Limited downloading, forced to reconnect to wifi

so i have an issue that has just started.  when i connect to my wifi and i begin to browse with google chrome or safari, i'll from page to page whether it be espn.go.com or facebook or what not before my imac stops downloading information.  if i go to netflix and try to watch something, it downloads no more than 30 seconds to a minute's worth of video before the whole browser stops downloading info.  to rectify this problem i have to disconnect from wifi and reconnect.  this works but the issue is reoccuring.  is this an issue with my machine or something wrong with my wifi?  has anyone ever heard of this happening or can point me in a direction to find out whats wrong or a solution?  i bought my imac mid 2011, it's an imac 12,1 with 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5.  please if you guys got anything, i'd really appreciate any information.  

May not be just a Wi-Fi issue ...

Select the configuration on the right.
If any of the buttons on the left are red, click Continue.
That may help to narrow down the connection issue.

  • 3G limits download only up to 20mb per file

    Hi, just want to know whether this applies to all iPad or just mine is having problem
    Does iPad limits download using 3G connection only up to 20 mb (for podcast), and above 20mb must use WIFI connection?
    Another info, my iPad is using the latest iOS 4.21
    Thx

    Think you'll find that this has always been the case on all 3G enabled "i" devices, it's done mainly to preserve the providers' bandwidths as they are already creaking under the strain of all the data hungry smartphones. The only work around is not open for discussion on this forum, but is widely known about

  • I cant download apps without being on wifi, how can i make this not happen?

    i have the droid ultra  cant download apps without being on wifi, help?

    Disable Data Saver.Find the Data Saver (Settings -> Battery & Data Saver) and uncheck "Enable Data Saver". Then return to the Market and restart your downloads.
    The above is to download from the APPS store. Not using WiFi.
    I found this in a web article.
    Good Luck

  • How do I return to iCLoud a playlist of 80 songs that I downloaded from iCloud to my MacBook? I only need the songs downloaded temporarily due to no WiFi. I want to keep the playlist in iCloud; just don't want them downloaded

    How do I return (to iCloud from MacBook Pro) a playlist of 80 songs that I downloaded? I only needed the songs downloaded temporarily due to no WiFi. I want to keep the playlist in iCloud; just don't want them downloaded. I know how to delete songs, but is there  a way to just "undo" and return songs to iCloud and maintain existing playlist on MacBook?

    Use Flash Media Server to stream the files.......set up a timer and have all three of them play at once....and have a button switch the streams depending upon which stream you want to play.....and wallah......
    you can also capture the stream.time from the video playing and resume from that point on the other videos as well....havent done this theoretically so I dont know how smooth the transistion between streams will be....but it can be done....
    plus u may have to use double buffering techniques to make sure it starts up right away......

  • HT1390 How long can you keep a movie rental, once it's downloaded? Do u need wifi to watch it?

    How long can you keep a movie rental, once it's downloaded? Do u need wifi to watch it?

    As long as it's been fully downloaded then you shouldn't need to be online in order to watch it.
    As to how long you have to watch it, from here :
    You have 30 days from the time of rental to watch your movie, and 24 hours (in the US) or 48 hours (elsewhere) after you've started viewing to finish it. Once the rental period expires, the movie will disappear from your iTunes library.

  • How transfer a download OS X Lion from wife's to my Mac? Also, is this allowed?

    How do I transfer and download OS X Lion from wife's Mac to my Mac? Also, is this allowed ( I believe one or more additional downloads are allowed in house?
    Should I just spend the $30 and have my own OS?
    Thank you,
    Fletcher

    If you and your wife are using the same App Store account, you should be able to re-download the Lion installer on your computer from the App Store.
    No need to buy it again.

  • MacBook Air slow to reconnect with wifi

    We just got a new 13" macbook air and it's very slow reconnecting to wifi when it's opened on and off during the day. Every other mac that we have is instantly or stays connected and we're off to the races when we need to email, etc. Shouldn't the AIR (latest model as of july 2013) work as well or better than all our older macs?

    Hi, Richard. 
    Sometimes a simple power cycle of the router can correct the issue that you are experiencing.  However, the issue could be a little more complex.  Wi-Fi routers need adjustments to settings periodically for optimized performance with the constant progression of wireless device technology.  Below, I have included two articles.  The first article will cover basic Wi-Fi troubleshooting.  The second article covers the recommended settings for current Wi-Fi access points.

  • X220 very slow reconnecting to WiFi when resuming from sleep

    So my X220 with the Intel 6205 card is having issues reconnecting to WiFi when resuming from sleep or hibernation. It takes about a minute for it to do so, though occasionally it will reconnect right away. Maybe 1 out of 20. When doing a cold boot or restart, it connects immediately upon the desktop showing up.
    This was not always the case, in fact when I first got my X220 in June, I have not had this issue.... In fact, I don't know when it started happening, but it was maybe a couple months ago. I just thought it was my old router going bad. Well I got a new router, and it still happens. I have the latest Intel WiFi drivers from Lenovo, and I even tried downgrading to the previous driver from Intel's site. Still the same problem. I tried setting a default profile in access connections, and that does not help. In fact, it behaves the same way if I totally uninstall access connections as well. In fact I tried this on three different brand routers, and I can reproduce it on all of them (Asus, Netgear & TP-Link) so I think this is not a router issue. Other devices in the house reconnect right away with no issues (iPhone 4, PS3, Mac desktop, Dell laptop).
    I currently have BIOS 1.24, but this was happening with 1.21 and 1.23 as well. My X220 originally came with 1.16, and I haven't updated it until 1.21. Unfortunately I don't remember that far back, if the problem started occuring then.
    There was a brief discussion about this in another thread, but it went nowhere so perhaps this will get more attention. At least one other user reported the same issue.
    Here's a clip of exactly what happens. When i press the button or open the lid from sleep, the windows wifi icon will start spinning for a few seconds, then turn into an X. then only about a minute later, does it quickly connect to the wifi and I have full signal. Manually clicking on the icon and selecting the access point does not speed up the process. It will only connect when it wants to, about a minute after resuming from sleep/hibernation.

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Normally when a laptop running windows tries to connect to a network, it may also seek to identify certain components on the network, for example, asking the router "Who are you?". In your case, maybe the config are corrupted because the network address entries are messed up. Queries send out to the network come back with no replies, and the computer waited for the default time till timeout and it gives up.

    I have just downloaded  ios7 to both my wife's and my ipad4s. I can get Airdrop, she can't. Any ideas?

    Hey Gavinchick,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues after updating your iPhone to iOS 7.0.6. If you have not already done so, you may want to restart or reset the device:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, you'll want to restore your device with iTunes in recovery-mode:

    If your device is not recognized in iTunes for Windows while in recovery-mode, see this article (specifically Step 4):
