My Second Mac computer keeps getting bumped from my home network

I use an Airport Extreme Base Station with my Comcast modem. These are hooked up to my main computer, which is a Mac Pro. My second computer, in the other bedroom is an iMac. The iMac keeps getting bumped and even fails to recognize the network at all on some occasions. I have performed updates on both computers as well as the Airport and the iMac is still getting dropped. Is there anyone out there who might be able to share their insights on this? I would greatly appreciate it.

Welcome to the discussions!
Open Airport Utility (Hard Drive > Applications > Utilities) and click on Manual Setup.
Click the Internet icon at the top of the setup page
Near the bottom of the page, check Connection Sharing. It should be set for "Share a public IP address". Update to save any changes.
Power down your complete system for 10-15 minutes.
Start the modem and let it run at least 5 minutes, then start the Extreme and let it run a few minutes, then your computers.
Any help?

  • Keep getting dropped from my server

    Why do I keep getting dropped from my server? We have 3 computers in our house - all on our wireless router - I have the only Mac and I am the ONLY one experiencing this problem! After using the internet for any length of time, if I let the computer set idle for a short period of time, a window comes up saying Safari cannot find server! This will happen everyday - ALL DAY - and I'm really tired of restarting my computer (which can't be good) I have looked at other FAQ and I saw where someone else was having this problem but when I tried the downloads that was recommended to them, it came up that my computer did not support that download (or something like that). Anyone have any suggestions????

    I have the same problem as you, I found that disabling the IPV6 setting and resetting the PRAM helped a bit.
    How does it work on your Macbook, on mine if I leave Network Diagnostics open flickers on and off constantly.

  • Connect iPad to MAC computer and get this message: iTunes could not connect to the iPad because the device timed out.  ??

    Connect iPad to MAC computer and get this message: iTunes could not connect to the iPad because the device timed out.  What is the likely problem???

    Eject the iPad, quit iTunes, restart the Mac and reset the iPad and try again. Use another USB port on the Mac if you have a free one to use.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad start up.

  • My computer keeps getting kicked off wifi and says there is a connection timeout.

    My computer keeps getting kicked off the wifi- it's not s problem with the wifi because all my other wireless products are working just fine. What could the problem be? It will connect for about 5 seconds and then says the there is a connection timeout.

    Delete the Wi-Fi connection in the Network preference pane, then recreate it with the same settings. Any difference?

    Stop answering calls with blocked numbers. If it's someone who really wants to talk to you, they'll leave you a message and you can call them back.

    i also have tried downloading "FaceTap" application to get facetime on my ipad and failed too. i thought i failed because i couldnt download latest 6.0 iOS or later. i downloaded latest software update for iOS but was 5.8 I think

    Wait until Apple fix it. See: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/systemstatus/

  • Mac mail keeps sending emails from different accounts even though it says correct email in "sent" folder. Recipients reply and it goes to different email address. So confusing.

    mac mail keeps sending emails from my different accounts even though it says correct email in "sent" folder and correct email account was highlighted. Recipients reply and it goes to different email address. So confusing and annoying.

    Hi Mike,
    I had the same issue and managed to solve it.
    Go into Mail>Preferences>Accounts
    Then in the account information tab, at the bottom should be outgoing mail server (SMTP) and click the drop down box
    Mine had a few different servers in it so i went into edit SMPT server list. Click advanced and it will tell you which ones are going from which email address.
    Delete the ones you dont want, and it should work or instead of deleting click use only this server, i imagine that will work to
    Hope This Helps

  • I keep getting emails from Apple support about changing my password.

    I keep getting emails from apple saying someone is trying to reset my password when I have not done such a thing. A couple days ago after the 4th email I decided to reset it myself just incase. Now im still getting a email from apple stating that someone is trying to reset it.

    Apple do send out an email if you change your password that is genuine
    You could change the password to see if the emails are genuine or phishing by getting a genuine email from Apple
    No way otherwise if you cannot tell if they are genuine or otherwise

  • New rMBP keeps getting bumped to Hotmail mobile site

    Hi all
    Since getting my new rMBP whenever I try to access Hotmail I keep getting bumped to the mobile site rather than the regular one. It seems to happen with both Safari and Firefox. My white MacBook with Snow Leopard doesn't have this issue, strangely.
    Anyone else experiencing this and have a suggestion on how to fix the problem?

  • Why do I keep getting disconnected from Ichat?

    why do I keep getting disconnected from Ichat?

    Try logging on to AIM on port 443 rather than port 5190.
    Go to IChat in the menu bar > Preferences > Accounts.
    Log out of AIM and then use the Server Settings tab
    Set the port to 443(press return/enter(you might have to tick and untick SSL for 443 to stick)).
    Log back in again.

  • I am on a wireless network.  Why do I keep getting messages from iTunes stating that I am not?

    I am on a wireless network and keep getting messages from ITunes stating that I am not on a wireless network.  I know the wireless is working.  Itunes will not allow me to rent a movie until i get on the wireless network of which I am already on.  Help.

    I just bought two song without problem, then i tried to get the video of the week (free) in canada and I had the same message as you.
    the video is just over 50 MB, which is the new limit for file size for App on IOS over 3G and LTE.
    I tried on my iPhone same thing. I even put it in the Airplane mode, and then activeated the WiFi
    with the same result.
    I then bought another song, smaller than 50 MB and it worked.
    My video is not listed as Bought, and it is not available in the "Check for available downoload"
    Did any of you had tried to buy something under the size of 50 MB ?
    Try the free song to see if is it seize related.

  • Trying to update itunes on XP keep getting message "could not access network location iTunes\." Any ideas?

    Trying to update iTunes on XP. Keep getting message "could not access network location iTunes\."
    Any ideas

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
