Possible solution to Wifi problems after 10.4.10 update !!!!

Hi,
I dunno if this will help any of you, but here it comes:
I purchased the Airport 'N' enabler just a week before I upgraded to OSX 10.4.10. And - of course - after the OS update I had the similar issue with dropping Wifi connections and very slow speed, although (*Touch Wood*) I didn't have any Kernel Panics.
After updating to OS 10.4.10, System Profiler and Network Utility showed that I had the 'n' enabled, but the speed and (lack of) stability of the Wifi connection can only be described as 'Hair-ripping'.
Anyway, after reading through all the threads/topics of all you poor sods with similar problems and utilising somewhat 'hairy' workarounds with varying results, I realized that nobody actually tried to re-install the 'N'-enabler again; at least as far as I recall..
So, I simply installed the 'N'-enabler again AFTER updating to 10.4.10 !!! I was kind of expecting the installer to prompt me, saying that "this computer already has Airport Extreme 'N'-enabler installed" blah-blah.., but it didn't.
And now I have a very stable connection and MUCH faster download speeds as well !
So those of you who hasn't tried this yet, please do. It might work for you as well ... !!
Just me 2 cents
- "Go Lemmings, Go !" -

Still having the same problem. Repairing permissions did nothing to resolve it and even the 10.4.4 update did not help.
In addition to the intermittent freezing issue I still have the mouse icon problem.
Are there any Apple people monitoring these support discussions? Do they ever solve any problems?

  • Ipad Wifi problem after 7.1.2 update

    Hey there! I noticed a big problem after updating my Ipad Air (Wifi Only) to iOS 7.1.2
    When I put the device on standby It disconnects from the Wifi network, so I don't receive any push notification. Then when I start using the iPad again, the device reconnects immediately to the Wifi.

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • Wifi problems after downloading a software update

    A while back I installed the ipod 3 update to my ipod touch 2nd generation. After that, wifi for my ipod didn't work in my house anymore and still doesn't. It will show up that I have perfect connection, but none of the pages will load. Internet works fine on my laptop, so I know it's not the router. Although I have been living with this problem for quite some time, I would love to get a solution. Can anybody help?

    Have you tried resetting the router by unplugging it for 5 min and then plugging it back in again?
    Also, have you seen [troubleshooting network and wifi connections|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398]?
    Hope that helps.

  • Wifi problem after 6.1.2 update

    I just updated my device to 6.1.2 yesterday.The wifi worked well for some time. but after I get back home, I find that it cant detec any wifi,with the searching symbol keeping running. and today I tried it on campus,and it still cant detect any wifi. And then I called Apple,it got worse after I did what they told me :reset all the settings. Now I cant even turn on my wifi.

    It is a problem with Apple's iOS beginning with 6.0.1
    So far they haven't made a definitive fix for it that I can see.
    Some people say if you wrap your iphone in a clean cloth & put it in the freezer for 5 minutes your wifi should work again...
    Frankly it comes down to Apple not being able to write/code an operating system to save their lives.

  • LEAP WIFI problem after updated to 4.2.2

    I've just upgraded my tablet to 4.2.2.
    Now I can't connect to my company's network which uses password LEAP. Major problem for me.
    Seems this is a common problem across a number of Android platforms.
    Does anyone know how to resolve on the Tab Z (not rooted). ?

    We are looking into this (see http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Z-ZL-ZR/XPERIA-Z-LEAP-WIFI-problem-after-updated-to-4-2-2/m-p/3...) but at the moment i have no solution. This seems to be a general problem with Android 4.2.2 from what i've been able to find.

  • Wifi problem after.4.3 update on xperia z

    Hi all,
    After updating my Xperia Z (C6603) to build number 10.4.1.B.0.101 I've been having connection issues with every Wi-Fi network.
    I've checked the forum but I only found problems about people having Wi-Fi issues with their smartwatch, I do not own a smart watch this is just a general networking issues.
    Here's the problem in detail:
    When having no Wi-Fi switched on while booting the phone the phone will start without any issues, I will receive my 3G/4G signal and I can browse, e-mail, everything.
    Once I switch on Wi-Fi it will start connecting to previously stored Wi-Fi access points but will not connect. Eventually it says that there was a problem with connecting, even though this will take several minutes.
    I can go into the Wi-Fi settings, select a different Wi-Fi network (if it is in range) and press connect, however the settings app will freeze at that point and eventually I'll get a notification that the settings app has stopped working.
    I have found a "work-around": I switch the Wi-Fi to on, power off the phone and power on again. Now the Wi-Fi connection immediately powers on without an issue once the phone has completely booted, it also will connect to the default Wi-Fi connection that is in range. A different issue appears however once I move out of Wi-Fi range, it will no longer pick up my 3G/4G signal. It is also impossible to switch off Wi-Fi or switch Wi-Fi network connections without rebooting the phone.
    As I said before this happened to me after updating to version 10.4.1.B.0.101 after having it received through OTA update. I do not have root access on my phone either so this can't be it.
    Is there anyone experiencing the same issues? Is this somehow related to the issues people are experiencing with their smart watch connections (as seen in this topic: http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Software-Updates/wifi-problem-after-4-3-update-on-xperia-z/td-p/490591...
    If there's anyone who is experiencing the same issues, or has found a fix for this I'd gladly hear from you.
    Regards,

  • Wifi problems since 10.5.8 Update. Even after Snow Leopard Upgrade.

    Wifi problems since 10.5.8 Update. Even after Snow Leopard Upgrade.
    Is there any way to use a 10.5.7 wireless .kext files on Snow Leopard? And where can I find the files?

    Ok, I have the fix!! After several frustrating days it finally just works.
    The process:
    Upgrade your Macs to 10.6 (Snow Leopard)
    Powercycle your modem AND time capsule / airport TWICE
    Reset your time capsule with a pin or paperclip on the back
    Follow the prompts to setup your time capsule / airport access
    -- On your Macs
    Go to System Preferences > Network > Airport > Advanced > TCP/IP
    Click "Renew DHCP Lease" then click "Ok"
    Click Apply
    Turn off Airport
    Turn Airport on
    IT WORKS!!!
    One of the magical people at tech support walked me through it earlier today. The whole process took about 1.5 hrs because Show Leopard takes about an hour to install on one machine.
    Hope this helps-

  • TS1398 iPad won't recognize wifi password after 7.0.2 update.  (The password is correct, but iPad says it's incorrect) How do I fix this?

    My iPad won't recognize my wifi password after 7.0.2 update.  The password IS correct, but I continue to get the message that the password is incorrect.  Any ideas how to fix this?

    I have the same problem too on my iPad 3. One thing that sometimes works is if you go to the App Store and put your password in there after a few tries it may work.

  • Searching problem after 10.5.6 Update

    Hello everyone, we are having a problem with searching shares mounted on clients from a server.
    Prior to 10.5.6 we could search an entire share as well as folders in the share. After 10.5.6 we can't search the share and we can only search folders in the share.
    The server is currently running 10.4.11.
    I guess what I'm wondering is... are there people with server 10.5 that are also seeing this problem or would upgrading the server fix this search issue?
    Thanks
    Mike

    Hi all...
    I recently installed the 10.5.6 OS upgrade and I've encountered a problem. I can no longer search my network attached servers - there is no search activity of any kind when I type in search terms. My local search works fine...I just can't search anything on my network ... windows servers. Is there a compatibilty issue between OS X 10.5.6 and Extreme Z-IP? Any helpful tips

    !* same problems with 10.41.B.0.109 (last working version for me is 10.3.1.C.0.136 aka 4.2.2)

    hi.
    I contacted Sony about the Bluetooth / Wireless problem after the 4.3 update, eventually all I got back was that they're aware of the problems (Bluetooth) and are working on it for the next update. How long this will take is anyones guess.
    I find it incredible that they rolled out the 4.3 update because it has so many bugs, at least give us an easy way to roll-back to 4.2.2 ...... that actually worked!

  • HT1414 I updated to iOS 6.1.3 a while ago, but recently noticed I can't access wifi (when the wifi off/on switch is frayed out) does. Anyone know a possible solution to this problem.

    This problem occurred in the last few weeks and is a real downer for me because I like apple products but if I can't use wifi then I can't do my work or use much data Any possible solutions will help. Thanks

  • WiFi Problems after standby

    Hi,
    I am having problems with the PB's WiFi connectivity after returning from standby. Even though it appears as connected (full signal) I have to turn the WiFi connection off and on to be able to browse.
    Anyone else having this problem?
    Thanks in advance.

    Just to let you know that I have had a solution for the standby/resume probelm from another site.
    FYI below.
    However the WiFi Driver and SSL VPN stopping WiFi and WLAN conectivity is still an issue.

    Solution to Standby Resume error....... 
    net stop wzcsvc
    sc config wzcsvc start= disabled
    Another satisfied customer here!  I updated a couple of days ago to SP3 on my WinXP Pro system.  I had the exact same problem (wzcsvc crash after standby/hibernate) and solution.  What I don't know is if WZC was previously running in my SP2 installation or not, though I have no wireless device installed in this computer and SP3 was one of the only variables to consider.
    BUT... I DO have an Asus P5B Deluxe motherboard.  Now, that alone isn't very interesting except they made two flavors of this board: one with a wireless adapter (Deluxe/WiFi) and one without (just Deluxe).  I have the one "without" but if SP3 looked at the system and didn't make that distinction it's possible SP3 decided Wifi was present perhaps based on the BIOS (which is the same for the Wifi and non-Wifi version of the mobo, as I recall) and installed and/or enabled the WZC service!
    This bug (in SP3 itself or specifically WZC for failing this way) would be worth noting and fixing because I suspect lots of PCs out there have WiFi capability in the BIOS but possibly not the actual WiFi hardware. I personally hope others I've seen posting about this issue in SP3 find THIS thread useful.  I'm very glad to have standby/hibernation working again!
    By the way, of all the svchost processes the one with WZC in it had 30 total services attached to it.  I'm curious why this process is so "overloaded" (if that's an accurate description) versus the other svchot processes which each only have a few services or less attached to them?  Also, when it would fail and restart that svchost process only a handful of them actually came back (less than half!)  I'm curious why that is as well...

  • WiFi problem after upgrading to Windows 8.1 Lenovo R400 ThinkPad

     I have this problem after updating to 8 to 8.1
    Right after updating to 8 to 8.1, all of a sudden my wifi stops working. I used my philips external wifi usb stick and now I'm able to get the internet going.
    However if I disconnect my philips usb I no longer get the internet because the built in wifi that came with the R400 ThinkPad no longer works. I went through the device manager and under properties it tells me, 'Device not working properly' however it is up to date.
    Im Running Windows 8.1  64bit  Laptop Lenovo R400 ThinkPad

    Hi Matti,
    Thank you for replying back!
    I suggest you to reinstall the Windows 8.1, as all the windows driver will not update, if you have upgraded the Windows 8 to Windows 8.1.
    Please download Windows 8.1 separately and reinstall the OS, I hope this may resolve the issue.
    Note: I am not suggesting for clean installation, only reinstalling the same OS.
    Do not update the drivers from ThinkVantage system update utility. I suggest you to uninstall the current drivers and download the drivers manually for Windows 8.1 and install it.
    Below is the link to enter the downloads page and download updates accordingly, please click on "Select Product" then in "QUICK PATH" enter the MTM no. select the exact model.

    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
