Iphone wifi connection - crashes my router

i'm gonna say that 99% chance it is a router setting for my home network but my issue is - when my iphone accesses my wireless router it works for about 45 sec to a minute then the routers internet light goes from green to yellow - killing the internet connection to my whole home network, other wireless items work fine until this happens including a laptop and a playstation 3. when the iphone kills my connection i have to go into the phone set up and turn off the wifi. then my router will come back to normal and all internet activity resumes. i can connect wifi on several other wifi systems like where i work and a few places that i eat lunch at. it only kills my home system - i'm hoping someone else has run into this and has a fix. i am using a Linksys WRV54G router and ATT DSL. phone is iphone 3gs with software version 3.1.3...
Thanks Bruce..

I have a similar problem:
I have a Linksys Wireless-G VPN router (WRV54G firmware ver. 2.39.2e)
It’s been working fine with my 3 wireless laptop PCs for years.
I’ve recently purchased an Apple 3GS iPhone.
I’ve been successfully able to configure my iPhone wirelessly to my router, but whenever I attempt to watch videos on my
iPhone (YouTube, News Apps, etc.) It drops my wireless connection to my iPhone and all my wireless PCs. I have to go and turn the router off and on again.
Is this a Linksys issue or iPhone issue? Any suggestions on how to resolve this?

WiFi connection crashed when play mp4 from iTunes to Apple TV

Hi,
My macbook pro is 2011 early with Yosemite and the apple tv is 3
both of their updates are up to date.
When I played a mp4 from itunes to apple tv, the performance was poor and always disconnected easily and the WiFi connection crashed, I need to restart my access point to recover the connection.
I used my iPhone 6 to play the mp4 in my mac, also the same situation.
but It worked well with Mavericks.
Does anyone have the same issue?

iTunes Match is available now. You can sign up from your computer and then, on your Apple TV, you can turn iTunes Match on to listen to your iCloud library from the Apple TV.

How can i fix my wifi connection with my router

how can i fix my wifi connection with my router?

I think I'm having a similar problem, my wifi disconnects when a bluetooth device is connected to the MBA.
I have a MacBook Air (13-inch, Mid 2012) with WiFi and Apple Trackpad. I'm unable to use the trackpad(bluetooth) and wifi at the same time. If I turn off the trackpad then the wifi works fine and if I shutoff the wifi then the trackpad works fine. This configuration was working fine prior to upgrading to Yosemite.
I experienced the same problem at home and at the office.
Additional test:
I turned off the bluetooth trackpad and connected my bluetooth headphones to the MBA. The wifi disconnected as soon as I paired the headphones with the MBA.
I have had no problems with the MBA's keyboard or integrated trackpad.

Iphone wifi connection problem

I just bought an Iphone and when it attempts a wifi connection It asks for a password to my network which I have totally forgotten. When I tried to access the setup site (192.168.1.1) a dialog box popped up with the following message "A username and password are being requested by http://192.168.1.1. The site says: "WRT54GS". I couldn't get to the setup screen because as I said I have forgotten the password. What must I do? My router is WRT54GS and I am running Vista Enterprise. Thanks, Wrogers814

If you forgot the password ....use admin as password without any username ... if that only not works .... you need to reset the router by holding the button for few seconds ....
Make sure that power light should be solid .....

Wifi connection with netgear router DG824M - one solution

I have had some problems with connecting iphone via wifi with my home router
Netgear DG824M
I'm still having a problem with the encryption issue but have at least found one solution to another security issue and thought it might help others so i am posting:-
If you have mac address filtering turned on (netgear describes this as only "trusted PC's" can connect) , you may find that you get an IP Address clash when you try to connect your iphone (or some other apple equipment)
I found that this resolved if i selected an "reserved IP address" for the iphone - in my casei chose 192.168.0.10 (since the router allows up to .51)
(the phone otherwise took 192.168.0.3 which clashed with another device)
This was not an issue when "trusted pc's" feature was turned off on the router

Ok guys. This is the simple way i used to connect my iPhone to my Netgear router.
1. In your iPhone, go to Settings>General>About. Then, scroll down to "Wi-Fi Address". This is your MAC address. This you will need in order to authorize your phone in your Netgear page (which usually looks something like XXX.XXX.X.X (where "X" are numbers)).
2. Log in to you Netgear page.
3. On the blue left panel of the screen, click on "Wireless Settings". A new page comes up.
4. Click on "Setup Access List".
5. Click on "Add" to enter the require info needed for your phone to gain access to your network.
6. On "Device Name" I entered "iPhone". This name is irrelevant for i named my iPhone differently and using just "iPhone" worked. So enter whatever name you wish, but keep it simple.
7. Now, on "Mac Address" (the single most important info here) enter the number you obtained in Step 1. Make sure you enter it with the colons (:).
8. Add and apply, and wait for the blue bar at the top of the screen to do its thing. It will take only a few seconds to update the network.
That's all! Connect and enjoy!
I hope this was helpful. Let me know if it worked at [email protected]

!TRIED EVERYTHING! PLEASE HELP! Lenovo thinkpad twist super slow WIFI connect to home router

I love my twist i just wish my wifi would work at home!
It connects and works fine at public places
At home it takes forever to connect maybe have to try 5 times taking 5-7minutes and it will disconnect sometimes if computer goes black
I have : lenovo thinkpad twist s230u with windows 8
I have a : Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter
I have a : Broadcom driver 6.30.59.26
Troubleshooting that i have already tried: adjusting wifi power settings, downloading lenovo driver
PLEASE HELP

I would try plugging the laptop directly into your cable modem, thus by-passing the router, and check your connection speed. Next, connect the router to the cable modem and plug the laptop directly into the router by cable. Compare your connection speeds. If both work fine by cable, then I think your wifi on the home router isn't broadcasting/working. You say the wifi connects at work/public, which leads me to believe it is not your laptop wifi card. What is your wifi signal strength from your home network? work? public?

IPhone WiFi connection Issue

After installing the 7.6.1 upgrade to my Air Port base station Time Capsule, my iPhone 4s and Lexmark printer can no longer connect via wifi. However my iPad1, MacBook Pro and Airport Express are all working fine. My iPhone will connect perfectly to WiFI at work so this excludes a problem with the phone. However at home it sees the network but after entering the password to join it attempts to connect and comes back with the following error. Ideas for resolving this dilemma are appreciated.

Located the solution on a post from December 19th 2011. It appears to be a comon problem with the Base station and iPhones. Changing my Base Station to Channel 3 resolved the problem. No additional issues created with other devices that were already connected. (Lexmark printer, iPad, laptop are all working on the wifi network) Harmony has returned to the universe...

Yoga 10 wifi connection stability / loose router contact

I use my yoga 10 on several locations where the different routers are set to the same network id/password. The issue applies to all locations (ie different routers of different make).
The yoga 10 connects well to wifi when turned on (blue wifi notification), but looses connection within a minute or so (wifi notification dark gray).
The (not so) quick workaround is to
- open settings (scroll finger from notification area) - here WLAN is green
- Turn WLAN off (gray)
- Turn WLAN on (green again)
- Close quick settings
- Wait for WiFi notofication to turn white, then blue
and browse for about a minute again - then repeat.
What makes the Yoga 10 to loose connection ?
Why does it not reconnect automatically ?
How to fix ?
PS WiFi connection is 3-4 bars, mostly 4 (=100%)

Same problem here on yoga 8, wireless routers with same SSID and password in different locations will suddenly disconnect and appear out of range. Most times I have to forget the ssid, turn off Wlan, reboot the router then switch on wlan and set up the connection again. This is not a minor glitch and does not happen on any of my other android devices, I was hoping the 4.4.2-01-021 build would fix this but no such luck. I really like the yoga 8 design but along with other stupid basic problems I.e.google maps I'm begining to think I've brought a polished turd.

IPhone5s not getting wifi connectivity using iBaton router-BSNL broad band

I have been using my IPhone5s over BSNL Wifi router and due to some erro I have replaced the same with iBaton router. After replacing it I am not able to connect my Iphone to the wifi. I have used the normal method to search the wifi router and keyed in the wifi password, but the Iphone5s is not getting connected to wifi (its always in search mode). I am able to connect my laptop and Samsung S3 with out any difficulty and can browse the sites. I have tried few methods found over the net to connect the Iphone using static ip, though for few seconds the phone is getting connected to the wifi, it again goes back to the search mode of wifi

Problem iPhone WiFi Connection to Airport Express with static IP addresses

We have our Airport Express configured on the LAN with a fixed IP. It is not distributing IP addresses, or providing DHCP services; it simply links the WiFi to the LAN.
To connect via WiFi you set a static IP for the wireless device and enter all IP information by hand (IP/Router/Mask/DHCP etc). Laptops can connect fine, and use the network.
The iPhone connects to the wireless network ok (we tried with security on and off), however, it seems to be unable to successfully use the network. Any attempt to browse a web page using a numeric IP address, or regular IP address, fails.
Has anyone successfully used the iPhone on a WiFi network with static IP addresses, and a Wireless access point that also uses a static IP address?

The problem with static IP on iPhone was caused by the IP address being blocked by over-zealous network manager...

IPhones WiFi Connection Suddenly Stopped Working

Woke up this morning and my iPhone is failing to connect to my home WiFi network (Uverse through a 2WIRE 3800HGV-B router, WPA Personal security). My Macbook and my wife's iPhone are still connecting without any problems, so I know the network is good. I've tried reentering the password; rebooting the iPhone; and turning WiFi off, forgetting the network and building the connection anew, but no dice. I also made sure the iPhone's software was up to date (it was). Haven't had a chance to try any other WiFi networks yet.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Nate

Tried #1; didn't work. As for #2, since I synced after this began, wouldn't that just restore that last backup and thus be ineffective? And for #3, what's the best way to do so and then restore everything I want to keep (accounts, pics, etc)? (I don't want to try any of these more drastic measures before having a chance to see if the iPhone connects to other known networks, hopefully Monday or Tuesday I'll be near some).
As for the router/MAC thing, this iPhone has worked on this network without problem for five months, since I first set it up. There have been no changes to any part of the configuration.
Thanks,
Nate

IPhone wifi connection loss

Hello All,
My iPhone 4 seems to have picked up some peculiar problem. My phone seems to be connected to the home wifi network (as the wifi icon appears on the screen at all times). However, the internet doesn't seem to work or I cannot connect to my mails or iTunes, etc (My wifi seems to be working fine, as I can see my laptop and tablet working fine while I have this problem on iPhone). The problem is however resolved once I switch off my "wifi" under the Settings tab and switch it back on. This generally happens with a frequency of once in an hour and always needs restarting the wifi when this happens There weren't any changes done to the wifi router anytime recently. Any ideas please? Thanks a ton.
Rgds,
NK.

Any suggestions out there??

Slow WiFi Connection With New Router TP-Link W8960N

Hi Apple Support,
A few weeks ago I've purchased a TP-Link TD-W8960N wireless modem router so that I can share my WiFi internet with the following devices:
~ iMac running Snow Leopard OSX Version 10.6.7
~ iPhone
~ iPad
~ Mini-PC / Home Theatre PC (Running Windows 7)
At first my iMac wouldn't connect to the WiFi, but after changing it to Channel 11. My iMac successfully joined the WiFi Network.
But the past week my iPhone & iPad whenever I browse the internet it would respond very quickly.
But my iMac and Windows PC, some websites they would respond quick and several other websites it would not respond at all and takes such a long time to bring up the website.
I'm on a ADSL2 broadband connection.
Mac OSX version 10.6.7...
I tried also updating the router firmware...
My Current WiFi settings are:
Channel: 11
Mode: 11bgn (and I've also tried 11b, 11bg, and 11n only)
Bandwidth: 20Mhz (the other option is 40Mhz)
Fragmentation Threshold: 2346
RTS Threshold: 2347
DTIM Interval: 1
Beacon Interval: 100
Transmit Power: 100%
Wi-Fi Multimedia: Disabled
Any ideas would be greatly apprecatied...

If you have one computer running on G they will all run on G. All ROUTERS are backward compatible, in otherwords if you have a group of computers and all of them are N compatible and one or two are G They will all work but the N computers will run at N and those that are G will run at G speed not N.
It can get confusing but really it is simple. The newest is 802.11 AC and ic used with the newest Mac Computers made available in November 2013. So if you have the newest Airport Extreme that is 802.11ac and the newest computers that are AC compliant your speed will be 5 times faster than anything on the market right now.

IPhone WiFi Connection problem solved (ios v 6.1.2)

I recently spent time going through a verry irritating problem with my iphone... I installed a new router at home and initially all was well... my LAN connection worked... my wireless connection was strong and it took no time to get my AppleTV, iPad and my sons iPad running on the wireless network.... Then I tried to get my iPhone (4) to log on to the network.... it appeared to find the network... accepted the password.... and nothing.... I tried:
Turning Wi-Fi off then on again
Restarted the router
Reset network settings on the iphone
Forgetting the network & inputting the password again
Turned off the iphone and restarted it
Restored the iPhone
restarted the router, again...
Eventually I decided to look at how the router was setup... so, in a browser I entered the router address: eg. 192.168.#.###. Then I went and did a reset on the router... and Voila ! the iPhone as well as all of the other devices now find and work with the Wi-Fi network...
Hope this helps a few people and saves some time...
Regards
Mike
