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.

Had this problem ever since changeing to the home hub 5 / infinity a couple of weeks ago.
Devices such as my laptop and the sky wireless adapter (for getting on demand etc) keep disconnecting from the home hub and i keep having to reconnect them. Its really annoying, the sky wireless adapter disconnect every couple of days and i have to re enter the wireless key.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

ATV3 after 5.1 upgrade keeps disconnecting from home sharing

Hello,
I have had my setup now for about 6 months without any issues. I have an ATV3 connecting to iTunes home sharing on Win7 64bit. The Win7 is directly connected to my router via Gbit hardwired network. The ATV is connected over wireless 802.11n to the same router. The router is a D-link, DIR-655 I think. I upgraded to 5.1 on Fri, when the problems arose. When I start to watch a movie, it will disconnect after a period time (between secs and mins). I need to wait a few secs, then the computer will be listed again and I can select the movie and play. After a period of time, same thing. This keeps happening over and over again. I was running the latest 10.6.x iTunes on the Win7 box. I tried upgrading to 10.7, and same thing. I have rebooted everything multiple times (ATV3, router, Win7 box). Please help, getting really frustrated with it.
Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark,
Should be quite staright forward. First download the ver 5.02 for the ATV. idownloadblog is a good place. Once done open iTunes and plug the ATV in to to your mac using a micro USB. Once connected plug in your power cable. If the ATV does not show up in your devices press Menu and Play together on the ATV remote. It should now be showing in devices. Hightlight the ATV in devices then hold down the ALT key and click on restore. You should now have an option box come up were you can select the file you downloaded. Choose file click ok and follow the on screen prompts. Once it says restore complete you should be ready to go. Good luck.
Regards
Mark

Z10 keeps disconnecting from home wifi network

I just switched from a Samsung Galaxy to a BlackBerry Z10 a couple of days ago and I am having trouble with my home wifi. The Galaxy never had issues with it and stayed on constantly but the Z10 connects for a few minutes and then disconnects again and won't re-connect unless I reboot the router. I made sure I had the latest firmware on the router and updated the Z10 software as well. Apparently there is some setting on my wifi that was ok for the Galaxy but not ok for the Z10 and I hope someone can help me figure it out. Nothing else is using the wifi and the signal strength is very good.
What happens:
The phone connects successfully to the wifi. I open the browser and go through a few pages and then suddenly a page won't load at all. Sometimes the phone says it is still connected to the wifi and sometimes it sends me a message saying that the network has limited access to some websites. Sometimes it will instead switch to 4G. It doesn't only happen when I use the browser. Sometimes I am not using anything on it at all but just look at it and see it has switched to 4G.
I go into the settings and I see that it says my wifi network is disabled. I enable it again and confirm all the settings are fine and try to connect. Sometimes it goes through three attempts and then gives up. Sometimes it only tries once and gives me a message that it is unable to authenticate against the network and that I should verify network security settings and try again. No matter how many times I try, it does not connect until I log in to my router and reboot that. Then it connects immediately without my having to do anything.
So I am pretty sure this means a problem with my router settings.
I am using WPA/WPA2 - Personal security and confirmed that setting and the password on the Z10 are correct.
On the Z10, "Auto Obtain IP" is on.
I always have trouble with network stuff and it means little to me so, if anyone knows what is going on, please don't give me technical jargon! If you need more info, I will provide.
Thanks! I don't want to have to take it back but if it won't work for me, I might have to get another Samsung instead.

An update, in case anyone else is experiencing anything similar ...
After troubleshooting with various technicians at various companies, it appears the problem was actually a faulty router. I don't understand why my Samsung had no issues with it (or my laptop) but when I replaced it with another router I had kicking around, the BlackBerry had no problem connecting and it has been about three hours so far without disconnecting at all.
I suppose I'll come back here if the problem recurs but, in the meantime it appears to be just one of those weird things. So I guess the moral is to try everything, even if you don't think it could possibly be the cause, because you just never know.

Why does my mac keep disconnecting from my Wifi?

After downloading Yosemite, my computer (macbook pro) keeps disconnecting my home wifi. I had no problems with my wifi before and my roommates have no problems with it still (they do not have macs). This is only happening at home though, when I go anywhere else, my wifi stays connected. I have tried deleting/forgetting my wifi network and reconnecting, restarting my computer, i searched through my settings but I don't know what to do. It disconnects like every two minutes. When it disconnects and i go to reconnect, the wifi is still there and has full bars, my computer just doesn't stay connected to it. If anyone has any idea what to do that would be awesome!

Hey sydthekyd5,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with your home Wi-Fi network. Check out the following resource for relevant information regarding your symptoms:
Wi-Fi: How to troubleshoot Wi-Fi connectivity - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202222
Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly
- Your Mac may not not stay connected to your Wi-Fi network reliably.
- Your Mac may stop accessing the Internet during use.
Solution
Use these steps if your computer disconnects from its Wi-Fi network unexpectedly.
1. Check your range to the Wi-Fi router and reduce the effect of interference.
If your computer is too far from your Wi-Fi router or your environment has too much Wi-Fi interference, then your computer may not detect the Wi-Fi network properly. The easiest way to check for range limits with your Wi-Fi network is to move your computer or your Wi-Fi router closer together and make sure that there are no obstructions (such as walls, cabinets, and so forth) between the router and your computer.
See Potential sources of wireless interference for more information about interference and solutions.
2. Try connecting to a different Wi-Fi network. If your computer works fine when connected to a different Wi-Fi network, then the issue may be related to your network router or ISP. In that case, contact the manufacturer of your router or your ISP.
Thanks,
Matt M.

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.

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.

Smart Watch 3 keeps disconnecting from phone

My swr50 keeps disconnecting from my motoG phone. I haven't figured out the circumstances for this...it seems random...I realise that I haven't had any notifications for a while, and none of the "OK Google" stuff works.My phone app says that it's connected, but it clearly ain't!

I wonder why it would disconnect that much,no problem like that on Z1. Do you have any task killers or antivirus?
What about stamina?

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.

HP Photosmart Premium C310a printer keeps disconnecting from my network.

My HP Photosmart Premium C310a printer keeps disconnecting from my network. I have tried disconnecting my Firewall and AVG virus software, all to no avail. Can anyone help?

This is an issue I have seen multiple times, and telling people to check their network settings, or to fix wireless settings does NOT address the root cause of the problem.   For those who are English-impared, here is a very clear explanation of what is going on:
The printer is REMOVED from devices and printers, seemingly at random.    This is NOT a problem with "The printer is not printing", where fixing the network or resetting IP addresses will fix it.   The printer is GONE, and needs to be added again.
I know networking, and at no time should a loss of connection cause the printer to just be removed from Printers and Faxes, Printers, or anything like that.    If the connection is lost, the connection is lost, but the printer SHOULD still be set up in Windows, just pointing at the wrong place(if the IP address has been changed).
I suspect that it is more likely that the HP Update software is the culprit, and will test that theory today with a customer who has this problem.    It also seems to be limited to the HP Photosmart line of printers, since the Officerjet line does not seem affected by the bug.
