Multiple Devices Keep Losing Wireless Connection t...

We have multiple kids and hence multiple devices, daily, different devices are able to connect and others aren't. The only solution is to reset the homehub and they can all then connect, but it is only a matter of time before connectivity is lost. Happens on all device types, phone, TV, printer etc.
Anyone have similar issues and is there a resolution?

What Hub are you using ?
If an HH4 A or an HH5 A it is best to have different SSIDs for 2.4 and 5 GHz signals.

I have this printer installed over a wireless network. It works great. The only issue I am having is keeping a connection. I have checked to make sure the auto-off feature is not enabled...and it isn't. HP print and scan dr shows it is connected. All other areas is showing it is connected to the network...but the wireless light is still flashing? I have tried changing the wireless ip settings to manual instead of automatic but it hasn't helped at all. when the light starts flashing, the only way I can get it back online is to shut it down the restart it. the last time I shut it down I got an error message on the printer screen - 0X02A6C2ED. I started it back up and it was working fine. I have not had a chance to research this error yet, but will be doing so in a little while.
Does anyone have any ideas what to do to be able to keep a connection? I have tried all the steps listed on the HP support page (unless I overlooked one), but none of them seem to have worked. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi DannyWard
Reset the printer network defaults first. On the printer touch the setup icon, wireless, settings, restore defaults. I would also power reset the router.
I would suggest going through this document for troubleshooting a wireless connection.

I upgraded Lion recently to 10.7.3. Since that time I am having trouble with my wireless connection. All other devices are fine, but I keep losing the connection since the upgrade.

Recently I upgraded Lion to 10.7.3. Since that time I have been having a lot of trouble with my internet connection. I keep losing the connect and have to go to diagnostics and turn it back on. Is anyone else having this problem?
Thanks, Pat

I'm afraid there are numerous threads on here discussing this problem. I posted in this one earlier that has a couple of suggestions, but the real solution will hopefully be provided in an update from Apple:

IMac keeps losing network connection

My iMac keeps losing the connection to my AirPort very sporadically, but very often. I keep having to open Network Assistant, choose the AirPort and the network, and re-enter the password. I then get a message that my network connection appears to be working correctly, which it then is. This could happen several times in a few hours.
I have tried creating a new network, but it still happens. We have 6 other devices on this network and do not have a problem with those devices.
Any advice?

my network is called pegasus. see that it broadcasts on channel 11 (2.4 GHz band) ? see also that there are six other networks broadcasting on the same channel ? now, ideally i would change my channel to broadcast on "5" or "6", but since there are so many networks around, even those would give me interference from other networks nearby.
in the end, i decided to hardwire (using ethernet cables) most of my devices to my router (time capsule) in order to avoid interference alltogether.
also, there could be closed (hidden) networks around that only KisMac would be able to pick up.
lastly, as the read about *wireless interference* revealed, there are other sources that could interfere with your network performance: microwave ovens, cordless phones - heck, even enabling bluetooth on your very own Mac could be a source.
as an alternative to running ethernet cables throughout your place, you could consider *powerline adapters* _*such as these*_.

Airport extreme losing wireless connection with Time Capsule

I have a 1st gen Time Capsule acting as my home wireless network base station which is configured to allow the wireless network to be extended. It is also the sole DHCP server. I have a 4th gen Airport Extreme in Extend a Wireless network mode. Everything was running ok for several months. However, since I upgraded both devices to Version 7.6, the Airport extreme keeps losing its connection with the network every few hours, requiring a daily reboot. Since the problem occured, I have disabled MAC address Access Control on the Time Capsule, and allocated a reserved DHCP IP address for the Airport Extreme - but this has not solved the problem.
Does anyone have any ideas?

I had exactly the same problem. I also think it's a bug in 7.6. It seemed solved by downgrading my Time Capsule (TC) and my Airport Extreme (AE) to 7.5.2. To do so start the Airport Utility (in your /Applications/Utilities folder). Double click on the TC or AE. In the Menu at the top on your screen go to "Base Station" --> "Upload Firmware..." and the select 7.5.2. After rebooting your device, downgrade the other. Hopefully your problem is solved as well!

IPhone 4 keeps loseing wifi connection

Same here. Issue is with random routers not in same household.

I have a Airport Extreme 802.11n and my T.V. is a panisonic,I keep losing the connection. Anybody have any answers?

Plenty of suggestions.. only you can find out which one is correct.
What model AE? What firmware?
Since Panasonic TV is not apple it will use SMB windows type networking.. everything but Apple does.
Are the names in the AE all SMB compatible.. ie short.. max about 20 characters.. no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
Is the security set to WPA2 Personal with a pure alphanumeric password of 10-20 characters.. more is fine if you suffer paranoia but isn't needed.
Fix the wireless channels.. so it doesn't flip flop like a dying fish.
There are only 3 channels for 2.4ghz that do not overlap, 11, 6, 1 although someone suggested 8 works well if you have heaps of interference. If you live in flat/apartment building you have heaps of interference.
Lastly is it stable if the distance is 3M direct line of sight?
If not then get a high power wireless AP and use that instead.

I keep losing the connection on my apple mouse

I keep losing the connection to my apple mouse. The batteries are ok, but the connection still drifts in and out. Any suggestions?

You say the batteries are okay.    Here are a few notes I've put together.
Whether you use regular or rechargeable batteries you should buy the best. Discounted or unbranded batteries are more likely to give a depleted performance and may be of irregular size, often leading to connection problems.   Apple’s own brand, Eneloop and Energiser appear to be the best.
Rechargeable batteries for the standard Magic mouse are unlikely to exceed eighteen days before needing a recharge although the mouse itself can be a limiting factor.   I have seen reports that some Logitech mice vastly exceed this.    Apple may suggest more in their sales blurb but this is a realistic expectation.   The benefit (if you are organised) is that you can always have charged batteries available.   Regular batteries will give you between 25 and 35 days before they need to be replaced.
Note. Never mix old and new batteries or rechargeable and regular.   The notes above are based on my personal experience, not shutting down my machine and using it for around four hours per day.
Note.   Monitors do not always faithfully report battery strength, particularly the rechargeable ones.
When checking your mouse or keyboard batteries ... Turn off the device. Remove the batteries, Clean the terminals both inside the battery compartment and the batteries themselves. Replace or renew both batteries. Turn on the device.   You should get a blinking green light if the device is paired. Click the mouse to activate it. The green light becomes steady.

HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus losing wireless connectivity, cannot scan to computer

In our office, we have roughly 4 computers using the HP Officeject Pro 8600 Plus, all of which are connected wirelessly. The printer was previously connected to the internet wirelessly with no problems. A couple of days ago however our computers started randomly disconnecting. The printing function would work for a bit, then disconnect. I found the only solution to this problem was to hit the button on our wireless router that resends the wireless signal out for connectivity.
We hardwired the printer with an ethernet cable and I myself didn't see any further problems regarding connectivity but a couple of the other computers had spotty connections. Again, each time this can be remedied by hitting the button on the wireless router.
Today however we had an additional problem, after trying to scan a document through the automatic document feeder, the printer said it was jammed (although it wasnt). When we went to rescan, the scan to computer function was no longer working. I can scan by hitting the scan button on my HP Printer Assitant interface, and I can also scan to email, but cannot scan to computer.
I have gone through several forums and haven't been able to find a solution. I personally use Windows 8, but other people in our office are using older versions of Windows. We've tried unplugging, restarting, hardwiring, resetting wireless settings, uninstalling, etc. etc. Before a few days ago the pritner was working fine for a number of months.
If anyone has any ideas they would be greatly appreciated.

Hi rtaw,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that you cannot scan to computer, and that you are losing wireless connectivity, with your HP Officejet pro 8600 Plus. I am happy to help you with this issue!
Please take a look through this wireless guide. Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.
For the scanning, please see this guide. A 'Connection Error' or 'No Computer Detected' Error Message Displays during Scanning.
Hope this information helps you, and let me know if you have any more issues!

Can't re-order my queue on Netflix and keep losing the connection

I'm having so much trouble with Netflix! I can't re-order my queue, I keep losing the connection, and it's painfully slow. Is Netflix known to be unstable on iPad? Other internet connecitons seem to be fine.

I rarely have problems on it - I do occasionally have drops in video quality, but nothing consistent. It does require a very strong and stable network connection, and I also wonder if they have periodic "crush time" incidents on their end, considering the rapid growth of Netflix streaming.
Updating the queue is a pain on it - you can't do it on the app, and have to go to their website. I generally find it easier to do on a computer.

HT3887 My iMac won't communicate with my mouse. It keeps saying "wireless connection undiscoverable". This is the first time I have set up my equipment after having a Data Transfer session yesterday. It's a brand new computer. How can I fix this?

How do I get my iMac to communicate with my mouse. It keeps saying "wireless connection not discoverable". Thanks

Hey Jeanette
If you have a USB mouse handy, you can plug it in and use it to navigate to the Bluetooth settings in System Preferences to get the mouse to pair again. There are also troubleshooting steps in the article below for getting the mouse to pair as well.
