Problem with wifi connection since installing Lion OS X

Has anyone had problems since installing Lion OS X with there wifi connection? I keep getting bumped off my connection in multiple different locations ....that i never had a problem before. I installed Lion on my laptop and my Mac and I am having the same problem with both. Is there something i need to change on my settings?

One way to look at this problem is to install a Stumbler program and look at what channels are being used in your immediate area. You may find the channel you are using is very busy, and switching your Router to a channel with less competition, or setting your Router to automatic channel selection, improves the situation.
Another way to address this problem, especially since it seems to correlate with software Upgrade, is to set it up from scratch again:
System Preferences > Network > WiFI/Airport > ( Assist me ) > ( Set Up ) ...
... and re-specify from scratch, especially using a New Location.

Since upgrade to ios6 l have been having problem with wifi connection and connecting to App Store and iTunes store

Q since upgrade to iOS6 l have been having problem with wifi connection and getting into App Store and itunes

Saw this on another post.
Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it! It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.
In the meantime ...........

Try this first - 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 works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. 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.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
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
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

I have an Ipad mini with IOS7. A few days ago I began to have problems with wifi connectivity. I can connect to wifi with Google but cannot navigate in Safari nor any of my aps are able to acess wifi. Very strange. Not sure what to do!

Hi ..
Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
You may have to re enter your Wi-Fi password.

Problem with wifi connection

Hello everyone i'm new user of BlackBerry and i must say it's great phone
but I have a one little problem with wifi connection:
when i open "Call Management" and turn on wifi connection, find my home router network and connect with it- i have not green hook like with my telephone connection but only white minus
Sou I think BB find my wifi connection but can't take internet from router?
I had only one time working connection, but next day it lost
The same problem i found on other forums but no one know how to solve the problem.
Please help me solve this problem.
ps: sorry for my english hope all is understandable
Regards

I, too had problems connecting my iTouch with my home computer. I did everything suggested and then called Apple. They worked very hard for me to find the problem ... even the engineers got involved. They found that the Symantec firewall downloaded from my ISP, Comcast, interfered with the iTouch communicating with the computer. As soon as I disabled the Symantec wall (not the internal mac firewall) my iTouch was back communicating with my computer. Apple deserves a lot of credit for isolating the problem. So, for those of you with this problem, check out your third party security software and remove what you must. Kudos to Apple customer service on this one.

Trouble connecting since installing Lion

Since installing Lion on my Macbook Pro, I'm having trouble acquiring and maintaining connections with my WiFi signal. No such issues with my Snow Leopard/Leopard Macs, PCs, iPhone and iPad.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
JD

JD, I have experienced the same ... losing connection frequently ... what did it for me was to unplug my router (Time Capsule) and network extension (Apple Extreme) for about 15 minutes, then plug back in ... don't know if it will work for you, but it surely is worth trying I'd say

Problem with wifi connection at home

Hello,
I have a MacBookPro4,1. I have a weird problem with Wifi.
At work, it just connects to the network instantly. At home,
the connection usually does not work for the first time, I have
to Turn Off and Turn On Airport card several times before it
connects to the network. While this was happening, I changed
my router (from ASUS-WL500G DeLuxe, to DLink AP with 802.11n
and now I have a newer ASUS with 802.11n). It is still the
same. For this reason, I suppose the problem is caused by
other networks. I also reinstalled the notebook now, as
Snow Leopard is out. The same thing.
I have another MacBook Pro (older model), that just works
and iPhone also works. I have applied all Airport firmware
upgrades and also Software updates.
It drives me a little bit crazy, when it takes me
10 minutes of restarting airport to get a connection. When
I'm connected, everything works well, no packet drops, 100%
signal.
I have read about similiar problems in another forums,
but with no solution. Please help!
Juraj.

This is often a router channel problem. Your home router is sending out wifi on one particular channel and being picked up by several computers lessening the chances of another computer connecting. Almost all routers use a general channel number so everyone in the neighborhood is on that channel.
Try changing channels - usually between 1 - 4, and see if that doesn't work better for you and your MBP.

Problem with wifi connection ever since I upgraded to ios 6?!

My wifi isn't working right and I just upgraded to ios about an hour ago. I clicked on the wifi network I wanted to join, and I have a connection but when I click on it, apple.com comes up and asks me to "Log In" but on the page it says "Sorry the page you're looking for can't be found" I'm not sure if this is an ios 6 problem or just a problem with my ipod/wifi, but please help me?!

Common problem. Ugh. I was hoping to find hope in these forums. ipad 1 and ipod touch 4 both are unable to use the app store for anything other than software updates! Crash crash crash.
And people are complaining about the maps!?

New problem with wireless connection since 27th No...

Main desktop computer (windows xp) is connected directly to the internet via ethernet cable to BTHub3. No problem exists with this connection.
We have previously had no problem connecting Tablet, laptop, and internet radio via wireless connection to our Hub. Problems now exist with wireless connection to all of these devices:-
- When attempting to use any of the devices wirelessly, we are unable to obtain a connection to our Network (shown on the list of those available) - indicates - "out of range" or "obtaining IP address" or "authenticating" or "network disabled - poor connection"
- On occasions, the devices DO show that they are connected wirelessly but are unable to access the internet or use any programmes requiring an internet connection. Messages indicate - "no internet connection" or "connection timed out - retry" or "cannot access this webpage", even when we are in the same room as, and only a few feet away from the Hub.
- One anomaly has occurred in that the internet radio did connect and function normally on 2 occasions recently , for a duration of a couple of hours, before loosing the connection. However, during this time, the other devices still refused to connect.
Measures we have undertaken to try to resolve the problem are :-
- We have visited the "Wireless troubleshooting" part of the BT Helpdesk on several occasions, but had already tried the measures suggested here, including changing channels and hub reset.
- We have spoken at length to the BT tech. helpline who have been unable to resolve the problem.
- We have emailed BT Help and received a reply from India suggesting all the things that we have already tried (ie. a "stock answer").
- We are not confident enough to access the Hub Manager as we feel feel this is beyond our capability.
We would be most grateful if someone could help us.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Wingman2, the first thing I would do is uninstall BTDesktop Help if you have it installed. It can cause more problems than it solves.
I would also suggest that the first thing to try is a factory reset of the homehub by pressing a pin into the recess button on the rear for about 20 seconds.
After you have done a reset if you still have problems, download, install and run inSSider. It will show you the wireless channels and which one your Homehub is on. You want to find the channel with the least congestion, ie. least number of users. Once you have that you need to change your homehub onto that channel.
See link for insider. Use the free version.
http://www.metageek.net/products/inssider/
See link how to change channel on homehub
http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/14094
After that if you are still having problems you could try setting the home hub to b/g only instead of b/g/n. If one of your devices is not "n" capable it could help.

Problems with App Store since installing Mountain Lion

I have recently installed Mountain Lion and since then have been unable to use the App Store. When I launch it comes up with an error message stating 'App Store cannot verify a secure connection with the App Store.Would you like to connect anyway?' If you hit continue the application flashes black and white but goes no further. Has anyone else had this problem and what could be done about it.

Yes at work and no at home but the problem occurs regardless of this

Windows 7 on iMac. Problem with wifi-connection.

Hi! I recently installed windows 7 on my 27" iMac (latest model). Everything works great besides that the wifi is much slower when i run windows then when i run os x. When i connect directly with a cable in windows the speed is as it should be. Figured it must have something to do with the drivers, so I installed the latest bootcamp drivers but the problem will still remain. I've googled for a solution, noticed that other people have the same problem but can't find a concrete solution.
Please help me somebody!

Can't get wifi connection after installing lion osx

I upgraded my OSX to Lion, and ever since i am unable to pull a connection to my wifi, neither at home nor at work. I have tried almost everything... I even reinstalled all of my software and NADA..... And needless to say it took me the whole saturday to do it, since it is recommended to start with the Discs that originally came with the computer..
I´m on the verge of hating my computer!!!
PLEASE HELP....

While we all have MacBooks in this forum most of us don’t have Lion. There's a Lion Support Community where everybody has Lion. You should also post this question there. https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.7_lion

TS1398 Problems with Wifi connection in hotels with Ipad

Hi guys!
I bought an Ipad MD528C/A lately and I have difficulty connecting to some public Wifi such as hotels' wifi. I don't understand why it's doing that; I tried to change the settings as some people suggests in certain forums, and it still is not working. The thing is, I bought my Ipad so I could stay in touch with Internet (and the world) while I travel...so...it is kind of frustrating. Anyone could help me ?
Thank you very much!

Hi!
I have sometimes the same problem in some public wifi networks... and I solve it switching off the "mobile data" in the iPad settings.
I don't know why, but it rules... ;-)
Good luck!
Carlos.

Problems with iPhoto libraries since installing iLife

I have got very confused as to what has happened since I installed iLife and upgraded my photo library. I have read a few posts here and theer so apologies if this is answered elsewhere. I seem to be stuck in a loop with accessing my photos, it tellms me to upgrade the library - which I did - but it still isn't working. I can see all my pics and folders via Adobe Bridge, so they are there... but even when I try to look at the library (actually I have two for some reason) via Time Machine, it says the same thing. Can anyone help? Thank you.

Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If you can create and run a new library then the problem lies with your existing library.
If that's the case make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

I need to remove my battery and insert it again to make app world and what`s app functional. But again after some time of use the same problem occurs.
What can be done.
I have already reset my mobile twice using desktop software.

Hi NikhilAdhav and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums!
Do you currently have a BlackBerry data plan with your wireless provider? Does the network only drop while you are connected to a Wi-Fi hotspot?
Thanks.
