Timecapsule kills internet/wifi connection, when starting backup?

Everytime my timecapsule start backing up, my wifi/internet connection is killed?
I still see my airport in the top bar wifi logo, but no internet connection
I have to restart timecapsule before i get my internet back
Im on a imac 27" fully upgraded with OSX Lion
Anyone?

Unless you're backing up more than one device, a Time Capsule is a rather expensive Time Machine device.
That display shows that you're connecting over the 2.4 GHz band, which tends to be slower with an ideal connection, but tends to hold up better over distance and through interferences such as walls.
Is there any way you could connect your iMac to the Time Capsule with an Ethernet cable, at least long enough to run a test of a Time Machine backup.  Before you run such a test, be sure that there's an Ethernet connection item in the list in the Network panel of System Preferences.  To assure that you're using the Ethernet connection, you might also want to turn off the iMac's Wi-Fi feature.
Still another option might be PowerLine equipment.  For less than the cost of an AirPort Extreme you could have near-Ethernet speeds without the need for a cable.

  • I just updated my iphone 4 to ios6 and now I can't keep the wifi connection to stay on. I have to keep entering my wifi password when the phone goes to sleep. How do I keep the wifi connection when I wake up the phone?

    I just updated my iphone 4 to ios6 and I can't keep the wifi connection when the phone goes to sleep. I need to keep entering my wifi password when I wake up the phone. How do I keep the wifi on each time I walk into my house without reentering my password?

    What? Do you work for Apple?
    I have been on the phone for Apple since 5:30 Eastern Time today. We are still on the phone with them. It is 10:14 PM. We are going to get a new phone because the ios6 has major problems! The wifi connectivity is a serious problem. Apple is aware of it. More people need to do something about it. I am willing to start a class action suit against them. I have means to an attorney pro bono. If you are having problems using your iphone 4 or 4s with wifi and ios6...I suggest you spend time calling a senior advisor and get a new phone sent to you. They know they messed up but they can't fix it.

  • IPad WiFi/3G dropping WiFi connection when sleeping

    Just recently, my IPad just started dropping it's wifi connection when it goes ton sleep, and it isn't automatically reconnecting. This is my home network, and previously it did reconnect on wake. I have open preferences and manually reconnect every time I wake the iPad.

    Ok. I am surprised I haven't heard this from you smart people:
    *The wifi problems are specific to certain types of routers!!!*
    Example: My Pad works like a champ at work. The router there is an old Linksys G.
    It works like crap at home. At home I have a newer Belkin N/G.
    That's why some people have problems and some don't: It depends on the router.
    So...My question is: What is the best router for an iPad?
    I'm willing to go out an buy it; I just want someone to tell me the best one!!
    Is it really necessary to spam so many threads with this?

    My iMac loses wif connection when it goes to sleep.  How do I correct?

    Are you running OS X Lion? If so there are unfortunately numerous threads on here discussing exactly the same problem. So far there doesn't seem to be a definitive solution, with everyone hoping that Apple will come up with a permanent fix.
    Here's a quick search of these forums alone - depressing reading:

    Why does my IPhone loss WIFI connection when I leave the room? When other mobile devices stay connected?
    I can not send text messages to other IPhones if I do not have wifi or 3G on, the texts are sent as emails.

    Hey Linders1987,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand that you are experiencing issues with Wi-Fi on your iPhone 5. The following resource may provide a solution:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/TS1398
    Wi-Fi disconnects or signal strength is less than expected
    Move closer to the Wi-Fi router (access point).
    Check for sources of potential interference.
    Remove any case, stand, or other accessories from your iOS device and see if signal strength improves.
    Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Note: This will reset all network settings including
    - previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
    - recently used Bluetooth accessories
    - VPN and APN settings
    Thanks,

  • No instant Wlan connection when starting up Satellite L650

    Hello,
    I have had connection problems with my L650 Toshiba for the past couple of months.
    I bought my laptop a year ago (October 2010), and everything was working perfectly until April 2011.
    The first few months, my computer would connect automatically to the internet once it started up.
    Since April 2011, my computer takes about 2 minutes to connect to a wireless internet connection when I start it up, whether it is my home connection or work connection.
    Once it does connect, the wireless connection works perfectly.
    The problem does not come from a wireless router because it happens with all wireless connections. Furthermore, I have tried updating the drivers for the wireless adapter (Broadcom 802.11n) with no success at all.
    I would be grateful if someone could provide possible solutions to the problem.
    Thanks in advance.

    So what is the problem exactly?
    The Wlan connects fine but it takes two minutes until the connection has been established?
    Right?
    Well, it could be possible that something is running in the OS background and therefore it takes some time until the notebook could connect to the Wlan.
    In my case the notebook needs some time to connect to Wlan because the virus scanner and CCleaner run at the startup and scans the HDD and the system.
    After that the notebook connects to Wlan.

  • Unreliable WiFi connections when on battery power

    I've had my MBP for 2 weeks. It worked flawlesly for the first 10 days. Since then, when running on battery power, my WiFi connection drops repeatedly, and at random intervals. Signal strength is good always (on a/c pwr or batt) and I am always able to reconnect via the menu bar by re-selecting my network.
    I believe that this started happening after the latest updates were downloaded and installed.
    Again, this only happens when running on battery power...
    Any ideas?

    This is an issue that has appeared in many threads. It looks like OS X Tiger has a driver issue with certain wireless APs - something related to power management.
    In my case, I had no trouble with my Netgear AP but when I recently switched to a Linksys running DD-WRT open source software, I would drop my connection on battery every 2 minutes or so.
    Same computer using Windows has no drops. I have not seen any press that Apple has admitted to the issue.
    Until then, use the workaround that has been suggested. Run the Cococonut Wifi. This is a menu-bar utility that shows a count of open APs in the area. However, the side-effect is to keep the wireless driver open and stop the disconnects. It worked for me. The URL is: http://coconut-flavour.com/coconutwifi/index.html

  • Mac mini loses wifi connection when using vnc....

    I currently dont have an aextra keyboard, mouse and monitor so for short term id like to connect remotely to it. I configured the sharing settings in system preferences on my mac. Im running Mac OS X Lion 10.7 and Im using tightvnc on my windows computer and its having a hard time getting connected to the mac mini. I notice when I try to connect my wifi connection on the mini drops. Can anyone tell me why this is? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    We'd need a Monitor & KB/Mouse on the Mini, or another Mac to log into it, but you might try navigation to...
    /private/var/log folder on the Mac & maybe look at the system.log if you can on a PC.

  • IPad 2 constantly drops WiFi connection when tethered to iPhone via Hotspot

    I have a wifi only iPad 2 that I tether to my iPhone 4 via the personal hotspot. The iPhone and the iPad are constantly being separated throughout the day and my problem is that when the iPad gets back in range of the iPhone hotspot it won't reconnect at all! In fact the iPad no longer sees the iPhone as a wifi option in the network list even though the iPhone hotspot is running just fine (other devices cam still see and connect to the iPhone hotspot)
    I have to turn off the iPhone hotspot, wait 2 seconds and then turn it back on. Then the iPad sees the hotspot again and connects.
    Also if I turn the auto lock off on the iPad so that it never locks, then it will reconnect to the iPhone hotspot just fine. But the problem with turning auto lock off is that the screen has to stay on all day!
    There is obviously something wrong that is happening when the iPad locks. It drops the wifi connection and then does not reconnect when I turn the screen back on.
    Is there anything I can do to make sure the iPad reconnects to the hotspot whenever I get back in range without having to keep it on all the time?

    Re: iphone 4s - HOTSPOT - WILL NOT STAY CONNECTED
    Mar 13, 2012 1:20 PM (in response to coalxman)
    I have been having that problem for 6 months and my IT guy finally found a solution by mining the web. I don't know the source of the answer to give credit but it works !
    Text of blog posting below:
    t does, thanks! I was getting really frustrated with connecting my iPad to my 4S via Personal Hotspot. After a fresh boot of the phone it would work as expected but if the connection was terminated (say by switching hotspot off and on) or after the two hadn't been connected for a while it got into this state where I could see and connect to the hotspot but it would drop a few seconds later then try again over and over.
    After a lot of experimenting I finally figured out that there seems to be a pretty serious bug in the hotspot's DHCP server. AP discovery and WPA authentication work great but in this weird state the iPhone will not give the connecting device an IP. The only solution to fix the DHCP server is to reboot the phone.
    That being the case, grasshoppertrekker's advice is bang on - you need to give the connecting device a static IP address. This gets around the DHCP issue.
    For the less technically inclined, here's how to do that with an iPad:
    - Reboot your phone and connect to the hotspot as usual and ensure the connection works
    - On the iPad go to Settings - WiFi and tap the arrow to the right of your iPhone's name
    - Write down all the values you see under the DHCP tab
    - Tap the Static tab (or Manual)
    - Enter in the same values you just write down
    - Hit "WiFi Networks" at the top to go back
    The iPad will now reconnect using the same settings as DHCP would have given it, but without relying on the broken DHCP server.
    Optional extra: Instead of using whatever DNS values the DHCP server (and by extension your mobile data ISP) gives you, use OpenDNS IP's instead. This will speed up YouTube due to their partnership with Google and prevent your ISP from traking your web usage via DNS interception. To do this enter the following into the DNS field under the Static tab: 208.67.222.222,208.67.220.220 (note the comma)

  • ATV2 shuts down wifi connection when sleeping

    If I let my ATV2 go to sleep then about 10 seconds after that happens then I can lon longer ping it and Airplay stops being prrsented as an option on my iphone. I beleive it is shutting down the wifi connection as part of the sleep process.
    Is there any way to ensure I can still Airplay to it whilst it is in sleep mode. This used to work but oddly stopped. I have tried upgrading to 5.2 but it has made no difference.
    Does anyone have an answer or is there any way I can diagnose what is going on ?
    Denis

    Maybe the question is wrong. The ATV2 was also used to host a web site (lighttpd) and used to work happily whilst in sleep mode but that now no longer works, nor can I SSH to the device. Connecting via eithernet isn't an option sadly.
    Seems the bonjour wake on demand does work, so I can use Airplay whilst the ATV is asleep and it wakes, but not anything to do with TCP/IP
