Satellite C55-B5355 Wifi intermittent connection, slow connection

I have a Satellite C55-B5355 with and Artheros Wifi chipset. Bought this about 6 months ago. Wifi for some reason has stopped wsorking well. Break connection to the netork intermittently. Very slow when trying to access. Downloaded and installed the latest driver from Toshiba, no good. Also tried settings in power profile so it's not turned off byt he system, but still no go. Tried Safe Mode with network loaded, no go. I've plugged it in direct to the router with a LAN cable and it works fine, so it's definitely a Wifi issue. This was working, strangely it's not now and nothing was essentially changed ont he system save for routine Windows updates. I noted that several others on the community boards have had similar issue with the Artheros Wifi. Anyone know what the story is?? Disappointed that this would happen one a new laptop. I've owned Toshiba's before with no issues. this is frustrating.

Guys, I just fix this problem. Don't know if it's gonna work for all of you but can give it a try.As I mentioned before, I own a L855-S5371 with a RTL8188CE wireless card. Windows 8.1 up to date.Tried many drivers from MS and Realtek without any luck until...I changed my router. Somehow my some-years-old laptop it's not compatible with this Cable modem router I have now.I must clarify, the router works OK for all other devices except my laptop.I linked an old router to the actual Cable modem router and everything works perfect now. There are some compatibility issues with these kind of routers since in my gf's house I have the exact same problem. The thing is that I had this router BEFORE without any problem. So maybe a Windows Update patch must be the culprit.Hope this helps for you guys.Keep it safe.

Satellite Pro A300 - WiFi is 50% slower on XP than on Vista

I noticed that WiFi transfer is slower on Windows XP Pro than with original Vista installed on the same machine.
I tested the issue on Toshiba Satellite Pro A300-1NT - is it possible or my Toshiba is not working propely?

I dont feel I have already checked - btw I have got 2 same models of A300-1NT
the one with XP recovered and second one with Vista onboard - the speed I have checked on different speedtesting websites (like speedtest.pl or dsl.cz) and I can feel the difference downloading te same things as well.
After recovering XP from original CD with SP3 installed or without SP3 the result was clear - 50%.
The system is clean with no additional band - consuming activities.
I have checked RJ Ethernet connection and there was no such issue.
i upgraded Wlan directly from intel website with noo results.
I use 802.11g standard with more aggresive settings than default.

Ipod Touch Wifi Intermittent Connectivity

I have seen the questions already on the Forum but I cannot find a solution. I have 1st gen Ipod Touch 32GB, latest version 3.0 software, Belkin N+ Wirelss set up. Sony Laptop connects 100% time, Ipod Touch connects OK but after between 2-5 minutes is loses WiFi. It is not related to distance from Router, I have completed multiple resets, I have updated frimware on Router, but always the same. Problem disappears when router securty (WPA-PSK) is switched off.
I cannot run it without security, would really appreciate a definitive solution to this.

IPad Wifi intermittent connection issues

Hi Folks,
I combed through the forum to see if anyone else has reported this issue. WOW, I was surprised at the wide range of general Wifi problems. Although many, many wifi issues are listed, I did not find a post already listing one.
My Wifi seems to work great on first glance, but when using the iPad for more than 5 minutes the issue becomes noticeable. This occurs while doing pretty much anything. I notice it the most when web surfing and reading books in iBooks. The wifi signal indicator in the status bar drops off to nothing, usually just for 10 seconds or so, then it reconnects. Sometimes it takes longer and at which time a little blue dialog box appears that says "Connecting..." Then it connects and life goes on. Rince and repeat 5-10 minutes later.
Now, I have a feeling it might be something with my Airport Base Station Extreme (ABSE) and here is why: My wife also has an iPad, and the same thing happens to her. It's not an extremely old ABSE, as it is "Extreme" running 7.4.2. I have tried several different settings on the ABSE including reverting to default settings and simply setting it up again with the most basic settings.
So, I am unsure if this problem is caused by the iPad or the ABSE, but either way, it is annoying. Was just wondering if others had experienced this and how they may have solved it. Judging by the wide range of serious wifi issues listed on this forum, it seems to be that Apple has some serious work to do on Wifi in general and maybe all these issues will be resolved in an update.
TIA
Lintila

I have relatively the same problem and a somewhat similar setup as you (airport extreme), but there are a few differences (for one, my wifi signal icon just disappears instantly and then the connecting dialogue box comes on). Haven't figured it out yet but I can add a couple things I have noticed. First, when it disconnects from my wifi, if I press the sleep button to turn the screen off and then press the home button to turn it back on and swipe the slider, the wifi is instantly connected back again. Second, for me, I notice it only occurs in 2 specific locations in my house and nowhere else...when I am laying on the couch and when I am laying in bed...hmmmm, maybe the gods are telling me not to get too complacent with my iPad. ;O) There are other locations in the house that are further from the base station and I don't have this problem so range is not the problem. And this problem only occurs periodically for me (maybe once or twice a day if that) so it is not too much of a pain. If it occurred often like it is doing for you, I would be a little more irritated. I will keep an eye out and will post back if I learn anything. For now, I am going to assume that this is just a typical kink in a new product that will eventually iron itself out on its own just as has happened in years past with various bugs in other devices.

WIFI intermittent connectivity issues after upgrading to iOS 8.0.2

Hi,
WIFI seems to be dropping a lot after upgrading to iOS 8.0.2. I even took the iPad back to Apple and they replaced it with a new one with iOS7, which was working fine, then the same problem resurfaced after upgrading to iOS 8.0.2. I can't use my iPad in the evening at all.
My iPhone is fine after the upgrade though.
Clearly an iOS8 software issuse on iPads?
Thanks

Similar thing happened to me.. Seems like the bug has not been solved.. I managed to restore to iOS 8 and this resolved the issue, at least for the time-being!
Apple team, my sincere request to you:Please attend this bug asap. It really dissolves the purpose of an iPhone..
Keeping my fingres crossed till then!

SLow WIFI toshiba satellite C55-a and windows 8

Hi I recently bought a new laptop toshiba satellite C55-A with windows 8 on it. My older laptop runs super fast with my WIFI internet. The new one goes like SLOW like hell. I mean I have 10 MB internet and it goes like 500 K Please I am really tired of looking on Internet to fix a problem of a NEW computer. Plus, once I plug my computer with the Internet wire it RUNS on 10 MB! THANK YOU!

Hello! I also recently purchased a Toshiba Satellite C55t-A.
We have a desktop computer that is about 3 years old and another laptop that is about 6 years old. We have an apple Ipad and 2 cell phones with wifi. All of these devices work with our WIFI from our cable internet at high speeds.
This new computer is so slow using Wifi that it isn't really feasable to use it for surfing the web.
It has ran slow on WIFI straight out of the box...nothing has changed on it. We perhaps should have returned it, but it was purchased for a specific project we needed it for on a time deadline, so it was too inconvenient to return it. After using it for the project, it was past the return date.
Anyways, I am hoping this is fixable...we would like to be able to use the laptop for online work.
This problem isn't related to the position in the house (walls or distance) or the integrity/age of the router. All other devices work at different points throughout our home with the current router. This is the only computer that will not run at an acceptable WIFI speed.
We also cannot restore the computer (it worked this way out of the box and there are too many files (hours of work) that we can't lose.
Please, I would appreciate if there is any info that could help me. I suspect some type of driver or software that came installed on the laptop must not be compatible with our router.
Thank you!
Mary

For those of you having intermittent connection to the internet

If you have a linksys router and having intermittent connection to the internet, here's how.
Be sure to have a LAN cable plug into your router and macbook.
(This is very important if you do not want to get disconnected from the router)
1) Navigate to http://192.168.1.1
2) Go to the Wireless tab, under the Advance Wireless Settings tab, change the beacon interval to 50, RTS to 2304 and Fragmention to 2305, save the settings.
3) When you login into your router page, it first direct you to the setup page, look under MTU, set it to 1300. save it.
Note that if you are still having intermittent connection to the internet, another alternative is setting your MTU to 1365.
That's it, 3 easy steps to get you freed from the frustration.
Cheers for all those having the same problem like me solved.

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 acually 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

What should the"default behavior" be for WiFi network connections?

I Have been able to at least temporarily fix the plethora of problems encountered after downloading Mountain Lion to my 2009 17" MBP just ten days ago. Thanks to the time and effort of so many posters that are much more savvy than me, I successfully executed the steps suggested in many of the posts and with good results. It surely beats running down to the Apple store and being told that I am the only one with a problem.
Okay, I've realized that I don't really know what the default behavior of the WiFi network connection should be?
Specifically:
Should the Wi-Fi drop down in Network always be" looking for networks", even though I am obviously on my Network?
Should the Wi-Fi be connected at all times even when your computer is in sleep mode- or deep sleep mode? There have been so many problems with Wi-Fi dropping off,slow or hanging loads, etc.
I unchecked "ask to join networks, in Network preferences thinking it might stop looking for networks when it doesn't need to because I'm already on mine. I do see my neighbors (four neighbors) in the drop down in Network.
How do you get into Time Capsule's settings, to check speeds, especially ping? What should the ideal settings be?
How do you know if your DHCP license is renewed? I've heard that feature isn't working and may be the culprit to some of the Wi-Fi problems.
I'll look forward to your help in understanding more about this. I've been in the support area a lot lately, I've read plenty of definitions, and explanations of the different options to choose from in Apple's support area, but nowhere have I seen anything that explains what the default behavior should be or perform like.
Thanks, as always.

Generally, you don't want to tweak the wifi settings. It pretty much takes care of itself. The caveat to that is, of course, if you're experiencing problems.
The 'looking for networks' behaviour only happens when you log in, wake the mac from sleep OR when you click on the wifi icon. You clicking on it tells the mac "I want to see what networks are available" - so it does a scan for you to check to see if any new networks have appeared since you last clicked on it (or woke/logged in). In short, if you don't want it to look for new networks, don't click on the icon!
Unchecking the 'ask to join networks' option only applies when your mac detects a new network (such as when it wakes) that you haven't already authorised; it'll ask you to confirm whether you want to join it or not. Otherwise, if the network is open it'll join automatically. You should keep this selected if you travel around with your Mac. It's a good idea to know what network you're on before you start plugging in passwords or typing other things into the mac.
There is a utility that you can use for ping and traceroute called 'Network Utility'. Click on the Spotlight icon in the top right of your screen and type "Network' and you should see it at the top of the list. Hit 'return' to open it.
DHCP licences are normally renewed automatically by your router every 24 hours. Again, there's no reason to be messing about with that unless you're experiencing problems.
If you're experiencing wifi dropout, let us know, and we'll make some suggestions, but if you're not, you're best leaving your mac to manage the background processes. It knows what it's doing!

My ipad is not connecting to internet but shows wifi is connected

My Ipad is not connecting to the internet ,but it is showing that Wifi is connected.

The wifi symbol only indicated the presence of wifi. Not that it is connected.
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 drooping 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

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

Wifi problem - connection stalls. MSI GE620DX

Hi,
Bought this laptop May 2011. OS Windows 7 Home Premium, Intel Centrino Wireless-N 130 wifi adapter (from Windows device manager).
I have had the same Wifi problem from the beginning. The Wifi connection stalls every 5-20 seconds or so. The wifi stays connected but basically it is just like it is losing packets for some seconds. Like if I'm streaming a video (Internet or LAN, the exactly same thing) with VLC, the video starts to play nicely but after 5-10 seconds it starts to skip frames and stops for 1-4 seconds and then continues again. (But Youtube for example usually works better, because it buffers the video and can handle these network errors.)
Other services behave exactly similarly, like file transfer. It is relatively slow to begin with but also varies in speed. If I transfer from another computer in the same LAN (other computer with wired connection) the speed is about 600-700 kB/s. Web browsing sometimes needs a refresh on the browser to get the page to load. I tried pinging my router, results were: Sent = 2730, Received = 2589, Lost = 141. Round trip fastest = 1 ms, slowest = 2407 ms, average = 7 ms.
So, you understand this is quite frustrating at times.
I initially thought the problem is just some incompability with my router and this MSI laptop Wifi. But I now have experience with four different networks in four different locations and the results are always very similar. So I am quite sure the fault is with the MSI. With wired connection there's no problems at all but that is not always possible and basically the Wifi should just work.
I have tried different driver version but absolutely no difference. The latest driver was just updated from Windows Update and no difference in performance. I have also tried to let both the Intel PROSet/Wireless software and Windows to manage the Wifi connections, but again, no difference what so ever.
I'm kinda thinking it's a hardware problem.
Any advice or should I just contact MSI for repairs? Thanks in advance.

Thanks Buluunee!
After your advice I decided to once again reinstall, starting by uninstalling the driver and also Proset. Once uninstalled both, I just installed the driver (or actually Windows found it automatically, altough I thought I had removed it). Now, without the Proset, this seems to be working!
There was something odd happening after a reboot, wifi connected but didn't get IP address. Another device worked fine on the same network. I had an extra router and this is working nicely even after some shutdowns. So, it seems this was after all a softaware problem.

Airport wifi password--connects w/o PW but not with

I prefer to figure stuff out on my own, but this time I need community help.
I currently have a dual band airport setup for a totally Mac network. iMac 3.06 ghz connects to airport extreme ("n") at 5 ghz while my old mac book pros (G3 & G4) connect to my old Airport express (g) at 2.4 ghz. Also my Epson Artisan 800 all-in-one wifi printer connects just fine to my airport express at 2.4 ghz. Everything has worked great for a year using WPA passwords. (This was set up as a WDS--Wireless Distribution System-- following the info in "Designing Airport Networks" support download from Apple.)
PROBLEM: I'm trying to connect my Insignia Bly-ray wifi to my airport express. It connects fine if I remove password protection from my Airport Express, but when I replace the WPS AES password that has worked just fine for the last year, the Blu-ray will not connect. I thought that meant it was a problem with the Blu-ray device; however the Blu-ray connects very happily to my Airport Extreme with WPA AES password. OK, I could live with this if the Blu-ray wifi ran at 5 ghz, but it only runs at 2.4 ghz and slows down my system from 5 ghz to 2.4 ghz. I want to get the blu-ray to connect via the Airport Express (with all my other slower devices) rather than the Airport Extreme. The problem seems to be in the password for the Airport Express.
To clarify, the blu-ray wifi has no problem with the password on the Airport Extreme and all other devices (macs, printers) have no problem with password on the airport express.
I am starting to suspect that I will have to buy a separate Airport Extreme that I run at 2.4 ghz to run my slower (2.4 ghz "g") Macs, printers, and Blu-ray. But I shouldn't need to do this.
Before someone asks, yes, I have re-entered the password, checked and rechecked, turned everything off and back on. I'm very thorough in trouble-shooting. Just hope someone out there has encountered a similar problem. Or even better has set up a blu-ray wifi to connect to Airport Express.
Thanks!

OK, I've thrown in the towel on my WDS network running the Airport Express and the Airport Extreme. It worked fine until tried to add the Blu-ray wifi to the mix. (Some conflict between it and Airport Express just refused to be resolved.) That added a level of complexity that was crazy making, so I have sent for the new Airport Extreme with simultaneous dual-band--apparently my current model will not allow for simultaneous dual band connections. I bought it just before the new model came out in 2009.
I can only hope that I be able to have every device running on the Airport Extreme without the 2.4 ghz devices slowing down my 5 ghz system. That's the theory anyway. Anyone know if this really works as advertised? I hope so. I have spent days trying to get the blu-ray wifi to connect the Airport Express on my previous setup. I hope I have not paid a bunch more money just to buy another headache. Please say something encouraging;-)
Happy Holidays

Sony Vaio not recognising Wifi/Internet connections since System Refresh ... Help!

I'm using Windows 8.1 on a Sony Vaio SVE1512C6EW. It was running really slow, so I did a System Refresh and deleted a few programmes. Now it is not recognising Wifi/Internet connections and Audio doesn't work. I don't know if I deleted the driver or it was the refresh. Please help!

Hi nickisheps,
Thank you for visiting Sony Community!
Here in Sony Support USA for Vaio, we do not recommend System Refresh right away since your issue was slow performance. You could uninstall programs and check for viruses/malicious programs first, running Vaio or Windows update, etc. You are right about drivers. There is a possibility that some drivers and software are not properly installed or was deleted after the refresh. You may try this first: Go to Device manger -> Network adapter -> select the name of the adapter -> right click and select Uninstall (DO NOT DELETE). Restart the laptop. The default driver will be reinstalled. You may do the same process in Audio, just select Sound, video and game controllers. Check again if you the will connect to the internet.
If none of these work then you need to visit Sony's website (based on your location or from where you purchased the unit) and download the needed drivers.
Since your Vaio SVE1512C6EW is not a U.S. model and we have limited information about your unit and we do not have the drivers and software that support your computer. We kindly recommend visiting our Sony Global Web site for information on contacting the Sony Support Center in your region at http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/Support/.
Hope these help.
Best regards,

RV320 Intermittent connectivity issues

We have been having intermittent problems with internet (WAN) connectivity on my wife's small business computer network. Connectivity will be fine for a day or so, and then we will have a period of poor and frequently interrupted connectivity. I have our router (a Cisco RV320K9NA) set to send me notifications about problems, and when our internet connection is disrupted, I receive the following notifications from the router:
Mar 28 07:31:11 2015 routeree1df4 Network Log: NSD FAIL WAN[1]
Mar 28 07:32:11 2015 routeree1df4 Network Log: NSD SUCCESS WAN[1]
Mar 28 07:36:05 2015 routeree1df4 Network Log: NSD FAIL WAN[1]
Mar 28 07:39:08 2015 routeree1df4 Network Log: NSD SUCCESS WAN[1]
Mar 28 07:39:48 2015 routeree1df4 Network Log: NSD FAIL WAN[1]
Mar 28 07:40:58 2015 routeree1df4 Network Log: NSD SUCCESS WAN[1]
The above is a sample, there are many more notifications of this type in the log.
Our network configuration is as follows:
Our internet provider's cable modem is connected to our router, which is connected to a Netgear ProSafe 24 port switch. All of our network devices and computers are connected to the switch.
We have tried many things to fix this problem. Our internet provider (Time Warner) has replaced their cable modem. We have replaced our router. My wife increased the speed of our network connection based on usage data from the internet provider. I have replaced the ethernet cable between the router and the cable modem.
We have not been able to reproduce the connectivity problem when we directly connect a laptop to the cable modem, so the internet provider has decided that the issue must be internal to our network and/or router, washing their hands of the whole problem.
I'm technically proficient, but I'm no networking technician, so I'm looking for help and suggestions to fix this problem. Thanks in advance for any suggestions that you can offer.

No, it was wireless. Here is the same test run whilst wired in. I don't understand this though. I wasn't complaining about the speed? I was complaining about the general intermittent connectivity issues we experience, and the regular lack of availability the service provides. Perhaps these are standard tests you have to run beforehand?
The last time I complained about my connectivity issues was in February. If you have access to the ticketing tool, you'll be able to see the nature of my complaint. It was ticket number: VOL051-4263008159178. Something was "done at the exchange" and someone logged onto my HH3 and changed the wireless channel and that "fixed" it. Trouble is, it's been the same ever since. We have a few hours where the connection is stable, then we'll start to get packet losses when trying to connect to sites like Google.co.uk, Bt.com etc etc.
I'm no expert, but this is clearly more than an issue with the wireless channel and some spurious problem at the exchange. This is a continuing nightmare for us which is preventing us from accessing the internet for hours at a time and therefore taking full advantage of the services we pay a lot of money for!

MacBookPro intermittent connectivity with AE/Internet alongside XP/Vista

My family has 3 laptops: 1x Dell (XP), 1x Toshiba (Vista) and MacBook Pro (OSX10.5.6) using my home wireless network: Airport Express connected to VirginMedia Router to internet. Only Mac has intermittent problems:
- All 3 laptops individually have no problems connecting to internet;
- All 3 can simultaneously be on the internet streaming online media;
- However, only Mac has intermittent connection problems;
- The XP/Vista laptops connectivity is faultless, unaffected when Mac is first connected to or using the AE/internet;
- If my Mac is already connected to AE/internet, then connecting XP/Vista laptop will interrupt Mac connection;
- Turning the Airport-client off/on sometimes temporarily re-connects, or once in a while Mac auto-connects for a few mins, but reconnection is not maintained for more than a few minutes, whether internet in use or not;
- Mac alone will remain on internet happily indefinitely if neither XP/Vista laptop are connected;
- I have tried fixes suggested in the forums, such as renewing/lengthening DHCP lease, using DHCP and hard IP addresses, different AE wireless frequencies, removing wireless phones, updating Airport software to latest, turning IPv6 off, etc.
- This issue arises even when all 3 laptops are used in same room, less than 10m line-of-sight from AE.
Any ideas how I can force my Mac to stay connected to AE/Internet and not let my XP/Vista family members win the contest of reliable connectivity?
Yours, the embarassed of the family.

Thanks for the first two replies.
1. Norton and AVG antivirus ran last night.   No problems. Spybot also was run.   So I don't think the problem is related to Arun's ideas.
2. I have a MI424WR Verizon router.   The WAN light is on solid green, all the time. The Internet light flashes.
The router is fed by coax.
I dont know what bit torrent is.   Computer 2 is only used for Pogo on line simple stupid gaming (I am whining about wife's activities).   My Computer 1 is only used for ebay and simple web activities.
I tried resetting the router once today...helped nothing.
Just now I could not get connected via shortcuts.   BUT---I can always get on line through Outlook Express. And I got here via an email link.
go figure
