MacBook keep disconnecting from LinkSYS WAG325N WiFi Modem/Router

Hello,
I've been using my MacBook for a really long time. Over 1.5 years I had no Wi-Fi connection problems until my US Robotics 9106 Modem stopped working. I bought a nice LinkSYS WAG325N Modem. From that moment on, my MacBook started to disconnect from LinkSYS's WiFi constantly. I used every wep/web2 etc. security protocols possible. Nothing worked.
With my US Robotics I used MAC Filtering which worked perfectly. I did the same settings to LinkSYS as you can guess that didn't help at all...
I did firmware update to my modem, it even got worse so I downgrade my modem to previous version.
I read almost every forum out there, no one has came up with a solution.
If anyone has any idea how to fix this problem, please do so, I need urgent help or else I need to take my modem back before 15th day of using it is over. And try to find some modem that my MacBook would like...
Thank you.

Hello,
Yes I tried with US Robotics, worked perfectly.
It worked at all caffe's wifi spots (I have no info about their modem/router)
Strange enough, I realised that, if I place my old wifi modem next to this one just connecting the power and turning the modem on, somehow macbook connects fine !? it is too weird, and nearly impossible to explain. but if I place these two modems together and connect with linksys, and the other is just on, no connection no nothing just its wifi is on, MacBook connects... but if I leave the room and go to the living room the problem occurs again.
And since all the other windows laptops connecting from living room has %85 signal power this modem is wonderful. But for a MacBook, it is nothing but pain.
If I get a chance, I'll ask a friend to bring his macbook here which is newer (core2duo) mine is core duo and see what happens.

  • Why does my macbook keep disconnecting from my network

    im currently using (borrowing) someone elses wireless internet at the moment but i dont see why my macbook is having trouble with the wireless connection from downstairs when it was working fine for the past week, what should i check for to make sure nothing is wrong??? everytime i try to connect to it, the network disappears from my list of networks, could this be due to two other computers using the network?? im rubbish at computer stuff so i need some tips!
    cheers

    It is very possible that you may have some form of Wi-Fi interference that has been introduced recently in the immediate area that is preventing you from getting a good clean signal to your MacBook.
    I suggest you perform a simple site survey, using utilities like MacStumbler or iStumbler to determine potential areas of interference, and then, try to either eliminate or significantly reduce them where possible.
    Other things to try:
    o Switching channels - In some cases (especially when interference is at play) switching channels on the router can improve reception weakened by various causes.
    o Recycle the AirPort card - You may want to try turning your internal AirPort card off then back on if you are having access issues. This can be accomplished through the AirPort menu item, or using Internet Connect (located in the Applications folder)
    o Disable any third-party wireless applications (monitors/sniffers) - Some third-party applications that manipulate or otherwise interact with the wireless connection may cause problems.

  • Why does my macbook pro keep disconnecting from the internet?

    For whatever reason my Macbook pro 15in keeps disconnecting from the internet everytime it goes to sleep. And sometimes when I wake it up, I have to turn wifi on and off a couple times to get it to detect the right signal. This does not happen with my playstation or my phone so it has to be a problem with the Macbook itself. Can anyone give me any information on how to fix this problem? Anything would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello, amal111.
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Here is an article that I would recommend going through when experiencing Wi-Fi connectivity issues.  Also, make sure all firmware updates have been processed on the router and the settings have been adjusted to the recommended settings in the second article below.

  • Why does my computer keep disconnecting from my wifi?

    Why does my computer keep disconnecting from my wifi?

    Some users with various Wi-Fi problems have reported that they were given the following instructions by Apple Support, sometimes with success. After completing the procedure, you'll have to recreate all your settings in the Networkpreference pane. Make sure you know how to do that before you begin. Taking screenshots of the preference pane may be helpful.
    Step 1
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "SystemConfiguration" selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Reboot and recreate the network settings.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    Step 2
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    Step 3
    Reset the PRAM.

  • Messages and FaceTime keep disconnecting from my MacBook Pro.

    iMessage and FaceTime keep disconnecting from my MacBook Pro. I’ve never turned either of them off on my computer, but every time I turn them back on, they work for about a week, and then I start getting messages and phone calls on my iPhone and iPad but not on my MacBook. Is anyone else having this problem?

    I'll ask the hosts to move this post to Yosemite.

  • MacBook Pro disconnects from wifi and tells me that my password is incorrect

    recently my MacBook Pro disconnects from wifi and when I try to reconnect it says invalid password. I know the password is correct and the network is the right one. I usually just spam the sender key and eventually it connects. but 10 minutes later it will disconnect again and the whole process starts again

  • Time capsule keeps disconnecting from the internet

    My MBP was previously connected to the internet via my sky netgear router, with no issues.
    I have recently purchased a 2TB time capsule and connected that to the sky netgear router via an ethernet cable.
    I then set it up as its own wifi network.  Now it keeps disconnecting from the internet every 5 mins or so.  I know that the internet is fine as I can hook up with my netgear router with no issues.  I cant seem to find any settings to play with.  Earlier posts seem to suggest firmware issues, but since this is a brand new MBP and TC, I can't understand what the issue could be.

    Give us the full blown picture of the network.
    What modem? Is it a router?
    Is the TC in router or bridge mode?
    Can you test with ethernet.. does the same disconnect happen when wireless goes down?
    ie is this a router issue or a wireless issue?
    If wireless can you try setting all that is now auto, to manual settings.. wireless channels.. unfortunately I think wireless mode is no longer accessible. Different names for 2.4ghz and 5ghz.
    There are no new drivers.. That would only be relevant to AC wireless anyway.. or the firmware of the TC.
    But you are running the latest firmware.. 7.7.1 which does mention some (rare) disconnections.

  • PC keeps disconnecting from home hub.

    Got a very annoying problem, for some reason my computer keeps disconnecting from my home hub. Its got much worse recently and I have no clue what is doing it. Sometimes it can stay disconnected for a couple of hours and when you finally get the connection back it says it cant connect to the Internet. Also my network adaptor cant find my hub but it will find my neighbours even though the hub is just down the stairs from my PC. Signal it good-excellent. There are 2 other computers using the same hub but the are totally unaffected by this.
    Would really appreciate some help.

    from your comments I assume you are using wifi 
    you can try downloading inssider3 (istumbler if MAC) and then run it. This will show the broadcasting networks round about you and their channels including your own. If you then enter your router and change your wireless channel to a free or less congested channel.
