Lost connection when neighbors start WiFi router

Am going crazy with this:
I am in the suburbs and was the only person with WiFi nearby. Recently 2 other people got WiFi as well, and it seems that when they start their WiFi routers, I lose my connection.
My setup: 10.4.7/PowerBook 17"/Airport Express.
I can be working, and then suddenly lose connection. I go to the AirPort menu, and suddenly see one or 2 other networks, but mine is gone. The attempts then can take up to 30 minutes to resolve (apparently thru voodoo) but my feeling is that when they go offline and switch off, I can get back online!
Not good! I have Interference Robustness selected, but am at a loss what to do...
Anyone with any ideas?
Thanks
Peter

Hi,
Try to change the channel of your wireless router. If you have the option with your router; preferably set the channel to "automatic".
If you are in the case that you can no longer connect to your router wirelessly, use an ethernet cable to be able to access to router and change the channel.
hope this help,

I have a 3rd generation iPod Touch and just did the update to IOS 5. Now I can't connect to my Netgear wifi router. My iPhone connects fine along with all of my other laptops etc. I have the router set with WPA-PSK [TKIP] security and an access list.

I have a 3rd generation iPod Touch and just did the update to IOS 5. Now I can't connect to my Netgear wifi router. My iPhone connects fine along with all of my other laptops etc. I have the router set with WPA-PSK [TKIP] security and an access list. I've confirmed the mac address is included on that list and that the password is correct. Under choses netwrok I select the network and it just goes into a spin. I have tried removing the password and the access list settings and it still will not complete the connection to the router thus no internet access. The routers firmware is also up to date. This thing worked fine before this update and I've already tried to restore from backup. Any ideas or is the wifi nic bad in this thing with the new apple firmware update? Any fix?

Thanks Bob, I don't know why but it all of a sudden worked a few days later. It's a mystery but at least problem solved.

Im Using iPhone 4. i connected to my home WiFi router for browing internet.. Sometimes its automaltically disconnected and must i off and on it again for using.. why its happening?

Look on the support pages for your WiFi router for a firmware update for the router.
It's hard to say much more without knowing the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

Apple Wireless Keyboard lost connection when "command+space" is pressed

Hi, my apple wireless keyboard lost connection when command and space key was pressed. it does not lost connection when other keys combination was pressed. Are there any people has the same problem with me?
I am using Emacs all the time, the command and space key is the default short cut for Mark in Emacs. It is constantly used in my daily work. The wireless keyboard does not lost connection always, but it does lost connection sometimes. I have observed every time it lost connection, the command + space was pressed. Really strange. Any advice?
I am using Macbook Pro 13inch Late 2012, OSX 10.9.1, and Apple Wireless Keyboard

Got the keyboard working again, here how incase it can help anyone else:
I borrowed a USB keyboard to allow me to get past the pasword login.
First I rang disk utitlity to repair any permissions. I opended up the app 'Bluetooth Setup Assistant' selected 'Keyboard' then I turned the keyboard 'on' so the green light is flashing' and then hit continue. At this point the keyboard appears in the listing of found items, hitting continue I am then given a unique pairing code. Enter this on the keyboard and hit 'Return' after a few seconds, the pairing is complete and by wireless keyboard is back and working again!

Connecting T5 to Netgear WiFi router

I have been trying to connect my T5 using the Palm WiFi card to my Netgear DG834G ADSL WiFi router and have read the very helpful check list provided on your site as well as the other correspondence. I started with the usual problem of the thing disconnecting after trying to download the IP and worked up to manual entry of IPs and DNSs etc.
So far I have :-
Found the T5 MAC and entered it as a trusted device in the router.
From the router itself I have found :-
The two DNS values (these are for the ADSL port?)
The hex 128 bit Key (all 4 are the same) and checked it against a separate key generator using the phrase I entered when I set the router up with the P.C.
The following IP address information:- For the ADSL port:- the IP address and it’s mask, network type (PPPoa), the IP address for the gateway and the two DNS values. I have also found the IP address for the router LAN port.
Loading these in various combinations into the T5 setup in manual causes the unit to seem to log on and display the field strength. But Blazer etc does not work. If I change the WEP key to make it wrong it logs on in the same way, which is very suspicious!
I have managed to get the T5 to download the IP address in auto (after setting it as a trusted device in the router) by switching to ad-hoc and it returns a message saying that it has "connected". Checking the network "info" in prefs/WiFi then shows an IP not found in the router information with it’s mask. However, no DNS info or IP address in the line called "Router" shows up and although the response from Blazer is different (quick connect and URL rejection), nothing works. Manually entering the DNSs with auto IP recovery in ad-hac did not change anything.
I have been through entering the WEP key in hex etc.
Of all the IP address information available, which ones should be entered in the three fields required on the T5? The DNS values relate to the ADSL port. Is this OK.
I would welcome any suggestions. I have yet to try it at a remote site, but I am sure the basic kit is OK, just finger trouble !!!
Thanks in advance

Russel, you haven't mentioned if you have the router's comm. speed set to be compatible with an 802.11/b device.
Do you have this setting correct?

My Deskjet 3050 J610 will not connect to my Virgin WiFi router for use with Apple Mac laptop.

I live in the UK and have Broadband access via a Virgin connection and WiFi router. My Apple MacBook laptop connects to the WiFi with no difficulties. However I have an HP Deskjet 3050 J610 printer which will not connect to the router. When I try to connect, the blue light just keeps on flashing but a connection is not found. Consequently my MacBook cannot "see" the printer on the network. Any suggestions? Thanks!

See if this helps.
Printer does not maintain wireless connection.

Repeated lost connections when using WRT54g

Hello everyone.
I have a Lynksys WRT54g v5 and a cable modem, my ISP is Virgin Mobile. Every half an hour or so my internet connection is lost and can only be regained by reseting my modem by turning it on and off. The lost connections appear to occur more frequently when the traffic is heavier. The interuptions occur even when I only have one wired PC connection.
If I connect the PC directly to the modem the connection works fine.
I have already installed the latest firmware, reset to factory settings, tried a MAC address clone as suggested in another thread but nothing has helped.
Is there anything I can try or should I just bin the router?
Thanks for your help!

Version 5 and 6 of this router are of a terrible design. No amount of tweaking, reconfiguration or firmware upgrades will likely help with the disconnect problem. Earlier versions are of a much better design. I had disconnect problems with my version 6 router for over two month which could not be resolved by many attempts through Linksys tech-support. Even replacing it with 2 more version 6 routers did not resolve the disconnect problems which occured 3 or more times a day.
After I changed to a version 3 of the WRT54G the disconnect problem was instantly cured. Version 4 and below or WRT54GL ( which is really a resurrected version4)should work fine.

Macbook pro fails to auto connect Internet after rebooting wifi router

My macbook pro with retina can’t automatically connect to wifi after the wifi router was rebooted.
There is exclamation mark on wifi sign. As the picture shows, when I clicked the wifi sign, it shows no Internet connection. However, It is strange there is a tick in front of my wifi name. Moreover, in preference set, it shows a confused self-assigned IP address 169.254…(showed in picture). In order to use wifi, I had to turn wifi off, and then turn it on. And the correct IP address for my mac should be 192… (showed in picture).
I had tried to delete my preferred networks and tested macbook in my friend’s home, but it still failed. This bug happens in my friend’s macbook pro with retina (same to mine) and macbook air. However, the previous version, Macbook pro (not retina), has no this problem.
This happened just when I reboot the router. It is normal working (connect automatically) when I come back home. Appreciating for any way to solve it!

I have no clue of what an Airport antenna is either. I know my Airport Extreme does not have one.
Try the basics first:
Change your router channel number. Most times this works & is all you have to do.
Disconnect & reconnect your modem. unplug it for about 10 seconds. Plug it back in. Do the same for Apple’s routers. Wait for everything to reboot.

Problem with iPhone 5: Wifi Only Works When Close to Wifi Router

I've recently updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 6.0.2. I am actually having a problem with the wifi connection. In which, I can only uses the wifi when I'm close to the wifi router.It seems when I'm further than about 2/3 meters away from the router I get no connection, and then sometimes (not often) I get it and then it goes again.
Any suggestion on how to fix that?
Thanks.

Having exactly the same issue, WiFi on 6.0.1 worked fine for me. Now I have to be sat next to the router. I've tried forgetting the newtworks and joining them again and no joy. I had 4 known networks and none of them work. Will there be an update for this? 6.0.3? Or are we stuck with it?

Not receiving text messages while connected to a certain WiFi router

Hello. When I am connected to my WiFi router at home, I don't receive all texts that people send to me on my iPhone 5S. When I disable WiFi, texts works just fine and this only happens while connected to my router at home. This also happens to other people who connect to our WiFi network on different versions of iPhones, such as 5C. I figure it must be the router, so are there any settings I can edit on the router or my phone to solve this issue?

It's imperative you receive all text messages! Are you only missing out on iMessages? ( text messages between other iPhones ) Does this also happen on other Wi-Fi networks? If you have an opportunity I would suggest resetting network setting, http://vz.to/1lBMRdc

Connecting fiber modem to wifi router

I am usually pretty savvy with networking but this one really has got me. I have searched all over teh Intarwebs with no success solving it. I need the help of my fellow Mac-o-philes.
Basically, here's the issue. I'm in Mexico, and I want to set up a VPN (specifically HideMyAss, HMA) so that I can use my Roku and generally stream things from the United States.
TELMEX has given me a Alcatel-Lucent I-240w-q router which connects to the fiber line they have run to my house.
Separately, I bought a ASUS RT-N16 wifi router because that is the one that HMA says can be programmed to be the central "tunnel" into their VPN. I upgraded the RT-N16 firmware to DD-WRT's most recent build.
I have access to the config sections of both routers so I can modify their settings at will.
So what I need to do is connect the Alcatel router to the Asus router in such a way as I can use the Asus router as the primary access to the Internet (I wanted to set this up BEFORE I get the HMA subscription so that I could confirm it worked before I shell out for HMA).
I would deeply appreciate any assistance at all in setting things up so it goes through.

Really, nobody?

Unablr to connect when using the Linksys router

I'm using the WRT54Gx2, version 2 router and have configured it per the directions and with a computer directly connected and logged into the router it connects to SBCglobal just fine. When I try to connect to the internet with the computer (not a wireless connection) it will not connect. I'm using a new computer running vista - if that makes a difference. I also tried connecting using another computer running xp and it will not connect.
Any suggestions?

If it's a speedstream or westell modem, you'll need to change the router's address. Do you need to click an SBC icon or enter a username/password to get online on the modem or is it automatic?
The box said windows xp or better... So I installed Linux!

Wireless connection between D-Link WiFi router and Time capsule stopped working

We have an ISP provided D-Link wireless router (DIR-615) to which we wirelessly connected our 2Tb Time Capsule for back up and to connect a USB printer to out network. This worked perfectly for 3 1/2 years, until about a month ago, when the time capsule suddenly decided to go "off line". ie we could no longer access it or the printer via our wireless network. We had changed nothing - just one day it stopped working.
We tried to get it back online with no success. As the 2Tb Time Capsule was almost 7 years old and had had some HDD issues in the passed, we figured it had got old and died and that it was time to replace it; so we bought a new 3Tb Time Capsule, thinking this would get everything back to normal.
However much as we tried, we were also unable to get the new 3Tb Time Capsule to connect wirelessly to the D-Link wireless router. The Airport Utility did not show the D-Link wireless router or its wireless network, although we were (and are) able to see it in Systems Preferences>Networks from all our multiple devises. This in itself seemed odd. No matter what we tried, the Airport Utility would not find the D-Link wireless router and hence we could not add the 3Tb Time Capsule to the existing wireless network.
At the end of the day we got fed up with trying to add the 3Tb Time Capsule to the D-Link wireless network, and connected it via a LAN cable to the D-Link router instead. We then set it up as its own network. Worked gerat. Having done that we thought maybe the old 2Tb Time Capsule might not have been the problem after all, so we tried extending our new 3Tb Time Capsule wireless network using the 2Tb Time Capsule wirelessly. This worked perfectly! And we are now almost back to what we wanted.
So although we have a work around, this means now have 2 separate wireless networks as opposed to the original single wireless network where everything talked to everything else.
Can anyone shed any light on any of the following:-
1. Why the original wireless network connection between the D-Link router and the 2Tb Time Capsule just stopped working? Was there some software change from Apple that "decided" D-Link wireless routers were no longer secure; and therefore the TCs could no longer connect to them?
2. Why it was not possible to extend the existing D-Link wireless network using the the new 3Tb Time Capsule?
3. Is there is anyway that we can get back to a single wireless network based around the D-Link wireless router as the primary router connecting to the modem, where the 2 Time Capsules connect as "wireless satellite base stations"?

1. Why the original wireless network connection between the D-Link router and the 2Tb Time Capsule just stopped working? Was there some software change from Apple that "decided" D-Link wireless routers were no longer secure; and therefore the TCs could no longer connect to them?
A firmware update to the TC came along and you agreed to it without perhaps even noticing.. it then smashed your setup because Apple do not recommend the setup you were using and it is very poor.
2. Why it was not possible to extend the existing D-Link wireless network using the the new 3Tb Time Capsule?
Because it is such a poor setup that Apple have taken away your ability to choose it unless you know exactly what you are doing.
3. Is there is anyway that we can get back to a single wireless network based around the D-Link wireless router as the primary router connecting to the modem, where the 2 Time Capsules connect as "wireless satellite base stations"?
Yes, this I can help you with.
I have several ways around the problem.. but the first one is.. why use the DIR-615 at all.. it is not a modem.. it is a very ordinary bottom end, poor single band slow wireless router.
Why don't you simply remove the DIR-615 from the network completely.. plug whatever it is the ISP supplies you.. an ethernet connection from whatever that modem is you mentioned into the WAN port of the Time Capsule. And use the TC in some router mode.. same as the DIR-615 was setup.. dhcp or pppoe or whatever.. I doubt the TC cannot match it.
If you have issues please post a few screenshots from the DIR-615 to show how it is setup from the WAN side.. and as long as you are given the username and password or whatever the ISP uses to authenticate then chuck out the DIR-615.
Tell me if that is a goer.. if not we can work out a few other methods..
eg. Simply turn off the wireless in the DIR-615. It is poor cf the TC and there is no need for it.. with the TC in bridge only use the TC for wireless as well as wireless extend with your old TC.
Or setup roaming network where everything uses the same SSID.
Then you will have one wireless network. And it won't matter what as long as it connects.. although IMHO this is not right as the TC is such a superior router now you are wasting your new TC.

Create connection when ocj4 starts

I had set a datasource in data-source.xml.
<data-source location="jdbc/test" class="com.evermind.sql.DriverManagerDataSource" password="tiger" xa-location="jdbc/test" ejb-location="jdbc/test" connection-driver="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver" username="scott" url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:orcl" inactivity-timeout="30" name="Oracle 9i" min-connections="5" max-connections="10"/>
Now the five connections are established when the applicatoin accesses the datasource.
Howerver, I hope the five connection are established when server starts.
How shuold I setup the server?

290092,
I couldn't ascertain, from your post, what OC4J (stand-alone) version you are using (or perhaps you are using the Oracle Application Server?), but if you have a recent version, you can either use a "startup servlet" or a "startup class" -- which is activated when OC4J starts up, and open your database connections there.
I believe you should be able to find more detials from the OC4J Home Page at:

Good Luck,
