Unstable WiFi on NB200

I have a recently bought NB200. I have 10Mbit Virgin Media (Cable ISP) into my house then to a wireless router. The connection is completely problem free via my iPhone, iPod Touch and other laptop.
However, when connecting via this new nb200 it is unstable. The connection may be fine for hours, or break mutliple times within minutes. When the connection breaks my wireless connection within Windows shows as being fine, with Excellent signal strength.
The only way to repair it is to reboot, or run the Windows Network Diagnostic Utility, which reports that nothing is wrong, but somehow repairs the connection....
Please help as this is driving me crazy. If this cant be resolved the machine will have to be returned I think.

Hi
Its not easy to say why your WiFi connection is unstable
First of all I would try to update the WLAN driver. Latest version can be found on the Toshiba website if you search for your model (NB200). Download and install it.
Make also sure that your BIOS version is up to date. You can get it on the Toshiba website too. Sometimes I can read here that WLAN connection works stable after such an update.
Last but not least try updating the firmware of your router. I had a similar issue that WLAN connection wasnt stable but after firmware update it was solved. You can get it on the manufactures website.
Good luck! :)

Satellite P50-A-144: Intel WLAN driver update solves unstable WiFI

The notebook Toshiba Satellite P50-A-144:
The current Toshiba Download Driver version is the 16.5.1 (OEM Version) and is already installed on the notebook, and the current Intel Download Driver version is the 16.10.0 (generic Version).
*This new version solves the problem of unstable WiFi/WLAN Internet connection.*
Will Toshiba have available soon the OEM version updated to the 16.10.0?
Thank you.

Intel has released as of 06/26/2014 a new Driver Version 17.0.5.8 and
Toshiba up to 07/12/2014 still has not updated the corresponding Toshibas OEM Version,
either the previous Intels older Version 16.10.0.5 has not been updated by Toshiba.
It seems the Drivers update by Toshiba takes very very long time until they are ready to download on the Toshiba Support web page.
Unfortunatly, Intel does not recommend to install the generic Driver on Toshiba-OEM Systems, because they do not provide support in case of issues after installation, and suggest to get the Update directly from Toshiba, so there is no other chance, just to wait for the Update until Toshiba released the OEM-Version.
Are there other alternatives?

Thinkpad T440p unstable wifi connection

I purchased a Thinkpad T440p during last Christmas. I always have unstable wifi connection. I have updated all the drivers, changed to different wifi enrionments, and restored my laptop to factory conditions. Still, it is very unstable. Anybody here can give out possible solutions? I know I am within the warranty period. But I am using laptop everyday, and don't want to ship it to Lenovo for a long-time fix.

Try this driver?

4.3 upgrade issues - battery drain, unstable WiFi, freezing, wake-up lag/freeze

I've been (also) experiencing issues since my Galaxy S3 was pushed the 4.3 update on the morning of 1/11/2014. The worst is the battery drain - losing more than 50% of battery life within 4 hours of 100% with only minor texting during that time - with the charging process taking nearly 3 times longer to fully recharge. The moment it's removed from the power cord, it drops to 98%. This was not happening before update.
Today, I called Verizon's technical support who recommended a factory restore. Since I read endless posts/experiences of this not resolving the issues, I chose not to take that path and to work with Samsung to understand when a fix would be pushed. After 45 minutes on the phone with Samsung explaining the issues as if they'd never heard of such problems with the update - I was told that I clearly had water damage to my battery which was causing all of my issues. Sure, and everyone else who owns an S3 in these forums has the same water damage. Of course, the moment I asked to speak with the Samsung rep's superior, our phone connection grew dim, sputtered as if it were a bad mobile connection, and suddenly disconnected.
I experience the "Unstable Internet Connection" to WiFi when no other phones have issues with these networks. They're the same networks I've always used - but since the update, they're now "unstable".
The lag to wake up when I receive a call or text sometimes takes 10 swipes and a few freezes before it finally unlocks.
I've downloaded no new apps since the upgrade, yet apps I used regularly prior to the upgrade now randomly freeze on me, requiring me to remove the battery to restart the phone.
Unless Verizon is willing to let me out of the 2-year contract since I'm not able to use my phone in the manner to which we'd agreed in that contract, they had better start acknowledging a large-scale problem with this update and work dilligently with Samsung for a speedy resolution. Just seems odd that this update was pulled back in November for these exact issues, yet Verizon chose to allow it to be pushed to their S3 users in January without resolution from Samsung. Gee, wonder if it's so we'll all upgrade to the S5 as it's release is a few months off. Hmmmm.
http://www.sammobile.com/2013/11/18/samsung-delivers-official-statement-regarding-galaxy-s3s-android-4-3-update-issues/

I agree, the upgrade is awful. All I can do is complain publicly and if all of us do, maybe something will be done sooner.

Unstable wifi on battery

Hi all,
Recently I started having problems with my laptop's wifi. It started losing packets, which caused the network being very unstable, even when I am standing next to the router. However, it did not do this all the time. This made it hard to debug. After some weeks, I now found out that it has to do with running on battery. If I run on battery, packets drop and when I run with the power cable attached, the wifi is just fine.
I have an Alienware M17x R4 running arch linux in combination with xfce. My wireless card is the Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 2230 (rev c4).
I made 2 test reports with mtr connecting to google, to compare the situation with and without powercable. You can clearly see the difference.
(I removed the Ip's and domain names for privacy reasons)

I have no idea what it mght do, but xfce4-power-manager also installs upower.
How about this. Can you boot up to the multi-user.target (hopefully without also starting any of teh xfce4 stuff -- particularly upower) and then use the internets from there. See if the battery powered machine in the multi-user.target acts the same way. I'd suggest even using basic networking tools to connect, though I think netctl would also do the trick, since it is just a set of shell scripts around those tools.
I also have an Intel Centrino 2230, and it was a great card (I have since moved on to the only dual band card that is usable with my machine). I do have a coupel friends though who had nothing but problems with the iwlwifi module in general. I have seen a lot of work going into the iwlwifi module in terms of kernel commits, so hopefully things are getting better. I have been meaning to give that card another go, just to see. Maybe I'll do that sometime this weekend. If I get around to it, I'll report back on how things are with 3.11rc6.

Unstable wifi signal after activating 3G

I was traveling and finally activated 3G service on my iPad.
3G works great, but now wifi performance is completely unstable and unreliable.
I have an airport extreme,and all other computers report full and stable signal. On the iPad, wifi is unstable whether or not cellular service is active. Resetting the router or iPad has no effect. Prior to activating 3G, wifi always showed full signal on the iPad.
Help!

If it were me, I'd go into wifi settings and either "forget" network and then set it up again, or just reset network settings all together and start over setting up wifi. The latter choice may be a better option. Since you report that all other computers have good connection(s), then I wouldn't touch the router settings at all. At least one of those "other" computers is wireless correct?

[Solved] Realtek RTL8188SU chip - unstable wifi

Hi All,
I have a wireless usb dongle using the above chip. lsusb says:
Belkin Components F7D1101 v1 Basic Wireless Adapter [Realtek RTL8188SU]
The wifi speed is very unstable (at the beginning of downloading each file, the speed is about 300KB/s, then goes down, down and down to 0). I'm sure that it's not because of my router. Does anybody know how to find where my problem is?
Thank you.
Edit: I would like to thank Xyne a lot. My wireless usb dongle doesn't mention about rtl8192 but he asked me to search for it in the forums and then I found this thread. The solution that works for me is changing the channel. I cannot express how I love the Arch community :-)
Last edited by dxxvi (2013-10-21 16:07:57)

Search for "rtl8192" on the forum (link at the top left). There are numerous threads concerning the consistently poor performance of Realtek wifi cards. You will find instructions for changing some of the power management options which may reduce the rate of dropped connections, but they will keep dropping and speed will remain inconsistent and embarrassingly slow.
You can check which kernel modules your card is using with
lsmod | grep rtl
If you see rtl8192ce in that list, curse your vendor and head out to buy a new dongle. Of course, if your card is using something other than rtl8192* then maybe tweaking the module options will actually lead to decent performance.

Very unstable WIFI connection on Satellite A200 PSAE4E

Just had my A100 Equium replaced with an A200 satellite pro and for some reason I am struggling to get it connected to my WiFi network. I had the old laptop connected fine and was using channel 11 on my WAP.
Now having tried to connect my new laptop I am finding the connection very unstable. I have tried different channel numbers and these have worked mainly the lower numbers, but have proved slow and unreliable. I have other laptops which are fine using my WAP on channel 11.
Anybody else suffered this trouble and what's the solution.
Netgear WAP wg602. No firmware upgrade available

Hi mate
I believe that you known very well that its not easy to say exactly what could causes this WLan interruption.
As far as I know this notebook was delivered with Vista OS. I have read that the Vista OS need to be updated to the latest state and Microsoft patches and fixes must be installed to fix different Wifi issues.
Note that the patches must be updated using the Microsoft update website!
Furthermore I would recommend updating the WLan driver and to check if there could be an compatibility issue between the internal minPCI WLan card and your WLan router. You could also try to check if the WLan works fine without any additional encryption settings.
Best regards and Happy New year ;)

Unstable wifi when using my Samsung Galaxy S3. Any...

I keep seeing the wifi disconnect and reconnect. Anyone else see this?
I have no idea if the fault lies with the phone, hub, or a combination of both, just want to know if others have seen similar.
Thanks.

Same here with my s3 and the hh3, was random when it happened, might be ok for hours and then suddenly start dropping the wifi and reconnecting instantly.
Over on the XDA forums there was some tips and tricks, like turning off the power saving on the wifi on the s3 which is enabled by default, didn't help for me though and it seemed to happen more when my phone was running ics, updated to the official uk release of jellybean and it was alot better but still happened occasionally.
I had been thinking of ditching the hh3 for a while as it lacked features I wanted and earlier this week I installed a netgear wndr4500, great router by the way and I have no idea if it's a coincidence or not but I've never had a wifi problem on my s3 since.

If you're running OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and take the remedial steps suggested in the summary that appears, if any. The program also generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
Step 3
If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. Continue if you find that Wi-Fi is faster with Bluetooth disabled.
From that same menu, select Open Bluetooth Preferences. If the box labeled Discoverable is checked, uncheck it. Click the Advanced button, and in the sheet that opens, uncheck the top three boxes, if any are checked. Click OK. Enable Bluetooth and test again.
If the application called "Bluetooth Setup Assistant" is running, quit it.

Unstable WiFi connectivity in macbook pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013)

Hi guys!
My macbook pro is connected to the internet via WiFi router, and it very often it happens that my macbook loses connectivity with it. WiFi logo shows the same signal strength, but all browsers (Safari & Chrome) can't load webpages.
This issue can be solved by turning WiFi on and off, but it happens again and again. It looks like connectivity loses when Macbook goes in sleep mode and get's back from it, but sometimes connectivity issues happen even without sleep mode switching.
I found in the internet that this issue can be solved by turning off Bluetooth and tried, but it didn't help.
I totally understand that from one point of view this issue is not a big deal, but we are speaking about Apple device, and before I thought that this brand is synonime for ultimate quality and reliability. So please help me with this issue and bring back my faith in Apple;)

Please test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Take the applicable steps in this support article. The Wireless Diagnostics program generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
Step 2
Disconnect all USB 3 devices. If you don't know which are USB 3, disconnect all USB devices except keyboard and mouse.
Step 3
If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. If you find that Wi-Fi works better with Bluetooth disabled, you should use the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band. Your router may not support it; in that case, you need a new router.
Step 4
Open the Network pane in System Preferences and make a note of your settings in the Wi-Fi service. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the various tabs in the preference pane. If the preference pane is locked, unlock it by clicking the padlock icon and entering your administrator password. Delete Wi-Fi from the service list on the left by selecting it and clicking the minus-sign button at the bottom. Then recreate the service by clicking the plus-sign button and following the prompts.
Step 5
Reset the System Management Controller.
Step 6
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.

Unstable WiFi

I have a MacBook Pro with 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7 and 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3. I have OSX Version 10.9.5. Th WiFi on my Mac has a variety of problems at different times. The WiFi will switch between hotspots (several times a day), go completely off (occasionally), be on but cannot go to a website (occasionally), or acts slowly although have high speed connection (often). Can anybody make some recommendations? For example, I currently have a connections at 2.5 MPS but I wasn't sure if I could get to this community to post a problem because I couldn't get a webpage at all. By the way, I am operating remotely from a campground. This occurs while on the campground wifi or on my iPhone.

Hi Dennis,
Sorry to hear you are having these WiFi issues with your MacBook Pro. Given your description of the issues (inconsistent and intermittent connections, trouble loading web pages, etc), you may find the diagnostic and troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful:

VERY unstable WiFi connection Xperia Z2 5.0.2

Hello,
For some reason my wifi connection is either very slow, or there isn't any connection. And when it does connect, it is REALLY slow, and then it drops.
I get really frustrated because on my other devices such as an asus notebook and a Samsung tablet it works like a charm.

I notice the same thing with the latest firmware (28) sometimes while connected to my home wifi network. When I'm outside, my phone will show a full connection, or 3/4 bars, but there's no Internet access. If I toggle wifi off and on, it sometimes kick starts it, sometimes doesn't do anything. When I'm inside, I have no issues. It's almost as if the wifi icon is buggy. As if it doesn't show a true reading of the wifi signal strength.

[U430 Touch] Unstable wifi

I have an Ideapad U430 Touch that is not capable of reliably connecting to our home wifi. When it does connect, it performs slowly. The wifi router is brand new, linksys ea6350. Three other laptops and several cell phones, ipads, and even my pool controller have no problems connecting to the secured wifi and staying there. The U430 will sometimes connect from wakeup, sometimes not. When it does not connect, the only way I've succeeded in re-connecting is to force the laptop to "forget this network" and then entering the password again. Many times I'll enter the password and get a "cannot connect to this network" error. Its not a mistyped password because that gives me a "password is incorrect error" instead (I tried it on purpose). I updated the U430's ethernet adapter driver and no change.
Any help would be appreciated.
