Losing internet connection every hour

Hi Guys
I replaced my Linksys router with an Airport Extreme 4th Gen about 2 weeks ago
I keep on losing Internet Connection when connected through a Wireless connection. This happens with my Windows 7 PC's, with my iPhone4 and with my iPad2. The connection with the AE is kept alive but the passthrough to the Internet does not work anymore. I have to reset my wireless adapter to reconnect and rebuild my internet connection.
Fyi,

I do not want to go back to my good old Linksys...

I have a similar problem with a new TC 2TB unit. I have ATT ADSL service using a Speedstream modem. PPPoE is setup on the TC and it works and connects. All features of the TC are working (wi-fi, Back to My Mac, Time Machine, etc...) and the light is solid green on the TC.
Periodically, the LED blinks amber and I've lost Internet access. The Speedstream modem shows all green lights. I have found that power cycling the Speedstream modem brings the TC back to solid green after about 2 minutes.
I am seeing this happen about once a day and it can happen overnight when there is no network activity. I am thinking that the lease on the IP address given by ATT expires and the TC does not know enough to reinitiate a connection. I have set the PPPoE Connection to Always On and experienced the problem. I have also tried setting the Connection to Automatic and set the Disconnect if Idle setting to Never.

  • Losing ATT internet connection every hour. Help?

    Just upgraded from old Airport to Time Capsule. Old network worked flawlessly for years.
    My problem is now with Time Capsule I get disconnected from the internet every hour or so. After about 5 minutes the internet connection is automatically restored. (Or I can do a reboot of the modem to restore it quicker.)
    I'm using ATT DLS service. Have a Speedstream 5100 modem.
    Apple has replaced my Time Capsule, but the problem persists.
    I reverted back to my old Airport network and the problem disappears.
    Seems to be some type of incompatibility between Time Capsule and ATT.
    I've been on the phone for hours with both ATT and Apple. Anybody out there have any thoughts???

  • Wrt610n losing internet connection every 2 days

    I've just received a wr610n v1 as a warranty replacement for an older linksys router.  It works fine normally, but every day or 2 I lose the internet connection on it.  My cable modem (20Mb/s) shows a few blinks on the 'ethernet' & 'send' lights, but nothing on the receive light.  Renewing the ip in the linksys config pages kicks it into life again, and it's fine for another day or 2.  Anyone else seen similar behaviour?

    Again, fidding around with the wireless settings is not going to make a blind bit of difference - the wireless remains working fine throughout.  The problem is with the connection from the router to the modem.  When that goes down, internet is obviously lost on wired & wireless, while connections behind the router (wired-to-wired, wired-to-wireless, wireless-to-wireless) all remain working fine.

  • My iMac keeps on losing internet connection. Webpages get stuck after a minute or so. If I check the internet connection via diagnostics it seems to work just fine. Others, like the iPad use the same wifi connection and never fail. What can I do?

    Running 10.6.8 on Intel dual core iMac, it keeps on losing internet connection. Webpages get stuck after a minute or so. If I check the internet connection via diagnostics it seems to work just fine. Others, like the iPad use the same wifi connection and never fail. What can I do?

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

  • WRT160N losing internet connection

    Hello,
    I have a router WRT160N and is randomly losing internet connection. I should reset at every 5-50 seconds but is unlikely to do this. I prefer to insert the internet in network card, instead reset it every minute.
    I've reset the router, I've restore it to factory settings with no result.
    Internet is OK, cable is OK, MTU is OK, routing table is OK. What isn't OK?

    Click here and select the correct version of your router, download the firmware and upgrade it...It should help you get a stable connection...Change the MTU to 1400...

  • Loosing internet connection every 15 minutes

    I am "loosing" my internet connection every 15 minutes. The cable box was replaced. Internet sharing is off. The firewall is on and no ports are checked. But, every 15 minutes, I get a message (using Safari) that there is no connection. I select network diagnostics and after I go through a few steps, all the buttons are green and then the connection works. This is very problematic, though, since I am loosing work while working online. Any suggestions?

    Hi otobinchicago,
    The fact is you can delete the .plist (com.apple.networkConfig.plist) and re-enter your setting and you will find out if this is the problem, but as I can assure you I have been through the same process. Reconfiguring the computer, the modem, etc, and it was the hardware.
    You could try taking your computer to a friends house linking it to their modem and testing it that way. As long as the post-computer to ISP link is nothing to do with your hardware, you will see that it could be hardware or software.
    My bet is that it is hardware. It sounds too similar to what I had.

  • My ipad mini loses Internet connection every time it automatically locks.

    My ipad mini loses Internet connection every time it automatically locks. I have to re-establish the connection but sometimes it would take too long for the Internet to be connected. I'm using a wireless connection

    just browsing around I found this question. Also on my mini retina I fight with this problem. After a lot of searching I found that the only solution is to switch to
    Airplane Mode, wait few seconds and switch again.
    Or, if you are lucky, to find a Genius who replaces your unit. Cheers

  • Why is my macbook pro running so slow and losing internet connection?

    Why is my Macbook Pro downloading so slowly and losing internet connection frequently?

    Write off the MS stuff as indicators for now--starting with Office 2008, they developed very long launch times. The time to launch 2008 on my old 1.25Ghz G4 and my MBP 2.2G are virtually the same. Even document opens/saves are slow compared to Office 2004 and earlier.
    1) You have adequate hard drive space so that eliminates one of the usual suspects.
    2) Check for runaway background processes. Quit all running user applications so the computer is at normal idle. Find Activity Monitor in Applications > Utilities and launch it. If you've not run it before, change the "Show" pulldown at the top of the AM window from its default of "User Processes" to "All Processes." There is a column for "%CPU." Click that column header to sort by CPU usage. Watch the processes "bubble" for about a minute to get a better picture of the usage.
    If any process is using more than about 25 percent of the CPU cycles while the computer is idling, post the names of the processes and we can see if they can be eliminated. My MBP shows nothing using more that about 5 percent on any given test run as long as I close all my user apps.
    3) If you have never done any sort of maintenance procedures, taht can slow you down. Simply restarting the computer a few times a week clear a lot of temporary files. You also may wish to review this article on the Mac OSX periodic maintenance scripts, which, if run, also do a lot of cleanup:
    http://thexlab.com/faqs/maintscripts.html
    There are other useful articles on file maintenance associated with the one. Here's the index:
    http://thexlab.com/faqs/faqs.html
    Check out articles with "Maintain" and "Tuning" in the titles.
    4) Use Disk Utility to check the SMART Status of your hard drive. A failing drive can make things slow before it makes things stop.

  • Airport time capsule losing Internet connection?

    My airport time capsule is losing Internet connection but I still have wifi? Any suggestions?

    It could be your modem, or other problem on the ISP's end. Try resetting your modem - power it down and let it rest for a few minutes, then power it back up again.
    If it is a cable modem, also disconnect its coaxial cable - literally unscrew it and leave it detached while the modem is powered down.
    Leave the TC powered up during that time.
    After a sufficient amount of time has elapsed reconnect the cable and power up the cable modem. If you're still having trouble contact your ISP.
    The possibility of a TC problem exists but the sort of failure you describe is not common. If all else fails perform a "hard reset" followed by reconfiguring the TC. Your Time Machine backups will not be affected.

  • My MacBook Air which is only 3 months old, keeps on losing internet connection.  To reconnect I have to click on the internet icon on the top bar and click turn wi-fi off.  I then have to click turn wi-fi on and it reconnects after a few seconds.

    My MacBook Air which is only just over 3 months old, keeps on losing internet connection.. To resolve it I have to click on the internet icon at the top of the page and then click turn wi-fi off.  I then click turn wi-fi on and it reconnects.  This resolves it for a while, and then it disconnects and I have to go through the same procedure again.  My BT Home hub is fine because my wife's i pad and our phones are all ok.  What can the problem be?

  • Do they have plans to fix the bugs with Yosemite.  I keep losing internet connection on my Mac Book

    Ever since i installed Yosemite on my Mac Book pro i keep losing internet connection.  Should I go back to mavericks because I just hate this Yosemite or do they plan to fix the bugs soon?  I did a complete clean install and I am still having problems.  I see a lot of complicated solutions and I am not that tech savvy to go into my settings.  Thanks

    All software has bugs. The first release (which you have) will be the worst.
    Many advocate not upgrading to a new operating system until it's been out for 3 months or longer. In the Windows world many recommend not upgrading until a full year has passed.
    So yes, most / some bugs and glitches will get fixed over time.   If you wish to reduce your difficulties in the future wait a while before installing ANY new OS.
    I suggest you post specific details on your Internet problems. How are you connected etc.

  • ***Time Capsule intermittently losing internet connection***

    Hello, Here's the story:
    My Time Capsule intermittently is losing internet connection. The light is green for 5-10 minutes at a time, then turns amber for 2 minutes and loses internet connection.
    At first,..I thought it was the TC going bad. Went to my local Apple store and had it replaced under warranty.
    Still,, the same situation was happening.
    Then talked to AT&T (DSL) and they checked the connection. They deemed it was OK and possibly the modem going bad.
    Went to Best Buy and purchased a new modem. Installed, put into Bridge Mode,...interenet working OK.
    Still,...the same situation that it stays on for 5-10 minutes, then loses it for 2 minutes.
    Any ideas? Could it still be the ISP (AT&T)?
    Last thought,...my neighbor uses Uverse (AT&T) for his cable/ISP and he is expierincing cable/ISP outages ramdomly. I am using DSL (AT&T) too but through my phone line. Are the two possibly related?

    You need to run the modem in router mode..
    I would either bridge the TC or remove it completely because you need to get exact log info from the modem.
    Do isolation test.. ie remove all phones and filters and other devices from your phone line. Reboot the modem.. and wait for restart to complete.
    Copy out of the modem the full line stats, sync info and even better if you can get cli access and do some deeper level stuff.. (most of the tools I use are PC only.. ie dmt tools).
    Then make sure the log is turned on and giving max info and watch your connection.. if it drops without anything happening on the modem,, then the ISP is having issues.. which is possible although connection of cable and adsl is loose or non-existent.
    If it drops sync keep track of how often and the line stats, Particularly the SNR..
    See if you have an rf noise source in the house.. more if you are interested.

  • HT1218 Airport Time Capsule losing internet connection after 3 hours

    I just got a Time Capsule and my internet connection seems to time out after 3 hours or so.  My macbook/iphones/ipad seem to still connect to the internet but there is no internet connection.  The only fix seems to be unplugging the modem every 3 hours.  I think I have the most updated systems on everything.  Does anyone know what I need to do?

  • Losing internet connection after Flash Player update.

    Recently, I suffered from a Fake Flash Player infection involving the Adobooaan hijacker malware.  I had great difficulty getting rid of it and in the end resorted to using Spyhunter and then hand-deleting the things it came up with.
    [Yes, I know Spyhunter is semi-malware itself, eats cpu space and and keeps popping up every half hour demanding payment, but I have it on a leash.  I used AVG PC Tuner to set Spyhunter so it runs only when specifically told to, and then switches off when I've finished with it.]
    Using Spyhunter in this way got rid of the Fake Flash Player hijacker when MalwareBytes, Spybot and Adware-Removal-Tool had all failed, but one of the side effects was that I had to re-nstall, or at least partially re-install, the real Flash Player.  Now, I keep losing my internet connection, and it appears to be happening when I get a "The Adobe Flash Player Update Service service entered the stopped state." system event.
    The outage affects all browsers, and only access to web pages online.  I can still get emails, and open web-pages which are on my own PC, but I lose access to all online pages.  The only cure for it seems to be to re-boot my router by switching it off for a minute, yet my PC's connection to the router seems to be sound, and my ISP's tech team say the router looks fine from their end.
    Spyhunter is a bit over-enthusiastic - it identified a legitimate TextBridge file as a malware of the same name, e.g., so I'm wondering whether in removing the Fake Flash Player infection I've accidentally deleted some legitimate Adobe Flash Player file or cookie, causing Flash Player to switch off my internet connection at the end of every update check.  But if so, how do I fix it?  Is there some way of getting into Flash Player to set options?  It doiesn't seem to have an icon or to appear in the programs list as something you can get at and twiddle with.

    Yep, I've got the exact same problem. I'm using a PowerMac G4, running 10.4.5 (I think). I can't say the problem started happening, since I just started using the sleep function (computer generates a lot of heat in my apartment in the summertime!).
    But yea, I sleep it using the HW button, and bring it back, and no internet connection. I'm not sure if it's the computer (SW caused) or the ISP (disconnects if the computer doesn't respond to pinging). I am using Comcast cable Internet, which is DHCP me thinks.
