Periodically loose visibility to wireless network

Peridically, I loose visibilty to the wireless network. I have another computer using the same network where this does not happen? This happens on a laptop which does connect to multiple networks in its trouble.
Not sure why but the problem goes away when I restart the computer?

access the router using http://192.168.1.1 ... Keep the username blank and password is "admin" ..
try changing the wireless settings on the router
change the channel - 1 or 11
change the advanced wireless settings
beacon interval - 50
fragmentation & RTS - 2304
if it still does not work , then try updating the drivers for the wireless card on the laptop ..

  • Apple TV gen 3 - AirPlay not visible on wireless network

    Hi,
    I've just bought a new Apple TV gen 3 however I could not get the airplay to work properly (both on my iPad 2 & iPhone 4s).
    A little background info regarding my current network setup, due to the location of my room from my living area I could not get strong signal from my wireless network. To solve the problem I've installed an additional access point in my room with different SSID but utilizing the existing internet access via a powerline network adapter. This has solved my wireless coverage issue within my home.
    As my Apple TV is installed in my room, I connected it to the wireless network in my room. Everything is working well (i.e. access to internet, connecting to my iTune account etc and YouTube are no problem) except AirPlay. I can't see the AirPlay icon on both my other apple devices. However, I can use the Remote app on my iPad to control my Apple TV but just cannot use AirPlay to stream anything from my other devices to Apple TV.
    I tried everything such as reset the Apple Tv & reinstalling its software, soft resetting my other devices and forgetting the network etc but to no avail. I suspect that the problem may be related to my wireless network so I tried connecting the Apple Tv to my original wireless network, it can connect but the signal is rather weak. I then connect my iPad to the same network. This time I did get the AirPlay to work but due to the weak signal on the iPad using the original wireless network AirPlay keeps dropping off nd when it works it is very slow.
    Is there any ways of getting AirPlay to work properly over the new network in my room which has much stronger signal if I connect both my oPad nd Apple TV  to it? Pls help....

    Hi jcool17,
    Thanks for replying. Yes I do have 2 SSID broadcasting and all my devices are apple devices are connected to the same SSID which is in my room but AirPlay won't work.
    No, my current wireless devices in my room is not Apple. Used to have an Apple Airport Express but it died on me after 3 years. Got a good deal on a Dlink which I bought to replace the The AE.
    And yes, AirPlay is turned 'on' on my Apple TV.

  • Why does wireless on my Time Capsule (2TB, 3rd Gen) drop the wireless network now?

    Starting a couple of weeks ago, my Apple Time Capsule (2TB, 3rd Gen) has been dropping the wireless network almost daily.  I end up pulling the power cord to restart it.  I've had the device for what I think has to be about a year and a half already, and it's been working flawlessly until now.  I have it on 802.11N (dual-band), using WPA2, with an average of about 7-8 client devices at any one time throughout our home.  The problem doesn't appear to be any one client, since all lose connectivity at the very same time.  The Time Capsule LED is still green when it's down, and again restarting it solves the problem.  The device is out in a well ventilated area, and doesn't feel like its overheating.  Devices using Ethernet to connect are unaffected (other than losing visibility to wireless network elements).  It can occurn at any time, day or night, seemingly at random.  The Airport Utilty advises that I have the latest firmware version (7.5.2).
    Anyone have any idea whats going on?  Having similar problems?  Fix, workaround, suggestion?

    Try setting the wireless to manual and fixed channels.. the auto channel swapping does cause issues.. I would also give different names to 2.4ghz and 5ghz so you know clearly which wireless you are connected to.
    But sometimes they do just go bad.. power supply is not robust. They do become unreliable.

  • I have iphone 4 and it connect to some wireless networks and some others are not visible while other lphones can find these networks and i tried to restart the phone many times and there is no result, kindly advice

    i have iphone 4 and it connect to some wireless networks and some others are not visible while other lphones can find these networks and i tried to restart the phone many times and there is no result, kindly advice

    Some updates and clarifications:
    1. I already have my 2.4 channel fixed.
    2. Wireless network name is 8 alphanumeric characters; no spaces
    3. Already using WPA2 security with a 10 alphanumeric key (again, no spaces)
    4. I am running Airport Utility 6.0, Mac OS version 10.7.4
    I should also say that these problems started happening less than a month ago...prior to that all devices where working normally.
    An added update: My two e-readers (nook ST and Kindle 3) are also refusing to connect...perhaps confirming that I have 2.4 GHz issues?

  • Time Capsule wireless network not visible.

    I have a first gen TC which up to today was working great.
    Today it was very, very slow on the wireless side but ok on the wired side.
    I restarted the cable modem and the TC, after which everything looks okay - but the wireless network is not visible to any of my devices.
    I have restarted it three times, reset it to factory and reconfigured it, switched the network settings to no security and other things but my iPhone, my iPad and my MacbookPro do not see the wireless network regardless of the security option or the networking type - N-only or B/G compatible.
    As I say it was fine until I returned from vacation today.
    Any thoughts?

    OK, so I have done this and it's made no difference. The new network Apple Network b73829 is still present alongside Wireless LAN.
    I can only access Time Capsule if I switch to the new network, with the resulting loss of internet access from my Powerbook and, if I switch back to Wireless LAN I regain internet access but cannot see Time Capsule.
    Although I just want to use Time Capsule to back up I have tried to connect it to my wireless LAN using the Join Existing Network on Airport Utility (even though I've been told I don't need to do this for Time Machine) but it has failed each time. After entering the password and wireless password information etc. and pressing update the Time Capsule device does re-start but there is ALWAYS an error message that says the device cannot be found and I should check that I am close to it (it's 3 feet away) or I should connect via Ethernet. If I connect via Ethernet it seems to disable the wireless functionality that I bought the device for.

  • Wireless network only visible on Mac but not PC

    Hi all,
    I replaced my Linksys router with an Airport Extreme.
    I configured a wireless network and I can see the wireless network on my MacBook Pro. However, while my PC's can still see the old Linksys wireless network, they don't pick up the wireless network of the Airport Extreme.
    Has anybody had the same issue? Any ideas?
    Thanks!
    -Bernd

    No, I'm running in 802.11n (802.11b/g compatible) mode.
    The firmware version is 7.0.
    Do you have another suggestion?
    Thanks again,

  • No Wireless networks found (WIFI adapter not visible)

    From 2-3 days , my laptop's wifi adapter was disabled automatically. 
    The wireless network doesn't showing WIFI option. 
    Therefore I am not able to connect to any WIFI network.
    Please help

    Hi @21_95,
    Thank you for your inquiry.
    I grasp that your wireless was automatically disabled and you are unable to enable it.
    If you check Device Manager is there any errors on it?
    You can check this setting also while you are in Device Manager.
    Click on the network adapters to expand the list.
    Right click on the wireless adapter and choose properties.
    Click on the power management tab.
    If allow the computer to turn off this device to save power is checked please remove it .
    Repeat that process for any additional network adapters.
    Here is  link to HP PCs - Troubleshooting Wireless Network and Internet (Windows 8) that may also help.
    As this is a recent occurrence you could test for a hardware failure of the card.
    HP Notebook PCs - Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 8)
    You could also try a HP PCs - Refresh Your PC to Resolve Problems (Windows 8) which will reinstall your Windows but should not affect your files.  I do suggest that you do a backup of your files just to be on the safe side.
    Good Luck!

  • My wireless printer appears as offline on my Macbook, despite being visible on the network and printable from a Windows laptop on the same network. Was fine previously. Any thoughts?

    I have a MacBook Pro running 10.6.8.
    I have a wirelessly networked printer (HP PhotoSmart D110).
    All worked well until a couple of months ago.
    For reasons unknown, I stopped being able to print wirelessly to the printer from the Macbook. It appears as offline on the HP Photosmart utillity that pops up.
    I can print to teh same printer from a Windows PC on the same network.
    I have also logged onto the printer, using it's IP address and printed its test page, so obvioulsy not a printer fault as such.
    The old PowerBook on the same network doesn't print to it either.
    Grateful for any thoughts for quick tests or tips.
    Paul.

    Nice one Ron, you're a star.
    That was a complete fix.
    My preferences was slightly different, but it was the same approach.
    I had 4 printers listed. Some old ones that I no longer had and the one that didn't work. I deleted all of them, then hit '+'.
    It came back up, searched for new drivers, then I was able to print as per normal.
    Result.

  • Wireless networking loosing network

    OSX 10.4.7
    MBP
    so I am working with an MBP and I have only one wireless network at home but many neighbors have wireless.
    I am finding that my wireless connectivity to my wireless router gets lost from time to time.
    I want to automatically reconnect when my wireless router is reachable again.
    How do I configure this option?
    Currently I dont connect to any wireless network and it is up to me to manually choose the SSID from the list again.
    Clues please?
    thanks in advance,
    Noah

    Hello Noah.
    This should already be configured.
    Go to System Preferences > Network.
    At Show:, select Airport.
    Under the Airport tab at By default, join: is Preferred Networks selected or Automatic?
    When Preferred Networks is selected, is your wireless network the only one listed?
    In addition, do you have Enable interference robustness selected?
    What brand and model wireless router are you using?
    Have you tried disconnecting or turning off the wireless router for several minutes and then turning it back on allowing it to reset?
    If a 3rd party wireless router, have you checked the manufacturer's website for an available firmware update for your router model?

  • HP Officejet 6000 E609n stops printing periodically on wireless network

    I have a Dell laptop with 64 bit Windows 7 on our wireless network.  I recently installed this printer on the network. It will print documents I send to it, and then suddenly subsequent documents pile up in the printer que and have "error" listed beside the document names.  When I troubleshoot this problem from the printer window, it cannot resolve the problem. The blue wireless light is not on, and pushing that button does not turn it on; I can fix it, by unplugging the printer and plugging it back in, then the blue wireless light comes on, and it prints all the documents in the que, and will continue printing new docs sent over to it for a while, and then suddenly they pile up in the que, and it will no longer print until I unplug it.  Could a firewall be the cause or what?  I get no messages from the printer telling me that the document failed to print.

    I have thesame problem with my c6180
    I have to re download the driver. then it works fine foe a while and quits. i redown load the driver and again it works for a while.
    if this keeps up i will never buu an HP again

  • Trouble connecting iMac to wireless networked HP printer -- printer not seen in

    HP Photosmart Premium 410

    I am trying to connect a new Mac with OSX 10.9.5 to an HP Photosmart Premium c410, which is on an existing home wireless network and functions properly with other (Windows) computers in the house. I am following online instructions to enter the Apple System Preferences>Printers and Scanners>+ menu in order to add the printer, but the printer is not visible. If I use the "print sheet," the HP printer shows as a grayed out option and a message that the printer has been offline for more than a month. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

  • WRT54G2 V1.0 Wireless network problem

    Hi,
    I am having a strange problem with the wireless network on my WRT54G2 V1.0
    Each night I completely switch off the power to the router, because there is no need for it to be turned on when I dont use it.
    When I turn the power back on the next day, the router starts up normally, and after a couple of minutes I am able to connect to its wireless network from my laptop and phone.
    But after some time, I loose the connection to the wireless network. If I search for available wireless networks on my laptop, I can still se my router, but when I try connect to it, I get an error saying that it can not connect.
    If I then turn off the power again and turn it back on, the wireless network works again. And this time it works without any problems and disconnections.
    Said in short: Each day I loose the connection to the wireless network, and I solve it by turning the power off/on.
    So why do I loose the connection the first time the router is turned on each and every day?

    Well, I experienced the following yesterday:
    When I got home, I turned on my router. Made sure that my iPhone had its Wi-Fi turned off. Played on my console for a few hours, which is connected to the router by wire.
    Later on when I turned on my laptop, it was not able to connect to the wireless network. As usual my wireless network was visible, but I was not able to connect to it.
    So it seems like I loose the connection to the wireless network after some time, even if I dont use it after I turn on my router. And the issue does not seem to have anything to do with several wireless devices which are connected to the router.
    Do I really have to give up, and either have the router turned on all the time, or get use to make a reset of the router every day?

  • Wireless Network monitor cause holes in Desktop

    On my computer I have dancers that periodically dance on my desktop. It is live action video as opposed to animated cartoons.
    When the Wireless Network monitor is running it cuts a hole in the center of the screen rendering any animated object/person transparent right where the square whole is. BAsically its seems to be cutting a whole through what I guess is a DirectX overlay. Its definately the Wireless monitor as this does not happen when it is NOT running. Anyone else run into this and is there a solution? Ifact it cuts a whole into everything for a moment. I just opened Nero and the square hole was visibly retaining image data of the previous window for just a moment. its just that its easily seen when the screen needs to redraw
