Laptop ONLY loses connection 9:00 p.m. every night

We started out with one desk top computer connecting through Comcast. We bought a second computer moved the first to the up stairs so we bought the WRT54G Ver. 6 wireless router. Both computers worked fine. My husband recently purchased a laptop which is connecting through the router. (VIsta) Now for some reason EVERY night at 9:00 p.m. on the dot neither the lap top or the upstairs computer will connect to the internet. The downstairs desktop connected directly to Comcast will connect. There are no issues with the direct connect to Comcast at 9:00. The inability to not connect last for a couple hours but it is every night at 9:00. Any ideas? Thanks.

If you go into the settings on the WRT54G it gives you the option of when to allow use of the wireless, you may go and check if it is setup to block access at that time. You can access the settings by typing 192.168.1.1 or whatever your ip address could be into your browser.

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.
Gateway m505b2, windows XP HE 2002 service pak 3

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.

Latop lose connection with router and reconnect every 3 min

hi,
i have bought a wrv200 router of yu company but i have a problem i think it is something with the settings of the router.when am on my latop on the electrical net i have no problem my connection to the router is pefect but when i go on my battery of my notebook i have connection to the router for 3 min then he desconnect en reconnect .so that is a problem if am dowloading something :s
can you help me
thnx,

I don't think there is any issue with the router configration ,because the router can not differentiate between Electrical & Battery power to laptop .
So it has to be some Power settings on wireless card ,may be you can go to wireless card properties & try tweaking some settings in Power Management .

Unluckily sounds like interference or dirty power causing these problems, dirty power solved by Tripp-Lite Surge Protectors.
Interference like these:
From ScottMac:
Have you notice the occurrances in the context of other events in your home, possibly outside your home, and (really happens) something in a neighbor's house?
A neighbor with a new kilowatt linear for his Ham or CB radio?
Maybe a blinky streetlight?
Any electrically-operated workout gear in your home (or neighbor's)?
Aquariums?
Heating Pads?
Light Dimmers?
Touch-control lamps?
Dusk/Dawn sensors on the porch?
Any new CFL bulbs (OK to be green, as long as you don't watch TV or listen to AM radio ... j/k ...)
From SomeJoe7777:
* Power line interference, such as:
* Fluorescent light ballasts
* High-intensity gas discharge lights like mercury vapor
* Grounding problems, such as improper ground at the NID, the pedestal, etc.
* Electrical system grounding problems, such as improper ground on the RG's outlet, the breaker panel, etc.
* HAM radio broadcasts in the HF band
* AM radio transmissions, such as a nearby radio station
Try to isolate any potential source of these problems and see if you can find one that eliminates the interference.

WRT110 loses connection when second laptop connects

One laptop can be connected to the router at a time and have absolutely no problems. The problems occur when one laptop is already connected to the router and another one tries to connect to the router as well. When this happens the router completely loses it's connection to the internet. The only way I have found to fix this is to unplug and restart the router, which I shouldn't have to do every single time we want to use the internet. Sometimes it takes restarting it a couple times for it to work. Does anyone have any idea why this happens or what I can do to fix it?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I had this issue for a long long time. The one thing that I have found to help combat this issue is to make sure that if you are using Vista that IPv6 is off. For some reason when either my roommates desktop, laptop or my laptop has this one it will crash the network. To do this in Vista
1. Click in Control Panel
2. Click View Network status and tasks or Network Connections if you are in classic view
3. Click Manage Network Connections
4. Right click on your Wireless or Hardwire connection however you are connecting to the router and go to Properties
5. Uncheck Internet Protocol Version 6.
6. Hit ok.
7. Reconnect the device to the network.
Initally it may crash the network. Allow the network 5 minutes to attempt to come back up on its own. If this does not work then go ahead and unplug and replug in the router. After the first crash for me it did not happen again.
Hopefully this will help with some of your problems. This is the only thing that I could find to combat the issues that you are describing. With this off we are able to run my laptop, his laptop, his desktop, an xbox360, and a blue-ray player on the network no problem. Good luck and if you have any questions please ask!

Officejet Pro l7580 Constantly loses connection to wireless laptop!!

Hi and thanks for helping.
I have an Offiecejet Pro L7580 and use it on my network, servicing a desktop and a laptop. The desktop is wired to the router while the laptop is wireless. Concerning my desktop, the printer connection is solid. It is 100% dependable. My laptop is a completely different story. I noticed that it would connect just fine and print, scan, etc... But after about 10-15 minutes it tells me that it is disconnected. This has been a continuous problem. Both systems use win.7 Ultimate 64 bit.
I found out that if I go into my D-Link DI-524 wireless router and change my wireless channel from one to another, it automatically reconnects. This means that my printer... or laptop is losing a connection due to channel activity. I have tried multiple channels in case of wireless interference from other devices. It happens all the same. This either sounds like a printer firmware problem that loses connection when the router channel cycles, or my laptops network card (even though I never lose connection to the internet). My laptop uses a buffalo mini usb wifi adapter (thanks to a widely known problem of DV series factory defects).
Please help me find out what the problem is.
Thanks,
Jason

Here are a few things to try:
1. Update the firmware on your router.
2. Set a static IP address for your printer:
- Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
- Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
- Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). Yours is 192.168.0.100 to .199 Enter 192.168.0 220 for the IP address.
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Leave the gateway and DNS blank. Click 'Apply'
Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.

IPad3 loses connection to home network and same happens to laptops.

I purchased the new IPad a week ago. Since then, I often lose connection to home network. Cannot join network unless I power off and on the modem/router. This also hapens every morning. The same is now happening with our wireless laptops. Never had any problems all these years until the iPad was introduced to our network. Our Internet provider confirmed that modem/router protocols were set per advice from Apple Support and they did additional tweaking but problem persists. I am thinking of getting a new modem and router but wonder if it is worth it. Has anyone had similar problems where their other devices are having the same connection issues as the iPad? Thanks.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.

My wifi loses connection to my phone and laptop at the same time every 30 mins or so.

Hey all.
I have a WRT160 V2 router with firmware v2.0.02. I have had the router for years without any problems. A few months ago I have started to see an issue where I lose connection to my internet on my laptop, and wifi on my phone at the same time. I have wifi calling on my phone and it disconnects also at the same time. All of a sudden, everything will stop working, then about 40 seconds later, it all works again. I lost the connection maybe every 30 to 60 mins
Does anyone have an idea what can be causing this issue? Thank you.
It is really annoying because I rely on wifi calling for my primary phone, and I end up getting cut off when talking to people. BTW wifi calling is for all tmobile phones, but also normal wifi to surf the web on my laptop and phone drops too at the same time.

I would suggest that you isolate the problem. You may start the isolation by connecting a computer directly to the router (hard wired connection). Observe the connection for couple of hours. If the connection is stable, problem might be on the wireless settings of the rotuer. If the connection is not stable, do further isolation. Connect the computer directly to your modem. Observe the connection for couple of hours. If the connection is not stable, call your internet service provider. If the connection is stable, problem might be on the router itself. Upgrade the firmware first (firmware available in the website: Ver.2.0.03 Build 9). After the upgrade, reset and reconfigure your router.

WRT610N - Both laptops lose connection to access point intermittently

I've tried searching the forums a little but don't see my exact issue.
I have a WRT610N and two laptops (one Windows7 connected over N 5ghz and the other XP connecting over A 5ghz). From time to time, but at least twice a day, especially when doing a heavy download or streaming media, the laptop connection to the access point will be dropped. I have to disconnect from the wireless network and reconnect.
I verified that I was running the latest firmware. I never had to upgrade, was shipped with 2.00.00.05. THe 5ghz network uses WPA2 security and I tried switching from AES only to TKIP and AES. I also tried changing the key renewal interval. One laptop has a DHCP reservation and the other is allowed to get whatever IP. 20 or 40 Mhtz channel width is set to auto.
If anyone has any ideas of things to try before I go return the thing I would appreciate it.

Connecting 5700 with laptops' only digital AND analog output

Hi everyone!
Although I'm an experienced creative user this is the first time I'm posting. I looked trough the forums but I couldn't find any answer to my question and I hope this is not the "n"th time it is asked...
I have Inspire 5700 Digital speakers and I recently bought a Sony VAIO VGN-FES laptop, with an Intel 945PM Express chipset, which features Intel HD audio. In the sound setup utility of Sigmatel HD audio, there is even an option to enable digital SPDIF output, which I enabled. But when I connect the digital din cable to my laptops only output jack (headphones...) I have no sound at all...
I thought that it may be due to the fact that the jack is not digital only. But I still want to have real digital 5.1 audio. So could anyone tell me how I can do that?
Thanks beforehand!

Addlclove,
in the sony forums the answer I recieved was that the headphone jack was normally 2.1 analog, but I didn't receive a fulfilling answer to my query about the reason to the spdif setting in the setup utility and the chipsets features. That's why I came here The only output I have on the computer is the one for the headpohes. But there is a docking station that I could buy, having an optical out.
And Jason-CL,
You're right, I used to have an Audigy, and I understand that you're saying that I can't do it through the headphone jack, right?

Laptop only connects up close and personal

My router used to live a foot away from my laptop on my desk. I re-arranged my office and the homehub is now about 2 yards away. Laptop keeps dropping connection, saying there is no internet connection, not seeing any connections at all. It behaves the same in other offices or homes. Tried the usual stuff like changing channels or uninstalling/re-installing the network adaptor. May have to give laptop a **bleep** good thrashing. Any more sensible suggestions most gratefully received.
Thanks

HT1365 just installed a new wireless router (cisco linkseys E1200) and our apple laptops connect fine on one floor but lose connectivity when moved to another. Other non apple laptops & Ipad connect with no problem no matter what floor they are on

We just installed a new wireless router to our main PC. It's a Cisco Linkseys E1200. All other wireless devices were able to connect without a problem, including my Ipad. We have 2 Macbook Pro laptops. They both connect just fine when on the same floor of our house as the router, but when we take them upstairs to the 2nd floor of the house, they lose connectivity and it states the wireless password is not the correct password. All other 2nd floor laptops have no problem at all with connectivity no matter where they are in the house. Please help- my husband is on the verge of selling Apple if that cannot be remedied.

This would not be a security issue symptom. I would consider checking for sources of wireless interference HT1365

BTN200 loses connection to laptop if not used for a period of time.

Is there a way to turn off or increase the inactivity time out on this headset... seems it is too short of time... i keep having to power on the devices... it is fully charged as i received the item on Friday, charged it on Sunday and using it today for the first time so battery cannot be dead... please help it is annoying to keep having to hit power button to connect.
Actually, working more with the device what happens is if i move away from my laptop, the connection gets lost and then the power goes off after a while in which case i have to hit the power button for few seconds to reconnect the headphones... so my question is there a way to increase the power off timing?
well i ran some timing and the headphones will lose connection after 7mn if not within range of laptop, then shut down after 5mn... but if headphones is always near the laptop it will never lose connection so it's all good.
Device is working great i just needed to learn how it is working.... Great device!!!!! love it!!!

Then your brother can set it up as a new iPad.
If you do this, you will lose non-iTunes-purchased music, photos, documents, saved progression of games, saved settings on other apps, etc. unless they are backed up somewhere else such as on a computer or through iCloud. After all, you are erasing all content and settings. It won't affect your iCloud stuff such as apps and music you bought through iTunes; you can re-download all that through iTunes. You can also redownload iCloud mail from the iCloud server.

MacBook Pro loses connectivity to netgear router every few weeks. All other wifi devices in my home work (iPad, iPhone, tv,). If I go near the router, I can reconnect, but maybe only for a few hours. So every few weeks I reinstall Netgear software. NG.

Every few weeks I lose connectivity to my Netgear N router. Its becoming more frequent. All other devices in my home work fine (ipad, PC's, iphone, etc..). In order to work for a few more weeks, I reinstall the Netgear software (using Ethernet cable to router) . This is a hassle. I use WPA-2. Every once in a while I can reconnect without reinstalling the software if I go NEAR the router. But this connection doesn't last too long (a few hours).
What do I do?
