Internet Connect Problems Since Updates.different than the "settings" issue

Since the last couple of updates I have had nothing but trouble with my wireless connection on my MacBook Pro 104.11. I fixed the last problem but now any time I shut my computer off, I have to reset my wireless router (NetGear) in order to connect with airport. Otherwise it tells me it senses the router but not the internet.
I have 2 other computers running wirelessly and no such problems with them. They properly connect as soon as they are turned on.
Any ideas?

Hi starwander, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Make a New Location, Using network locations in Mac OS X ...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106653
Another thing that has worked for many is to just copy/duplicate that Location in Network>Location>Edit Locations..., then use that one.
It's easy to switch locations under the Apple icon.
Try putting these numbers in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers for the Interface you're using...
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Then Apply. These are safer/faster than most ISP's DNS numbers, and have been patched against DNS poisoning.
https://www.opendns.com/homenetwork/start/device/apple-osx-tiger
DNS Servers are a bit like Phone books where you look up a name and it gives you the phone number, in our case, you put in apple.com and it comes back with 17.254.3.183 behind the scenes.
And some Routers/Modems & Macs don't communicate it well.
WE have more if that doesn't work.

  • Iphone 4 bluetooth connectivity problems since updating to ios 5.01

    My wife and I both have an Iphone 4 through verizon.  I updated my ios to 5.01.  Hers is still 4.3.10.  Since updating mine the bluetooth feature have gone crazy.  When I get in my truck (2008 Nissan Frontier) it just continually connects and disconnects with the built in blue tooth system in that vehicle.  I cannot make or take a call on the system it just keeps dropping the connection then re-connecting.  Funny thing is my wife's phone doesn't have this problem.  It connects and functions normally.
    I wanted to just roll back ios 5.0.1 but I've found out you aren't allowed to do that.  Nissan has no updates for their bluetooth system either.
    I have gone the extreme of completely wiping out my iphone and re-installing everything fresh and that has done nothing.  I have also tried completely deleting all the phone saved in the truck's system and re-setting them up and that too has done nothing to fix the problem.
    Anyone have a suggestion?  I have to think that there is something in ios 5.0.1 that is messed up with bluetooth.

    Interesting discussion. I too am having connection issues with an original iPad. I have an olde' linksys wrt54gs router with a Linksys RE1000 wireless extender (repeater). I can connect to the router just fine when I'm in range but can't use the repeater signal on this iPad only. Even when I'm right on top of it. One thing that may have helped is changing from WPA2 to simple WPA encryption in the routers settings. So far (crosses fingers), it's working ok.

  • Macbook Pro Spontaneous shutdown (different than the original issue?)

    After two and a half years of use my computer has decided to hate me in a new and novel way, and due to a couple of changes recently I'm hard-pressed to pinpoint the issue. In short, it has fallen into the habit of shutting down spontaneously without notice or regard to power adapter, battery life, or even the battery that's in it.
    It seems to happen most often when I'm playing World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King, where it will, without fail, go to black within half an hour of booting up the program. It has happened, though far less regularily, while only using Safari.
    I've also recently replaced the battery, because the old one had finally stopped holding a charge whatsoever, and I'd also a few days prior cleaned out my hard disk as best I could of superflous crud because it'd run out of space, mostly to install WoW but also to free up reserve memory for Adobe programs, since I'm a graphic design student and so will regularily eat through all my memory easily with a 300 dpi 32x40 inch poster.
    I'm very stymied. It might be the battery but switching to the old one doesn't help, running without battery doesn't help, and it doesn't seem to matter if the power adapter is plugged in or not. It might be WoW being too hardware intensive but I'm well within the system reqs and I regularily run big bad programs anywsy. It might be that WoW is buggy, but it's shut down without me using it. It might be because I cleared out something important, but couldn't possibly think what that could've been, especially because it was mostly old games, photos, music, and logs. I have no idea what it could be. Any help? It would be much appreciated.

    How much RAM do you have installed?
    Check the shut down settings in Energy Saver.
    System Preferences>Energy Saver>Sleep>Schedule
    If you have AppleCare, then contact them.

  • Is software update different than iPhone software update?

    Is the v2.0.x iPod Touch update different than the iPhone version in terms of how it authenticates to networks? At work, an iPhone can authenticate just fine, but my iPod Touch (@ v 2.0.1) can not. It spins and spins saying it is connecting, but never does. Thx.

    You have to do more than just restart to apply a firmware update.

  • ASA 5505 - 2 Internet Connections, Problems with the Default Route

    Hey there,
    i have a Problem at a Customer Site at the moment. The customer uses an ASA 5505 with two internet connections attached to it. On the first connection (which is the only one in use at the moment) he has some Static-PAT's from Outside to Inside where he translates different services to the internal servers. He also has a site-2-site VPN terminating there and AnyConnect.
    He now wants to switch the Internet Traffic from Inside to the new Internet Connection. Therefore changing the default route to that new ISPs Gateway. The problem now is, that no traffic recieved on the old "outside" Interface is transmitted back out of that old "outside" Interface. And this happens although the "same-security permit intra-interface" command is set.
    Can you tell me what's wrong here? For every Static-PAT from outside to inside there is also a dynamic PAT from inside to outside. But the ASA seems to ignore this. I have not looked into the Logs yet, was too busy finding the problem because i had no real time window to test on the productive ASA.
    Can it be achieved in any way? Having a default route on the ASA which leads any traffic to the second internet connection while still having connections on the first internet connection where no explicit route can be set? Because connections arrive from random IPs?
    Many thanks for your help in advance!

    Phillip, indeed , I have as well read may comments,it all depends on your environment as they all differ from one another, you best bet is to have a good solid plan for upgrade and fall back. You do have a justification to upgrade for features needed, so I would suggest the following:
    1- Do a search again in forum for ASA code upgrades and look at comments from users that have gone through this process and note their impact in fuctionality if any. I believe this is good resource to collect information .
    2- Very important , look into release notes for a particular version. For example version 8.0, look into open CAVEATS usually at the end of the link page, reading the open bugs gives you clues what has not yet been resolved for that particular code and if in fact could impact you in your environment, it is possible that a particular bug does not realy apply to your environment becuase you have yet not implemented that particualr configuration. Usually we all try to aim towards a GD (General Deployment) code which is what we all understand is most stable but not necesarily means you have to be stack in that code waiting for another GD release, in my personal experience I have upgraded our firewall from 7.2 to 8.0(3) long ago and had no issues, and recently upgraded to 8.0(4)when it was first release in August this year.
    Release notes
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6120/prod_release_notes_list.html
    3- AS a good practice precaution -
    a-Backup firewall configs in clear text as well as via tftp code.
    b-Backup running code and ASDM version code currently running in firewall.
    c- Save the output of " show version " to have as reference for all the feature licenses you currently have running as asll as activation keys - good info to have to compare with after upgrade.
    d- Ensure that the code you will be using to upgrade also uses correct ASDM version code.
    I think with thorough assesment and preparation you can indeed minimize impact.

  • Just one month before i bought iphone 5... but the iphone has the internet connectivity problem... while a iphone 4s is cathcing 3G tower, whereas iphone 5 is catching 2G network only.... I've tried so many things to get recovered, but alas

    Just one month before i bought iphone 5... but the iphone has the internet connectivity problem... while a iphone 4s is cathcing 3G tower, whereas iphone 5 is catching 2G network only.... I've tried so many things to get recovered, but alas, nothing is workable- such as- restaring the iphone, reseting the networks etc... Please help me out from this problem..

    to be clear, my phone works fine when not in motion in a vehicle.  If I pull over and come to a complete stop, remaining in the car, my phone works.
    And while the phone is not working when I'm in motion, an internet search or a text message will go through, but I can not use Siri or any voice assistance when doing the text message or internet search.  The microphone is greyed out.
    So this is a unique issue, which appears to be the iPhone and not Verizon.

    PS - I just sent this to a few of my friends in the big hardware review sites, as well as a few apple execs:
    Whats up guys? Its your old buddy dom "battleship mtron author , 9 ssd drives in raid 0" years ago. lol
    I wanted to fill you in on a HUGE problem with the new ios 6 update.
    My iphone 4 updated without a hitch.
    My ipad 3 on the other hand has a HUGE PROBLEM. It is essentially a brick without wifi (since the device relies on wifi for just about every task).
    There are currently hundreds of a users within the last 2 hours reporting the same error on the apple discussions site.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/19626235#19626235
    What happens is simple:
    1. Download and install the update on Ipad 3.
    2. Try and connect to your normal wifi connection.
    3. It will connect for a few seconds and than fail stating "no internet connection available"
    4. It is no a brick without wifi accessibility. (unless we revert to ios 5)
    I have tried resetting my router. Resetting settings on the ipad. Renewing the ip address both LOCALLY and through the WAN at the cable modem and rebooting all of my networking equipment (ie: router), I even tried doing a complete wipe and re-install of ios 6 fresh. You guys know I am a tech geek from my background and I have tried everything so I just wanted to fill you in on this potential problem for apple.

  • RG54G2 Wireless Router Internet Connection Problem

    Hi,
    (apologies for the long message - trying to cover all details - summary: wireless router often drops internet connection)
    I recently bought an RG54G2 Wireless Router, a CB54G2 PCMCIA Wireless card and a D-Link GWL-630 PCMCIA Wireless card.  In addition to two laptops connected to the wireless router WLAN, I have two PCs (one Win WP Pro SP 1 and one Win98SE) connected to the router via wired LAN.  I also have a SurfBoard SB3100 Cable Modem connected to the WAN port (this connects to my ISP -  Optusnet (Australia) via DHCP).
    The problem I have is that the internet connection is disconnected many times a day (often every few minutes, sometimes an hour or so).  I am able to reconnect by resetting the wireless router via the wireless router configuration page.  When the internet is disconnected I am still able to access the computers on the LAN/WLAN (via Windows Explorer and Ping), I am also able to ping the router and the Cable Modem, but nothing outside of the cable modem.
    Also, when the internet is disconnected the System Status page indicates that the router is still connected to the internet, and the Diagnostics page passes the Test Connection test, though no external pings work.
    I did not have this problem when the cable modem was connected directly to the Win98SE PC (and other PCs via ICS).
    I have disabled the WLAN and the problem still exists with only the wired LAN.
    I have changed numerous settings in the wireless router config page with no success (eg disabling DHCP and setting each IP address, minimising LAN and WLAN speeds to 10 and 11MBps plus others).
    I have upgraded the wireless router firmware to R1.0.6.0 (no change to the problem).
    Searching on Google I have found several other cases of routers with unstable internet connections (none refering to the MSI routers), but none had solutions that helped my situation (most replies suggested updating the firmware).
    Any suggestions of how to make the router internet connection stable?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    maybe this is the FIX 4 wireles router internet connection problem
    please let me know if any one fix the problem with this tips

    Subject: SOLUTION to my router loosing connection to Windows XP
    Reply | Reply to Author | Forward | Print | Individual Message | Show original | Report Abuse
    I am happy to report that after 8 days of constant battles, reboots, phone
    calls, cable pulling, router changing, it seems that I finally have found a
    combination that has had me using Verizon DSL account for over 12 hours so
    far without any kind of interruptions.
    Since so many of you tried giving me comments and suggestions, I felt that
    it is necessary for me to post this here so that the next person will not
    (hopefully) need to go through this hell as I did!
    My original problem was that when after I purchased a D-Link Wireless Router
    DI-624, I would get disconnected from Verizon DSL at least once every 2
    hours or so. My internet access would "freeze" and then a little popup box
    at the bottom right system tray would tell me that the "LAN cable has been
    unplugged".   After about a minute or so, my internet connection would be
    back working   This was NEVER happening during the 2+ years I was using my
    Westell modem alone (running in router mode).
    Please keep in mind: The problem I was having was not wireless related as
    it was happening to the desktop computer to which the router/westell was
    connected to!
    During these last 8 days, I tried: one DI-624 wireless router, two Netgear
    614v3 routers and two Linksys WRT54G v.2 routers. In addition, I received a
    brand new Westell 2200 modem from Verizon.   I also tried about four
    different CAT-5 cables. Here is the final outcome:
    I have the Linksys WRT54G (version 2) wireless router connected to the
    Netgear Fast Ethernet FA310TX network card in Auto-Sense mode (using the
    built-in XP drivers, as Netgear told me that there was never a newer
    revision released). I have DISABLED the built-in 3Com Gigabit LOM (3C940)
    network card (via the ASUS P4C800 Deluxe motherboard BIOS), DISABLED the
    Zero Wireless Configuration service, and have put in the IP/Gateway/DNS
    address numbers inside my Windows XP Network Connections | LAN setup. My
    operating system is Windows XP Pro SP1 and the modem is a Westell 2200
    configured as bridge only.
    If my situation continues to be stable, I *might* try to go back to the 3Com
    built-in card (disable any power management) and then re-enabling the Zero
    Wireless Configuration services. But in reality, I am happy with the way
    things are and have already spent enough time trying to get my router to
    work with Verizon DSL without having it drop connections!
    Now, the next step will be setting up the WIRELESS part of this. I don't
    even yet have a laptop with me on the premises, but the 802.11g card that I
    already have is the D-Link DWL-G650. I hope and assume that this will work
    okay with the Linksys...
    One thing I must say is that I never realized that how many problems other
    users are having. I would have thought that since 802.11x has been around
    in the mainstream by now 2+ years, that things would have been much more
    "system friendlier".   And again, my issues were not even WIRELESS related.
    All 3 tech supports were not really helpful, as none of them realized that
    the problem is somehow between the router and Windows XP (Ethernet card?)
    loosing a connection, which of course results in Verizon DSL loosing the
    connection also.
    One other comment about the Netgear 614 v.3 router: A number of people have
    responded to tell me that they have had this random "router resetting"
    happen to them (where the routers behaves as if someone turned the power off
    and then back on, and the lights flash) just as if you first turn it on). I
    was lucky to witness it myself during one of the "disconnects" that I had.
    This was actually the reason why I went back to try the Linksys one more
    time. So, I would definitely recommend staying way from this 614 (version
    3) model.
    Once again - THANK YOU everyone!

  • Internet Connect crash/Software Update won't open

    I have a 500mhz G3 slot loading iMac running 10.3.9
    About 2 weeks ago, after waking FrankenMac up from sleep mode, I noticed the Airport status symbol failed to appear in the menu bar (next to the volume/date&time etc).
    Looking into my Network settings revealed that I was indeed still connected to the internet, via my Airport, all systems go. However, I noticed that "show airport status in menu bar" was unchecked, so I checked the box. Which apparently did jack squat b/c there's still no icon.
    For the last couple weeks, as long as I've been connected to the internet, I could really give a flying flip about whether the airport status icon is there or not. I mean, seriously. I know this computer is a little old so why rock the boat on something trivial?
    Until today. Today I was determined to figure out where the icon is, why it went away and if there are any other underlying problems.
    I started first with Internet connect. Applications->Internet Connect, clicked on the purple IC button, only to have it launch in the dock, bounce once, then quit.

    This ridiculously long post boils down to 2 questions, really.
    • Any ideas why Internet Connect and Software Update won't open and how to fix?
    • Where in the world is my Airport status icon? (not that it matters since I'm connected to the internet, but doggone it!)
    I've run Disk Utility, repaired permissions and the HD checks out fine. I'm just at a loss (not surprising, given my limited amount of fix-it-yerself knowledge)
    Should I just put up, shut up and be grateful that these problems, while aggravating, aren't majorly disrupting my life?

    Okay no worries, can't find where to delete this post...
