Lose Internet connection when I change the SSID

Hi everyone!
well, i bought a WRT160N router, and i have a problem that is annoying me.
I connected the Router to the modem, and all the wired connected PCs were working perfectly.
But then, i went to the setup page to configure the Wireless settings, and as soon I changed the SSID name, the connection internet connection dropped!
The only way i had to fix this was by making a Hard Reset.
after that, I also tryed changing values and settings from all the configuration tabs, and the wired connection was working properly, but as soon i changed any value from the Wireless tab, the internet connection dropped (even, in the diagnostics section, i could not do a ping to google. It says unknown host).
Here you have an image of this:

I thought that this was a hardware related problem, and i returned the router for another wrt160n, and the problem persisted.
Also, i have the latest firmware
Any idea?

I thought that a wireless client connects to the named SSID that you designate. If you change the SSID while clients are connected, that would be like the network disappearing as far as the clients are concerned. So you would have to reconnect the clients that were connected to that SSID network. Other wireless network parameters that you change would also cause disconnects, like changing the security, changing the passphrase, etc., you would have to reconnect clients with the new parameters that were connected at the time you made the changes.

7510e printer loses internet connectivity when it goes to sleep

I own a 7510e all in one printer, I connected it wireless again after having it connected with a USB
cable, I had to do this because my printer loses internet connectivity when it goes to sleep or if I get a power outage, this has been going on since I purchased it last year. I got a new wireless router/modem combo from my ISP server and hoped that would solve the problem but it has not.
I cannot get any apps except for those that are on the front of my printer which are just for small kids. I am now told that this printer has been discontinued and 7520 has replaced it, I do not wish to spend another $200.00 in less than a year for a printer. It is registered with HP connected and I have a Efax # and HP connected address, I did everything correctly but it seems that each time I set it up wireless it messes up my desktop windows 7 home premium 64 bit, cloud services told me not to use IE 10 but we are ready to download IE11 so I am using IE 10, this time HP support assistant quit working and I could not even uninstall it until I downloaded microsoft fix it and then redownloaded it from HP web site.
If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it, I am not on a home group yet it always tells me I do not have administrators permission to do a lot of things, I am the only user.

Hi emma22
Here is a document for Getting the Latest Firmware and Product Updates.

I checked and there is no way to turn off the sleep mode on this model.
I included a document for Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection and to try Solution three: Assign a static IP address to the printer. You will need to get your It department most likely to set this up for you if you don't have full admin rights.

All devices on network lose internet connection when Dell laptop connected

I have successfully setup my AEBS network and am using two wireless clients--HP printer and Xbox access point (both 802.11 G) and a wired iMac that also is connected via Airport (so I can move it around if i want). I tried connecting my Dell Latitude D830 wirelessly and within a few minutes of connecting the AEBS loses internet connectivity. Unplugging and restarting the AEBS restores the internet but it just drops off again in less than 10 minutes. My question is, what might be causing this and what can I do about it? One peculiar thing to me is that I am using the WEP security option since the Xbox doesn't seem to support WAP2. When connecting the Xbox it reports the network as WEP but the HP printer and Dell Laptop but suggested the network was indeed WAP even though I'm clearing using WEP security. Maybe it's nothing but wanted to add for completeness.
The Dell is running Vista Enterprise edition.
Thanks for any help.

I've noticed a similar issue. Any time my HP/Vista laptop is connected to my AEBS it loses the network connection at inconsistant time intervals(~10-15 min).

Why does my macbook intermittently lose internet connection when I have internet service?

Hello,
I have checked around on Apple forums as well as the wider internet. My situation is just a bit different than the other solutions I read about.
I have a MacBook, 10.6.8. I have an internet antenna that plugs into the modem, that I plug into my computer. What I have not found in the forums are solutions to an internet connection loss that happens with a hardwired internet connection, ie ethernet wire, not wireless.
I contacted my isp and I was told there is a very strong connection. The internet will cut out when I open another window or just at random times, maybe for 20 seconds. This is very irritating.
Skype and itunes run just fine even when the internet cuts out. I feel there is a problem with one or my of settings. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Most often BitTorrent, iCloud or some other cloud-data application is involved in cases of mysterious bandwidth use by a Mac. If you use iCloud, uncheck at least Photo Stream and Documents & Data in its preference pane and see whether there's any change. If you use third-party network backup software, disable that. If you use a torrent client, remove it.
Otherwise, there's no easy way to monitor network usage per process using built-in tools. If you're an advanced user and you want to try, see the manual page for the nettop(1) shell command. It may or may not provide the information you're looking for.
The third-party products Rubbernet and Little Snitch are supposed to record network usage by processes. I can't vouch for them. Both were available as free trials, the last time I checked. I suggest you uninstall either one when the question has been answered.

Why do I lose internet connection when I put airport extreme into bridge mode to correct Double NAT issue

I reset my airport extreme router the other day because I was too lazy to reset the password on my private network.
I have been reading the advice found on apple support communities and wide web, but the solutions do not solve any problems and often create new ones.
I'm regretting because everything was working just fine.
But I remember having this double nat error when I first set it up a few months back, but now I cannot resolve it.
I would live with the yellow light, but it seems that this double nat error is preventing my playstation 3 from connecting to the airport extreme.
When I put the aiport extreme into bridge mode, I loose all my wireless networks, even when I reboot the airport extreme and the modem.
I try rebooting the modem, then the airport. and vice versa. No internet.
I switch back to NAT/DCHP and the internet works fine on apple devices, but not the playstation 3, and I have the 1 Double NAT error.
I have a plain stock Motorolla modem and I can dial in and see settings (although nothing about NAT). I didn't see where to see them.
I tried setting the DHCP only but it said it didn't like the settings. is there a stock range i could be using?

I have a plain stock Motorolla modem and I can dial in and see settings (although nothing about NAT). I didn't see where to see them.
Exact model .. motorola make adsl, cable and probably wireless modems.. with some modems and some modem router.. we need exact info. What kind of broadband do you have?
I would note.. some of the motorola cable modems seem to have issues with the apple routers. If you are about due to change modems.. now is a good time.. not another motorola.
If the modem is a straight cable modem, the AE must be in router mode.. but you need to power down the cable modem. maybe for 20min so the new router can pick up the IP address.
You cannot use DHCP alone.. the ISP do not give you a block of IP addresses.
You cannot use bridge with a pure modem.. you will find it works.. but only to one device.
The only reason you get double NAT is the failure to pick up the public IP.
Give the info required..
If you have trouble, I need the actual IP of the modem. the actual IP of the AE WAN port when plugged in. Screenshots are good.

Lose internet connection when lid is closed, but have to have it closed.

Hello, been enjoying my Macbook for some time now, but an issue arises. Everytime I close the lid, it goes into sleep mode and I lose my wireless internet connection, now I understand it was designed this way, but it makes it hard to download large files on the internet, especially since my house attracts dust pretty easily and it gets on the display.
I have to send and receive large files (recording program files) over MSN messenger, but I keep getting disconnected when the lid is shut, any way around this without having to download a program ?
I don't think running the Macbook lid-closed can create heat problems since it was designed to run this way when an external monitor is attached, am I right ? So shouldn't we be able to chose wether it goes to sleep or not when we want ? ... Big issue, at least for me ...
Francis.

You may want to take a look at this program called Sleepless. Should do the trick for you.

Only MBP loses internet connection when I move away from router

Last week I started having trouble with my old Motorola modem/router. I bought a new Zoom modem/router and set it up on Friday. The router is under my desk maybe 12 feet from the top of my stairs (not in a room, it's in an open loft at the top of the stairs). Right now I am on my MBP at my desk, wirelessly connected, and everything is fine. However, if I take my MBP downstairs (or even on to the stairs), I lose internet. The wi-fi status always shows full strength. My iPhone and iPad get wi-fi fine downstairs, even though the wi-fi status doesn't show full strength. It is driving me crazy. What could be causing this? Thanks.

You could try changing the chanel of your router

Lose Internet Connection When I Use IChat

I lose my internet connection after using my IChat after a few minutes. This happens every time and I have to unplug and plug my my three boxes. My phone is connected to my internet so I lose my phone connection as well. Very annoying. Anyone know what is going on here?

Is this a new box with the phone connection ?

Macbook Air loses internet connection after I close the cover

This happens all the time. Whenever I walk away from the computer, I'll close the cover for security. When I return, I'll be prompted for my password.
After I sign back in, on the top, I'll still have my five bars for network connectivity. But if I try to refresh or open a webpage, it will time out.
If I switch from one wifi network to another, it works. I have a dual-band router with a 2.4g and 5g network running. This problem occurs if I'm connected to either, and switching to the other network makes the internet work. Also, in the case of Facebook, after it times out I can then put in Facebook.com and then it goes back to pulling up normally.

If it disconnects, you can use the icon in the menubar to reconnect rather than restart.
If the icon isn't in the menubar then go to System Preferences > Network > Select WiFi on the left > check "Show WiFi status in the menubar"

Wrt54gs loses internet connection when using P2P Ares

I have a wrt54gs v5 and I've installed the latest firmware and reset back to factory then reconfigured. Whenever Ares is started all other computers (wired or wireless) lose their inet connection. Within 2-5 minutes of stopping Ares everything starts working again. I've checked Ares and it's set to am max of 10 connections.
I've hooked up my old befsx41 and it works fine but I need the wireless. Both of these are talking to a befcmu10 cable modem. I've never had problems with linksys before but from what I'm seeing on the forums the wrt54xxx doesn't seem to be of the same quality as the oldser stuff. Anyone know of any specific versions that fix this?
(Mod Note: Edited for guideline compliance. Thanks!)
Message Edited by Maximus on 07-04-2007 02:13 PM

Since your BEF works with P2P, why don't you simply convert your WRT into a WAP (wireless access point). This way you will use the wireless of the WRT, while using the BEF to handle all the routing chores.
To do this, setup the BEF as your primary router.
Then wire one computer to port 1 (not the Internet port) on the WRT. (Note: Disconnect everything else from the WRT at this time.)
Then in the WRT do the following:
Turn off the DHCP server.
Set the "Local IP address" to 192.168.1.2 (assuming no other device on your network is using this fixed LAN IP address, and assuming the BEF is set to use the 192.168.1.x address space.)
Save your settings. Power down the WRT.
Next, connect any numbered port on the WRT to any numbered port on the BEF. Do not connect anything to the Internet port on the WRT.
The BEF will control your router settings (DHCP server, port forwarding, etc.)
The WRT will control your wireless settings.
Please let me know whether this setup allows your P2P to work properly.

Why does my iMac lose internet connection when importing music via iTunes Home sharing?

Hi, I tried searching for a solution but could not find anything to solve my problem.
I recently purchased an iMac and am attempting to import my iTunes library from my old Windows 7 laptop using the Home sharing function. As far as I can tell, everything works fine - both computers are connected to my wireless network, I can see and connect to the library, I can begin importing my music but after 5 or so minutes my iMac will stop transferring music and I can no longer access any internet sites, even though i seem to be connected to the internet. Turning wifi on and off allows me to access the internet again. I have tried many solutions, but nope seem to have helped. Both computers have the latest version of iTunes. I have tried disabling the firewall on my router, resetting the router, resetting both computers, reopening iTunes.
Does anybody have any ideas as to what could solve the problem? Thank you

I've noticed that Lion automatically reconnects in about 5-10 seconds after being waken from sleep mode.
Make sure that you've set you Network connections up properly in System Preferences and then, after waking from sleep mode, wait to see if it automatically reconnects.
In System Preferences:
Network / Wi-Fi:
Make sure "Network Name" is specified.
Advanced:
Make sure your "Preferred Networks" are specified. (The order is significant).
Also make sure that the "Remember networks this computer has joined" is checked.
Also, you may want to try playing with the "Energy Saver" Settings in System Preferences, perhaps disabling sleep mode but turning off the screen (although I don't prefer this method since it kind of defeats the whole purpose of having a sleep mode IMHO).

When I change from automatic to manual ethernet from 100baseTX to 1000baseT I lose internet connection

My iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2013) connection is automatically set at 100BaseTX. I changed to manual (from automatic) and selected 1000baseT setting in hardware settings. Lost internet connection when I did so. Is it possible to do this?

You can't magically change a slower connection into a faster one. That has to been done at the switch or the router.

I get a message "The Itunes server could not be contacted, check your internet connection" when trying to check for Ipod Nano software updates. I have a 1st generation Nano and haven't updated the software for a while. My internet connection is working. Was thre a change in the internet address for NANO software updates? Do I have to reconfigure something in Itunes to point to the correct address?

What version of iTunes are you using? The latest is 10.6.3. In iTunes, choose Help -> About iTunes to check the version number. If it's lower than 10.6.3, download the latest version from here.

Airport extreme loses internet connection all the time with imac and macbook pro

I keep losing the internet connection with airport extreme on my imac and macbook pro but NOT with my pc

Ok, so when you say you lose internet connection, is it disconnecting from your wireless network so there are no bars?
And are there usually full bars?
