Macbook Pro Wifi Keeps Disconnecting

Ever since I got my new BELL Router, I've been having these constant WIFI disconnects. It would stay on for about 30 minutes and disconnect by itself.. anyone have any solutions to this problem?

Since it started when you replaced your router that sounds like a router problem.
Have you contacted your router manufacturer?
Also.
This is the Mac Pro desktop forum. I requested your post be moved to the MacBook Pro laptop forum.

  • My Mid 2010 MacBook Pro wifi keeps disconnecting, and doesn't turn back on. Help.

    *Mountain Lion 10.8.2*
    Here's what's happening:
    I'll be browsing the internet probably surfing reddit (because what else do college kids do right?) and I'll click one of the links I'm interested in:
    The page won't load at all, as if I have NO internet connection.
    Click the wifi icon in the status bar. Before several networks (not just my current network) would show up. Now ONLY the network I'm currently connected to shows up.
    Turn off the wifi to try to "refresh" it.
    Turn Wifi back on. Now it will say "Searching for network" and show that I'm connected to a network, but the bars never fill the status bar icon. If I go to System Preferences > Network and try to turn on the wifi there it lets me click the button, but nothing happens.
    Get frustrated that the wifi WILL NOT TURN BACK ON and restart computer
    Start browsing the internet again or doing whatever college students do on the internet until it disconnects again.
    See 1
    What I've done to try to aleviate this:
    Made a genius bar apointment. I'm out of warrenty, but he did confirm for me that my wifi card is working as expected, and it's not a hardware issue, but more than probable a software issue. He did some cool trick where he went to Library>Preferences>System Configurations and deleted the entire contents (I think this is where the network information is stored according to some of the plists I looked through) then restarted the machine and everything seemed to work ok for a while, but the problem came back. I actually still do this sometimes when it happens but results seem to be the same every time (Plus I have to re enter network information when I do this).
    Genius bar guy suggested that I try reinstalling Mountain Lion. Didn't want to get rid of my data, so I just did an install over my current build. This took some time, but it seemed to work for a while, but alas the problem came back.
    Genius bar guy suggested (as a last resort) a fresh install. So That's what I did. I backed up my computer (Really I just coppied my documents folder and music folder to an external. I did not use a time machine back up because "ain't nobody got time for dat") and I then formatted my hard drive (Which is an SSD if that may have anything to do with anything), and installed mountain lion again. For a while things seemed good, but the problem came back.
    For clarification:
    It has happened on multiple networks, not just the same network.
    On top of that, every time it happens I have other devices connected to the same network and they work fine.
    It has not always happened, this recently started about 2 weeks ago.
    I have not recently installed any software that could have possibley done this (I use mostly MAS store stuff with the exception of Bartender, TotalFinder, and xQuarts, but all 3 of those had long been installed before I had to format my machine)
    I can't really force the problem, but it seems to happen sometimes after the machine falls asleep, but I know for a fact it's also happened mid use (as described above)
    Can anyone give me any kind of clue as to what is happening, why, and how I can fix it?

    Years of fine internet use via WIFI then randomly it starts dropping then one day (weeks later) it is no longer accessible at all and even saying "No hardware installed" when I click on WIFI icon at the top right on screen. Here is how I finally fixed it!:
    For six months I wallowed in this problem and had to connect my macbook pro to the internet via ethernet cable which as you can image was very restrictive :/
    I have had numerous laptop technicans befuddled by this WIFI problem and most concluding with how my WIFI card must be broken and that I will need to buy a new one. The last suggestion I had on the matter was to buy a USB wifi dongle.
    So I ended up buying this one, http://www.asus.com/nz/Networking/USBN10_NANO/Unfortunately my macbook pro didn't want to read the install disc and it didn't autorun so it didn't work. After reading more forums I saw that you could download the program from the net and sure enough it worked.. BUT STRANGER when I took the USB dongle out the WIFI was still working!! The program appears to have reminded my four year old macbook pro that it is indeed WIFI capable.
    So to find this miraculous program its located herehttp://www.asus.com/nz/Networking/USBN10_NANO/HelpDesk_Download/
    Same link as above just under SUPPORT>Driver&Tools
    You then click on a file when its downloaded and a file called MAC will appear, then click on install. Within 5 minutes you should have your WIFI back. My macbook pro crashed again today but without having to get the shortest ethernet cable you've ever seen out again - I was able to install the program again and WIFI was up and running once more. Moral of the story - didn't need to spend any money to fix this and not even using the USB dongle.
    So happy!! Hope it works for you too!
    This also worked on a MacBook that lost its WIFI when a user accounts password was changed and the keychain password wasn't known to them - another random way to lose WIFI apparently

  • Macbook pro 13" keeps disconnecting

    airport is disconnecting. When I try reconnect it will ask me to spacify the network, then will ask for the password.after specifying and entering the passwordI click enter, it wiil come back and say wrong password. Although I can see I have entered the correct password.

    I'm seeing this with my 802.11ac Airport Extreme, too. Is that what you're connecting to?
    Do you have any other devices which are having this problem with your base station? If other devices are okay and only your Macbook Pro has the problem then it's not your access point.
    Once my Mac starts disconnecting and needing the password, my other devices have the same problem, so it's definitely my access point. Power cycling the Airport Extreme solves the problem for me but there's got to be a better solution.

  • WiFi keeps disconnecting in Mountain Lion 10.8.2 on Macbook Pro

    I have an early i7 2011 Macbook Pro. Since upgrading to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 my WiFi keeps disconnecting. There isn't a certain time it disconnects - sometimes it works fine for a few hours, sometimes for just 10 minutes. When the connection is lost, it shows that its connected in the taskbar at the top, however when going into network preferences it shows the WiFi as turned off. In order to turn it back on I need to restart the Mac.
    I have tried the following:
    reset SMC
    delete network preferences
    create new network connection
    add DNS servers
    Add manual MTU
    Require password to turn on/off WiFi / change network (still disconnects!)
    Change order of preferred networks
    I phoned Apple Care who told me to delete the network preferences, this worked for about 5 mins and then the problem returned!
    I cannot change the router settings as I connect to my employers network. All other employees using Window machines are working fine and my iPhone connects perfectly fine also.
    Somebody please help me! I feel my only option now would to do a clean install - not ideal! Apple, please HELP.
    Merry Christmas everyone.

    Hi - I have the same problem with my MacBook Pro mid 2010 which drops the wifi connection randomly (not necessarily when I move it or the lid - see other posts on this) and then often ends up freezing when I try to investigate.
    I installed Mavericks to see if that would resolve the issue but it doesn't.
    Somebody in one of these posts suggested it might be a faulty connection between airport card and mother board... which I suppose could be caused by a jolt to the machine (mine travels as hand luggage on planes every now and then).
    I am running OS X 10.9 on a 13 inch Mid 2010 MBP with a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and 4 GB 1067MHz DDR3 memory.
    If anyone comes up with an answer to this PLEASE post it here so that we can all resolve our wifi dropping/freezing issues!
    Thanks

  • Strange macbook pro wifi problems - selective wifi disconnection

    I have 3 macbook pros, two iphones and an apple TV.  My primary macbook pro has some very unusual wifi problems that are hard to pin down.  It frequently disconnects and reconnects itself to the internet constantly throughout the day.  I've been testing it in various ways and today I noticed the strangest anomaly by far. 
    While working today, my primary macbook pro could not connect to the internet through any of the 3 browsers I use.  Airport Utility said the internet was down (internet icon was amber, airport icon was green).  However during this disconnection, my p2p application (Soulseek) experienced no disruption of service and continued to download files.  I opened my second macbook pro and strangely enough, the 2nd mac was able to connect to the internet through browsers without issue, and the airport utility on the 2nd macbook pro said the internet was connected.  My Apple TV was connected too as well as my iPhone.
    It is often difficult for me to troubleshoot network problems because there are so many variables (ISP, airport assembly, airport base station, OSX, airport utility, modem) but I guess in this particular instance, it seems clear that the problem has something to do with my macbook pro.
    My primary macbook has always had wifi problems (and honestly, my last macbook--the one that actually worked today!--had similar issues back when it was my primary laptop).  Last week, my primary macbook pro had the topcase, display and logic board replaced by Apple.  When it came back, it had the same wifi connectivity issues it always had.  Often, a restart will be a very temporary fix, but not always. 
    I am at a complete loss for what could be causing these lapses in service.  In fact, right now as I was trying to access these forums, I could not even get my primary macbook to open the Apple Support Site on any browser.  Every other website would open, except Apple Support.  I opened my 2nd laptop and it opened Apple Support just fine.  After 15 minutes, my primary laptop finally opened up an Apple support page in Firefox. 
    It is really hard to diagnose the problem.  I find that Airport Utility has been so pared down and streamlined to the point that it is worthless.  It is basically a blank window with 2 application logos inside.  It looks very simple and user friendly until it has a problem, and then it tells me to do something very technical without an explanation for the layman (such as assigning DNS servers or putting the airport in Bridge mode).  I always follow Airport Utility's advice, but I still have odd problems.  I am often confused as to whether I should use Airport Utility or the Network button in System Preferences.  They have the same options, but they're arranged under tabs with different titles.
    Anyway, does anyone recognize these macbook pro wifi connectivity problems?  Constant wifi disconnection on one machine (while all others experience no connection problems) coupled with instances of selective disconnection (like browsers not connecting while p2p is able to connect or browser connecting to some sites but not all?)
    Thanks for any help or guidance

    Same exact issue here. It happened once when I updated to Mavericks 10.9.2. It just happened again last night and I can't seem to fix it.
    I tried all sorts of things like deleting the SystemConfiguration folder, PRAM, SMC, DNS flush, etc. Nothing helped. As I recall, the last time it happened it mysteriously fixed itself after a day or two.
    Very weird problem. I have been troubleshooting computers my whole life but this one is tough to figure out. Other machines in the house connect up just fine.

  • I have just used air display with macbook pro. i have disconnected now from apple tv. but my laptop screen is still very small like its connected to the tv. this means all the tabs and writing is very small, how do i full disconnect my laptop?

    i have just used air display with macbook pro. i have disconnected now from apple tv. but my laptop screen is still very small like its connected to the tv. this means all the tabs and writing is very small. like the display down the bottom where al the applications are, is n the middle of the page and not spread down the bottom. this is seriously annoying! all the writing is every small and the tabs are small and its hard to read.  the air display link has disappeared from my computer. but the laptop screen is still very small. i want to know how do i get rid of this and return my macbook screen to its normal size. thank you

    Hello chrispyw,
    If your content is still being displayed incorrectly, I would check the resolution setting for the built in display with this article:
    OS X Yosemite: Adjust your display’s resolution
    If it keeps happening whenever you use AirPlay then I would use this section of the following article to reset the display system:
    Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
    Reset the system
    You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.Reset the resolution
    Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
    Start up in Safe Mode.
    From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
    Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
    Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
    Restart your computer.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

    I only have 1 apple ID and the same was used to set up this early 2011 macbook pro and iPhoto app. I don't want to loose out on any photos. I tried logging out of app store and back in but no luck. PLEEAASEE HELPP!!!
    This problem has been reported by quite a few forum members, who skipped the update to iPhoto 9.5.1 while running Mavericks. In that case try to purchase iPhoto again instead of updating.
    After making your backup try the following:
    Uninstall iPhoto by deleting it from the applications folder, but do not empty the Trash.
    Launch the App Store, click the "Store" menu, and sign in with your AppleID.
    Open the main page of the App Store and search for iPhoto.
    If iPhoto is listed as "Free", click the "Free" button to buy it with your current AppleID.
    If it is not showing as free, there is no help but contacting the App Store Support, as Niel pointed out: http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact/

    I have been using Mac Book Air 11" since April 2011 which came with Snow Leopard pre-installed. Since the time I bought this I have been unable to get connected to the Mac Apps store. I had no such problem with my MBPro. Recently I have upgraded my MBPro to Mac OS Lion but unable to do the same on my Mac Book Air. Please suggest how I can get this done.
    Thanks.

    How to install Snow Leopard on Macbook Pro? keep getting msg- cannot install Internal HD is used for Time Machine- this was reset to external HD and still get msg?

    At some point, your internal HD was selected for use as Time Machine backups, and a Backups.backupdb folder was created at the top level.   So OSX thinks you're trying to install it on the same drive as your backups.
    Open your internal HD with the Finder (you won't find it via a Spotlight or Finder search) and delete that folder.

  • TS1398 Hi. My wifi keeps disconnecting. I kkep turning the wifi on and off in settings but will disconnect again after a minute or so. I use an ipad2 and my ios is updated. How to troubleshoot? - kay peralta

    Hi. My wifi keeps disconnecting. I keep turning the wifi on and off in settings but will disconnect again after a minute or so. I use an ipad2 and my ios is updated. How to troubleshoot? - kay peralta

    Is this happening with one particular network or with all?  Make sure iOS is updated on the device.
    Try this:
    Reboot ipad by pressing and holding both the home and sleep/wake buttons at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go. Then try to connect to network.
    Go to settings, Toggle airplane mode on/off. Make sure bluetooth is off. Turn on wif (airplane mode off). Try to connect.
    Reset Network Settings
    Go to settings/general/reset/reset network settings. Then try to connect to network.
    If its your home router, then reboot router by unplugging for 5-10min. (do this while you're resetting network settings).
    If problem persists, then check for firmware updates on your router.(you check router manufacturer support website for downloads and instructions).

  • I installed indesign CS5 on new macbook pro and keeps freezing with spinning wheel once the app opens. Is there an issue with OS Mav or font issue or a plist I can pull. All other Adobe products work.

    I installed indesign CS5 on new macbook pro and keeps freezing with spinning wheel once the app opens. Is there an issue with OS Mav or font issue or a plist I can pull. All other Adobe products work.

    Migration should never be done with any Adobe program.
    If you have done Migration, you have to UNINSTALL first (if even possible) and then download Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool and run that also. When this is done, restart your computer and install the programs from an original Adobe Installer.
    Other question is, if your OS is supporting that version. You can try it, it is not officially supported, but it might work.
    But CC will work, upgrade to CC2014 (without additional cost), use that as it is better anyway.

    If you have been using the same settings since forever, open

    ... and use the Setup Assistant to set it up again from scratch, including a completely NEW "Location".
    If yopu still have problems, downlaod iStumbler to look around at what other devices are around you, what channels they are using, and what the signal levels and noise levels of thi=ose devices versus your Router might be.
