Lose wireless connection when not in same room as wireless modem.

When I try to use my z60t laptop in another room in the house I cannot connect to the internet. The signal strength is either very good or low. When I am in the office where the wireless modem is located, my signal strength is excellent and there is no problem. My husband does not have this same problem with his HP laptop. I also get a good signal with my iphone all over the house. After calling Verizon it was determined that it is a computer problem.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Lisa

100% certain that I am connecting to my modem. And yes the password is a good one too. As I said, I have no troubles connecting when outside a 5metre or 15feet (for those of us who aren't metric) radius of the modem. When closer then that, the connection will usually drop out.

MacBook loses wireless connection when iPod touch connects to network

hi
ever since upgrading to 10.5.5. on my MacBook i've had the "intermittent network connection" problems that have been described and discussed (without any real solution from what i can see) in another thread.
PROBLEM: every couple of minutes my MacBook loses connectivity to the network - the AirPort icon still says that i'm connected, albeit with one less bar than before, but i can't connect to anywhere, not even to the wireless router - and to re-establish a connection i need to switch off AirPort, switch it back on, it will then reconnect, and after two minutes or so i have to do it all over again because the network connection drops again.
NOVEL OBSERVATION 1: reinstalling the 10.5.5. combo system updater helped somewhat. i used to get an error in system.log about there being too many state transitions on the wireless network and about network traffic reduction measures being taken to overcome this problem, but after reinstalling the 10.5.5. combo system updater this message never appears in the logs and I get kicked off only sometimes (see what i say in point 2 below)
NOVEL OBSERVATION 2: now my MacBook will only lose its connection to the net if i switch on my iPod Touch and switch its wireless interface on. in fact, the only way to avoid the MacBook getting constantly disconnected is to make sure that the wireless interface on the Touch is switched off in the Touch's system preferences; if I just sleep the Touch (top button) without switching off its wireless network interface first in its System Preferences, then the MacBook will keep disconnecting even while the Touch is in sleep mode (presumably the Touch keeps polling the network or something, even while it's in sleep mode).
DIAGNOSTIC NOTE 1: I have another wireless device (my Nokia E51, which has wifi capabilities) and if I connect it to the wireless interface then the MacBook's connection isn't dropped - i.e. the MacBook only loses its wireless connection when my iPod Touch connects to the wireless network.
DIAGNOSTIC NOTE 2: I have upgraded my wireless router (before I had a Linksys WRT-54GC, now I have a Netgear WGR614v9) but that has made no difference.
DIAGNOSTIC NOTE 3: I have also tried altering the router's settings (i have played around a_lot with this, trying every combination I could think of - e.g. staple down particular devices to particular ip addresses, use only 802.11g versus automatic b/g, etc) but that has made no difference either.
RANT:
The only thing that prevents these disconnections from occurring is to keep the iPod Touch's wireless switched off, which ***** because if I'm in the kitchen I can't have it switched on to monitor my email (yes, I've no life, i hang around waiting for emails), or if I go have a lie down and want to check out stuff on the net, or to browse the iTunes music store or whatever, then I know that my connecting my iPod Touch the computer will be disconnected.
This obviously *****, right? And a lot of people are having wireless problems with their MacBooks, right? And these problems seem to have been around for over a year, right?
So why hasn't Apple solved this problem yet? Or am I just being melodramatic?
Your thoughts on any or all of the above, or flames if that's your preferred method of communicating, are invited. =)

Having the same problem here. As a first time mac user, Apple has certainly made a bad first impression.
For me, the issue seems to occur when transferring files between computers that are connected to the same access point (when transferring files from wired computers on the network there is no issue). My vista laptop and every laptop I have tried has worked perfectly fine with this access point so I am 100% convinced it is the mac. Basically when I copy the files, after about 100mb, I am unable to access anything on the local network or internet until I restart Airport. The weird thing is that even though I am unable to access anything, the airport utility says it is connected. I might also note that the wireless signal strength is full.
If I can't get this figured out in a few days, this computer is going back to the store where it came from and I will officially label myself anti-mac. This type of issue is just unacceptable for something so main stream.

My airport express never connects to the internet only flashes amber even when it's in the same room with the modem.

I want to set it up as a wi-Fi extender.

Your AirPort Express can only extend a wireless network provided by another Apple router if you want the network connection between them to be wireless.
What is the make & model of the wireless device that you are trying to extend with your Express?

Which means exactly what? One iPad can connect intermittently and one doesn't connect at all? This makes it sound to me like you are having WiFi issues with both of them. At least that's how I interpret your statement.
Start by rebooting your router. Unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

I believe that it is in AirPort Express, and would have to clean it. How do you do that?

You need to use the Express in router mode.. I think you are trying to use it in bridge mode.. but you need to give us a lot more details.. screenshots might help more than anything.

I lose the connection when closing the CMD

Hi guys,
I have configured a standalone listener as following:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin> java -Dapex.home=D:\list -Dapex.images=C:\images -jar D:\apex.war
Afterward,
If I close the CMD, I will lose the connection, and I have to reconfigure it again.
If I open APEX locally , I mean by using the shortcut "Get Started With Oracle Database 11g Express Edition" , Then I will lose the connection that uses the default port of the listener, that is 8080.
After I configured the listener I got this message on the CMD
-- listing properties --
PropertyCheckInterval=60
ValidateConnection=true
MinLimit=1
MaxLimit=10
InitialLimit=3
AbandonedConnectionTimeout=900
MaxStatementsLimit=10

APEX Listener version : 1.1.2.131.15.23

Hi,
I'm not sure I got your question right, but I'll try to find some solution anyway.
If I close the CMD, I will lose the connection, and I have to reconfigure it again.That's what happens when a shell is terminated - all associated processes will stop as well. However, if you have a apex-config.xml in your apex.home you shouldn't need to configure your APEX Listener each time your start it, but it would reuse an existing configuration.
If I open APEX locally , I mean by using the shortcut "Get Started With Oracle Database 11g Express Edition" , Then I will lose the connection that uses the default port of the listener, that is 8080.Now, if you have XE running on the same (local) machine as you have your APEX Listener running in standalone mode, you probably have a port conflict: By default, both APEX Listener in standalone mode and the Embedded PL/SQL Gateway (EPG) use port 8080. The EPG is activated as web server for APEX in XE after a fresh installation, the APEX Listener would be an alternative in that case. You can either stop the EPG, or reconfigure any of the two web servers to use a different port, if you want to run them parallel.
To change the port used by the APEX Listener in standalone mode, you simply add another parameter to the startup: -Dapex.port=8888 and you're done.
To change the port used by the EPG, connect as sys and run the following
EXEC DBMS_XDB.SETHTTPPORT(8888);
COMMIT;If you want to disable the EPG, simply set the port to *0* .
After I configured the listener I got this message on the CMDThat's what it should look like.
No, since your topic is "lose the connection when closing the CMD", I assume you search for an alternative. You could run the APEX Listener as a Windows service, even in standalone mode. To do this, you create a batch file, e.g.
%JAVA_HOME%\java -Dapex.home=D:\oracle\APEX_Listener\_home -Dapex.images=D:\oracle\apex_4_0_2\images -Dapex.port=8888 -jar D:\oracle\APEX_Listener\apex_listener.1.1.2.131.15.23\apex.war >>D:\oracle\APEX_Listener\apex_listener.1.1.2.131.15.23\my_apex_listener.log 2>&1Note that you have to set JAVA_HOME as system property or replace the call with the absolute path to your JDK or make sure the JDK is in your PATH variable.
Of course, you can and should change the other directories as well to fit to your system.
Next, create a Windows service, e.g. using [url https://iain.cx/src/nssm/]NSSM (free) or [url http://support.microsoft.com/kb/137890]SRVANY (MS, non-free), that starts your batch as a windows service.
The command for creating that service using NSSM could look as follows
nssm install APEX_Listener D:\oracle\APEX_Listener\apex_listener.1.1.2.131.15.23\startup.cmdYou can edit the service properties afterwards, e.g. change the start mode from "Automatic" to "On Demand".
I hope this answers your question. If not, please point me into the right direction.
Thanks,

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.

Are you running OS X Lion? If so there are unfortunately numerous threads on here discussing exactly the same problem. So far there doesn't seem to be a definitive solution, with everyone hoping that Apple will come up with a permanent fix.
Here's a quick search of these forums alone - depressing reading:

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.
If multiple iPhones are having the same issue where ithey are disconnecting from your Wi-Fi network, then I'd like you to please review the settings on your router to ensure they match with the information in the article below.

Mouse loses Bluetooth connection when left idle

I am suddenly having an issue where the bluetooth mouse which works off the preinstalled Toshiba bluetooth stack,
loses its connection when left idle for a little while.
This was not happening before.
What could cause this?
I just changed the batteries in the mouse so that is not the issue.
Any ideas?

That doesn't matter. If you can get a newer version for your band then use it.
If not, install the Toshiba one and see if it works. Afterwards install your old one again,
but ensure during the uninstallation that you do not remove the old Bluetooth setup configurations (The uninstaller asks for it).
In this case the newer driver remain on your system. Maybe it solves your problem.

I downloaded the new 7 update and now my iPad won't charge to 100% and loses power even when not in use ?

i downloaded the new 7 update on my ipad. it now will not charge to 100% and loses power even when not in use. any solutions ??

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.
Then plug it in and let it fully charge.

New 6500 E709n loses wireless connection when it or laptop sleeps... & other problems!

Just got this printer and am hoping we can get it to work because we really like it. I believe we've done everything right - it is connected to PC via USB, and to laptop via wireless network. Both computers are Dells running XP. Our wireless router is a Linksys Wireless-G WRT54G. We installed the disk on both. Immediately after installing on the laptop by plugging in USB and then unplugging, we were able to get it to work. We printed and scanned from both . . . UNTIL the printer went into power save mode.
When it sleeps it loses all the network connections (but will still print from PC). Even the icons disappear from the laptop after it sleeps. The only way to get it to work with the laptop again is to start all over, plug in the laptop, enter the WPA key again, and so on. Then it's finebut for just a short while. Now, when I registered my protection plan, I was on the phone with a techie guy and asked him if it's normal to have to keep entering the key every time you want to print, and he actually said that maybe I shouldn't let the printer sleep - wow! I want to conserve energy, so I may even want to shut it off, okay, and I don't feel I should have to go through this rigamarole every time I want the darn thing to just be available to the network. Furthermore, what's the sense of having to turn "Wireless Radio" on and off all the time???
Anyway, there are other problems and the menus in the internal web browser is about as confusing as it can be. Is the passphrase the same as a WPA key? There's a passphrase in there which I did not enter, and I don't know what it is because it's been disguised with dots. When I enter the WPA key on the front panel of the printer, it doesn't stick. One thing I noticed in the instructions is to keep telephones away from it, so I moved ours (was right next to it) but it's still being ornery.
In addition, the scan function only works from the software, not as a standalone if I use the front panel. When using the button on the front panel, sometimes it sees the laptop, sometimes it doesn't, and then it starts to scan, but a menu pops up on the computer asking to update the buttons, and then nothing happens.
Have we a clunker on our hands that should be returned, or is there a remedy? All suggestions welcome!

Let me answer the easy stuff first:
Yes, the passphrase is the same as the WPA-PSK key.
No, it's not normal to have to re-enter the wireless security key over and over again. Politely tell our service agent that he is mistaken on this point.
There's no sense in having to turn the radio on and off all the time to get the printer to remain on the network.
When the printer goes into power-save mode, can you still access the printer's internal web page by browsing to it's IP address? When the printer loses wireless connectivity, can you wake the printer by pressing any of the buttons on the front panel?
I have a couple more questions:
What WRT54G HW version do you have (it'll be on the bottom label of the router)?
What version of FW does your router have? You'll have to browse to the router's internal web page to find out.
Finally, change the WPA-PSK group key renewal period to the largest value possible. Tell if this affects the frequency of printer losing Wi-Fi connectivity?
One more question. After you have the printer connected to your wireless network and it's working, if you turn the printer off (via the power button), wait five seconds then unplug it then plug it back in and turn it on, does it connect to your network?

I lose wireless connectivity when I connect the nano to my PC

I have a DSL modem connected by ethernet cable to a Linksys wireless router. My PC has USB linksys antenna. The wireless connection works fine except when I plug in the Nano, it takes about two seconds and I lose the connection to the router. If we are in itunes downloading it is suspended. If we are on the internet the next click and the Microsoft "you are not connected to the internet" page comes up. To reestablish the internet connection I have to remove the nano and reboot the PC. Needless to say this is very frustrating.
If I reboot with the cable attached I get an error unable to run an ____.exe that I believe is the antenna setup because the linksys monitor stays gray in the startup box.
I have tried to move the antenna to a different USB port on the PC with no luck. Everything else runs fine.
Does anyone out there have any ideas/fixes? - Your assistance is greatly appreciated!

thanks deggie for your answer.
