Iphone connection with airport interrupted

Hello everyone,
I have a little problem with my iPhone 4 and AirPlay. I have an airport express that works perfectly fine with all of my devices except with my iphone 4. With the iPhone it constantly gets interrupted and even disconnected. I've been searching online for answers but all I get is people saying that their iPhone 4 worked great and the problems their having (similar to mine) are using 4S.
I'm pretty disappointed with the bad quality of things we're getting from apple in the past few years.  :-/

Hi Andrew!
I hope your tips help Chuckie, but I'm afraid I'm still seeing the problem on my iPhone. (Assuming that Chuckie is seeing the same problem that I am...) I turned on interference robustness, but that didn't help. Then again, I've got my iPhone sitting about three inches from my Mini, so I figured it should have a strong enough signal... I've tried turning off the various security features before, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. I have tried three or four different channels, but not all of them; I guess I could start going through the whole set one by one.
However, in the discussion thread I linked to earlier, several of us with this problem have been fiddling around, and have determined that this problem seems to exist with the WiFi hardware in a particular subset of Apple products, apparently mostly being the early Intel-based machines. (G4 machines so far seem to work, as do current Intel machines.) Moreover, the glitch is particularly sensitive to the latency with which transactions occur; web pages hosted on the Mac providing the internet connection only rarely hit the glitch, where the exact same page hosted on a distant site hit the glitch far more often. Due to this, I don't believe this problem is one of general internet settings; I'm thinking we're seeing a situation where the iPhone and the Mac are falling out of synchronization somewhere while waiting for packets to be transferred between each other.
BTW, are you suggesting that we should not use "internet sharing" with WiFi on a Mac? I've been able to use it successfully in the past on my Mini with other computers... I can understand that a Mac might have less range than a dedicated wireless router, but I didn't expect that it would actually not be able to be used as a router.
Thanks,
--John

  • My two iMacs frequently go offline when I have our iPad and two iPhones-5 connected with Airport Express (2nd edition). If I disable WiFi on my three "i" devices no problem. Any thoughts on this?

    .....doesn't that seems to suggest the modem?
    That is what I have suggested....twice now. From posts above:
    My opinion would be that it is likely not the ISP, unless you have complete loss of Internet service for all devices at the same time......it is the Comtrend device....
    and
    I believe that the problem lies with the modem, and not the ISP signal.
    Your ISP will likely have a different opinion, though. Please keep us posted on your progress.

  • Can I create a home network withous dsl connection with airport express

    can I create a home network without dsl connection with airport express?
    So it means I can't connect to my HP Airprint/Wireless printer without exretnal connection through ISP?? Just need to print from my Mac and iphone. I have Vodafone Prepaid connection, which is directly connected to my Mac. Does that make an internal network possible?

    You have to set up the Air Port with an internet connection to set up a network. Do you have a modem? If yes you can set up the network.

  • Lost wifi connection with Airport Extreme.

    Lost wifi connection with Airport Extreme.   When I connect my modem directly to the computer I can access the internet, however as of this morning I am no longer able to access the internet via wifi on my airport extreme.  I have been using  airport extreme for 6 months or more and everything has been working fine.
    When I diconnect my  airport extreme and reconnect it I get wifi for 1-2 minutes working fine, but then i lose internet connection.  According to airport Utility everything is setup and connected and working ok, but I still am not able to access any webpages over wifi. 

    I have the same issue, I'm getting droppeds from wireless constantly

  • IPad and iPhone 4 and new 5s drop connection with airport express. This just started recently after working fine for a year. PC does not drop. Wifi signal fine. Help?

    Streaming music with airport express and Apple TV to 2 different systems. No problem with Apple TV. iPad and iPhone 4 and new 5s keep dropping their connection to airport express.

    What does any of this have to do with the Apple TV?

  • TS1398 My iPod connects with Wi-Fi at home but is no longer connecting with airport or hotel routers. This model is no longer supported by Apple. Is there any way I can boost its ability to pick up Wi-Fi in public places?

    My iPod Touch connects with Wi-Fi at home but is no longer connecting with Wi-Fi at airports or hotels. Is there anything I can do?

    First what you want to do is connect to your wireless connection .
    Click On Settings>WiFi>Turn WiFi ON. Make sure you are connecting to YOUR wireless connection , check what is the name of your ssid(wireless name) on your router.
    Before you connect to your wireless connection check if your connection is secured or not. To do that follow, the steps above once you found your wireless.
    If there is a LOCK image that means your connection is secured, from this point you want to get that WEP or WAP key from your wireless router.
    Connecting to your wireless network with Ipod Touch
    If asked for password enter your WEP or WAP key and click on Join button, wait few moments and then see if you are connected. Test with your safari browser.
    Can't connect to wireless network?
    Few things you can check:
    Did you get an IP address from your wireless router?
    Unplug the power from your router shut down your ipod touch. Plug back in your router first, then wait for 1 minute and then turn on your Ipod Touch.
    with the router been in a cafe airport etc you need to ask them to reset there router
    You are not getting an IP at all?
    Are you sure you are connected to your wireless router?
    Does your router have MAC address filtering On?
    Did you enter correct Password (WEP-WAP key)?
    Few more things to check...
    Does your homepage work?
    Did you try yahoo.com google.com ebay.com etc?
    How about your YouTube do you get any videos?

  • Cant connect with airport because of password?

    HELP!!!
    im very new to this.
    i am in spain. just got a router and can connect with ethernet, but not with wi fi. my roommate hooked right in with his pc and the 13 digit password.
    ive read the help pages adn tried the " " and $ tricks but no good.
    wierd too, because i get the signal with it's name, but cant get in: says incorrect password.
    to top it off, i went into my airport admin and assistant to set up the base station, and it doesnt find it.
    help!

    thanks.
    i think i went through that page pretty thoroughly. no help. like i say, i tried those translation tricks and no dice.
    any other thoughts? isnt it kind of wierd that i receive the signal, but then my airport administrator wont recognize the base station?
    thanks again

  • Bad Connection with Airport & PC Laptop

    I'm having a problem here. I have an old iMac. I bought it in 2000. It's one of the Special Edition Graphite models. I just got an (original) Airport card for it to try to make a wireless network so that I could connect using my work laptop (IBM Thinkpad). Since it's my work computer, I don't want to try to mess with settings on that computer (and I'm not sure I could anyway).
    I really don't have much knowledge about this, so I'm just going to explain what I've done and what happened, and hopefully someone who knows more about this can figure out where I've gone wrong.
    I installed the card, and then I have the Airport Icon up in the upper right corner next to the time. So I go in there and select Create Network. I name it and leave the channel on Automatic (11). Then I hit Show Options and check the box for Enable Encryption. I selected 128-bit and entered a 13 digit password made up of letters and numbers. (I also tried 40-bit with a 5 letter password.) Then I hit Ok.
    Going into Internet Connect, it shows the network with a good signal level. When I look at Wireless networks on my PC, it lists it, although the icon next to it is two computers (for computer-to-computer) rather than an antenna-like icon that the other networks showing up have. I connect to it and it says that I have excellent signal strength. But when I try to go to a web page, I get nothing. hen I look at the status for the connection in the PC, it shows a lot of Packets sent, but none received. And Address Type is Automatic Private Address, while IP Address is 169.XXX.X.XXX. Subnet Mask is 255.255.0.0. There is nothing for Default Gateway, DNS Server, or WINS Server.
    Can someone help me figure out how to fix this and connect properly? I would really appreciate it! If you need any more information, just ask.
    Thanks!

    That is the solution.
    It is not possible for a Windows PC to connect to an encrypted software base station (a Mac sharing its internet connection via Airport).

  • Latest 7.6.1 firmware broke all Airport Express connections with Airport Extreme

    Installed the latest Airport Utility (6.0) last night.  Once installed I ran Airport Utility and saw my 4 Airport Express N's, one Time Capsule, and Airport Extreme needed a firmware update to version 7.6.1.  Installed to all of them, and initially everything came back up-and-running.  All this equipment remains on 24-hours a day, and the four Airport Express are wirelessly joined to the Airport Extreme's wireless network.
    This morning the wireless link between the Airport Extreme and all four Airport Express's was broken (flashing amber light on all of them).  Power resets did nothing.  The Time Capsule link was still good; however, the Time Capsule is connected to the Airport Extreme via ethernet.  Visited this forum and saw other folks were having similar problems.
    I saw no way of downgrading the Airport Extreme firmware with Airport Utility 6.0, so I downloaded Airport Utility 5.6.  I launched it, and was able to downgrade the Airport Extreme firmware back to version 7.6.  After hard resetting the four Airport Express units, I was able to downgrade their firmware also back to 7.6.  Everything immediately came back online.
    Am going to sit this firmware update out until more shelf life exists with it.  I also agree the Airport Utility 6.0 seem to be a less capable step backward.  Why someone thought we need a simpler interface for a "Utility" that resides in the "Utility Folder" is mystifying. 

    First I've updated my Extreme to 7.6.1, then, the Express.
    Everything work fine untill I update the Airport Utility to the new version and rebooted my extreme, then my Express stop working (An can't be detected anymore by the Airport Utility, orange light)
    So I took my laptop, plug a network cable between it and my Express (Now I was seeing it in the Airport Utility) and reconfire the wireless network connection between them.
    Hope this Help!

  • Can't Connection With Airport (card)

    My G5 can see my network, which uses WPA2 Personal.
    I can connect with my laptop (a MacBook), but with my tower does not.
    It can see the network, but I get "Connection timeout" as part of the message. Password is correct, which I know because of the checkbox, "Show password".
    I'm using a D-Link Router (DIR-655), and can mess with all kinds of settings if need be. But I suspect it's my Airport card, which needs help.
    Any clues would be much appreciated.

    The router does use 802.11g, along with 802.11n; it can send a mixture. I was shocked at how slow the G5 does wireless web stuff.
    FWIW, the way around the timeout problem seemed to be to reboot the router through a browser-based control panel I was able to pull up on my MacBook.
    Thanks for responding.

  • PC laptop continuously loses connectivity with airport extreme

    I use an airport extreme at home and an airport expresses to extend my network. I get perfect connectivity with my macbook pro but with my older Gateway laptop that uses XP, the connection comes and goes making it frustrating to be online with the PC. why is this happening on the PC and not the MacBook and what can I do to correct the problem?
    Airport uses version 7.4.2, WPA/WPA2 Personal, 802.11n b/g compatible.

    Recently had a similar problem connecting a friend's PC to my network and thought I would post my fix in order to hopefully help others.
    I noticed that everything worked fine when I disabled wireless security, so my problem was a security issue.
    I re-enabled security on my router and copied down the first actual HEX key (key 1) instead of just using the password. Then, on the laptop with a Netgear wireless card, instead of selecting to type a password, I opted to use a network key and pasted the actual key, and it worked like a charm.
    Maybe it has something to do with aftermarket network cards, but it solved the "network did not assign a network address" problem.
    Hope I've helped and not given a useless answer.
