Router reboot, wifi interface loses connection

Hello everybody. :)
I have a linuxbox running arch with a rt2500 wifi card which connects to a wireless router using wpa-psk.
I use the rt2500-cvs driver. Because it doesn't work with wpa-supplicant, I have made a script with all the necessary iwpriv commands and I start this script at boot, after starting the network.
All that works, fine.
But when I reboot my wireless router, the linuxbox loses its connectivity with the router! If i rerun the script with the iwpriv commands, everything is fine again.
How can I make it so that after the router is rebooted, my linuxbox will reconnect automatically to the wireless network?

Change ur router settings from "mixed" to G or N only.
Router settings I think is http://109.168.1.1
Sign in should b admin, admin.
I had constant iPad wifi problems thought out my house. So far, 3 days in, no problems.

Test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Back up all data before making any changes.
1. Make sure the network is on the preferred list by following these instructions. It's important to read the article carefully, as it's the starting point for any further efforts to solve the problem. If you skip any of the steps, the problem may not be solved. Make sure the box marked
          Remember networks this computer has joined
is checked.
2. Follow the instructions in this support article under the heading
          Symptom: After restarting or waking from sleep, my computer might not connect to the Internet
3. Reset the PRAM.
4. Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
5. From the Location menu at the top of the Network preference pane, select Edit Locations. A sheet will drop down. Click the plus-sign button to create a new location. Give it any name you want. In the new location, set up the Wi-Fi service with the same settings you used before. Click Apply and test.
6. Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first.
7. Repair permissions on the startup volume.
8. Turn off Bluetooth and test.
9. Reset the System Management Controller.
10. This step shouldn't be necessary, but has been advised by Apple Support in some cases, apparently as a workaround for a bug. Open the Energy Saver pane in System Preferences. If applicable, click the padlock icon in the lower left corner to unlock the settings. Enter your administrator login password when prompted.
Select the Power Adapter tab and uncheck the boxes marked
          Wake for Wi-Fi network access
and
          Enable Power Nap...
if present. Then, if the computer is a MacBook, select the Battery tab and uncheck
          Enable Power Nap...
11. Reinstall OS X.

WiFi phones lose connection with AEBS, unable to reconnect

I have 2 WiFi phones with T-Mobile Hot Spot at Home, a Blackberry 8900 and a Nokia 6086. Had a Linksys router that got so it required rebooting several times a day. Got AEBS, worked flawlessly for a while. Now having a similar problem. Seems to be worse on cold nights. The WiFi connection drops and the cell phones switch to the cell towers (which is a poor connection). Attempts to reconnect using the phone results in the message "Incorrect Passcode Security Key" or something similar to that. The only solution so far is to reboot the AEBS. Both my Macs use Tiger, no Leopard as they are PPC's. Had to borrow a Leopard Mac to set the AEBS using the utility, but do not have it always a available. As far as I can tell, when the phones lose connection, so does the lap top, but the hardwired iMac seems to still work. Can you help me out on this?

Thanks for the suggestion - it's a good idea. Unfortunately it wasn't possible at the time as my husband was mid-game using the router! The problem didn't happen last night - all very odd! If it happens again I'll certainly try your suggestion. Many thanks.

Extreme router reboots when trying to connect to disk after 7.1.1 update??

I just brought my new AE-n router home not more than 2 hours ago. I connected a USB disk to it and it was discovering it and was able to transfer quickly to it.
However, I updated my firmware to 7.1.1 and whenever I try to manually connect to the disk, my router restarts itself. I've tried resetting the disk and unplugging the router. I have not changed any settings other than the firmware.
Anyone have an idea? Can I try putting the old firmware back on? Thanks.

Ok, I did that. UPDATE:
I downloaded 7.0 and 7.1. I installed both and also tried resetting the router after each firmware install.
The problem occurs when I try to manually connect to the disk using the disk utility. After I'm prompted and enter my login info, the disk light looks like it's being read and immediately after, the light turns amber and the router reboots.
I'm currently using 7.1. I can get the disk to connect fine when I reset everything, configure the router to my specs and then turn the USB disk on. HOWEVER, once I turn off the disk and then turn it back on, I can try to connect to it and the router will reboot again. Obviously I want the option to turn my disk off at night. 7.0 didn't even work at all, barely.
Any ideas??

Audio interface loses connection

Hi
I've recently bought myself two audio interfaces: Edirol FA-66 and Mackie Tapco firewire, both with two combo inputs and firewire 400 connection. When i connect either one of them to my macbook pro (2,53 GHz), it works for a while and suddenly loses connection. The sound plays for a few seconds through my internal speakers and most of the time, it reconnects after a couple of seconds back to the audio interface. Could this possibly have anything to do with snow leopard? (I think I've read something about this). Or would it be something else? (I'm thinking of the FW400->FW800 cable I'm using, some kind of problem with the processor,... ).
As I am intending to use my laptop for live performances, this problem really needs to get solved...
I'd be very thankful for any suggestion
greetings
Kobe

Well I'm hoping I'll just take it back to the Apple service center and they'll magically fix it (since it's not even a year old!), but I get the feeling I'm going to get fobbed off with some lame excuse, to which they'll get a piece of my mind!
I've tried the Motu 828mk3 on my 5 year old PC running Windows 7 and it works, so I'm doubtful the problem is with the Motu unit. I've tried practically everything... reset the SMC, reset the PRAM, reset the MOTU, plugged in an external firewire drive/hub and chained the MOTU, toggled the optical inputs/outputs and nothing seems to work. The only things I haven't tried (that I can think of) are:
a) another 800 to 400 firewire cable (I've only just bought this one so I'm loathe to spend extra on another to find out it doesn't solve the problem).
b) a clean re-install of OSX (think I'll leave that to the Apple guys and gals).
c) an express card with firewire 400 ports (again I'm loathe to spend money on this unless I KNOW it will solve the problem).

Audio interface loses connection every time my mac mini goes to sleep

Using M-audio fastrack pro and newest mac mini dual 2.5 on Mountain Lion 10.8.4 Intel core i5.
I have to restart to make it go away, it also just happened when I unplugged my monitor and plugged it back in...... Samsung syncmaster....
Anyone had similar problems with Mountain Lion?

Hi Mate,
Used to have one of those, it was a real pain for dropping out on me, i don't know if you're aware but they don't support sleep mode. Meaning that if you were to sleep your mac you need to pull the usb cable out first, and plug it back in when you resume. If you don't you have restart your machine to have it work again.
And yup, it's a right pain. Mine was particularly sensitive - it dropped out when i switched my mixer on a few times which concerned me, found it ran much better when connected to AC Power.

Creating two wifi interfaces

Good evening. I have two wifi networks, so I need to connect to both of them.
According to google, it's impossible to make my wifi-interface 'wlp1s0' connected to both networks.
So, I am going to copy my interface and make it connected to 2nd network.
Please, show me the way.

You will need a second wireless network adapter to do that. The limitation is not at the level of the operating system. The existing adapter itself cannot connect to multiple networks at the same time, the same way a wired network adapter cannot connect to two or more separate networks at a time.

MacBook Pro loses connectivity to netgear router every few weeks. All other wifi devices in my home work (iPad, iPhone, tv,). If I go near the router, I can reconnect, but maybe only for a few hours. So every few weeks I reinstall Netgear software. NG.

Every few weeks I lose connectivity to my Netgear N router. Its becoming more frequent. All other devices in my home work fine (ipad, PC's, iphone, etc..). In order to work for a few more weeks, I reinstall the Netgear software (using Ethernet cable to router) . This is a hassle. I use WPA-2. Every once in a while I can reconnect without reinstalling the software if I go NEAR the router. But this connection doesn't last too long (a few hours).
What do I do?

IPad2 loses connectivity to wifi

Recently my iPad2 has lost connetivity to my wifi network in areas of my home where it was not a problem before. I thought it was a problem with my wife's new 4th gen iPad, but it does not occurs with her new iPad shut down. Her 1st gen iPad does not lose connectivity, nor does either of our MacBook Pros or other devices. It's only the iPad2 and it reconnects when I get within ten feet of my Time Capsule and my Airport Extreme, that I use as a network extender. I have tried setting up the 2.4ghz devices on a separate channel but that deos not seem to work. I have rebooted both the iPad2 and the TC still doesn't solve the problem. I don't believe it is an iOS update problem since it worked fine since the latest update. The only new factor was the 4th gen iPad being used.

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

Lose connection to wifi every few minutes, after iOS 7.1 update

I just recently updated my iPad to iOS 7.1
My iPad is the model w retina display, cellular capable but with the data plan currently disabled.
Immediately following that update, I can no longer stay connected to my home wifi. My connection lasts from 30 seconds to maybe 10 minutes, seemingly dependent on the amount of load I attempt to put on the connection. (i.e. downloading a movie or any video will drop the connection in seconds)
I have updated the firmware on both my wifi router, and my wifi range extender. Connecting to either gives the same results: a disconnect within minutes.
Other devices can connect and stay connected on both the wifi router and the wifi extender. Resetting the router, the extender, my ipad, or any combination yields the same erroneous results. Airplane Mode, wifi off then back on, and rebooting the ipad all yield the same results.
This iPad was able to maintain a connection before the iOS 7.1 update.

Hello omniges
Continue your troubleshooting with the article below. Try forgetting the network by going to Settings > Wi-Fi, and tap the info button and then tap Forget this Network. You also may want to reset the network settings on your iPad as well

My ipod 4G won't connect to my wifi at home with new router. Says "unable to connect" and won't give me any other options. Have tried resetting network connections. Help.

My ipod 4G won't connect to my wifi at home with new router. Says "unable to connect" and won't give me any other options. Have tried resetting network connections. I don't want to lose anything. I have tried turning everything off and back on again. Desktop and laptop are working fine. Sometimes it turns on suddenly and I can use it for like 20 mins but then shuts off again. Same thing is happening with my dad's iphone, Help.

Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

My wifi loses connection to my phone and laptop at the same time every 30 mins or so.

Hey all.
I have a WRT160 V2 router with firmware v2.0.02. I have had the router for years without any problems. A few months ago I have started to see an issue where I lose connection to my internet on my laptop, and wifi on my phone at the same time. I have wifi calling on my phone and it disconnects also at the same time. All of a sudden, everything will stop working, then about 40 seconds later, it all works again. I lost the connection maybe every 30 to 60 mins
Does anyone have an idea what can be causing this issue? Thank you.
It is really annoying because I rely on wifi calling for my primary phone, and I end up getting cut off when talking to people. BTW wifi calling is for all tmobile phones, but also normal wifi to surf the web on my laptop and phone drops too at the same time.

I would suggest that you isolate the problem. You may start the isolation by connecting a computer directly to the router (hard wired connection). Observe the connection for couple of hours. If the connection is stable, problem might be on the wireless settings of the rotuer. If the connection is not stable, do further isolation. Connect the computer directly to your modem. Observe the connection for couple of hours. If the connection is not stable, call your internet service provider. If the connection is stable, problem might be on the router itself. Upgrade the firmware first (firmware available in the website: Ver.2.0.03 Build 9). After the upgrade, reset and reconfigure your router.

To connect a wifi interface (only wps) to airport

i have:
1) a new airport time capsule (bought on 2 march and fully updated)
2) wifi devide that can connect to wifi router through the wps button (there is no other way to set the wifi connection). the devide is the wifi interface to meldcould of mitsubishi conditioner.
how can i set the wifi connection between the 2 devices? airport has not a wps button, but maybe it is possible to do it by a mac?

The AirPort Time Capsule does support WPS, both PIN and PUSH (which is called First Attempt). Ignore the Printer label below, it will work with any WPS enabled device
Open AirPort Utility
Click on the Time Capsule icon
Click Edit in the smaller window
Click the Base Station menu at the top of the screen near the Apple icon

My iPad loses connection after waking away from router even in the next room over.

I know it's just my iPad, as when other people with iPads are here (or even just with my iPhone), they still have their connection and mine is lost. Or when I go places, people will have their connection pretty far away from their router and my connection is lost. I have rebooted the iPad and nothing. My iPad screen cracked previously so I took it someplace to get it fixed, so I don't know if that has anything to deal with it? Help please!?

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.
