TS1398 Intermittent WiFi

IPhone 4 and IPad 2 no longer stays connected to local WiFi for more than a few minutes. No problems with the same connection for last 6 months, WiFi is working with non apple devices

I read an article that said that some have achieved greater stability by changing their security setting to WEP.  (The issue seems to be more pronounced with WPA2.  See http://www.macrumors.com/2012/09/23/reports-of-slow-and-inconsistent-wi-fi-conne ctions-on-iphone-5/.)

  • Why do I have Intermittent Wifi Connection Loss during music streaming ?

    Hello,
    I have an ipad3 and an iPhone 4S and I am getting with both devices interruption of the sound when I send music to the Apple TV. It generally happens after a few minutes. The signal for the wifi is still good and I have still access to the Internet  I have tried all the recommendations of the article "iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections" but this did not help. I have used several applications for sending music to the Apple TV (music application from Apple and DSAudio from Synology) but I'm getting the same issue. I have also the same issue with the media center application from Bouygues Telecom connecting directly to my internet router. My router is a bbox sensation. I had also the same kind of issue with my old router when sensing photo albums to the internet: I had the error message "your system is running low on ressources". How can I solve these intermittent wifi connection losses ?

    Try #5.
    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)

  • Wrv210 intermittent wifi on mac's

    i recently purchased a wrv210 router. it's got the latest (2.0.0.11) firmware. my windows based computers seem to work off the wifi without problem but my two mac's (an imac and a macbook pro) have intermittent wifi connection. they connect for some time then drop the connection and back again. wired connections are solid.
    i have tried several wifi settings, various channels, i have even downgraded to 1.??? (linksys) firmware.
    most routers i have installed before work almost out of the box. are we dealing with a)hardware issue b) settings issue c) mac issue?
    thanks for anyone's response

    I am having this same problem.
    However it doesn't matter what operating system. The wireless just drops after a wihile and nothing can connect to it.
    Only a reboot will get it working again. It can last for a few days or a few hours. Doesn't seem to be any pattern.

  • Since upgrading to ios7 I have intermittent wifi problems with ipad2

    since upgrading to ios7 I have intermittent wifi problems with ipad2

    You need a larger internal drive and you definitely need to uninstall any Avast product, using the instructions at the developer's website. A 120GB SSD with only 9.6GB free just isn't going to cut it - you need at least 9GB in free space just to run Mavericks and many people suggest that 10-15% of your disk (particularly on a SSD) should be free space.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • Intermittant wifi drop-out on IMac 21', latest model?

    I have an intermittant wifi drop-out on my IMac. This is the latest version IMac purchased just over 3 months ago!
    The drop-out appears to be similar to wifi turning itself off and then back on.

    Which means exactly what? One iPad can connect intermittently and one doesn't connect at all?  This makes it sound to me like you are having WiFi issues with both of them. At least that's how I interpret your statement. 
    Start by rebooting your router. Unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

  • How can I fix an intermittent wifi connection with my MacBook laptop

    I have experienced intermittent problems with the wifi connection on my MacBook (2006, 10.6.5 OSX) computer and noticed that other users have commented about this same issue.  Not sure if the problem revolves around the updates from Apple or my wifi card but I only seem to loose my wifi connection with the MacBook.  I have other Apple products, Iphones, Ipads and IMac and they all retain the wifi connection.  Additionally, when I connect the internet cable directly to the MacBook, there is no loss of signal and I have no problem connecting to the Internet. 
    Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

    After several unsuccessful attempts to resolve my intermittent wifi connection with a 2006 MacBook (I had service techs from Apple store, PeachMac and Computer Advantage check the intermittent wifi problem in store and they could not recreate this issue), I broke down and bought a new wifi card and installed it myself.  The intermittent problem was resolved and my wifi connection works fine everywhere in my home.  Ifixit's website has a great video that explains in detail how to remove and install a new wifi card and you will need the right tools and patience.  Thanks to everyone that posted comments about this issue because the comments proved helpful in solving my problem.

  • IPad and iPhone Intermittent WiFi with Cisco

    I have around 35 iPhones and iPads that are at best intermittent with our internal wireless network. I have been working with Cisco for two days and they are unable to resolve the issue. The WiFi works perfectly with our notebooks so it is definetly narrowed down to the Apple hardware needing a special configuration other than the ones we have tried.
    I am currently using a Cisco WLC2106 controller with 1142N access points. The dhcp is working. I can forget the network or turn off the WiFi and back on and get an assigned address. At first it took several minutes to populate but Cisco helped me resolve that first problem. The iPhones and iPads will get the private IP but will not allow it to go out on the Internet. I get a good association (WiFi indicator in top-left is full strength.) At times one iPad will connect and another will stop working. For example: yesterday I had my iPad, laptop, and iPhone while I was working with Cisco. All three were connected to the WiFi network with seperate IP's. The laptop never stopped working. My iPhone worked for a few minutes and then I left the office with my phone for about 20 miinutes. When I returned the iPad worked but my iPhone did not, even after making sure the iPhone reconnected and gave it more than 10 minutes and a reboot. I have configured 1 iPad1, 2 iPad2's, and four iPhone 4's. They are all intermittent and I have yet to figure out any formula for why one might work while the others stop. I have done resets on them, statically assigned ip's, and changed DNS settings. Again, the laptop never missed a beat while the iPads just come and go. The way I have been testing is through using a website in Safari on the iPad or iPhone to check the external IP to make sure it is our ISP and not using ATT 3G. I also check the App Store which also fails on WiFi. The WiFi works fine at home with my linksys router. I have tried changing the WiFi encryption from WPA2 to WEP and even disabled the security for testing. Even with no encryption the same result prevails. Maybe one out of five tries to connect works and it alternates between devices. If I didn't know any better I would think it was an IP conflict or a maximum connection limit somewhere.
    Here is the general config:
    Cisco based wireless using no encryption. I will eventaully need to go WPA2 but for troubleshooting I have tried it as open. I am not broadcasting SSID. I CAN connect to WiFi network and receive IP, Gateway, DNS, and Domain Name consistently. I CANNOT access the Internet consistently. This is a business network with Cisco Catalyst Switches, Routers, and Firewalls. Again, the laptops that connect using WiFi are working as intended,
    Does Apple have publicly accessible engineers for these situations? I have left the case open with Cisco in order to provide as much information as possible to Apple.
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    Internally I am not blocking any traffic. I have over 100 other Windows devices, cameras and printers on this single subnet. I'm not using any other Apple hardware at this time so I'm not sure what the Bonjour will do for me that TCP/IP can't do. I am also not using Bonjour at either of the homes I have done other testing on.
    One more tidbit. One of our goals is to use FaceTime between the iPads. I have successfully connected a few times between the devices but it's almost every time I connect two iPads to FaceTime they will not connect again. Without changing anything else on the WiFi or the Firewall I can come back the next day, reset the iPads, obtain Internet access and the FaceTime will work. Thanks gyrhead!

  • Mac Book Pro 15" Mountain Lion 10.8 Intermittent WiFi

    Hello All
    I know this is a well-discussed problem already but I'll try to provide relevant details to make this post not just another rant and run-around of solutions we already know.
    Before ML Reinstall (not erase and install):
    - Intermittently Safari would stop loading and would say no internet connection
    - My WiFi would then say, after trying to reconnect, 'connection timed-out, cannot connect to AirBears' (our school WiFi name)
    - So I would try to reboot, reset SMC, reset PRAM
    - Then everytime: 'no hardware installed' when I click the WiFi radar icon in the menubar
    - I try to repair permissions, reboot, adjust network settings here and there according to whats floating around online (new location, MTU, DHCP, KeyChain)
    - Then by some random rhythmn and combination of things it would work, for a bit
    - I would get the same issues whether on school or home networks; observed for about 3-4 days
    After ML Reinstall (not erase and install):
    - It was fine for about two days but only because I was using WiFi from my home.
    - As soon as I got on AirBears to start the week it came back after only two hours of use
    - Took to school technicians, they ran hardware tests and reset the PRAM and SMC only to resurface the 'no hardware installed' thing
    - They recommended I reformat my drive because its probably a tiny kink in the entire web of software(s)
    - I dont wanna do that, especially since TM would just slap that kinked code right back in there
    - Im at home now and its working fine
    My Comments:
    - AirBears (school network) seems to be a suspect
    - ML reinstall seems to have suprssed the problem (at least now i dont have the problem at home)
    - SMC and PRAM reset seems to induce this 'no hardware installed' problem which is resolved by rebooting
    My Questions:
    - How can I find out definitively if its hardware or software related? This seems to be a smart first step.

    It's neither. The problem is enterprise IT. Either the router hardware they bought is junk or they have misconfigured it. I'm sure at some point they will offer to replace your Mac with a nice, plastic Lenovo.

  • Intermittent Wifi DNS Problem

    Blackberry Curve 8900, Software v 5.0.0.411 (Platform 5.2.0.31)
    I seem to have a really annoying intermittent problem with my phone.  Sometimes, it works on my home network perfectly, and other times the Wifi symbol goes grey and I can't browse the internet on it using Hotspot Browser.  All other devices on the network will all be working fine whilst this is going on.
    The home screen shows that I am connected to wifi - the SSID is shown - but wifi diagnostics shows that it is not connecting to either the Blackberry infrastructure, or the Enterprise.
    The phone is getting the correct DNS server addresses from the router, but it doesn't seem to be able to handle any DNS requests.  I can ping and telnet rcp.eu.blackberry.com perfectly from my laptop, but the phone won't resolve an address for it.
    Usually (but not always) a battery pull will sort it out for a while, and sometimes a router reboot will do it.  Switching the wifi off and on again never works.
    Having said it seems like a DNS issue, I can't actually ping the router's IP address from the phone so perhaps it's not a DNS issue at all and it's not actually connected to the my router, despite appearing to be so.  
    I've checked the router logs and there are no obvious error messages in there which would explain this.
    Has anyone got any suggestions as to things I can try?  I don't think it's reasonable to have to reboot either my phone or the router 4 or 5 times a day and it gets extremely irritating as I have to keep my phone near me for work, and me happens to be near my computer speakers so when it falls off the wifi, I'm constantly getting that irritating speaker interference!
    Many thanks,
    Emily.

    I have a feeling this might be related - if I switch Data Services off in Mobile Network, I get exactly the same symptoms.  If I look at the DNS lookup tool from within 'Mobile Network' rather than the WiFi screen, it tells me that it doesn't have any DNS server addresses.
    It looks as though my issues might be to do with losing data coverage (I tend to sit in an area which doesn't have great signal).  Surely the Curve 8900 should be able to maintain internet connectivity via Wifi even if there is no mobile data coverage?  I've seen that this should be possible as a solution when using the phone abroad - switch data off to avoid the higher charges, but still be able to use hotel wifi, etc.  Other users have reported being able to do this, but from what I can tell, my phone isn't able to work like this at the moment.
    Any suggestions?  Or can anyone else at least confirm that they are able to use Wifi to get on the internet even with mobile Data Services switched off?
    Thanks,
    Emily.
    [Edit] P.S. This would also explain why I couldn't get internet on my phone at all this morning despite rebooting both it and the router, as Vodafone were reporting voice, sms and internet network outages in the UK today

  • My Mac desktop has intermittent Wifi connectivity

    I've had a problem with wifi connectivity for over a year now, and have had the desktop repaired once already, with no improvement. Upgrade to Mavericks has made no difference.
    The computer always thinks that I have a connection to my network. In system preferences it says 'connected' but I don't actually have a connection to the internet, for example. Streaming to the Apple TV stops, or the website stops loading.
    However when I go to Network Preferences and click 'assist me' then I don't have all 6 lights in green, but maybe 2-3 green and the rest yellow. I go through the reconnection, get 6 green lights, and all is back to normal.
    I have many, many other things connected to this wifi network (1 desktop, 2 laptops, 2 phones, 2 ipads, 1 apple TV, one speaker) and everything else has no problems, so it is clearly not the network.
    Any tips, short of throwing the desktop away and buying a new one? My nearest Apple Store is in Paris (I live in Brussels) so no Genius bar for me. Plus no car.

    Thanks, but as it's an intermittent problem, and only my desktop is having it - everything else doesn't disconnect, it's more likely a problem with the computer than the network itself. Everything is up to date.
    However this morning I noted that the Time Capsule thought it was in the UK (which doesn't cause a problem to anyone else, but I fixed it) and I also switched on the 5GHZ network option and connected to that.
    Wireless Diagnostics is monitoring my wifi connection. I wonder if anyone knows how to interpret the logs it produces when/if my connection fails?

  • Intermittent wifi issues has already been replaced once

    This is my 2nd IPad 3 as I had wifi problems with the 1st one
    It's has been happening again
    It happens connected to other wifi not just my home one
    My dad has an iPad 3 and never had a problem
    I never had problems with the iPad 2
    I just want to be able to watch a program without having to switch the wifi off & on to get it working again
    I have reset settings & deleted the cookies but didn't help
    Help please!

    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.

    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.
