Internet disconnecting when using WPA

About 3 weeks ago my wireless connection started dropping on a regular basis. I would be on the web, and then i would not be able to access any pages. Everytime, I would have to power cycle the router and the wireless would reconnect....then about an hour later, same issue.
I contacted Verizon tech suppot and he could not connect to my router because I was using WPA for security instead of the default WEP. The tech told me that Verizon was trying to push out some updates or something and that they could not because I was not using THEIR recommended security settings of 64 bit WEP.....he said I would have to revert to WEP or I would continue to have problems.
I reverted back to WEP and have had no problems at all. Everytime I try to put WPA back, I have the same issue.
Anyone else having this issue?
Personally, if this is true, I'm not going to be very happy about this. So either the tech was an idiot or Verizon is being **bleep** by not allowing people to use a different security setting.

thats what i was thinking too. I'll have to check the setup for WPA, I have the Westell 9100 router, so I'm not sure it has the same setup as the ActionTec.
Thanks for the info. I'll check tonight/tomorrow and post my findings.

T440p: internet disconnects when using BT mouse

I have the 2x2 Thinkpad wireless card and when I use my bluetooth mouse the internet disconnects and I get a "limited connection". I have the latest drivers for everything.

Hi iphetamine and Jakoob,
Remember that this is users helping users here, moderated by volunteers like me. Although there is some Lenovo presence, they can't patrol the entire community. They do try to help with some of the broader issues.
Any possibility you're in a marginal WiFi reception area, and Bluetooth interferes with it?
I don't work for Lenovo. I'm a crazy volunteer!

Ichat, AIM, & Adium all frequently disconnect when using Air

Ichat, AIM, & Adium all frequently disconnect when using Airport. I use a Linksys Wireless Router with an Airport extreme card. When directly connected to the router, I have no problem. Using a PC with Windows XP, AIM operates fine. Safari and Firefox work fine, although sometimes I receive errors connecting to pages, when I try again no problem. Using any of the chat programs, I lose connection, but then can reconnect. After a few times, the AOL servers will prevent login.
I use COMCAST Cable internet service. My wireless router uses WEP encryption. I would switch to an AIrport Base station, but doubt it would correct the problem.
I have had this problem previously, but it corrected itself. now it is making chat programs unusable.
Any ideas?

Hi John,
By default Linksys units normally have the IP address of 192.168.1.1
Is this true for both your units or have you changed one of them ?
You may only find this out if you connect directly to the Modem one.
Also you have not said if only one of them is doing DHCP.
Example pic 3 on this page. This shows this device as getting it own contact IP address by DHCP (like from your ISP). Further down the page in the pic it shows the device is also acting as a DHCP server to the local net.
If your router is set up like this it could be getting an IP address usng DHCP like this device shows and that would tend to mean that the Modem is acting as a DHCP server as well.
If both devices still have the default IP addresses you will have conflicts, which probably explians the problems you have.

Some RST are seen during TCP disconnection when using SSL connection

Some RST are seen during TCP disconnection when using SSL connection
It is expected that the disconnection sequence for a secure connection to be as follow:
client ************************* server
--- alert (warning, close notify) --->
<--- alert (warning, close notify) ---
in any order;
and then:-
--------------- FIN, ACK ------------>
<----------- FIN, ACK ---------------
------------------ ACK ----------------->
Instead of the sequence described above, the TCP connection for a secure connection is closed with an RST.
For instance, Wireshark capture shows that an SSL+SASL TCP connection is closed in the following manner:
client ************************** server
--- alert (warning, close notify) ---->
---------------- FIN, ACK ------------>
<--- alert (warning, close notify) ---
<----------- FIN, ACK ---------------------
------------ RST -----------------> *(This RST message should be investigated, an ACK message was expected)*

I agree it should be an ACK not an RST but it doesn't really matter. The connection is closed, and as neither the client nor the server has any pending data it is benign. Worth investigating in a later JRE.

Detect Client Disconnect When using RTMP

Hello,
I hava a Java Server and Clients using RTMP. I've read somewhere that I can detect instantly client disconnection when using RTMP. However I cannot find an example code (in Java) that demonstrates this functionality? Can you help me please?

I am not sure how your client looks, however the lient connect using NetConnection under the hood which spits NetStatusEvents's and you can listen to them ...

Ichat/internet disconnecting when lid is closed

Hello,
Whenever i'm online using ichat or I doing anything internet-related, when i shut the cover of the computer everything signs off....i get disconnected from the internet completely and kicked off of ichat/aim. how can i shut this off?
Thank you!

Closing the lid puts the computer to sleep, which closes all of its network connections except for the ability to wake it up by sending it a magic packet over the Ethernet interface.

FMS auto disconnects when using a class

I am trying to implement a very simple class that will create
an instance of the NetConnection object and connect to the FMS
server. However, the client will connect then immediately
disconnect when the swf is published. My code is as follows...
FLA Code:
import _includes.*;
var obj_conn:Conn = new Conn();
obj_conn.connect();
Conn.as Code:
class _includes.Conn
public function Conn()
public function connect()
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect("rtmp://localhost/classtest");
Please note that the connection works fine if I just create a
NetConnection variable on the FLA itself in the timeline. Any
suggestions/help would be appriciated!

it think this is happen because you use local variable : your
variable is delete at the end of connect() so your NetConnection
will be closed in the same time.
try this:
Conn.as Code:
class _includes.Conn
private var objNetCon:NetConnection;
public function Conn()
public function connect()
this.objNetCon = new NetConnection();
this.objNetCon.connect("rtmp://localhost/classtest");
}

Internet disconnects when trying to connect a vpn on a different user account on the same computer

Im trying to have one user account with my real ip address and another user account on windows 8 with a vpn connection. Everytime i switch (i dont logout i just lock the user) then try to connect a vpn on the other user account the internet disconnects
on the other user account. It's like it wants to change my entire internet connection to use the vpn instead of having a seperate connection on each user account. is there a way around this or am i stuck having to use two laptops? I also unchecked
Use default gateway on remote network on the vpn.

Hi,
Try to temporary disable firewall to see if the same issue occurs.

MacBook internet disconnects when I connect BB10 with USB

Everytime I connect my phone to my laptop via the usb (supplied with orignial device) the internet on my MacBook disconnects and I lose my VPN connection.
It seems the Z10 creates a new 'Blackberry' Network connection which overrides my computer settings. If I disable this connection it is simply recreated the next time I connect my Z10 and my internet disconnects and I lose my VPN connection.
Any idea how I can prevent this? I could do with a setting to switch this behaviour on or off rather than the Z10 assuming I want to use it to connect.

Hey 8lettersuk,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
I have a few questions before I get started:
1. Are you using Cisco AnyConnect as the VPN client on your Mac?
2. What version of BlackBerry 10 are you currently running? Go to Settings>About to find this information.
I look forward to your reply.
Cheers.

Does a device need constant internet access when using Adobe products?

If a user wants to use photoshop on a device that is not 1)on an network 2) does not have internet access. Is this a problem when launching the program?

Hi CarolynHayden,
No. Your application are installed directly on your computer, so you won't need an ongoing Internet connection to use them on a daily basis.
An Internet connection is required the first time you install and license your desktop apps, but you can use the apps in offline mode with a valid software license.
Please let us know if this was helpful.

My HP 2 in 1 starts-up with a connection to my LAN, but it disconnects while the start-up sequence is running if it is started with the power button. When I select restart from the power-off options, the LAN conection starts and remains connected, even if it was not connected when I restarted. I've updated the driver and taken your other suggestions. I have MS-Office, Norton 360 and Dropbox on the computer. My other wireless devices work fine. Suggestions? Thanks....

Disconnects when using ethernet

I have no idea why my macbook does this, but every few days, for a period of a few days, it disconnects itself from the internet every minute or so.
Every time it does this, i've noticed it changes its IP address. I suspect that has nothing to do with it though.
I'm using my university's network via ethernet. If I connect to their campus wireless network, i don't encounter the same problem. That isn't a good alternative though, as it is considerably slower. also, my dorm room is just far enough away that the signal can be inconsistent.
I considered that my ethernet cable/wall plug might be faulty. I tested out several other cables and wall jacks and encountered teh same problem. Also, that wouldnt' explain how i do get a few days of normal connectivity between these periods of disconnecting.
I honestly have no idea what the problem could be. I know very little about networking...
Any help would be much appreciated!

If you using DHCP ip address, the ip changes might not affect that and wont disconnect you from internet.
It might changes when you try to reconnect and give you new ip address since the previous one already taken by others.
Consult your dorm network administrator about your problem, and try to turn off your wireless while using wired connection (I don't see it related, but give it a shot).
Good Luck.

Upgrading the Linksys Router's Firmware Question How do I upgrade the Linksys Router’s firmware?
Answer The new firmware adds numerous functions to the router. To setup a Linksys router with a DSL connection you need to perform four steps:
1. Downloading the Firmware
2. Upgrading the Router’s Firmware
3. Completing the Firmware Upgrade
4. Completing the Firmware Upgrade Process
Downloading the Firmware
Step 1:
Before downloading the firmware, make sure your computer has an active Internet connection. If your computer is plugged directly into the router and cannot get online, disconnect your router and plug your computer directly into your cable or DSL modem.
Step 2:
To go to the Linksys download page, click here and verify the model and version number of your Linksys product. For instructions, click the link How to find Model number.
Step 3:
After obtaining the model number of the Linksys router, enter the model number in the Enter Model Number field, then click GO.

Slow internet speed when using AirPort

Hi
I guess this may have been discussed before, but I could really do with some clear advice on the subject. I own a 2007 Mac Pro with an AirPort wi-fi card fitted by Apple as an option when I bought the machine. However, for some time now, I have experienced problems with my wi-fi connection when on the net.
Firstly, there's the signal. When I switch the computer on first and then access the internet, all four bars on the AirPort icon on my desktop are in black. However, after a while this starts to drop to three or two - sometimes even just one. The connection speed to the net decreases as the bars drop. When all four bars are filled in black, my connection speed is still not very good. My Mac Pro is not really far from my AirPort Extreme - in fact I have tried my old Windows XP based laptop in the same room and it appears to be fine provide better access speeds (even though it's an older machine)!
Secondly, my Mac Pro doesn't seem to like my 8 digit WPA-PSK security key on my modem (accessed through the AirPort Extreme base station). When I disconnect and try to re-connect to my network (as sometimes this helps my connection speed when it's low) the Mac asks me to punch in my key. I do this and it never seems to recognise it. Tried changing the password key through my modem's settings via an ethernet cable, yet still - when asked to type in the key when trying to access wirelessly - it is not recognised.
Can anyone offer any advice?? I have a Netgear modem/router with an AirPort Extreme 802.11n base station. I purchased my Mac Pro June 2007 from Apple.
Thanks

I know cable connection is faster than bluetooth. But BT connection shouldn't be that slow.
