Personal Hotspot driving me crazy wont stay connected!!!!!

I can not stay connected to personal hotspot for more then a minute or two and it keeps disconecting. I have searched all over and seen other people with the same problem and no solutions. Please someone help. It was working and I was able to use it to stream and download things on my computer. I was hoping to use personal hotspot also to update to iOS 5 as the wifi where I am is pain stackingly slow! My phone is not going into sleep I have tried playing music in the background,playing games at the same time, and have had auto lock turned off. I have left it on the personal hotspot screen also. Nothing with work and its driving me nuts that I can not figure this out. I have unlimited tethering set up and would like to watch netflix,hockey games and do my update. Please someone help with this or at least just let me know there is no solution.

Does your Laptop loose wireless connection or it's just your Wii ?
Have you tried resetting your Wireless Router ?
If your Laptop is also loosing the Wireless Connection then problem will be with your router, else it could be Wii...

IPad 2 wont stay connected to wifi after iOS 6 update

Since my latest update a few weeks ago, my ipad wont stay connected to wifi networks. Has anyone found a solution to this? Why would the latest update have impacted this function?

I tried the suggestion, from another post, to reset the network settings and that did not work.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

HELP!! Macbook wont stay connected automatically to wifi? why?

I live in apartments with tons of wifi signals. I have a secured wifi and no matter how many times i enter my password and everything my macbook wont stay connect automatically to my home wifi.
I have to use diagnostic assistance every time to connect to my wifi. It wont work. I have read some of these other forums but the suggestions don't work. Tried adding unsecured wifi signals to preferred and move to bottom and mine to top. no luck. I don't understand the DNS option so i didn't try it. PLEASE HELP SOMEONE, ANYONE
THANKS!

When you live in an area with lots of wifi signals you are in a situation that may cause degradation to your own wifi network.
When the 54g channels were created it turned out only 3 of those channels can be used, 1, 6 or 11.
all the other channels bleed.
So you should use a wireless sniffer such as air radar
Then look for the 3 strongest signals that are close to you. Then change the channel your wifi is broadcasting on to channel number 1, 6 or 11.
Unfortunately you may find that no matter what channel you use you are going to be close to someone else on the same channel.
The solution is to upgrade your network to a wireless N network. Using the 5ghz high band channels you have many more channels to use.
regarding your network diagnostics dont list any other network other than your own in the preferred networks. Regarding DNS your router should automatically assign a dns server.

Ipod touch wont stay connected at home

Ipod touch 5th gen wont stay connected to wifi at home while it is locked. this inhabits me from getting alerts when i want them most, at home. it stays connected the the server at school and at all my friends houses, but not mine here at home. i did the network reset on my ipod and it still disconnects. any ideas?

Power off and then back on your router
Get a new router.
Since it only happens with your home network that indicates a problem with your home network

My personal hotspot is showing that it is connected to my other device but when I try to connect to Facebook or anything web related it won't connect to the server. What could be the problem?

I currently had my personal hotspot turned back on. I have it connected to another device ( which is my daughters Htc hero.) I have done this before so she could get onto Facebook ect. So my problem is it is showing we are connected but her hero won't connect to anything that requires Internet. I've tried everything but all I get on her phone is error could not connect to server. Any help would be very grateful!

My WiFi hotspot only works right after rebooting my iPhone 4S. Upon attempting to reconnect after that initial session, I can only tether using a USB cable... Not good enough Apple!
I took my phone to an Apple Store on the weekend and had it completely reset. That has made the phone faster but it hasn't resolved the hotspot issue.
It seems that the issuei is in the OS itself, so I'm holding out hope for a fix soon... I'm holding off on an upgrade to iPhone 5 until I'm completely satisfied that I won't experience these problems again...

Personal Hotspot disappears from Kenwood DNN991HD. Connects once then if Kenwood turned off then back on later iPhone shows as out of range until hotspot is switched off then on. Have reset net settings. Kenwood connects automatically to other saved

If I start my car in the morning the Kenwood unit will connect to my iPhone and the network functions all work. If I shut the car off for a while and restart the network list on the Kenwood shows the iPhone as out of range. I have to cycle the personal hotspot on and off...sometimes a few times before it shows up again available in the network list. It works fine when connecting, disconnecting, reconnecting automatically to my home WiFi Network.
My iPhone is also connected to the Kenwood with Bluetooth...would this make a difference?
I have tried resetting network settings but the problem remains.
Anyone with ideas how I can fix this

Hello bobbenedetti,
At this point. due to the nature of your issue, you may find more information by using another one of Apple's support resources - https://getsupport.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.action.

TS2756 iOS personal hotspot does not let any device connect after a connection from a 5 GHz band

I used my iPhone 5 with latest iOS version. When I connect my iphone to a 5GHz band at home and then ON the Personal Hotspot (PH), my ipad mini retina can't connect to the wifi of the iphone, it said "Unable to connect". I tried it with my laptop and got the same result. But if I disconnect it from the 5GHz and reconnect to a 2.4GHz band (at home too), then turn on PH, it will let other device connect normally.
I know that I can solve the problem by connect to a 2.4GHz and then turn on PH. But the problem is when I go out, every wifi around me is password protected, and I need to share PH to my laptop. it just won't connect. Do a Network reset solve the problem too, but when I come back home and connect to my 5GHz band, the problem still raise, PH will not let any device connect to it until I connect my iphone to a 2.4GHz and then turn on PH again.

Hi, thanks for your answers.
I have tried bluetooth tethering and it does work, but often i find has the same issue after a few minutes or if i let my device sleep, i have to reinitiate the hotspot. Whats worse is that i can go into the hotspot settings sometimes and it says "NOW DISCOVERABLE!" but nothing can see it, not my iPad, not my laptop, nor any other wifi enabled device until i toggle Hotspot off and on again.
Also, distance is an issue. Occasionally I like leaving my iPhone to charge on my desk to charge as tethering beats the battery up and if i go to the room next door, the bluetooth drops. If i don't come back within range in a few seconds, the hotspot becomes undiscoverable and I have to go through the process again. Overall this has not been a feasible solution for my issues.
As for resetting the network settings, I had to do this initially when I upgraded to iOS 5 as the Personal hotspot setting disappeared entirely. I had to do a full network reset, and reboot my handset once more for Personal hotspot to even return as a usable option but it didn't help the flakiness. This isn't an iOS 5 new issue though, as i said, it's been happening since 4.3...
All these super annoying first world pains eh? Again, thanks for your feedback but it doesn't help my particular issues.

Personal Hotspots Now Listed Under WiFi - Cannot Connect

Strange problem.
I have an IPad Air that I enable Personal Hotspot. Works great on my Mac, works great on an iPhone 5s, works great on iPhone 6 Plus. On iPhone 6, I cannot connect. All iOS devices are running iOS 8.0. Strange thing, on the one that it is not able to connect, there is a new "Personal Hotspots" area under WiFi. The other devices have the Personal Hotspot show up with the other WiFi hotspots - these can connect without issue.
I thought there was a new feature in iOS8 that allowed one device to automatically enable the hotspot of another iOS device, so I tried disabling the personal hotspot on the iPad Air and get the same error. See enclosed pictures, notice how the iPad Air shows up in two different locations, when under WiFi, it connects. When listed under "Personal Hotspots" it does not connect.

In Settings -> Cellular
I get:
Cellular Data (on)
Enable LTE (on)
Data Roaming (off)
Cellular data Network (for APN option)
Call time
Cellular data usage
User cellular data for...
Reset statistics
That's it

AIRPORT WONT STAY CONNECTED

AIRPORT WONT STAY CONNECTED

Sorry, but that's not a lot of information to be able to help you. By AirPort are you referring to the built-in wireless in your Mac or one of the AirPort routers? If it is the former, what is the make & model of the wireless router that you are attempting to connect it to? If it's the latter, what is the model of your AirPort and what are you trying to connect to it that won't stay connected?

My ipod touch 2nd gen wont stay connected to wi-fi what can i do ?

As title says my ipod doesnt stay connected, it will disconnect from it so i would have to go to settings and choose the wifi i want and i would have to repeat this process over and over. Also when i use safari it will happen a few times but then it would stop so me using safari somehow makes my ipod stay connected to wifi.
(sorry if some things i say dont make sense or if i didnt type a certain word right my english is kinda bad).

Start with a system reset. It's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the reset doesn't help, go here for heavy-duty assistance.
Post back with results.

IPhone 3G wont stay connected/powered?

Hello,
I've an iPhone 3G (yes its old want an iphone 4 but can't afford one) I update it to the latest iOS in iTunes last night i have only just updated to iOS 4.2.1 i was running 3.x something however i updated it last night.
However since i have updated it my iPhone will no longer stay "connected/powered" when plugging into the wall charger it's fine on USB but don't wanna charge via USB in computer everytime.
I plug it into the wall charger it has the battery with the battery icon what appears when charging then it vibrate and disconnects and then vibrates twice and starts charging then it vibrate and disconnects ect.. over and over again.
What could this be? was fine till i updated to iOS 4.2.1 last night in iTunes.
What i've tried
- Restarting (off for 10mins then turning iphone back on)
- Tried other wall sockets around the house.
Device;
- iPhone 3G
- iOS 4.2.1
* The charger is the adapter with usb cable one that come with the iPhone when i brought it.
Edit;
found https://discussions.apple.com/message/12724318#12724318 also.

Ok, ive restored now...and the phone wouldnt connect to 3G, but this was before i set up as new iphone. So im doing that now in the hope that it will work after everything has been sorted...but im not holding much hope for it to work.
How annoying, i honestly wouldnt care half as much if there was an explination for it all...a reason. but there isnt, it just happened.
iv been intouch with my network provider to see if theres anything that can suggest....such as sending my phone away to apple. because im totally puzzled as to what is wrong and why its happening.
anyways, thank you VERY much for your help and your time.

External wont stay connected thru airport

I have an external hard drive connected wirelessly thru my airport. I have always had issues with it staying connected, so much so they replaced my airport. Now that I have upgraded to SL, the problem has gotten way worse, it stays connected for maybe 20 minutes, then I have to restart in order to get it to connect again. Anyone have a work around for this? Or a better suggestion of how to connect it? I have the airport joining my wireless at&t network... Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Yes, it connects via USB to the airport, but it uses the power of the airport. When I purchased the drive at the Apple store, they were aware that it was going to connected that way, so I hope thats not the reason! thanks!
