym wifi?
Thank You,
