Portege Z30T-A-10X Wireless connection unstable

Hello Forum Users!
I'd need an advice for dealing with my wireless adapter. It connects OK when the laptop is after restart, but if I resume it from sleeping mode, it has problems to connect to any wireless network. Usually it connects after 10 minutes of repetitive disabling/enabling adapter. Sometimes, the adapter also drops the connection in the middle of skype call. This behavior is independent of the network and particular to the adapter. What could I do?
Thank you!
Jakub

Hi
Have you noticed some difference if you use notebook with AC power supply or using it on battery power supply?

Portege 4000 - W2K installed - Wireless connection problem

I have installed W2K on the Portege 4000. XP was too resource heavy for this system.
Having installed the Cisco wireless LAN driver (3.5.13.0) from your website, I am unable to get a wireless connection. In XP this comes up automatically with an icon. The network device switch I also installed didn't help.
I have the following:
Local Area Connection - ethernet
Local Area Connection 2 - wireless
Even if LAC 2 is enabled this still doesn't pick up wireless.
Any ideas?

Hi
Puh Windows 2000 is an older system. I didnt remember all the settings for WLan connection and therefore I have googled a little bit.
and I found a interesting page and short description how to set Wlan connection in W2k.

Wireless connection unstable on Leopard

Hi, I just got a new iMac as part of a free upgrade because my local store could not seem to fully repair my previous iMac and I am having issues staying connected to the internet while using Leopard.
Everything usually starts off fine but it seems that if I'm on my online game for 30-45mins the internet will suddenly disconnect. When I go to the list to view my available networks they are all missing for several seconds before reappearing and the computer automatically reconnects itself to my network only to disconnect another 10-15 min later and repeats the process. I've only had this computer for a few days and have managed to keep a stable connection of several hours only 2-3 times.
Before when having initial connection set up issues there seemed to be a problem with a driver that was easily fixed when uninstalled and the computer restarted. My only theory is that the computer may be over heating causing it to loose the ability to see my router but I don't know if there is a way to improve fan efficiency while using Leopard.
Please help me out.

Hello Tigerhawk,
While I am not an expert on Apple Wireless, I may be able to offer you some general advice and perhaps narrow down your problem description.
From what you wrote, I deduce as follows:
- On your old iMac, you also used wireless and never saw this issue. In other words, your current issue was introduced with the installation of your new iMac?
- You are still using the same Access Point?
- Your iMac is bootcamped and you first experienced the issue on the non OS-X system.
- Later, when using OS-X, you experienced the same issue.
Just a few more questions to get things into perspective:
- You are using 10.5.3 (I suppose). Given this is a recent update, you also saw the issue on 10.5.2?
- If there are other people in your household, do they suffer the same issue?
- Are you using 802.11n (Airport Extreme)?
- What brand is your Access Point?
- If all wireless items are Apple branded, are you using 802.11n only, or 802.11b/g?
- Are you using encryption? If so, what type? WEP? WPA/WPA2-Personal/Enterprise?
Lately I installed Airport Extreme on my own Mac and found the connection to be sluggish and would sometimes loose connection or experience signal deterioration. While installing the base station (Airport Extreme), I pretty much went the default way with the base station in Bridge mode.
I found that giving the base station a fixed IP address (instead of the default DHCP) and also manually configuring the DNS addresses made the wireless experience a lot better. Of course, this could be an isolated incident. Before I gave my Macbook (10.5.2 at that time) to my girlfriend, I also noticed irratic connection stability. But that was on a non Apple branded Access Point, so not a fair comparison. This Macbook is in her house, so I cannot test at the moment. As another comparison, the iMac in my GF's house (latest generation May 2008) is just screaming fast using an Airport Extreme base station. I did not observe dropping of connection. The Macbook still did drop connection, even when on the Apple Base station. Wired it is very fast and she's happy with that for the moment
You can try perhaps as follows for testing purposes:
- Remove all security from your wireless connection (open system).
- If that improves the situation, move to WEP.
- If that this works fine, move to WPA and observe.
- If all of the above do not change your experience, you may try the manual configuration I mentioned earlier.
Hope this helps in any way.
Best regards,
Eirram

Re: Disabled wireless connection on Win 7 - Portege R600

I have installed Windows 7 (clean installation) on notebook Toshiba Portege R600 and the built in 3G modem doesn't work.
When I start Toshiba Wireless Manager it writes "Radio is turned off. To acitvate, turn on notebook switch.".
I am sure that this switch is on, but switching of wireless connections using Fn+F8 doesn't work so maybe it is off but I cannot enable it. I have installed all updated drivers like: Wireless manager, Wlan driver,
BT Stack, etc.
Does anyone have any idea?

I want to enable 3G modem. As I understand the HW switch is to enable all wireless equipments, ie 3G, Wifi, bluetooth. And then Fn+F8 enables or disables each of it. But Fn+F8 does not provide any function. And as I realized, bluetooth don't work as well. I suppose that currently wifi is enabled and 3G and bluetooth disabled, but the Fn+F8 doesn't work to enable it.

[SOLVED] unstable wireless connection

Hi,
Wireless connection has some troubles. I don't get connection drops or anything in everyting.log mentioning errors with wlan. I tried wicd, Networkmanager and netcfg - but alas - no better results in any of them. The problem is that when checking mail, upgrading packages, ... sometimes connection cannot be made. Most of the time, running the same program immediately a second time, won't give this error. Less error-tolerant programs just crash/quit with an error-message.
Errors are like (in Dutch, I tried an English translation after ***):
Herleiden van v3.lscache4.c.bigcache.googleapis.com... mislukt: Naam of dienst is niet bekend. *** Failed to resolve from ... Name or service unknown.
wget: kan host-adres '‘v3.lscache4.c.bigcache.googleapis.com’' niet herleiden *** Cannot resolve host-addres
I've on the same laptop Sabayon and Ubuntu running where those problems do not occur.

Edit: solution: Disabling ipv6

The thing is, I cannot run it when it happens, because it is not a disconnection. It is more like small hickups. Fault-tolerant applications won't give an error. But using wget/curl might fail 1, 2 or three consecutive times, but can succeed flawlessly a 4th time. :-/

All of a sudden wireless connection is unstable

Hello there,
Had no problems with BT up until now, I use my wireless connection for things such as the xbox. However, recently (past 2-3 days) the signal strength as indicated by my xbox has been poor/fluctuating constantly resulting in latency and eventually my connection dropping out.

There's lots of channels to chose from, try them all.
Aside from that, the hub could be on its last legs.
Or it could be that there's some new source of interference from either something in your home, or a neighbouring property.

Dear Steve, will anything be done about this wireless connectivity issue?

This is no fun whatsoever....
I am telling you - browsing interenet on iMac is no fun, seriously.

People, help me in refining this list - did I leave something out?
P.S. I was thinking lately, why, after spending so much money, should I spend several days already, in agregate, trying to understand the issue and how it should be resolved? Have I not paid for not having such problems?

Here is a lot more:
http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/wirelessnetworking/topic4035.html
Highly interesting is the post of J.Exby which i reproduce here:
For months I've not been alone in holding to the notion that the airport client software on Mac OS X 10.4.x has been problematic and unstable in certain (noisy, crowded, channel overlapped) wireless environments. Issues littered around the Internet Mac forums include problems of networks appearing, then disappearing. This is a difficult problem to pin down, given the difficulty of reproducing the conditions that might cause wireless network dropouts.
A major symptom of the problem was seeing the constant messages of:
"An error occurred joining the AirPort network" (Try Again) (Cancel)
when attempting to connect to a wireless network, despite that network being seen, having correct security settings, etc.
Various temporary fixes/ideas floated around the mac community have included:
- reseting pram, nvram and PMU
- installing 10.4 from scratch, instead of 10.3 to 10.4 upgrade process
- Repairing permissions, run Combo updaters, etc
- putting system to sleep or reboot for temporary connection fix
- applying AirPort 2005-001 patch (or not)
- upgrading (or downgrading!) AirPort basestation firmware
- changing AirPort channels
- enabled (or disabling) Interference Robustness
- disabling Bluetooth and BT peripherals
- removing WEP/WPA passwords out of Keychain
- running Keychain First Aid on user/login keychains
- buying new AirPort extreme cards
- replacing AirPort base stations with other vendor hardware, etc.
With the stability of our Windows XP clients now (after driver updates) and the change from Apple base stations to Belkin Wireless Pre-N Router having no appreciable benefit for our Mac notebooks, the OS X AirPort client software suspicions only grew.
During troubleshooting I always have
Applications--->Utilities--->Console
and
iStumbler (96)
running, and I watch output as wireless scans are performed.
From the Terminal I also run:
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Resources/airport -s
and usually see constant
AirPortScanner WirelessScan error -2013261821 airpInternalErr
messages.
After two days of testing (and fixing?) I am even more convinced there are bugs in the powerpc 10.4.x AirPort Extreme Framework!
This is what I found:
Environment at our office:
- wireless Network A (802.11g channel 1, WPA personal)
- wireless Network B (802.11b channel 6, WEP 40bit ascii)
- wireless Network C (802.11g channel 11, WPA personal)
(WAR-marching around our office exterior shows at least 12 outside wireless networks found at various signal strengths!)
Test systems used:
- iBook G4 (10.3.x and 10.4.5)
- Powerbook G4 (10.4.5)
- Intel iMac (10.4.5)
Primary symptom on iBook: networks not displaying long enough under the AirPort icon/menu (or Internet Connect) to connect to ANY network reliably! Perhaps connect to Network A intermittently, never even see Network C.
iStumbler showing some networks respond to poll, then immediately stagnate/disappear.
Primary symptom on Powerbook: stable connections to Network C most times, difficulty "switching" to Network B or A once moving closer to source. Usually stable "seeing" networks via AirPort menu icon, but still have occasional dropouts (due to fluctuating signal strength or interference?).
Primary symptom on Intel iMac: NO PROBLEMS! Can connect to (and steadily "see") all valid Networks A, B, C !
iStumbler constantly polls all available networks, with no dropouts.
Steps taken:
1. Wipe iBook hard drive, install 10.3 from dvd. AirPort signals unreliable.
1a. Perform all 10.3.x Software updates, Repair Permissions, reboot. AirPort still unreliable.
2. Reset PRAM, nvram, PMU. no improvements.
3. Reseat AirPort Extreme card, ensure antenna is firmly plugged in. AirPort still unreliable.
4. Wipe iBook, install 10.4.3 "fresh" from Full retail version DVD. AirPort still unreliable.
4a. Perform all 10.4.5 Software (combo) updates, Repair Permissions, reboot. AirPort still unreliable.
5. Hold down the Option key, and click on the AirPort icon in the menu bar.
select About AirPort...
pay particular attention to each system showing:
iBook: AirPort Framework 421.13.0
powerbook: AirPort Framework 421.13.0
intel iMac: AirPort Framework 426.1.0
Aha! A big difference with the AirPort Framework component version on the Intel iMac!
6. So, using the Terminal let's get this newer Apple80211.framework onto the iBook.
First on the intel iMac:
cd /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks
sudo tar cf ~/intelApple80211frame.tar Apple80211.framework
Copy this intelApple80211frame.tar file onto a USB thumb drive, CDR, iPod, scp, etc. to copy it onto the iBook (home directory).
7. With the tar file copied into the home area on the iBook, turn off iBook's AirPort via the menubar icon.
Now launch Terminal and:
mkdir backup-framework
cd /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks
sudo mv Apple80211.framework ~/backup-framework/
sudo tar xvpf ~/intelApple80211frame.tar
Launch Disk Utility, Repair Permissions on boot drive.
Reboot iBook.
8. Turn Airport on via the menubar icon.
iBook now has HUGE improvements in wireless connectivity! It can "see" all Networks A, B, C reliably and can connect to any of them when in range (having enough signal strength). Switching between networks is successful 90% of the time. Occasional message of:
"An error occurred joining the AirPort network (Try Again) (Cancel)"
usually works after clicking (Try Again), whereas before Try Again almost always failed.
I am unsure how this newer Apple80211.framework will affect future Software Updates on the iBook, but frankly I could care less now that it's able to access all of our wireless networks!
I am unsure if this is the magic-bullet solution for a majority of people, but I'm stunned that Apple appears to be providing new and improved Apple80211.framework software with the intel iMacs, but many of us have been fighting AirPort problems on PowerPC platforms for months!
Come on Apple, OS X 10.4.5 should contain the SAME software component versions for ALL CPU platforms!

E4200 v2 - Dropping wireless connection

I purchased this router as an upgrade from my Cisco/Linksys E3000 that I have had for over a year. I use wireless almost exclusively in my household and when the E4200 V2 is working it is great but then it seems to slow down. Actually it is not slowing down but dropping packets on the wireless segments after varying periods of time. The wireless connection does not drop ( i used vistumbler to view the connection in real time ) but all connections exhibit dropped packets. I had Amazon send me a replacement and it did the exact same thing. I even restored the router to default and setup just the wireless connection both using the Cisco connect and the web interface and the problem still happens. To test this I set a constant ping of the router's gateway address on my WLAN and observed 25% to 40% dropped packets. After a reboot it is more stable, but it becomes more unstable over time. The wired connections are solid and did not drop any packets but wireless is a joke!

There are many reasons why you experience poor signal or connection. Your intermittent wireless connection has a relation to the kind of setup that you have in your home or office. Is the connection dropping on all wireless computers or just one?
You have mentioned, you set the router to factory defaults and re-configured it. Did you try changing the channel on the router to either 1, 6, 9 or 11? There could be an interference with other wireless devices in the network (cordless phone, microwave etc.) since they work on the same frequency.
Try this and see if that helps.

T60 -- Bad Wireless connection. Help please!

Hi Guys, my T60 has unstable wireless connection problem. I make sure the radio is "ON". It gets connected to the DSL network but it gets disconnected on and off ( the radio turns off by itself sometimes). Something wrong with my Intel PRO Wireless driver 3945abg? Can anyone guide me how to fix the problem??
Thank you!!
-meLittlebee

Hi there,
I'm having the exact same problem - installed the OS (Windows XP Pro) adding SP3 and updating all drivers.
Then I connect to the wireless whitout any problems. I go to sleep, and next day wireless don't work!
The Machine is a T60 2008-WGV. I have made a image of the clean disk with Clonezilla, and therefore I can restore the OS quickly to a working wireless, but I find it quite anoing to have a clean OS every morning, in order to use network.
anyone please?

Does anyone who owns a 2011 Mac Pro 17' also has a weak-wireless connections from the router? Seek for the solutions

Hi, I have just brought the 17' Mac book Pro two months ago. However, I found out that this new laptop's wireless connection is unstable. Compare with my 2010 13' Mac Pro and ipad2, the result is significantly responsible with the new wireless card model.(Correct me if I am wrong)
Hence, I am looking for a solution because I frequently skype with my oversea family members. I appreciate for your time and help

Is that the store policy on returns? What about buying from Best Buy?

Often lose wireless connection when using HDTV as monitor

I have an unusual wireless networking problem when using my Samsung HDTV in my living room as a monitor for my MacBook (when watching Internet TV shows, for example). Frequently when I switch URLs, networking freezes, even though the connection appears strong, with the Airport symbol at the top of my screen showing all bars. To re-establish the wireless connection, I have to go through the process of re-joining my network through the “Join Other Network" option. The signal holds as long as I don’t try to change it, as in selecting another URL.
I connect to my HDTV via HDMI cable, using a mini-DVI to HDMI adapter from my Macbook’s video-out port. The audio connection is a mini-plug from the Mac’s headphone out jack to stereo RCA plugs associated with the TV’s HDMI port.
The wireless connection is through a Lynksys Wireless-G 2.4 Ghz, 54 Mpbs Broadband router.
I’d appreciate any solutions the Apple user community has to offer.

I'd say this has nothing to do with your display. The problem will likely lie in either your router settings, network settings or a simple signal strength issue. Try first changing the broadcast channel on your router, and make sure all settings are correct for your desired network.

Can't configure Wireless Connection to HP OfficeJet Pro L7780

I recently purchased both my iMac 24" 2.8GHz computer with OS x 10.5.2 and HP OfficeJet Pro L7780. I was able to use the HP setup CDs for my Windows laptops and configured them to use the printer in a wireless configuration.
The iMac is creating the headache (actually I think it's HP causing the headache). When I try to install HP's driver 9.7.1 using their utility, it is unable to detect the L7780 in a wireless configuration. The moment I connect via USB or wired Ethernet, the printer is detected without a problem. My printer is located @ 192.168.1.30, fixed IP address via a NetGear FSW308 switch. My iMac is fixed @ 192.168.1.100 and the gateway is 192.168.1.1
I spent hours on the phone with HP support and am still in the same spot... HP software won't find the printer when it is wireless. I can configure OS x 10.5.2 to use the internal L7700 series driver and put the IP address in the dialog box. The printer prints without issue using the OS printer drivers, but the other features such as scan and fax will not work without the HP software.
I can ping the printer and I can connect to the printer's EWS, but the HP software will not find the software.
Overall config: iMac wireless network connection to switch; Printer also wireless connection to switch.
So far HP is dumbfounded and all they can say is that I should call Apple because the printer software works fine when I connect the Ethernet or USB cables.
HELP!
Thanks,
Roland

Thank you for the thought. Yes, although my SSID is public, I have a WEP 128-bit security key. The printer, the iMac and my Windows laptops all connect to the wireless network without issue, as evidenced by my Windows laptops and iMac (if I use the driver included with OS X 10.5.2).
I can ping the printer from the iMac as well as connect to the printer's web interface, so connectivity exists. It is as if the setup software or the printer are trying to communicate using a port that or service that OS X may be blocking.
My OS X firewall is configured to accept all connections though... so that shouldn't be the issue unless there is a bug in accepting all connections.
Thanks,
Roland

I get wireless connection but my internet does not work on my ipad 2

I get wireless connection but my internet does not work on my ipad 2

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Wireless connection not working after installed newest Lenovo ThinkVantage System Update programs

Hi, everyone!
I've installed some newest programs through Lenovo ThinkVantage System Update and just after that my wireless connection has stopped working. Here are the installed programs:
ThinkPad UltraNav Driver for Windows 32-bit version 15.0.24.0;
ThinkPad Power Management Driver version 1.60;
ThinkPad Modem Adapter version 7.80.8.0;
ThinkPad Hotkey Features Integration Package Setup version 3.11.0001;
Inter Wireless WiFi Link for Window XP version 13.02.0000;
ThinkVantage Access Connections for Windows XP version 5.62;
ThinkPad Power Manager version 1.88;
Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox (32-bit) version 6.0.5514.61.
I've got a Lenovo T61 with Windows XP SP3.
Also in Device Manager, there are now the two "Other devices" bellow with a yellow question point and a yellow exclamation point by side:
Bluetooth Hands-free Audio;
Bluetooth LAN Access Server Driver.
Does anyone have any idea what can be done to have these issues solved?
P.S.: when I click Fn+F5 it shows only the Bluetooth Radio.

Hello and welcome,
I've seen something like this on XP machines after updates a couple of times now - my T61, a friend's T400, and his daughter's T61. I guess that makes 3
_Maybe_ your situation is the same.
The fix in all 3 cases was to go to device manager and uninstall the wifi driver. Then scan for hardware changes and let it reinstall the driver. Something about how Access Connections or some other networking mangement thingy was hooking the drivers I guess.
On both of the friend's machines, the wired networking was also b0rked. Same fix there.

My hp top shot laserjet pro m275 cannot find my wireless connection

Hi there,
my printer cannot find any wireless connection available.
and the blue light on the wifi icon is blinking.
how do I solve this problem so i can print again?

The blue wireless light flashing means you are not connected to your routers SSID. You need to go back and connect to your routers SSID with it's password to get the light on solid.
Say thanks by clicking the Kudos Thumbs Up to the right in the post.
If my post resolved your problem, please mark it as an Accepted Solution ...
I worked for HP but now I'm retired!
