Keep losing wireless signal

My 9300 keeps losing its wireless signal. I phoned and was told to connect to a different network and then connect back to Vodafone which worked for a couple of days but I keep losing and going to GSM and then have to connect to a different network and back to Vodafone.

I assume you are running OS X 10.5.5. Try these simple maintenance routines:
Repair Permissions - /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.app. Start Disk Utility, select your HD and click on Repair Permissions. When finished, quit Disk Utility and then restart your computer.
Reset PRAM - hold down Option-Command-P-R keys when starting until you hear the startup chime a 2nd time.
Safe Mode Startup - hold down the Shift-key at startup until you see the login screen. When logged-in, then go to System Preferences/Network/AirPort, click on the 'Network Name:' roll-button, select 'Join Other Network...', enter 'Network Name and select the security type you are using, and finally, enter your Password and click 'Join'. Then, click the 'Apply' button and exit System Preferences.
How are you connected to the internet - DSL model > AEBn WAN port? Check your AEBn Internet setup. Open AirPort Utility, select your AEBn, Manual Setup, Internet - is 'Connection Sharing:' set to 'Off (Bridge Mode)' - set to this if not.
Now check System Preferences/Network/AirPort/ - click on 'Advanced', TCP/IP and confirm that 'Configure IPv4:' is set to 'Using DHCP'.
The above two paragraphs assume that your ISP uses a DHCP server to distribute IP addresses (normally the case).
Hope this helps.

WRT300N keeps losing wireless signal

My WRT300N wireless router keeps dropping its signal on my apple laptop and PS3. Its been doing this for months. One day it works fine with no problems and the next day I won't have a signal every other 15 minutes.
Any ideas? Let me know if you need more info.
Thanks

First check the direct connection from your modem, connect a computer straight to the modem and see if you have a stable connection...If you have stable connection from your modem then you need to upgrade your router's firmware...
Download the firmware from here
Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful" After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
Now reset your router :
Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...You should get a stable connection now...

WRT160N keeps losing wireless signal

I'm not sure what it might be - the "wireless" light always stays on but my wireless devices continually get kicked off and then lose their connection for quite some time. even powering off the router and waiting doesnt bring back the connection - my wired devices have no problem staying connected though. Do I have a bad router or what might be causing the disconnect?
Thanks!

how many wireless computers are you using?
if there are more than one wireless computers and
only one is having a problem then you may also need to update
the wireless adapter on your computer.
are all the wireless computers experiencing the same issue?
try to check the firmware version of your router :
first determine the default gateway
         for xp:
                    1. click start > goto Run
                    2. type cmd > click Ok
                    3. type ipconfig
                    4. take note of the default gateway
                        ex. 192.168.1.1
                    5. launch Internet Explorer
                    6. type the Default Gateway on the address bar
                    7. press Enter
                    8. type your router password and leave the username (empty)
                    9. check the firmware on the top right corner of the page.!
     for Vista :
                    1. click start > goto start search
                    2. type cmd > press enter
                    3. type ipconfig
                    4. take note of the IPv4 default gateway
                        ex. 192.168.1.1
                    5. launch Internet Explorer
                    6. type the Default Gateway on the address bar
                    7. press Enter
                    8. type your router password and leave the username (empty)
                    9. check the firmware on the top right corner of the page.!

How can I get my Mountain Lion more stable on the internet? It keeps losing the signal. Lion is solid as a rock on my other Macbook using the same router.

I downloaded Mountain Lion on my Macbook Air, and it works without a hitch except for internet connectivity. It keeps losing the signal. My Macbook using the same connection is solid as a rock and never loses the connection. Is there something I can do? Since my Macbook works weell under exactly the same conditions and if memory serves so did my Macbook Air with Lion before I downloaded Mountain Lion, none of the usual fixes seem to apply.
Applehank

I have the same problem, I think. I dont lose wifi signal, the mba stays connected to the router the whole time. Pings also seem unaffected by this problem. The problem is that web pages seem to load intermittently, in other words, it loads a page in 2 minutes. It loads:
the first 25% in the first 5 seconds
the next 25% in the next 50 seconds
the next 25% in the next 5 seconds
the last 25% in the last 50 seconds
Its quite annoying considering this can be as simple a page as goolge search results or even google.com.
I thought it was my ISP and i even made a big racket about it, switched ISPs and I have the same problem.
With the previous ISP I had a cisco router. This new ISP supplied their own modem/wifi. That doesnt seem to be the problem.
Im thinking its a config issue on my mba. I have the latest updates to ML.
Any ideas?

Nokia 5800 keeps losing wifi signal

When i connect to the internet, ovi store, google maps....anything that requires a connect on my nokia 5800 using my wi-fi it only stays connected for about 30-60 seconds then it says connection lost, it makes using wifi at home just impossible. There is nothing wrong with my internet as i conect to my modem with my ps3, psp and laptop and never ever lose signal. The signal strength on the nokia 5800 is over 80% and am never more then 10 feet away from modem but still constanly loses signal.....please help

I am also having the same problem I have to wireless routers in my house never had any problems before connecting to them but just this past week it my phone keeps losing connection and if I do a refresh it picks them up but once I try to connect. I get the messiah no wlan connections available.
Am thinking of contacting orange and asking for a replacement after all I do pay the £5 a month insurance.

Losing Wireless Signal

For the last few weeks I have been having trouble with my wireless signal. I will lose internet on my Macbook or iPhones even though the signal strength will show that it's there. I have to unplug my Airport Extreme (802.11g) and let it sit for a few seconds before restarting it. It then works okay for a bit. Then it cuts out again. All through this, the airport indicator shows that it's connected and at full strength. Even the network preferences show it being there at full strength. When I try to log back in with my login and password, it can't connect. The only thing that works is unplugging.
Help!

Welcome to the discussions!
Signal strength is only half of the story when you are looking for a good quality connection. Noise is the other half. For example, you could have very strong signal strength, but also have high noise on your network. You would have a poor, intermittent connection as a result.
It's also possible to have just fair signal strength with very low noise. This will yield a much more stable and reliable connection.
So, the "bars" at the top of the screen are there pretty much for show. They usually display a stronger signal than you really have and they tell you nothing about the noise on your network.
To see if this might be the case, I suggest that you download a utility like iStumbler. Be sure to scroll down the page to find the correct version for your operating system.
Once you have it installed open iStumbler to display your network and other nearby networks. If you have a "good" signal, you'll see your network as a green graph. Yellow is marginal, red is very weak. You may be surprised to find that the "full" signal strength that you thought you had is actually quite a bit less than you might have imagined. Check the noise figures as well.
Look for any other wireless networks that may be using the same channel or a close adjacent channel as your wireless. If that's the case, change the channel on your wireless network to a setting that is as far away as possible from other networks. That may give you some "clear airspace" and help your signal.
If you have any cordless phones there, turn them all off for a period to see if your signal strength improves and noise goes down. Even a cordless phone at the neighbors can cause problems, which might explain the intermittent issues that you have there. Or, there may be a new wireless network nearby that's interfering with your network at times. These are hard to isolate, and iStumbler may not display all of the them because it displays "visible" networks. It won't display a "hidden" network if the user has enabled that option on his/her network.

My (Bionic/Charge/Thunderbolt) keeps losing data signal

Am I the only person that is completely fed up with this?
I've had the Bionic since the day it came out, and I've yet to have a reliable non-WiFi data connection. I live in an area with 3g, and work in an area with 4g...so my phone switches back and forth often.
However, like many of you, I lose my cellular data connection several times a day. This is very, very inconvienient for someone who commutes an hour each way from work (and uses Google Maps or Waze to get traffic updates, listens to music via bluetooth) and who uses their Google Voice number for all phone calls/SMS messages. Not to mention all of the other unusable apps when there is no data connection.
The only thing that works (and is by no means permanant) is restarting the device.
My boss has the Charge and has the same issue, and a good friend of mine has the Thunderbolt...same issue.
I have called Verizon a few times Early on I was told they were aware and it was to be fixed in a software release; it was not. Next I was told to try a few things suggested by Motorola (clearing out cache and cookies in browser, swapping sim card), no fix. After swapping the sim card, I called again out of frustration, and they offered to send me a refurbished Bionic to replace mine. When I expressed my displeasure at that arrangement, they offered tp patch me through to Motorola...which ended up being some far away customer service department that offered the option of sending my phone in for diagnostics. Yeah; I want to be without a phone for a few days...that's a great idea.
Am I alone in thinking this is less a manufacturer issue, and more a Verizon issue? Why am I paying for a monthly data plan that is less than reliable? Is this what AT&T customers are used to feeling like?
This is my 4th Android phone (Droid, Droid Incredible, Droid X) and the only one I have had a major problem with. I'm beyond frustrated, and not sure what I should do at this point.

When you rooted did you install a newer version of the radio for the phone? There are always new version rolling out that you can choose from. That was an issue with the Thunderbolts initially, then the new version of the radio came along and data issues were solved for the most part.
If you don't want to go as far as flashing a new version of the radio and or putting a custom ROM on it and just wait for the VZW update this work around should work to keep you from having to restart the phone to get the data connection back.
Menu, settings, Wireless & Networks, then make sure Mobile Network or Mobile Internet (Which ever one your phone has) is checked and turned on.
This is what is most likely causing your phone to drop the data connection and never connect again until a reboot.
Its an issue with the battery saving part of the software, its designed to shut off the data connection when lost and stay off for a certain amount of time before it try's to connect again to keep the battery from being drained.
This happens a lot with my Thunderbolt, and it is annoying, but until we get a major update (Hopefully Ice Cream Sandwich) this work around is better than rebooting each time .

MacBook Pro and iMac keep losing wireless internet connection.

Greetings all, two weeks ago I purchashed a MacBook Pro and iMac and they've worked fine, except for the internet. The wireless randomly goes out, but the airport bars remain. At first I thought it was just pages having trouble loading because of the OS (stupid I know) It's been happening more and more frequently and the only way to solve it is to turn the Airport off and then on which allows the internet to reconnect. My wireless router is connected to an HP an the router is a Dlink 1310 wireless G router. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all,
It seems I am not alone. There is a very strange problem either with my brand new unibody MacBookPro 17" or the Airport Extreme I am using to connect to the Internet via a cable connected router. The router I am using is Billion 7300 and works fine, and I can even connect to the wireless access via the router and all works fine. I am using Airport Extreme to extend the access area in my house and also use a USB drive for storage attached to the AirportExtreme. The funny thing is that the first couple of weeks I had no problems with the MacBookPro going on the Internet via the Airport. At that time I had the wireless part of the Billion modem disabled so as to avoid possible interference. Suddenly, one day about a week or so ago, the MBP would connect first time to the wireless Airport and to the Internet for only about a few seconds and then no update on any of the web pages. I was suspecting first my ADSL, but that was all along OK. The signal strength to the Airport is strong, but just the connection to the Internet is no longer available. Strange thing is I have in the same room a 24" iMac and this is still connected to the Internet via the Airport with no problems. Same settings on both! I tried everything I could think off on the Airport, tweaked, changed, reset and created new connection - but without any luck. It is as if the Airport decided to just block the MBP for whatever reason. I also have the Little Snitch, which I disabled too.
I was hoping that the latest Leopard 10.5.7 would have a fix for such a behaviour, but no change.
I cannot make any conclusion as everything contradicts: if the MBP wireless has a problem, I wouldn't be able to connect to the Billion wireless; if the Airport is at fault I should not be able to connect to it with the iMac. I go to work where other two brands of wireless hot-spots I use (D-Link and Billion 7402) and I have no problems swicthing between the two. It seems only Apple's Airport is a problem for my new MBP.
It must be something in the software of the Airport or MBP ?!?!?
APPLE, PLEASE HELP, THIS IS ANNOYING.
I already spent three days trying to solve a problem that should be 'No Brainer" according to the Apple's design books. But I do have a problem that I did not know about before.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

I have this printer installed over a wireless network. It works great. The only issue I am having is keeping a connection. I have checked to make sure the auto-off feature is not enabled...and it isn't. HP print and scan dr shows it is connected. All other areas is showing it is connected to the network...but the wireless light is still flashing? I have tried changing the wireless ip settings to manual instead of automatic but it hasn't helped at all. when the light starts flashing, the only way I can get it back online is to shut it down the restart it. the last time I shut it down I got an error message on the printer screen - 0X02A6C2ED. I started it back up and it was working fine. I have not had a chance to research this error yet, but will be doing so in a little while.
Does anyone have any ideas what to do to be able to keep a connection? I have tried all the steps listed on the HP support page (unless I overlooked one), but none of them seem to have worked. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi DannyWard
Reset the printer network defaults first. On the printer touch the setup icon, wireless, settings, restore defaults. I would also power reset the router.
I would suggest going through this document for troubleshooting a wireless connection.

Multiple Devices Keep Losing Wireless Connection t...

We have multiple kids and hence multiple devices, daily, different devices are able to connect and others aren't. The only solution is to reset the homehub and they can all then connect, but it is only a matter of time before connectivity is lost. Happens on all device types, phone, TV, printer etc.
Anyone have similar issues and is there a resolution?

What Hub are you using ?
If an HH4 A or an HH5 A it is best to have different SSIDs for 2.4 and 5 GHz signals.

Mac keeps losing wireless network

This has been happening on and off now for a few weeks but has got much worse recently. My mac suddenly doesn't recognise my BT broadband network name. It often takes up to half an hour before it suddenly comes back on again. Any suggestions? I'd be really grateful as I use the internet for work and it's costing me valuable time.

Hi there,
What I'd suggest that you do is download a copy of iStumbler and run it on your Mac, to see if there are any other wireless networks locally, which could be hindering your attempt to connect and change the wireless channel to a different, less congested channel, if necessary.
I hope this info helps.

Macbook keeps losing wireless link to HP printer

Thanks very much.

Keep losing the signal while call is running

Dears,
my problem is in my new phone Z3 Dual, every thing in the phone is good and running properly but i noticed one problem recently.
when i receive calls or starting calls, some time the signal is suddenly lost and call broke and i lose the phone call then it works again.
my sim is nano sim and works just fine.
kindly advise

This is what I would do @samer711
1. contact your carrier/network and ask for any network coverage issues
2. get a brand new NANO SIM card, don't get a regular SIM card and cut it
3. repair the phone with PCC or Bridge
4. DO NOT install any antivirus or taskillers or battery apps, sweepers etc.

Imac keeps losing wireless network connection when awoken from sleep mode

I recently did a archive and install on my Imac and I am still trying to get the kinks out.
Since I did the archive and install, my Imac loses it connection to our wireless router. I assume it isn't renewing its DHCP lease. In order to get a connection again, I have to restart my cable modem and my wireless router.
My network settings are set to join preferred networks by default. My default preferred network is listed and the security parameters have been fulfilled. I am set up to use DHCP in Imac preferences.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
jk

Hi, See if this helps...
Go to System Preferences
Click Network
Highlight AirPort and click Configure...
Choose “By default, join: Preferred networks”
Select your access point.
Remove your access point with the little minus sign. Launch your keychain access in Utilities and delete your access point keychain entry.
Add it in again after a reboot.
