Keeping wireless connection active on logout

Hi
If you want to use AdmitMac on a MacbookAir with only wireless how can you keep the wireless network active when you log out. It seems when you logout the wireless (WPA2 Enterprise) disconnects. And then at the login prompt you cannot use AD credentials since there is no network to connect to AD.
Has anyone found a workaround for this?
Larry

Larry,
We did some testing to be sure this works, and it does. We're currently testing with builds later than the current release. What version of ADmitMac are you using? You can contact me directly if you'd like.

Nokia OVI keeps bluetooth connection active

Hi. I recently switched from PC suite to the new OVI suite. This new application keeps the bluetooth connection to the phone active from the moment that you connect to the phone. With PC suite there was only a connection active during communciation. The result is that OVI is communicating with my phone continuously, thus consuming a lot of battery power constantly. I have switched off all automatic sync options. Does anyone know how to stop this continuous bluetooth connection? Thanks in advance. With kind regards, Ron. Nokia Ovi Suite 2.0.2.42 PC Connectivity Solution 9.45.0.0 Connectivity Cable Driver 7.1.23.0 Nokia Ovi Suite Software Updater 2009.40.0.60128 Maps Service API 3.0.38.0 Nokia mPlatform 2.6.40 Ovi Desktop Sync Engine 1.1.0.77 Operating system: Microsoft Windows XP 32-bit Edition, Service Pack 3 Language: English Detected internet browsers: - Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0.5730.13 Detected Bluetooth stacks: - Microsoft (Version: 5.1.2600, Build: 5512) - IVT BlueSoleil (Version: 2.7.0, Build: 8)

Being a lazy user of Nokia PC Suite (let others go to the Bleeding Edge, don't try and do difficult functions, use it only for basic phone security, ...), I was happily bumbling along, backing up my Contacts, Calendar etc., without a care in the world. Then along comes a 'new and better' version of PC Suite and without much thought I install it and trash the previous version install files. And guess what? The ***bleep*** new version fails to do backup of the Contacts file (just hangs forever). Any bug-fixing or other quick correction for PC Suite now looks unlikely, especially given comments here about Ovi becoming the only Nokia-supported option (even if actually support is patchy or non-existent).
So, looking for pain-free (or at least pain-reduced) alternatives, I investigate Ovi. And one of the first comments I see says that it's a reduced-function form of PC Suite! And PC Suite doesn't work properly anyway!!
And oh look! Ovi may not actually support my phone (6600 Slide) and according to this thread is misuses Bluetooth to the point of draining the phone battery even if no useful activity is in progress. Give me strength!!! Why release ANOTHER pile of , when judging by the LONG list of problems here, there has been no success making its predecessor work properly?

HP 309A goes offline daily, can't keep wireless connection

I have tried chat help, hands on computer tech in my home ($$$$), re-installing multiple times from start to finish, setting IP address to manuel, nothing works....it prints for an hour or a day and then goes offline again and I have to do the whole thing all over again. I'm sick of this....bought the printer in 4/2010 online. I'm past the return date. Any body have a real, permanent solution for getting this printer to work wirelessly? I was very happy with my previous HP all in one printer...it finally wore out. If this isn't solved soon, I'll dump it and NEVER buy another HP product....HP are you listening?????

Sorry to hear you are having trouble. I wish I had a summary of what the others who have tried to help did. But because I don't, a little more information would help.
When you say 'goes offline' do you mean the printer display says offline or the connection to the printer from your computer?
Is the time of the 'going offline' consistent or random - maybe after a specific amount of time?
Do you have another network you could connect the printer to temporarily to see if the problem still happens?
Has the printer always done this or did this start after a few days or weeks?
I'm just trying to determine if this is a printer issues or the environment where the printer resides. If it is the printer you should get it replaced - especially if this issue has been happening since day one.
Thanks,
Foster

How do I keep my Ipad from dropping its wireless connection?

How do I keep my Ipad from dropping its wireless connection?
Most of the time, my iPad does not maintain a connection to the interenet via my wifi router. My PC laptop has continuous connection, so I know it is not the internet connection.
Is there a way to trouble shoot this? Can I purchase a dedicated IP Address for my Ipad? This is beyond aggrevating since internet activity is the main reason I purchased the pad.
Your help is greatly appreciated.

I would suggest that you give Apple Tech Support a call and go over your settings under WI-FI and General Settings as well as your router settings etc.. There are all sorts of things I could tell you to try but this forum is not the best place to go over all the numerous settings that could be the issue. Just call them and they will walk you through the proper trouble shooting steps.

I upgraded my iMac to Lion and now it won't keep a wireless connection. Any suggestions on what I can try?

Upgraded my 27" iMac (4 GB memore/3.2 GHz Intel Core i3) to Lion 10.7 and now it won't keep a connection to my wireless. I've had to shift over to working on my MacBook Pro which is also upgraded to Lion but showing no problems whatsoever.
I bought the iMac this summer, refurbished from Apple. I've also never been able to get it to play video ... might or might not be related to the problem here. (yes, I've updated the silverlight)
Any suggestions on what it might be or what I can try?

Have you used Software Update to update to 10.7.1. That update was suppose to fix some WiFi Issues. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4764

I bought a new MacBook Pro several months ago. I keep losing my wireless connection (my wife, sitting several feet from me has no problem with her iPad2). I find the quickest fix ix to turn Airport off and back on. Very annoying. Suggestions please?

What kind of wireless router are you using? more importantly which protocol are you connecting with? Are you and wife connecting using the 2.4Ghz band? or do you have a dual band router that offers the 5GHZ band? Are you both connecting vie 802.11 a/b/g or n?
The best thing to do is to go into SYSTEM PREFERENCES and select NETWORK, then select AIRPORT and click on the ADVANCED button.
Under the AirPort tab you should delete all the preferred networks and only add back in your network with the proper security settings and passwords.
If you hold down the option key on your keyboard while clicking on the airport icon at the top on your macbook pro. you'll seesome data that will tell you what band and mode you're connecting at, as well as in an indication of signal strength (RSSI) if you write down and post back that information it'll tell us what's going on.

HT4628 After installing the new OS from apple (10.8.2) my macbook pro keeps disconnecting from the internet. I am connecting with an Airport Extreme and while it shows I am connected, every 20-45 seconds its searching for a wireless connection. Any sugg

I guess I posted my question as a title but that is my issue. My airport is connected via wireless yet it keeps searching for a wireless connection, hence I am experiencing bad latency and disconnection issues. Anyone know a solution?

I have the same problem. And in my case it happens when i transfer "large" files over the WiFi. When i send an MP3 filer over Skype i loose connection. When i transfer updates between my iPhone 5 / iPad 3 and iMac with Mountain Lion i loose connection. When i have a video conference i loose connection. You get the idea.
There is usually like 30 people using their own router on the 2.4 GHz band near by. None on the 5 GHz band which i use. But when my WiFi freezes on ML i can only see my own router. And i am also connected to it. But all my neighbors WiFi routers are now invisble to me. My network stalled.
What i do is that i disconnect my WiFi and then reconnect it again. Thank fixes it. But all my transfers and what not has been dropped. And i have to start all over - and the WiFi will stall again.
While my WiFi is frozen on the iMac with ML i have no problem using the same router on the same 5 GHz band with my iPhone 5 or iPad 3.
Downgrading the AirPort Extreme to 7.6.1 from 7.6.3 helped a bit. Now i only loose connection a few times each day.
It is a software error in ML i am sure of. A driver maybe. But i am suspecting that it is either a speed-sync error or an energy saving error. Like the network card turns of in the middle of a file transfer to save enrgy - maybe.
When i stream movies from my iMac to my Apple TV or 3 there is no problem at all. It is so odd.

Satelite C660 keeps losing its wireless connection

Hi
We have bought the above laptop for our son for christmas and it keeps losing its wireless connection, we also have a Satelite L450 which is running fine (not losing internet connection) we have been onto our broadband supplier they have told us that as the wireless connection on our other laptop is fine, it is something to do with the C660, one of the drivers needs an update, unfortuneately I have forgotten the driver name but it is something to do with the modem, Our son is desperate to use his laptop.
Can anyone help?

Had the same problem but with a different Satellite model - the signal was fine on another laptop in the room - the problem was the power management option / power plan - the link below says it all but in short if it is on balanced the default option the default means that it tells the router to go into a power save mode that it might not support.

Macbook keeps dropping wireless connection

Hi
this is my first post so be gentle with me LOL
I have had many issues with BT over the last 8 months, mostly due to the speed I had in my area (was 0.45MB when wired at one point), but I recently started to have an issue with the laptops in the house.
I have 2 teenagers and luckily for them we all have Macbooks as I have given them my old ones when I have upgraded I am using a macbook pro (less than a year old & wireless N) and my eldest boy is using a Macbook (about 6 years old with wireless G) you might see where I'm going here....
the problem is the older macbook keeps losing connection on the wireless, I have called and spoken to the 1st line support guys in India but it's a bit of luck if you can understand them let alone find someone who knows what they are doing. As I work in IT I completely understand and normally ask them to read my notes before advising me especially as I had so many issues last year when I was given a number to get through to the priority care team LOL , so far I have tried the following:
moving the Hub 3 to several locations around the house
reinstalling snow leopard
using a wireless dongle
I live in the middle of nowhere so there are no other houses around which have a hub3 sp none can be affecting me and I've checked this by using programs like inSIDDer.
Finally I thought I'd take it to work to see if I could get the model number of the wireless card and order a new one and guess what it works fine!! So I thought I'd check at a friends and again it works fine for the whole time I'm there.
Brought it home and it won't stay connected GRRRAAA!!!!!!!
I've heard that the hub3 doesn't like having a wireless N & and wireless G laptops on the connecting at the same time is this correct? Has anyone else heard of this?
finnally I do have windows machines in the house and none of them (2 laptops and a desktop which is wired) are having an issue but the Sony TV which is wired directly in to the hub will also drop connection randomly between 8 PM and 10 PM every day so I'm leaning towards the hub being a rubbish router instead of the problem lying with my Macbook

Wrvs4400n keep dropping wireless connection

hi there,
has anyone got problem with wrvs4400n keep dropping the wireless connection? i tried to find out anywhere but not much hints are given how to solve the issue.
i have 1.1.03 firmware installed, and currently running on
b/g/n mixed on channel 9
wpa2 personal mixed security
the rest of the settings on default
i had the router running for about 3 months and most of the time i have to either restart the server to get the wireless working again. normally the wireless works ok until few days when suddenly I just can't access the internet using the wireless.
once i replug my computer using cable, the wireless router suddenly can give me IP address and the wireless return back to normal.
i have tried to use
different channels
changing to G/N, and B/G mode
change key renewal frequency
reduce RTS Threashold
accessing the wireless router from 3 different wireless network card
none of them really works, normally after few days, 1 week top, i suddenly lost wireless connection again. the SSID still there, i can authenticate, somehow the wireless just won't give me IP address
checking the website, it seems like i'm on the latest firmware from linksys and they don't seem updating the firmware anymore, is this product not supported anymore?
anyone knows of the same problem ? or has already solved the issue?

Hey Stewey,
I have a similar problem with my iMac G5. My roommate, who has an HP, bought a Linksys WRT54G when we moved in to our place and it gives me trouble with Airport sometimes. We use G only and WPA Personal. I updated the firmware in February and I swear it got a bit better, but it still goes out sometimes. If I move it just a few inches in any direction, generally it will start working again. Resetting it also helps sometimes. I don't know if its the fact that it doesn't say it's compatible with any Mac on the box, but it's annoying as all ****. My roomie rarely has problems with it (our rooms are the same distance away from the router), but my friend brought his PB over to do some work and he had trouble in my room as well. Is it Linksys, or is it Airport? I have no idea. Our router is out in the living room, next to the TV and Xbox 360, so it might be interference. If possible, try moving the router to higher ground and away from other electronics.
I tried looking up your router online to see if I could find anything else out. Didn't find too much info, but it says that you get free 24 hour tech support. You don't see that too often. If you can't figure it out, give them a call.
Good luck!

Printer keeps dropping wireless connection after working for a while

My computer stops being able to communicate with the printer wirelessly even thought the printer says it is connected to the network and both the printer and computer are on the same network. What happens is I connect the printer to the network and print something from my computer. Then, after a short while, half an hour maybe, when the printer shows it is connected to the network, I try to print but my computer can't find the printer. The message say the printer cannot be found. If I go to the printer, and reconnect with the wireless connection wizard I can print. But after a short time, I won't be able to print again and have to do the wireless connection wizard again. Wireless direct is off. Don't know if that matters.

These settings are for setting up your wireless printer to stay connected to your router, keep wireless devices better connected and makes your router secure and hack proof.
Set a static IP in the printer (click here) outside the DHCP range of the router (check your manual). This is for Linksys routers but can be used for all routers. Verify your DHCP range and change this first if needed. More Wireless Printing help is here (Windows solution 4, static IP).
Verify in the printer that 'Auto Off/Sleep' is disabled. Use the Embedded Web Server (EWS) by going to the printers IP address in your browsers address bar, click Settings Tab/Auto Off. Or use the Printer Assistant, Printer Home Page (EWS). Also check your Printers Properties.
If the printer supports and has IPv6 enabled, turn off IPv6 in the printer.
If needed and you assigned a static IP address, try using 8.8.8.8 for the Preferred DNS server and 8.8.4.4 at the Alternate DNS server.
In the router: (Refer to your router manual for information)
Use a fixed wireless channel like 1, 6 or 11, never 'auto', try channel 1 first then the rest.
Set router to 20Mhz only, or 145Mbps depending on router.
Always use WPA2-AES (Personal) encryption, but you can try ‘mixed’ mode.
Disable WPS and never use it and disable UPnP for the routers security. Nobody can hack your system now and helps with wireless connectivity (if you want to know why, search the web).
If you have a dual band router (2.4Ghz and 5.0Ghz bands), make sure the SSID’s are NOT the same, they must be different for all bands, even for any Guest networks.
SSID broadcast must be enabled.
Save all settings. Power off both, wait 2 mins. Power on router wait 2 mins.
Power on printer and verify it reconnects to router.
Windows 7/8/8.1 Is Network Discovery on or off?
Control Panel/Network and Internet/Network and Sharing Center/Advanced sharing settings.
Under Home or Work (current profile) / Network Discovery.
Select "Turn on network discovery" and save changes.

Video playback pauses/freezes when I move my T500... also keeps dropping wireless connection...

Video playback in Windows Media, Quicktime and in Firefox (youtube, etc.) pauses when I physically move my laptop. I've never had this happen on any other laptop. Any suggestions?
Another annoying problem is that it drops the wireless connection in my home every couple of minutes. This doesn't happen with any of the other 3 laptops I'm running so it's not my ISP or router.
Thanks for any help!

The ThinkPad Active Protection System (APS) will protect the Hard Drive when you move your ThinkPad, and this probably causing the behaviour you are observing. There are options for disabling APS for particular purposes, so you should have a look in the APS options... look in the ThinkVantage folder on your Start menu.
Regarding your WiFi issues, you need to make sure that all the relevant power managment settings for WiFi are set to Maximum Performance (or similar). This has been covered in numerous messages here already. so a few minutes with the serach function should provide you with more details.
Cheers,

WRT320N & IBM T42 laptop keeps dropping wireless connection at key times

I have an IBM T42 laptop whihc keeps dropping the wireless connection at what seems to be the same time windows each day.
I have my cable modem connected to my WRT320N.
My wireless it set up as follows :
Manual configuration
Wireless Band = 2.4Ghz (Think it needs to be this for the T42 wireless).
Network Mode = Mixed
Channel Width = 20Mhz only
Channel = 2
It seems to be that at approx 8pm each night when using the latop downstairs, the wireless connection will drop and then fail to reconnect for a period of time. I reboot the laptop and it will then begin to work again. The wireless connection does seem to keep trying to connect but it cannot maintain the connection to the router.
Any ideas?

Well I've pretty much given up trying to get this router to work so have spoken to the supplier I bought it off who said it's now discontinued by Linksys - all support is through them now. Took it up with them went through all the steps I've done to try and troubleshoot it (helps to be an IBM engineer as I logically follow procedures through).
I've RMA''d the router and hope it's replacement works better. I've just unbricked my old WRT54GS to make do whilst I wait for a replacement - back down to 100mb traffic - I'll miss my gigabit switch for a while!

Since installing Airport Express wireless connection to other devices keeps being dropped

Our home network consists of my MacBook Pro 15", my wife's quite old Compaq notebook, an Apple TV, and recently, an Airport Express.
The router is one that was provided by our ISP, Alice/O2 in Germany. I think it is made by Siemens but its model name is Alice IAD 4421 WLAN (in case anyone in Germany is reading this.)
My MacBook connects to the WiFi broadcast perfectly every time, as did my wife's Windows laptop until recently. Between our two machines there was a total of one single occasion where the signal dropped, and a restart of the router got it back up and runnning.
The Apple TV was set up without any problems at all, the wireless connection dropped out once over the space of 6 weeks.
About 5 days ago, I bought and installed an Airport Express which has so far served the sole function of providing Airplay to 2.0 speakers in the kitchen, so I just selected 'join network' when setting it up in Airport Utility.
Since it was installed, video playing over Airplay to the Apple TV keeps stopping, with the message 'Apple TV is not connected to the internet', the AE itself suffers from dropouts in audio, (the LED has always stayed solid green) and my wifes notebook can only join the network after she has restarted it.
A restart of the router helps for about an hour, but the problems keep recurring.
Does anyone have any idea of any changes I can make to the AE settings, as it seems to be the cause of the dodgy connections to the other devices?

Hello mathias1711. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Let's double-check your AirPort Express Base Station's (AX) settings for streaming iTunes ...
Perform a "factory default" reset of the AX
o (ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108044)
To set up AirTunes on the AX, either connect to the AX's wireless network or temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, use the AirPort Admin Utility to check these settings:
AirPort tab
o Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
o Wireless Mode: Join an Existing Wireless Network (Wireless Client)
o Wireless Network: <select the existing wireless network>
Music tab
o Enable AirTunes on this base station (checked)
o Enable AirTunes over the Ethernet port (optional)
o iTunes Speaker Name: <whatever you wish>
o iTunes Speaker Password (optional)
In iTunes:
iTunes > Preferences... > Advanced > General
o Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes (checked)
