Ipod Facetime keeps disconnecting my wifi

I installed Facetime on my iPod touch in May, and used it with my brother in Maine for a week with no problems, on someone else's router.
Now, I'm using it at home with an Airport Extreme, calling the same brother, and every minute or two, Facetime freezes and then disconnects the wifi.  I have to reselect the wireless network, reconnect Facetime, and we talk for another minute or two until it happens again.  The airport extreme signal is strong, and I can be right next to the router and it still happens.  When I'm not using Facetime, my connection is fine.  I can stream music and video, no problem.
This is really annoying.  The disconnection is only on my end, not on my brother's Mac.
Any solutions to this?

I am having the same exact issue with my iPod too, I used to be able to chat fine with the 5.0.0 and lower version but then the new update 5.0.1 came out and I updated it, since that my FaceTime changed and cannot use for like 2-3 mins without my wifi going off on me. My friend can use it on her Mac fine, but I use on my iPod and it does this all the time, also at school it works fine just does this at home. Any solutions? Thanks.

  • Messages and FaceTime keep disconnecting from my MacBook Pro.

    iMessage and FaceTime keep disconnecting from my MacBook Pro. I’ve never turned either of them off on my computer, but every time I turn them back on, they work for about a week, and then I start getting messages and phone calls on my iPhone and iPad but not on my MacBook. Is anyone else having this problem?

    I'll ask the hosts to move this post to Yosemite.

  • 2nd Gen. iPod nano keeps disconnecting

    My 2nd Generation iPod Nano keeps disconnecting.  It was working fine until I tried to delete everything, which did not work, so I resorted to clicking "Restore".  The problem is that I am trying to sync podcasts only I keep getting a message:  "The iPod...cannot be synced.  The required file cannot be found".  This is very bizzare because I also realized the iPod Nano itself keeps giving a message also:  "OK to disconnect" and goes into sleep mode.  I am not sure if this is a settings issue...Help!
    Note:  The iPod is charged.

    Ummm.. didn't you read the box or Apple website BEFORE you bought it?
    You've made it through almost 3 large OS updates without complaint so I don't see how Apple wronged you.
    This is your fault for not looking into this beforehand. There were major changes in OSX starting with X.3 that made it so that some software would not be compatible with the operating systems below that version. iTunes is such software.
    * Your nano needs iTunes 7 to sync.
    * iTunes 7 does not work is OS9, OSX.1, or OSX.2
    Just like it won't work in Windows 98 or ME
    An operating system made FOUR and a HALF YEARS ago can not be expected to support into perpetuity hardware that did not exist back then.
    Your laptop works just fine, you have no problems upgrading cheaply to X.3 (you don't NEED X.4 despite your claims) and you can cut the pathetic comparisons to how "simple" windows makes it with anything.
    He11, their own Zune isn't even supported by Vista.
    I for one am glad the OS is updated in approximately 12-18 month intervals instead of allowing it to languish on its laurels. The gains in features are a good thing not a curse. If you want them people are free to upgrade at their discretion. No one is forcing you to upgrade the OS and no one made you buy the Nano. The requirements are all over the place and it was your job to look into it before buying it.

  • Why does wifi on my iPod touch keeps disconnecting and reconnecting

    I'm near a good router with three bars of wifi, yet it keeps disconnecting then reconnecting. This may be an iOS 5.1 issue.

    Try:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
    - You could also have an interference problem from another device like micrwave or other device.

  • Iphone 5s keep disconnecting from wifi

    Hi,
    I have been having this problem lately and it's only happening on my iphone with the latest version of ios8. I thought it was my router problem and brought a new router but I still see the same issue. What happens is that it keep dropping the wifi signal and then using cellular data. When I try to search for my wifi sometimes it can find it sometimes it cannot. I have an ipad and apple laptop and windows laptop at home using the same wifi but it does not get this problem. When I try to search for the wifi it cannot find any but there are many wifi network in my neighborhood which shows up on my ipad and laptop fine but not on the iphone. Other times it's able to connect to the wifi but cannot get internet or the signal drop and disconnect while on my ipad and iphone it's working fine. The strange thing is when I'm at work the wifi works fine. So I'm really confused if it's my wifi or my phone having the issue. If it's the wifi having the issue how come it work fine on my ipad and laptop but not my iphone? If it's my phone having problem then how come it works great using wifi at work? Could it be due to some setting on my home wifi that is not working well with the iphone? Please help because I end up almost going over my cellular data for this problem.

    Have you tried resetting the network settings.  It will clear the cache.  To reset network settings, open the Settings app and navigate to Settings > General > Reset and tap on Reset Network Settings.  Give it a try and see if it helps.

  • Skype/Facetime keeps disconnecting my connection?

    Skype/Facetime has always been working without any problems for me until yesterday (Mon, Feb 18 2013). Every time I'm using Skype or Facetime and I'm connected into a call, it works for a good 5 minutes or so and suddenly disconnects me on Skype & puts me offline & when it does that, it also disconnects my connection. I'm using a WIFI connection on my macbook pro but it's a locked one with a security password so only me & my family have access to this connection. I've tried checking if it was my WIFI that was causing this problem but my WIFI seem's to be perfectly fine. I'm able to use Safari or any other applications without any disconnecting problems, but when it comes to Skype/Facetime, 5 minutes into a video call, it ends the call and disconnects my wifi and I have to restart my macbook in order to make the connection work again but if I go back on Skype/Facetime, it disconnects again. I've tried updating my software and the applications and it still has the same problems.. Can anyone help me please?

    Post in the Skype forums and also on the Facetime for Mac community forum area.  There may be Skype users there too.

  • My ENVY 4500 Printer keeps disconnecting (not WiFi)

    My ENVY 4500 Printer keeps disconnecting sporatically. One minute I can print just fine, the next the printer can't be reached. The printer status shows "The printer is not connected."
    This keeps happening from all the devices, not just my iMAC. I tried from my PC Laptop, from my iPad, iPhone. Same story. When it goes off, it goes off for all devices. I tried reinstalling the printer, tried restarting it, unplugging it. Nothing seems to fix it.
    If I print the report right from the printer durring this time, it says everything is connected and no problems found (see image attached).
    Then after a while, like an hour or two later, all of a sudden the printer will spit out all the prints that were sitting in the queue.
    I have contacted the support and they logged into the printer and reset some settings and it started working, then about a week later it did it again. It continues to do this maybe once a week or so.
    I don't know what to do any more. Anybody have any ideas?

  • My ipod nano keeps disconnecting itself when plugged in, WHY?

I've updated it once already and keeps asking me what lanuage to show when it switches back on! Please HELP! XXXX

    hiya!
    okay, since you've got a Toshiba laptop, let's check to see if you can get it to sync properly if the highspeed interfaces are disabled. (let's not try a restore just at the moment.)

  • My Ipod Touch keeps disconnecting when I try to sync w/ transferring purchases

    My cables are all good, I had no issues syncing my Ipad2, but as soon as I went to do my Ipod Touch, it keeps saying that it isn't connecting, then it will connect and start syncing again, then back to being disconnected.  I have already reset it twice, but it still hasn't pulled in most of my music...HELP

    There is probably something wrong with the cable that connects it with your computer. Try getting a new one?
