Internet connection after a time disconnects and must Reboot

With excellent signal indicated, I am able to connect to the Internet with Firefox or IE. Then after a short time, I get an Error Message indicating it can't connect to selected URL, e.g., Google.com. I then have to ReBoot. I am using Linksys Router WRT54GC (Compact).

hi , here is what you do....access the router using http://192.168.1.1 "admin" is the password....;go to the wirelsss section and select channel 11..save settings....then go to the advanced wireless section and reduce the beacon interval to 50 and reduce the RTS and fragmentation threshold by 40 each....
this will just increas the quality of your wireless signals....restart your PC and observe.

No internet connection after downloadind 5.0 and it told me that my computer is not compatible and needs to be fixed . how?

I don't know a whole lot about computers,so i will try my best. My computer showed the update for the new 5.0 firefox , so I clicked to download the new version and it showed me that certain things were not compatible and they would need to fixed. So, I downloaded the new version and I do not get internet and not sure what to do. Help!

As all of the msuic came from your computer in the first place it should still be there. Is it not?
EVERYTHING on your ipod should also be on your computer and should be included in your regular backup copy of your computer.
Make sure that everything is on your computer. You can transfer itunes purchases from the ipod. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases.
When everything is on your computer, then it can be synced back to the ipod after updating.

Im Using iPhone 4. i connected to my home WiFi router for browing internet.. Sometimes its automaltically disconnected and must i off and on it again for using.. why its happening?

Look on the support pages for your WiFi router for a firmware update for the router.
It's hard to say much more without knowing the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

HT1218 Airport Time Capsule losing internet connection after 3 hours

I just got a Time Capsule and my internet connection seems to time out after 3 hours or so. My macbook/iphones/ipad seem to still connect to the internet but there is no internet connection. The only fix seems to be unplugging the modem every 3 hours. I think I have the most updated systems on everything. Does anyone know what I need to do?

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?

ITunes crashes my internet connection almost every time I launch it

Hello,
since my last upgrading to iTunes 10.1.2, (I did not do it for a long while), I am experiencing severe disconnections from the internet. These disconnections do not usually occur at the moment of the lauching, but a little bit later, when I am looking for a specific tune. The application seems freeze during its searching, then I lose my internet connection. It becomes not possible to retrieve the connection once lost, apart from restarting the computer. It is extremely frustrating. This occurs 3 times out of 4... Are some people experiencing the same problems as me, and will the developers do something?
I am connected to a Neuf-SFR box router by the way of an Hercules Wifi key. I tried to remove the key and plug it again after the problem occurs, but nothing happened.

Just for info, I just discovered the long long thread about the blank page instead of the iTunes store screen (cf http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2743839&tstart=0 ): I had the same trouble, that was the reason why I decided to upgrade to the last release of itunes. The end being, that now the goody good screen appears like before, but that the new release cuts my internet connection a few time after I've launched it.

Apple programs will not recognize Internet connection after Tiger upgrade

In January, I posted the question below. I wanted to update it, but this site has archived it and will not allow responses. In the hope that I may help someone else, I am repeating my question, now that I have the answer.
===============================================
ORIGINAL PROBLEM
Last week, I upgraded from 10.3.9 to Tiger. Ever since then, I have had trouble using Apple's programs that require internet usage: Safari, iTunes, Software Update, etc. All of these programs think I am not connected to the Internet. But I am; I can use Netscape, Internet Explorer, and other non-Apple programs on the web.
Furthermore, it's not consistent. Sometimes Safari will recognize the connection. I'll be using Safari, looking up websites, when suddenly it will quit connecting, giving me the message, "Cannot connect to the server," no matter what server it is, even apple.com (so I have to use Netscape to access my .Mac and this Support screen).
How can I resolve this?
==============================================
The problem was that my Earthlink Access software was setting a proxy on my connection. Netscape & Firefox worked because they ignore any proxies; the Apple programs (plus Shiira and Internet Explorer) didn't connect because they use the proxies.
Why did it sometimes work? Well, if I first used Safari to go to a secure website of my bank, somehow that opened up the connection and then I could continue to use the Internet and Internet based programs like iTunes and widgets. However, if I tried to use an Internet-based program before going to the secure site, then it wouldn't work.
After months of phone calls and e-mails and sending data packets and all such stuff with Apple Care, they finally stumbled upon this answer: Uncheck the proxy box. And that did it. At first I had to uncheck it every time I started up the computer, but now it stays unchecked and I can use my Apple programs with no trouble.
I just wanted to share this with you in case you also had trouble with Internet connections after upgrading to Tiger, because I did see several other people had this same trouble.
Movable flat-screen iMac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6) 1.25Ghz processor, 256 MB memory (DDR SDRAM)

For the record, could you state each Proxy box you ended up unchecking please? I'll attempt to submit a user tip with credit to you for finding this solution.

Lost internet connection after installing BT dongle (MS-6967)

I have tried installing the MSI Bluetooth USB dongle (MS-6967) drivers twice. I tried the 1.3.1 version and the 1.4.2 version drivers. The Bluetooth dongle itself works fine, but both times I lost my internet connection after installation. After this I have to remove the drivers and repair my installation with the Windows CD, but then windows and all of my programs also need to be updated again since my original Windows CD is a first release version.
The weird thing is that I can connect to other local computers and I can even ping external computers, but browsing websites (on IP address), looking up domain names and retrieving mail are no longer possible. I have no firewall software installed.
Does anyone konw how to fix this?

Am I really the only one with this problem? Well I have seen someone else on another forum ...
Maybe someone knows how to reinstall just the TCP/IP stack?
I'm using a notebook with buil-in network card. It runs W2K dutch version SP4 and things worked before when I was using SP1. Somehow it doesn;t work now anymore. Before I start reinstalling everyting again, I just want to check once more if anyone has some tips for recovering.

Internet connection being faulty at home and work, along with certain programs refusing to work, i.e. creative cloud, word, preview

My internet connection seems to cut out and nothing loads to even a no internet connection page. This happens at home and work so its not the providers problem and every other device connected to the wifi is working. I realise some programs run with internet but programs such as preview and others close immediately after opening with on explanation
I've also tried resetting permissions and clearing DNS, seemed to be successful for a shortwhile but the problem persists

MBA loses internet connection after waking from sleep

I have a new Macbook Air running Mavericks and new 802.11ac Airport Extreme router.
My problem is that the MBA drops the internet connection after waking from sleep. I tried the solution offered by the OP, but it didn't work.
In my case, here's what I have to do to get a connection again. I open the Network preference pane, and then choose "Assist me..." and then "Diagnostics". Invariably it will show a green light beside Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Settings and Network Settings. I have 5 bars showing in the WiFi menu bar icon. But ISP, Internet and Server will be yellow.
When I go through the steps prompted by the wizard, the ISP/Internet/Server lights turn green on the third screen where I select the wireless network I want to join.
It seems as if it's connecting to the WiFi network when it wakes from sleep, but losing the internet connection?
Note: I have a new iMac as well running Mavericks and don't have this problem with it.

The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

I'm having problems with my internet connection after installing OS X Lion. Is this a known problem or just a local problem?

I'm having problems with my internet connection after installing OS X Lion. Is this a known problem or just a local problem?
After +/- 10 to 15min my connection is gone.
Does anyone have a sollution?

Lots of people are having the same problem, you're not the only one, belieeeeve me.
Just Googling the problem gets you tons of people complaining about the same thing, SOMETHING is up with Lion what wasn't happening with Snow Leopard. i just bought a new Imac and it CAME with Lion, so i started experiencing this internet dropout immediately.
It's been going on for the most of a year it looks like (at least by the dates from the threads i've been reading)
So your best bet is to fiddle with the System Preferences and read what other people have used to make theirs work. i'm doing that myself right now. I already posted a similar thread last night trying to figure out why my connection kept on dropping, i got a reply which linked me to a site. i followed the instructions there, so far so good, but i'm just being cautiously optimistic.
i'm gonna call Apple today and see if they've found anything, though seeing as this is a problem right out of the box there may not be an immediate solution. Good luck hunting for a solution :3

I've lost internet connection after a power outage; how do I restore?

I've lost internet connection after a power outage; how do I restore?

Check with your internet provider for help. Your modem or router could have been damaged if they did not come on after the outage. If your modem and router look OK all you should have to do is restart your iMac.

IMac keeps on loosing internet connection after a few minutes...

Intel dual core iMac with 10.6.8 OS keeps losing internet connection after a few minutes. Need to put it to sleep and bring it up again. Than it works again...for a few minutes. Other equipment like laptops and iPad using same wifi internet connection and have no connectivity problem at all... What to do?

Then what I suggest that you do is go to the Finder and select Mac Help in the Help menu. In Mac Help go to Index>C>Connect to the Internet. There you can read all about configuring your Mac, using a modem, etc. After you better understand how all that works then come back with your questions.
