Iphone 5c can't keep internet connection

Hi everyone,
I recently opened a new internet account to my service provider in Switzerland.
I am having troubles with my iphone 5c: for some reason when I am in my room it cannot keep the connection and looses it all the time. I need to go back to the living room to re-establish it and if I leave to my room again it looses it.
The distance between the router and my bed is around 5m and I have 2 walls that separate both points (my kitchen corridor is in the middle).
My 2007 macbook pro can keep the connection perfect and so can my iphone 3Gs from 2010. Does anyone know why would my most recent iphone not be able to do this? I do not think it is a problem of wifi strength since both iphone 3 and mbp are on the 5GHz frequency.
Moreover, I used to have another router (prior to changing to my new internet account) from the same provider and the iphone 5c had no problem keeping the connection.
I tried playing with the channels to see if it would do something but nothing conclusive.
Anyone has an idea why would this happen? this would help a lot!
Thanks in advance!
Cheers!

For those interested this solved my problem: I changed the name of my wifi. Turns out the name I had by default was the name of my router (which is the router's model). In my building around 3 different wifis had the same name which I'm guessing confused the iphone. Now that my wifi has its own name the iphone has no more problem!
Hope this will help some!
Cheers

IPhone 3GS can't share internet connection with a windows 7 64 bit version?

I have an iPhone 3GS with the latest iOS installed, then the personal hotspot option is ON and it shares internet connection to a laptop with Windows 7, 32 bit version and with the latest version of itunes installled (10.6.1.7).
But when I connect this same iPhone to another laptop with Windows 7, 64 bit version with the latest version of itunes 64 bit, there is no internet sharing, no error, no signal of fails, it is just as if the hotspot option were OFF.
Its is posible to share internet from iPhone 3GS to a PC with Windows 7, 64 bit version?

Hey there @slee , welcome back
I would suggest trying the steps in this guide for the installation troubles you are having on your one specific Windows 7 computer.

You can also try disabling your firewall while you run the installation to see if that helps.

If you want to solve your problems, unjailbreak. And don't do it again, because jailbreaking causes problems as you read about in that article. You can try Recovery Mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

Can you combine internet connections ?

I've heard that you can combine 2 internet connections in to one faster one, fisrst is this posible with the MacPro using the two gigabit ethernet ports on the back (MacPro Mid 2012)? To do this i've heard that you need a special Router, a Link Aggregation Control Protocol supported one which is about $500, but im not sure if that is the kind of router you need. Anyone who got experience in this who could help me ?
Thanks,

Your Mac Pro 65lb tower with dual Ethernet ports does indeed support Link Aggregation.
It requires a Router or Switch that supports Link Aggregation Protocol, which is an expensive industrial-strength device.
OS X Mountain Lion: Combine Ethernet ports
If you do not have enough of a "mix" of traffic from multiple sources, some readers have complained that their speedup was disappointing. At least in older versions, connections were made in a permanent virtual circuit fashion, assigning each connection to one side or the other, and not using the full bandwidth for a single connection. Fail-over is supported just fine.
This also begs the question of where do you get anything else to connect to, that runs at 2Gbits/sec. Most Internet connections can't go anywhere near that fast, so it will not improve your download speeds.
Are you doing a lot of local File Transfers? Fiber channel may be more appropriate to support a Network Attached Storage device.

How can I keep MAC connected to a specific router on my 3 router home network

How can I keep MAC connected to a specific router on my 3 router home network? Closest router is Airport in same room but keeps jumping to Belkin router one floor below.

In the settings, be sure the Channel your router works on is Different than the other.
Be sure the Security is set, so you login to the correct router with password.
Have the computer remember the home wireless router of your choice. Not just any.
Be sure your router in top in the list of connection sources for your computer.

Acrobat XI can't find internet connection

I have had Adobe CC subsciption for some time now, but recently my Acrobat stopped working. it says that it can't find internet connection. But all the other Adobe applications installed through the CC application manager are working fine.
I've had numerous chats with Adobe agents, and with my office's IT guys, and there has been no solution.
We use corporate anti-virus, firewall and proxy scrypts. I've had all Adobe links whitelisted that were given to me by the Adobe agents. The hosts file doesn't have any Adobe info. I've tried reinstalling n+1 number of times, with various options such as selected boot and such, and still no solution.
Why is it that all other Adobe applications installed under the CC work fine, but Acrobat doesn't?
It's sad that if one buys a subscription and loses internet, one would lose all the products as well. One should be allowed to work on the applications, internet connection or not.
Please help with this Acrobat that has created a circus for me here.

Have you also asked in http://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat to find out if someone there has the same problem... and a solution?

Setting up my AT&T Tilt to connect to any WiFi network? Can't keep a connection

I can find access points, but can't keep a connection. Is there a step by step I could follow? I don't have much with this type of setup.

There are two access points which offer free Wifi at a local shopping center, Staples and Panera Bread, with a 3rd being in range of my own home.
I've been able to connect to the 3rd (with a clear "Connected" message being displayed), but each time I open my Explorer I receive the message
"Cannot Connect. Ensure that your phone is correctly configured, service is available, and that flight mode is turned off before trying again."
and my connection is dropped. I'm positive Flight Mode is not active and I see a network with a single strength bar under my wireless manager, so it almost certainly is the 3rd possibility of configuration problems. As I test I connected to sereral sites, including Yahoo and Google, but neither test yields access. Are there basic settings that my phone requires to be entered for this function?

How can I use Apple TV with iPhone 4S and no home Internet connection?

Ok here is the situation. I'm at my grandparents house where I have the following setup;
NO home Internet connection
iPhone 4S
Verizon carrier with unlimited data plan
Apple TV (I believe it's the latest one)
Lynksys router
What I would like to do is stream Netflix, HBO GO, or You Tube and put it on my grandparent's tv where I have the Apple TV hooked up.
I thought it wouldn't be a problem however I can't figure out how to be on the same network from the router and receive 3G data at the same time.
Is it possible to do what I want with this setup? If so how?
Thanks

I think I worked out a solution given my equipment. I was looking around on other forums and I found the following post concerning the ability for iPhone 4S to be on 3G and wifi simultaneously.
"I know this thread is old and op may have discovered the answer already. However, I am posting this just in case someone else might be looking for a solution.
The solution does not require any additional software nor require a jailbreak.
All you need to accomplish this is already built into every iPhone and iPad with 3G.
Connect to your wifi and write down the IP address your router assigned you. Then, select static tab instead of DHCP and fill in the IP address your DHCP server assigned to your iPad. Next, fill in the subnet mask but leave the rest of the fields empty.
You now have access to your wifi as well as 3G.
I ran into this issue when I wanted to use live traffic using 3G for my iPad's GPS and still connect to my GoFlex Satellite using wifi. It works extremely well."
AFter configuring my phone to the router, as mentioned above, I connected my Apple TV to the same router. Using the mirroring option I was able to airplay Netflix, You Tube and Flixster flawlessly from my phone to the big screen. Direct TV and HBO GO did not work however.
I Then tried to access items directly from Apple TV thinking that it could use the data from my phone. I was wrong. So all in all I'm able to stream about half of my movie entertainment applications given my situation. I'm pleased.

Can't keep internet and Lan connected at same time

For those of you who have helped before I apologize for the repetition but I'm it for IT person at my husband's office. Guy we used has gone to NYC. Network is ethernet connected-6 iMac G5's running 10.4 served by G3 running OS9. Also has a 2-3 week old 16 port Linksys switch-not router-which replaced our old Asante hub-needed to boost signal from the server over distance. The original network used manually configured IP addresses starting with 192.100.100.2 for the server and continuing on .3,.4, etc. On October 21st we were set up for DSL service with Verizon-purpose to provide internet access for all users on the network except the server. The DSL modem/router is a Westell 6100. It is connected to the switch, ethernet,and phone jack. We do not use any DSL phone filters because we have a phone system (Merlin) and filters aren't needed. During the DSL installation,it was necessary to change our manual TCP/IP setting to DHCP in order to connect to the internet. This of course gives different IP addresses. It also necessitated giving the switch an IP address which was assigned 192.100.100.1-a number I understand is normally reserved for the router. During installation, after he got internet connection, the workstations lost all connection to our server-data base. He went back in, switched us back to manual TCP/IP and all was working well until last night. While I was doing a port scan in the network utility on one of the work stations, we lost internet connection throughout the network. The DSL modem showed power, ethernet, DSL but no internet. After working with Verizon several times today, we were able to get connected. There was a mismatch of user and password on the router which they tell me was most likely due to a power surge. In order to reset the DSL we direct connected off the Lan using DHCP. I was happy to have the modem up again but advised the very helpful Verizon rep that I had now lost the LAN. He advised, very nicely and correctly,"not my job". I have now tried any number of combinations in the network preference panels with no success. I even made one attempt with internet sharing on one of the computers to make it be a router but succeeded only in knocking it off the LAN and no connection. Right now that means we can only use the LAN even though the DSL modem is connected again. Any ideas anybody.

Have gotten some additional information to add to the mix on this issue. First-apologies to Rick on not getting back to you earlier. We have had internet connectivity problems over the weekend due to high wind-trees down. Also spent all day with software people who were able to come down on Saturday to address glitches so we wouldn't have to go in over Timbuktu. They have no idea how to fix. Situation is still as it was-just a bit more info. It is not that the LAN itself will not work when we are connected to the internet via DHCP. It is our operating software that will not work that way. It states on the PracticeMaker,(modified FileMakerPro) opening page "Must use TCP/IP, cannot use DHCP. Each computer must have its own IP address". So it is not actually the LAN going down though the net result is the same. The fellow who set it up got back to me. He thought the only thing he did differently was to manually enter 2 DNS addresses but I already had those in. I have further determined that the Westell 6100 modem is a modem+router. Saw a post on the G5 forum where Verizon techs advised Mac user to set it up via PPPoE. Looked at that option but don't know what to do with it. By the way, same user got 4 different set up configs from 4 different Verizon techs. I have to think that I would need to change the modem/router configuration which is currently set up "DHCP with private LAN".

Why can't I play my videos on iPhone 6 without requiring an Internet connection?!?! This is absolutely FKSKFIEDJ absurd and apple better come up with a solution.

Seriously, how much of a stupid iinconvenience is this? Why should I require a connection to play the videos I've recorded on my phone?

Hi
Could I ask a couple of questions please?
It would almost seem from your description that the video is not completely or correctly recorded or that it is some how corrupted. From your description it appears that with the internet connection on - you are able to stream but not play it otherwise
1. Is this just one affected video or is it happening with other videos as well?
2. Any chance you can delete and re record the video and see if that solves the problem?

Using Remote app on iPhone 5 without a separate internet connection and wifi router.

Hi,
I need to be able to control iTunes within my MacBook Pro remotely. Using my mobile broadband service and wireless router I've been able to get the Remote app to allow my iPhone 5 to do the job nicely through Home Share. So I went and bought a separate WiFi router and tried to do the same thing. Of course when it didn't work, I discovered that I need an internet connection and WiFi network to make the Home Sharing work.
So I got to thinking, can I create a WiFi hotspot using the Personal HotSpot functionality of my iPhone, set up Home Sharing on phone and MacBookPro and then use the Remote app. Ideally this would work as it seems all the key components are in place.
The MacBook Pro accepts the iPhone hotspot as a means of Home Sharing, however the iPhone won't use the personal hotspot to Home Share and I can't connect to the iPhone personal hotspot on the iPhone itself.
Does anyone know how to make this work for me? It would be such as neat solution if I can get it to work - not to mention the potential to save me about $200 (I need to set this model up for two people).
Cheers
Kathy

I'm a pro photographer and I need to transfer photos from my camera, edit them, copy photos to my iphone and send via 4G network to an editor.

Can't share internet connection via firewire - missing something obvious?

I have my G4 933 connected via ethernet to a Dynalink RTA100+ DSL modem/router. Would like to share this internet connection with anther G4 450 (time warp here) over firewire until I sort a proper router... both are running on 10.4.11
I connected the computers with firewire cable and configured the firewire ports Manually (as I couldn't get DHCP to populate them in the right range).
Tried initially turning on Personal File and Web Sharing on each, but couldn't get a Ping to go through g4 to g4, even though I can see each firewire port's ip in each other's routing table info...
Also turned on Internet Sharing over Firewire port from Ethernet but G4 450 can't connect.
Read somewhere that you can't do both, so have reverted to just trying to get the Internet Sharing working (as that's all the kids really want on their computer!)
Dug around in the modem for ages tried it in Bridge mode, couldn't connect either computer to internet then so have gone back to normal PPP settings with DHCP.

Hi Rose,
You can't Manually set the IPs for Internet Sharing according to Apple, (I've done it, but not consistently),
You do want the G4/450 to use DHCP, the G4/933 will likely end up handing out an IP to the 450 of 192.168.2.4, (one higher in the 3rd & 4th place, and wont work if the 933 started out as x.x.2.x), but it must do it itself to keep track of NAT within itself.
True you can't do both File & Internet Sharing at once.
On the G4/933, en0/Ethernet needs to be dragged to the top of Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations. On the G4/450, fw0/Firewire needs to be dragged to the top of Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations.
Internet Sharing needs to be OFF on the 450 & rebooted if it was ON.
As far as the Setting not sticking, there may be more, but Trash these two files on the 933 then Reboot...

/Library/Preferences/com.apple.sharing.firewall.plist

IPhone using Mac Mini's internet connection sharing, stops loading webpages

Bought an iPhone 1 hour ago.
I'm sharing my internet connection to my iBook and MacBook from my Mac Mini. Works fine.
Can't connect using the iPhone.
It will detect the network, it will show full network reception, but it will only load webpages for the first 10 seconds and then stops.
Tried removing the password, fixing a channel, resetting the iPhone (full reset), the "forget this network" trick, nothing worked.
It will load web pages in the first 10 seconds of detecting my open network. Its highly frustrating...
Any suggestions? Maybe using the restore option from iTunes instead of the reset ones from iPhone? Will this try to reinstall the latest firmware?

Very similar case here -- I bought an iPhone just yesterday, set it up with internet sharing on my Mac Mini, and am getting random (but frequent) failures connecting via wifi. Small web pages can get through sometimes, large (or complex) web pages almost always hang during loading, e-mail pretty much never works.
However, using "edge" works just fine.
I've nosed around these forums a bit (and googled for this problem a bit), and it does seem like there are a number of users having this sort of trouble. However, some folks with this problem have noted that they can run wifi just fine at other hotspots. (I haven't taken my phone to another hotspot yet, maybe I'll try tomorrow...) And I've shared my internet connection to other PCs from my Mini successfully before. So, in my opinion, this problem does not appear to be an actual hardware fault in either the iPhone or the Mac Mini, but rather some disagreement between the settings chosen on both sides; my guess is that this'll take a driver modification in either or both to fix, rather than a replacement of either the iPhone or the Mini.
Just my current guess, though.
