Signal dropped every minute

Hi,
I set up my Airport Extreme. However, my Vista laptop keeps dropping the wifi signal every minute or so and then reconnects to it. Any ideas?
It only seems to be my laptop that does this. My other laptop running XP and my mac does just fine.
Thanks,
-Chris

BY GOD THIS WORKS!

Holy - this thang has been driving me crazy. Like I would look at my watch and every sixty seconds there would be a cut out - precisely at the 60 second mark. But this little software download does the trick. Nothing but pure music - the way the artist INTENDED!
Thank you so much.
That said, the fact that someone has to write a fix for Vista - or for Apple for that matter - is discusting. I am sure they weren't paid for it!
But in any case - thank you - whoever built this little lagger thang. And happy listening to all those who get this to work also!

  • The signal drops every time i lock the screen.

    I have a wierd problem with my Iphone5. The signal drops every time i lock the screen. It seems to happening only when the battery is under 20%.. After i restart my iphone the problem disapear, but after a time it happends again. I have ios 6.0.2. Anybody help?

    When the phone goes into sleep mode (screen locked), after a few seconds of inactivity, the wifi will disconnect. This is by design to help further battery life. Once you wake the phone up, it connects. Nothing wrong with the phone, working like it is supposed to. The only way to wifi connected all of the time is to have the device connected to power.

  • Wireless Signal Drops Every Few Minutes; Impossible to Load/Use Chat Client

    Hi,
    I have an iBook G4 laptop with an Airport Card installed under the keyboard (I guess it's Express? Not sure). At home, my roomates have a Windoze PC desktop using Verizon DSL connected with a Westell Modem and a Linksys Router for wireless access. This connection seems stable and is always on, as their AIM client is always running and shows no connection disruption. She also has an IBM laptop, which connects wirelessly through a Linksys card, and while I'm not sure whether she has any connection disruption or not, I don't think so or else I probably would have been asked to take a look at it by now Although, it isn't "always on" like the desktop, so I'm not sure.
    I am accessing her DSL connection wirelessly, as I've mentioned, through my iBook. When I am browsing the Web however, I sometimes try to link to a page just when the connection is resetting, so I receive the "page cannot be displayed because you are not connected to the internet" warning. If I immediately refresh the page, it usually loads right away. Sometimes I have to reload 2-3 times, but it always works without having to tweak any configurations in Network at all.
    This is a little aggravating, but liveable. Except for the fact that I am unable to run a chat client at all, since the signal drops intermittently and the client has to constantly resign on, and holding a chat conversation with constant disconnects would be impossible.
    If I had to guess, I'd say the connection resets itself at least every 15 mins or so, maybe more.
    I'm wondering if anyone else has any problem of this sort? Do I need to tweak some sort of settings? Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you!

    I am having a similar problem. I am using a Powerbook G4, with three airport expresses (one per floor on the house). Often, I get a messages saying that I am not connected to the internet and sometimes if I wait it will reconnect and sometimes it doesn't. When it doesn't, I check the settings on the Airport Express (AE). It seems that the password to get me on the network had duplicated itself so it's now 26 characters long instead of 13. I have two other computers on the network, a PC on Windows XP and a new iMac (when I say new, I mean two weeks old, already out of date PowerPC). ANYWAY, they work fine. I am thinking that they other computers are using signal from the two remaining AEs that are working closest to the base/internet connection.
    I put a call into Apple three times and we basically just keep throwing out my system configuration files in my user, and then starting from scratch. So far that has not helped the problem.
    I think the most important thing to note is that I have upgraded all three of my AEs to v6.3 and this is when the trouble started.
    Has anyone any solutions?
    Also, what happened to the spell check feature that used to be here for posting messages?

  • Bell TV receptor signal drop every 4 min caused by TimeCapsule

    I just got my Fibe 50 installed here in Quebec, Canada, and every 4 minutes there is a signal drop. I had 2 technicians coming home and finally we discovered that there is a DHCP conflit between both of them. When I turn off the TimeCapsule and uses only bell router, the problem disappears. Does anybody had the same problem or know if there is any configuration to solve the problem? In the TimeCapsule settings I have already changed to allow 5Hz bandwidth but did not work. Thanks a lot.

    If you are supplied a router then the TC has to be in bridge mode.. that is router bridge..
    Open the airport utility and make sure in the dhcp and NAT section you have it set to bridge.
    Then you can set fixed channels to the wireless that are different to the bell router.. or turn off wireless altogether.. you can still access the TC via the bell router.

  • Why does my signal drop every time I try to use an application.

    I've got a UFO style 802.11g, which I unfortunately kept up to date with the updates.
    For well over a year now I've had my gear set up like this, airport in the den, my wife's older Imac in the den with it, the printer in the den as well and my Imac across the house. Now, everything in the den connects like cake. Always up, always a great signal.
    My Imac across the house has always had it's ups and downs, we've got a stone fireplace and out kitchen in between. Basically, it's 3 rooms away. A whole bunch of walls and corners for the signal to bounce off of. So, I know, not an ideal set up. But it's worked ok for a good long time.
    So, a few months ago I performed the recommended update. It said that it would increase connection quality. So I thought, hey, this might help me out! At first glance my connection seemed great! I never lost a bar, not while I was looking anyway. Then I started noticing that occasionally I switch a webpage or some such and it would tell me that I wasn't connected to the internet. What? I look up and I've got all the bars, so I try again and get through... then I notice the bars just flat out go dead. Now I can't connect again. Odd.
    Ok, so I start paying attention and it just drops out at random... now, the signal used to fluctuate up and down fairly regularly before the update. I'd researched the problem and found out all the things that can interrupt my signal, and basically I've got em all in between my Airport and my Imac. I could live with that, because it would slow down, but it stayed connected for the most part. This was something new.
    Ok, back to the problem at hand. Now I see the signal is either all bars or none. No 2 bars, no 3 bars. Here or gone. And while I'm paying attention, I notice that practically every time I click on something, from my mail app to a preview image the signal drops to nothing. Seemed a coincidence at first, but know I'm certain that it isn't.
    So, random complete signal loss and complete signal loss when I use and app. Really not pleased.
    Ok, so I figured maybe there's a fix on the way, but I've heard nothing of it. I installed the most recent update, absolutely no effect. Oh, and this one too was supposed to provide better connectivity. Where? I'm not seeing it! Everything in the den works just as well as it ever has. That's one of the things I've loved about Mac for more than 10 years. Easy to use and reliable. But this, this is just a big old pain.
    I've tried to extend the network unsuccessfully with the Express. I've got another option to try with that, so my fingers are crossed. But I just don't get why my network is now worse than when I set it up when the only change that's been made have been the updates that I installed at Apple's insistence that my signal would actually be better.
    Sorry for being so long winded, and for anyone who made it this far... is there anything that I can do? I really do prefer to have my office in the room that it's in, but it doesn't help me at all when I have to move my Imac to use it online.

    This may sound stupid, but I'm gonna throw it out there anyway. Is it possible, that if I have enough junk on my desktop it might disrupt the signal? It seems odd, but it kind of looks like my signal is strong and relatively steady now that I've cleaned my desktop. I do tend to get very cluttered. I use a lot of reference images and save text clippings to use later... it just piles up very quickly.
    So, I wonder if all that extra effort my system has to do keeping up with the junk might have something to do with the drop outs?

  • IPhone service dropping every minute

    So I've been having this problem since last night. Every minute, my service will completely drop out and show "No Service" and then an instant later it will start searching, and then reconnect. I opened up my diagnostics and usage data log, and looked through the massive list of errors from today alone and each one says the same thing
    deviceId: (i'll withhold this info)
    isAnonymous: true
    deviceConfigId: 101
    triggerTime: 1325278144287
    triggerId: 524308
    profileId: 10127
    investigationId: 0
    metricCCAirplaneMode {
    airplaneModeEnable: false
    timestamp: 1325278144286
    Now, I looked at prior error reports and there were similar ones, but right when this started happening, I saw the "metricCCAirplaneMode" section of that code come up, so could my phone be continuously trying to turn airplane mode on and off? And if so, how do I stop it? Would restoring from a backup fix?

    According to your information you have iOS 5.0.1, most likely build 9A405, running on your iPhone 4. Apple recently updated the build of iOS 5.0.1 to help with this issue. Restoring your iPhone using the most recent build of 5.0.1 (Build 9A406) should fix the problem.

  • WRT150N - Signal drops every other day

    Have a WRT150N in our home and every other day the signal cannot be found.  I have to unplug it for about 5-10 seconds and the plug it back in.  After that, the signal shows back up.  I am running Firmware version 1.01.9.
    Any thoughts on what needs to be changed to stop this issue?
    Thanks,
    Donnie

    I suggest calling linksys.  I've had similar problems with intermittent and limited connectivity for a few weeks since i purchased the router.
    They had me on with a level 2 resource.  I can't remember everything we changed in the router settings.  We changed a few of the settings that were "mixed" to a standard option.  I'm also on channel 11 now.  we also changed in the wireless settings the beacon interval?? to 50 and 2 other items i abbreviated  -- FT to 2306  ( i think it was 2346) and RTS to 2307 (i think it was 2347). 
    Sorry I did not capture all of the changes on paper, but it's probably best if you call them.   I tried calling on a sunday at first and was on hold for 45 minutes.  At about 11pm EST on Monday, i got through in less than 5 minutes. 
    All in all the 30 minute phone call was well worth the investment as i tried for a few hours resolving this on my own.
    Good luck.

    Does it help to make it many numbers away from the neighbors?
    ideally, you'll want your router to broadcast on a channel that is "5" away from others (if the other channel is 11, you'll want 5 or 6). obviously, in a crowded environment, that may not be possible.
    Also since I have 4 computers connected to the gateway and they were fast and good
    are they connecting to the 5 GHz or 2.4 GHz band ? there is (for now) less equipment using the 5 GHz band ...
    check this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2412843&start=0&tstart=0. you will find a lot of information and tips here.
    Is it the new Ipod Touches 3G that are like this only?
    i have a (refurbished) 2nd gen Touch so can't really say much about later models.
    Are their software or hardware problems that I can't fix and should return? I like the Ipod Touch for everthing else, but gee the wi-fi is worthless this way.
    i wouldn't give up so easily. my Touch has not given me any wi-fi problems despite the fact that i can see @ least 12 other networks in my area.

  • 5.0.1 constant signal drop after every 2 minutes

    As soon as I updated the software in 4s to 5.0.1 the neverending trouble started. There are constant signal drop resulting communication lost and despite the signal bar showing full strength. can any one help, Have already triesd the SIM PIN option can any one help? would really appreciate it

    mAN?
    with that type of config. you have? you should not have any problems.
    especially with the intervideo program 'cause it captures in mpg and it is a very loose coding (better said no coding at all)
    try turning the ht off through bios
    or try this prog.

  • I dropped my iphone 3gs in water and grabbed it immediately out. It gave me a charger is not supported with device screen every minute or two. I powered it off for the night. I havent experienced problems since. Why does it still work?

    I dropped my iphone 3gs in water and grabbed it immediately out. It gave me a charger not supported sign every minute or two. I decided to turn it off for the night and the next morning it worked fine and only the bottom sensor was triggered. Why does it still work and how long will it last?

    Water in itself will not kill electronic components if you let it dry out.  Your first reaction to turn it off was a good one but you could have waited even longer.
    It also depends what's on your water that will stay after the water itself had dried; like salt. Anything that iseither acid or conductor left on the circuit board will reduce the life of the board.  Given said this, no one could state how long your iPhone will work since no one will know for sure where the water had time to infiltrate before you removed your device and no one what's may left there.
    Consider yourself lucky.  I don't understand however what you mean by a sensor triggered.

    Hope this is the answer to your problem.

  • Time capsule keeps dropping ethernet connection to BT Voyager every minute

    I have just bought a 1TB TC to get the benefit of better wireless and the backup facility all in one. Previously I used a BT Voyager 2110 as ADSL modem and wireless router. I have set up the TC to connect from the WAN port to the LAN port on the BT router, put TC in bridge mode, and disabled wireless on the BT voyager. This means the BT Voyager does all the DCHP config and PPPoA, transmits this to the TC via ethernet and then TC broadcasts this on wireless. So far so good.
    The TC works with this ok, but for whatever reason keeps losing the ethernet connection every minute or so. Literally almost flickering from amber light ('ethernet cable unplugged' for about 1-2 seconds) then back to green light sometimes several times a minute. This means I get no continuous or stable connection, e.g. for downloading/gaming online. The same happens if the BT router is in bridge mode and the TC configures the PPPoA itself - it has to 'renegotiate' every minute or so, which is very frustrating.
    The ethernet cable is fine (I have tried two different cables), and each works with no problem if iMac is connected to TC (no internet though obviously), or if iMac is connected via LAN to the router for direct internet access - the network settings in system preferences shows no similar frequent loss of connection. The problem only seems to arise as between BT router and TC via ethernet. I have done resets of both the TC and the router, both are on the latest firmware updates as well so I am now at a loss. If anyone can help it would be really appreciated! Thanks.

    Hi there, thanks for your quick reply.
    Well I'm not actually trying to get the TC to do that function, merely to wirelessly broadcast what has been negotiated by the BT Router. I.e. the router is not a bridge letting the TC do the work, but rather the router has all the settings and then this is just fed down the ethernet, just like it would be to a computer.
    Connection settings have always been 'connect using' ethernet, and 'connection sharing' is off (bridge mode).
    The thing is that this config clearly does work as I can get internet access, but I can't work out why the ethernet connection is dropped so frequently (and at all) which means I have no stable connection.
    I have tried changing the router to PPPoE, which still gives me internet access but does not resolve the problem of the ethernet connection being dropped.

  • Audio drops out for a ½ second about every minute

    Hi There,
    I’m wondering if anyone else is experiencing this problem. I have a 3 G with 3.0. When listening to Bluetooth audio through the SYNC system of my Ford Focus, the audio drops out for a ½ second about every minute. It does this persistently.
    Any fixes?

    My 3GS seems to have an occasional dropout using A2DP with my Kenwood head unit, but I don't think it ever happened with my 3G (both running OS 3.0). It seems like some kind of a latency issue between the iphone and the head unit.
