Any Idea what this could be?

Same here with a 3 week brand new iMac 27. My first apple computer. I now have great regret splurging on the mac and windowes office of mac. Know it is not the router since my laptop pcs is fine with the wireless. From the forums can see this has been a probelm for a while now and very dissapointed this has not been fixed by apple yet. Will get rid of my iMac if not fixed in the next week or two.

Ipad 2 keeps dropping my wifi connection

I just got an iPad 2. It keeps dropping my wifi connection. I updated the software to the most recent available: 6.0.1. I've tried to reset my network connections. I rebooted my router. I've restarted my iPad. I am still having the same issue. I can connect to the wireless router with my Samsung Galaxy s3, my wife can also connect without any issues with her Samsung Galaxy S3. My son was able to connect with his Kindle Fire. But, the iPad 2 is the only one having a problem. Any suggestions?

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

My ipad keeps dropping my wifi connection

My ipad mini keeps dropping my wifi connection at home and requires me to enter my password each and every time. This also happens with a new iphone 4S we have as well. We have a total of 4 other iOS devices and this does not happen any of them ever. I have verified across all my devices that they all have the same settings. I have rebooted everything, updated everything (including the routers firmware and even used the restore network settings on the device. All do not prevent the error from happening repeatidly.

You might consider changing the settings on the router or replacing all together

Why do i keep loosing the wifi connection while streaming to vidio- help

Did you ever find a resolutution to your issue? I have a similar issue after installing Mavericks where the Arris modem goes to sleep when my iMac does, even though other devices on the network are actively requesting data. For the time being, as long as the iMac doesn't sleep the network is fine.

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.

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 Ipad keeps dropping its wifi connection. This is a wifi only unit... Please help!

I have a 32 gig wifi only ipad that is 3 months 1 week old...rinning ios 5.0.1... It keeps dropping the wifi signal... even when I am 3 feet from hub... Please help... John

IPad dropping WiFi every few seconds after updating iOs to version 5.x
I have the same problem with my iPad 2. It was working fine when my iOS was v.4.3.3. After updating the iOs to version 5.0.1, I kept dropping my WiFi & Internet signal. I am using WPA2, and my SSID is OFF (does not broadcast).
To solve the problem, I updated iOs to v5.1. Same problem occurred. I tried using the OpenDNS as suggested.. Did not work too. WiFi stays on for 5-10 seconds before saying signal was lost. Tried to log on again - iPad replied that I cannot join the network. Tried soft & hard reset, forgetting network settings, resetting all network Setting, etc - still nothing works.
Finally, out of frustration, I turned ON my router's SSID (broadcasting openly). Guess what? My iPad WiFi is working perfectly without any dropped connection.
Please try this quick solution. It may just fix your problems. I realized that this solution may be effective for some iPad users out there. But there is a chance it may not work with others (I tried almost all suggestions in other forums - ranging from updating the wireless router firmware, using an OpenDNS, doing a soft & hard reset of the iPad, etc. Still, nothing worked for my iPad - except this simple SSID setting). Hopefully, this additional solution might help someone. Good luck :-)

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.

Sudden Disconnect in WiFi connectivity

The WiFi connectivity suddenly goes idle and browsing stops. To resolve this I need to disconnect the WiFi on my laptop and reconnect again. Anyone facing this issue and has been able to resolve it? I don't face this problem with my Non-Apple laptop.

My iPad keeps dropping my WiFi Connection despite indicating otherwise

I have seen threads that indicate problems with WiFi speed after iOS 4.2.1 was released, but my problem isn't with speed exactly.
In brief, my iPad will essentially go to sleep on its WiFi connection regularly, despite showing a 100% WiFi signal at all times. I can correct the problem temporarily by turning the WiFi off and then on again, but this is quickly becoming a nuisance.
Speedwise, the speed is terrific when it's locked in and working. So I don't have the slowness issues some others are reporting. It's just more of an all-or-nothing deal.
Per some threads I read elsewhere, I tried resetting my network on the iPad, but the problem persists.
Are there any known solutions out there? Do we have any indication that Apple is aware of the problem?

I completely understand, my launch day iPad has this very problem from the start and was fixed with iOS 3.2.1, but with the iOS 4.2.1 update the problem is back. The best work-around for me beyond turning wifi off and then on again is to have the access point set to only one 802.11 protocol, B, G, or N.
My iPad will maintain a solid connection for hours while connected to a WAP that is setup to run just one 802.11 protocol not mixed. I've tested this on three different routers, two (b/g) and one (b/g/n), and the results are reproducible. I've contacted Apple Care about this and they are being made aware of a growing problem among iPad users, so a solution should be three months down the road like the last time they fixed the problem. If that isn't something you can work with, it might be best to return the iPad, because it's clearly a minor hardware fault with a minority of iPads as many of the users in these forums will tell you that there isn't any problem with their iPad. Me, I'm willing to give Apple a chance to fix the bug.
You should still call Apple Care about your problem or at least submit a bug report to apple.com/feedback, they do not read these forums, the forums are user driven.

My iMac G5 keeps losing its WiFi Connection

I have 3 macs working off my wireless router. Two out of three are still working fine, but the third (an iMac G5) keeps losing its network connection and either won't find the network or, if it does, will not allow me to rejoin it, even after entering the relevant key/password. It has been in the same location in my house and has worked fine for the last five years. But oddly, if I move the G5 to within a few feet of the router it starts working again (though sometimes seems unable to find the network, although when it does it will let me join it, hassle free).
Have spoken to some Apple guys and, following their advice, have gone into SYSTEM PREFERENCES, NETWORK, LOCATION but having got that far a pop-up appears telling me that an application has changed my network settings. Zapping OK, this dialog box just keeps re-appearing and the only way I can get out of this corner is by 'force quit'.
Can you help?
Thanks
Dave

Because of a "feature" in the Security Update 2008-006 for OS X 10.4.11, sometimes 10.4 systems repeatedly display the message "Your network settings have been changed by another application." This message is sometimes accompanied by dropous in wireless connectivity. This issue went away with 10.5 or later.
The potential fix is as follows:
Delete the following files from Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
NetworkInterfaces.plist
preferences.plist
com.apple.nat.plist
then restart. Before doing this and deleting these files, be sure to write down the names and passwords required to log in to your router as all these settings will be lost and will have to be re-entered.

My ipad 3 keeps dropping the wifi connection when my android tablet, android phone, and laptop have never had any issues.

I just got a verizon ipad and am having wifi connection problems. It will connect to my wifi but every 5 or 10 minutes it will drop the connection. The only way to get it back is to go and manually connect to it again in the wifi settings.
Is anyone else having this problem? My android tablet and phone and laptop do not have this problem.

It appears hundreds are having this problem. You must not have done a search for this subject before posting. Try a search for "wifi connection problem on iPad 3" and you'll get lots of information regarding this problem and a few suggestions you can try.
