Major Wifi issues and 3G issues

Hi,
Let me start off by saying I have been searching for 3 days for help and can find nothing so here goes.
My iPhone 4 will connect to my wifi at home but will not open any webpages. I also have a 3G and a 3GS which work perfectly fine on the network.
I have made sure my router firmware is up to date and have renewed the lease on the phone and tried again, it seems to work for about 2 minutes and then stops, although the wifi icon stil displays at the top.
Second moan is that I NEVER get over 2 bars in 3G unless I go into the Orange shop to moan about it.
Again my 3g, 3gs are both on Orange and they are full with 3G but my Iphone4 dithers at around 1 or two bars at the most... what can i do to improve it?
On a positive note, my free bumper case was delivered this morning

I have since reset the firmware on my existing router after reading that there may be compatibility issues with newer iPhones/OSs and older routers .. I also checked router wireless and network settings against Apple recommended settings on http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199?viewlocale=en_US .. So far, situation appears improved. Let's see if that persists.

WiFi issues with Curve 8530

Hi,
I am having major WiFi issues with my Curve 8530. Everytime I connect to my wireless router, it takes a long time to connect to BIS, and then if I try to use basically any data at all, my router drops my Curve 8530. Sometimes it stays connected, but I cannot use App World at all, and email, and web browsing is all over the place in terms of speed, sometimes it is fast, while sometimes it is slow, and most of the time it stalls while loading a page. How do I configure my router for use with BIS and have it not drop my Curve 8530 everytime I use data over WiFi? BIS works perfectly over my cellular carriers network, so BIS is activated on my device. I have tried giving my BB a static IP, but that did not solve anything. My router is a Netgear WNR2000. Also, I have the latest device software installed on my BB, and all of my apps are up-to-date.

Hi,
Have you had any luck and resolving your problem?
We have a similar problem but it's with iOS devices where only one can connect at a time. We have about 10 that need to connect. All other laptops and tablets connect fine.
Power cycling the AX411 fixes it temporarly.

U410 touch WiFi issues after upgrading to windows 8.1

Hi all,
I have a U410 touch and yesterday I upgraded to windows 8.1
I have major WiFi issues.
connection drops after a few minutes giving limited. troblesshooting resets the adapter saying ''the default gateway is not accessible '' is fixed. But after a few minutes the problem comes back. and it goes like this forever.
I have the Intel Centrino N-2230 and I installed the driver I found here (15.10.3.2).
I''ve tried to uncheck the power management option but the problem is still there.
I also have other issues with the dolby system (I see others have the same problem )and my touch screen is not working.
any help will be greatly appreciated
thanks!

Hi-
I am also running into the same issue with my Lenovo U410 and it is really frustrating. I also have Centrino Wireless chip with driver version 15.10.3.2 and I have windows 8.1
I bought the laptop from Costco and was having similar issues. I sent it back to Costco Concierge who apparently replaced the wireless chipset on this laptop but now I am getting this issue.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

How-to: Fix iPhone OS 3.1 WiFi Issues

I noticed major WiFi issues as soon as I upgraded to v3.1. iPhone would frequently (5+ times/day) drop WiFi connection and keep asking for password everytime!
I fixed this by changing my router's Authentication Type from "WPA2 - PSK" to "WAP - PSK". WiFi is working great since.
Make sure to remove ("Forget this network") the connection, and restart your phone after you've made the above changes.

Ofcourse this may not work for everyone, but it certainly did for me.

I forgot to add that the new update 3.1.2 did not help with any of the problems that 3.1.1 did.

Very strange and very frustrating WiFI issue with U460 Ideapad.

I have been very happy with my U460 up until this point. A very good value I thought.
Problem:
Unit running well. One day my wife complains that the wifi is dropping on her. We reset the router and it seemingly went right back to normal operation.
This continued however, not more than 10 minutes later. I took a look at it and diagnosed it as a wifi router issue. I called my isp and they reccomended I started cycling the channels used on the router to avoid any interference. So I did that.
Absoulutely no improvement. About that time I brought other machines into the mix and they would have no issue at all while the u460 would drop the connection periodically.
So I called Lenovo and they had me remove some bloatware from the computer, I forget the name of the program. They also had me reinstall the drivers for the wifi. This did nothing, but I gave it a day or two to let it work itself out.
Next thing was to flash the hard drive completely. This did nothing. In fact, this made the situation somewhat worse for some reason, but it is hard to really quantify what is "worse". They then sent a box for me to return the machine.
Return 1: From all I can tell they just flashed the hard drive again and put it back in the box. The notes said they saw this issue I saw.
I almost immediately call them up again and they send me a RMR number to send the u460 back
Return 2: Replaced WIFI adaptor and flashed hard drive. Again they note on the RMR that they saw this issue.
This has had no improvement whatsoever.
Further debug steps:
I note that the closer I am to the router the longer the wifi will stay connected, but it will drop out eventually
Ethernet is totally ok. Bluetooth is OK
Seems to disconnect on other wifi access points other than my own.
I am worried to send this back again. I have a lot of consumer electronics experience as I work in support for a major technology firm. To me I have absolutely no idea what the heck is going on. I think the software is clean, and I can't even imagine what the hardware issue would be. From browsing this forum this problem is nearly completely unique except insofar as removing the bloatware which pertains to the wifi.
Any help would be appreciated before I call Lenovo again to send the machine back. The next option is just EBAY as a broken item to recoup some of the cost.

Reset the TC to factory and start again.
Use all SMB type names for wireless and base station.. Not apple type names.. this is more important since Mavericks.
I also recommend different names for the different bands.
So for example.
TC name.. TCgenx (I use whatever the generation number is for the x.. eg TCgen4 or latest one TCgen5)
WIreless name.. TC24ghz for 2.4ghz
TC5ghz for 5ghz
You can also set the channel manually.
If you still have issues.. start with no security and then if it fails to connect there is something seriously wrong with the laptop. Did you upgrade install Mavericks?? That can lead to driver issues.. I would recommend a clean install.

Ios 7 wifi issues with iphone 5 and iphone 4s

I downloaded and installed ios 7 on 3 iphones and an ipad on Thursday. initially after install all devices wouldn't connect to my homes wifi (but other devices in the home are connected and can access the internet with no issue) I rebooted each device and was able to connect problem soved. WRONG this has been an on going issue, most of the time my devices wont even see my wifi network and when they do, I still can't connect. I have reset wifi settings, I have double checked passwords, I have rebooted the IOS devices and rebooted the router (which was likely not needed as my 2 apple tv's, windows 7 laptop, windows 8 laptop and 2 imacs all are connected with no problem as wel as my ps3, and sony smart tv.
So, 1) is anyone else experiencing this issue 2) have you found a way to resolve the issue 3) has anyone gotten a response from apple support i.e. is this s known issue and are they working on an update to resolve.
I guess my gut instinct to wait a few weeks to install ios was right and I should have listened to my gut
Thanks, any help would be appreciated.

I agree, Bluetooth is rubbish since 4.2 The phone won't connect properly with my carkit Parrot ck3000 evolution, when the iPhone 4 connects to the the carkit it resets the volume on the carkit to minimum volume. so every time you get in the car you have to manually set the volume!. fix this Apple and when your at it fix the wifi reception on it too its woeful! For all the mouthing Apple does on their features on the phone, it's pretty weak as a phone!

Can anyone tell me if the majority of the wifi issues are due to 10.4.8?

i.e., have many tested reverting back to .6 or .5 to see if the issue is/was resident then? Is that a possible temporary fix to the issues noted all over this board?
In case anyone wonders, my issues are similar to most others...BOTH my wifes 2.16 Core Duo and my new 2.33 C2Duo are experiencing the same issues. While at school, she cannot see any of the numerous nearby networks. I JUST got her to switch to a mac, and now this. Her old HP laptop saw about 6 or more wifi's nearby before, and most importantly her schools wifi connection. But now that she is on the mac, nothing. SOMETIMES, and I do mean only rarely a few networks will surface, but then disappear again. I decided to take my 2.33 C2Duo down there and see if the situation was the same with me...it was/is. Every now and then I might see a network or two, but not the shcools.
This in addition to dropping off my own home wifi over and over again also. I will get a connection and surf away, and then I notice that the airport icon has lost connection. I click the icon and there is my network, avail as ever, so I select it and surf again...same issue with her laptop and my step-fathers 17 inch Core Duo. We all experience the same dropped airport connection. And I can tell you it has nothing to do with idle time or sleeping. I can be surfing along and sometimes if I pause for less than a minute, the connection is lost. Btw, I also just got my step-father to switch, and while in general he is VERY happy, this is a knock-out blow to the saying "It just works." Uhm, nope it doesn't.
I have tried nearly every "trick" and tech troubleshooting idea I have come across here on the boards...I used to be a Mac tech in CA for about 5 years, working for ABC and Disney, so I think I can count myself amongst the more knowledgable Mac users out there.
So, to sum up again, can anyone tell me if they are having these issues with a version previous to 10.4.8?
p.s. BTW, I just saw the release of some EFI updates for the Mac line-up...I will update my wifes machine and let you know if anything gets better, but my 2.33 says that this update is not for this machine/isn't needed...so this EFI update doesn't resolve anything for me.
Thanks...!
MacBook Pro • 2.33 • 120GB/5400RPM • 2GB Ram Mac OS X (10.4.8) Duo Mac Mini w/2GB Ram, 5g 60gb iPod...

I had issues in 10.4.7 as well as 10.4.8.
My problems occurred at the beginning of 10.4.8, then many users brought light to me using WEP, which was not working that great. I changed my connections to WPA2 and my problem has disappeared. If my problem didn't resolve the way it did, I would have mentioned it the next time I visited an apple store.
The bottom line is that assumptions, complaining, and self diagnostics don't get many people very far and bringing the problem to apple helps them know the incidence of this problem, and helps them develop a reliable solution.
Though some users have reported the "cold shoulder" when reporting Airport problems to apple... I hope you weren't one of them.

IPad mini now terrible to use, apple support no help because warranty is up. All cause by new ios8 update, wifi issues, many apps no longer work, apps that do work now crash regularly and sometimes take several instances and reboots to even open.

Still: Macbook Air 2013 Wifi Issues On Wake-Up (And Partial Solution)

I just got my new MBA 13" Mid 2013 last week (updated to Mavericks), and have been having issues with the wifi for a couple days now. Specifically, when I wake my MBA in the morning, it will have disconnected from my home wifi and will not reconnect again. It can see the wifi (and it did ask the WPA2 password after I deleted the network in preferences), but it will not connect due to a "Connection timeout".
I didn't have these issues with my old MBP 13' Early 2011 (also running Mavericks). Also, this only started after I had fully set up my MBA and replaced my MBP, that is, connected it to the external display, hard drive, etc.
Now, it turns out what I have to do is disconnect my external hard drive and reconnect to the network. What kind of architecture makes something like this even possible? And it's not just me, https://discussions.apple.com/message/23423481#23423481 had the same problem: needing to remove a USB device in order to be able to reconnect to his wifi.
This reminds me that with my old MBP, I had an issue where copying large data volumes to external drives via USB would render the wifi connection unusable. So apparently there is something about Macbook architecture that links USB and wifi.
But why does this only occur after a full night of the MBA sleeping? I guess it would have to drop the wifi for energy saving, which it doesn't do right away whenever it goes to sleep?
In any way, this is extremely frustrating. What is the deal with USB and wifi in Macbooks? I really hope Apple can fix this via a software solution, but to be honest, I don't trust them to anymore. I guess for them this is "working as intended".
Cheers
Nate
PS: Please, do not post any links to "troubleshooting steps I may find helpful". I do not, because they were not.

It turns out the MBA doesn't even have to go to sleep for this to happen.
Today i received a new HDD for my time machine backups, so some data transfer was necessary. I made a 600GB backup from my Mac and an external hdd I use for media files, then i started copying another 500 Gb from one external drive to another (USB to USB).
Now in the middle of this transfer (which is rather slow to begin with at around 46 MB/s) my wifi connection just went out. My iPhone, iPad and Windows PC can still connect to my router, but the Mac tells me to "move closer" to it.
It's interesting that my Mac can no longer see any other wifis besides my own, so I guess it's wifi range is somehow impeded by these USB transfers? How does that even work?
At around 50% the data transfer had come to a complete halt, so I interrupted the process. Two seconds after I had ejected AND unplugged both external drives, the MBA could "see again". All visible wifis were listed again and I could connect without problem.
Is there anyone with a similar experience? Is this a hardware defect or an architectural problem? Why have I had these USB/wifi-issues on two Macbook models spaced lmost three years apart?

When opening safari i get a message that says major security issue please contact apple immediately suspicious activity might have been detected. what is this and how do i get rid of it so i can use my internet?

A misleading and malicious popup. Launch Safari with the Shift key held down; if that doesn't work, temporarily disconnect the computer from the Internet.

Why is apple releasing the ipad4 witha new and inproved wifi attena without addressing the wifi issue in the ipad3

Why is apple releasing the ipad4 witha new and inproved wifi attena without addressing the wifi issue in the ipad3

Jim Level 5 person ....I am very happy for you that your usage will not be affected, please accept my congratulations.
Now I have to point out that going ballistic has certain connotations but posting on an internet forum is not one of them.
I appear to be one of thousands who are all expressing their outrage in a rational and intelligent manner which cannot be said for your lebvel 4 + collegues on this forum.
Finally there has been an ongoing issue wiith the iPad 3 Wifi on certain wifi only models , I have not encountered it and it seems clear neither have you. That of course does not discount the fact that many others have experienced this issue , an issue which may reveal itself to you or I in the future particularly as I have only been using mine for a fortnight.

Mountain Lion and Lion wifi issues

Don't start on me about there being multiple threads on that subject already. I was told by a very respected member of these forums to start my own thread on the issue.
Dropping wifi started with Lion and for the last 10 months with ML. I've been in touch with Apple, they called me after reading my old post and had me run test for them with no help. I've done completely clean installs on newly reformatted hard drive and using a USB drive to install ML. It won't connect to wifi to finish install half the time so other software isn't the issue.
I've tried just about every fix posted. A lot of them with Apple on the phone. I've replaced my router knowing that wouldn't fix it because I take my Mac with me and it drops wifi on any router or network.
I have 2 Macs and only one has ever had this issue.
You don't have to believe I've tried everything, that I've had Apple call me or that I even have the issue.
I've been asked to post the names of the engineers that have contacted me. Why would you need to know that in order to believe me, especially if you admit to not knowing any.
All I want to know is there a fix? Yes/No
Remember it doesn't want to connect on a clean install.
P.S.:
For all those looking for reason's not to help me, my dog is yawning in the picture not growling. Yes I've gotten mad on other threads but how many times can you be called a liar just because their fixes didn't work for me or I won't post engineers names.

Thanks for that list.
Out of all you posted I tried everything with Apple on the phone.
I'm the only one who uses this Mac and I constantly check my settings incase something was changed on it's own because of some app. But I'll lock it after retrying everything over again.
I'll be glad to get it down to once every few days again. I haven't complaned about it in a long time because I could live with that. That's where I was before it went back to dropping constantly. Lets face it once a day would be great. I've had to reboot just trying to reply.
I've started taking some live on line courses so it's not just an announce to me. It started again before I started classes.
The 10.8.3 update made it worse. But not enough to go back to 10.8.2.
My mail program is affected the worst. When wifi drops and Mail is running I always have to force quit. I know that's an affect no the cause.
I do have another Genius Bar appointment for that and a couple of other issues. The first time they denied there were any wifi issues until I gave them the names of the engineers that called me with their email addresses and phone numbers. I've since lost their phone numbers but still have their email addresses. I know one was a CA area code and the Main one was from TX. I have emailed them this week but still no reply.
Like I said once it went down to dropping every few days I didn't care any more.
I'll keep you up to date.

Airport 802.11g and WIFI issues with Apple bluetooth keyboard

Hey guys, this thing start to drive me crazy, I bought a Apple BT keyboard but just recently I started to having problems with my wifi connection and apparently I think this is due to the BT keys.
I started to notice this issue when I moving with the laptop in another room where usually I had maximum Airport signal, now it's happening that the signal start to lose power and when is just to the minimum, internet or other net staff don't work anymore and after 5 minutes of this apparently "freeze" wifi status, the airport loose definitely the signal.
After that I need to turn off the Airport card, most of the time work but sometimes i need to turn off two times to get it works.
After I read different blogs and forum, I tried to change channel, use the interference robustness, anything, and at the ending I reinstalled Leo, still have this problem, so I started to turn off the bluetooth connection and it look's like when the signal start to lose power the network keep working, and than reprise the maximum power.
So I can really fix this issue or is another "well done" by Apple? It look's like the Apple industry getting so close to the trash world! I'm sorry for these last words but my disappointed in Apple getting bigger.
Thank you for anyone helps.
P.S. a friend of mine with a Macbook Pro, Snow Leopard and my same Airport Base station have the same issue.

GuyI just fixed for now the problem turning off the bluetooth keyboard when I have wifi issues, it's the only solutions!

Maverick and wifi issues

Is anyone aware of any particular or specific issues with Maverick and losing connection intermittently with access points / wifi? See link
http://howtoapple.com/mavericks-wifi-issues-fix/
We are experiencing this to some degree with our MACs primarily on Maverick.

Hello RT91,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with connecting to your home network using an Ethernet cable or Wi-Fi on your MacBook Pro. I would be concerned about this too. I found a couple of articles I recommend for this issue.
First, I recommend reviewing this article:
Mac OS X: Troubleshooting a cable modem, DSL, or LAN Internet connection
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1317
This second article has some additional steps specific to troubleshooting Wi-Fi connections. I recommend the full article, but the section titled "Symptom: My Mac does not connect to the Internet" stands out to me for the issue you described:
Wi-Fi: How to troubleshoot Wi-Fi connectivity
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4628
Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Community.
Best,
Sheila M.
