W520 running Windows 8.1 not connecting to internet after sleep

Hey everybody, really need the help!
I have a w520 that suddenly stopped connecting to the internet after waking up from sleep. I will connect to the network and show others but the connection to the Internet times out. Once I restart I can access the Internet but as soon as it goes to sleep the problem happens again. I have tried on many different networks and at the beginning of the week this was not an issue.
Things I have tried:
different browser
different networks
reinstalling the drivers for the card
What else could be causing this sudden issue?

Welcome FIMuPhi198
1. Go to Start > System Update > Install all critical and recommended updates.
2. Download and install the newer version of Wi-Fi driver from Intel.

Not connected to internet after sleep

Hi my Macbook Pro 13" early 2011 is not instantly connecting to the internet after sleep. I goto network diagnostics, all green lights are on, it says your internet is working fine, I click on a bookmark, it says I'm not connected. I repeat this two or three times, and finally after clicking on the third or fourth bookmark, it connects. I'm on Sky broadband UK through an Airport Express and my iPhone, Android (eeurgh!) 'phone, other computers and PS3 all connect with no problems. Any ideas folks?
Also whilst I'm here, I've noticed software update has downloaded the same EFI firmware update four times, and that other software updates are available immediately after updating software.... Something I'm not used to? And, during restart, the computer beeps. Normal?

Well, thanks to Carolyn Samit from San Francisco I think I found the answer by deleting Cache.db from Safari prefs in the library... Haven't been on these boards for a few years now - forgot how to use them! Anyway, if anyone can help with the software update repeats before I search the answer that'd be great thanks!

1st problem see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firewalls
2nd problem, to close Firefox properly use File > Exit
:not with the [x] in upper right corner which close window
:see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs#Hang_at_exit
:if restarting use "Restartless Restart" extension as mentioned there.

My brand new Macbook PRO i5 can't connect to internet after sleep? It works fine after reboot.

I have a brand new Macbook PRO with the latest OS and the latest EFI. I haven't installed any 3'rd party products except Moneywell for my private finances. After a couple of days it couldn't connect to internet after sleep. I run the network diag and it says the connection is OK. Log out/in doesn't help. I have to reboot everytime it wakes up after sleep. Any clue?

I am having the exact same problem. It started with 10.7, was fixed with 10.7.1, then came back again with 10.7.2.

OS X 10.7.2 very slow to connect to internet after sleep

Following the lates round of updates and firmware updates MacBook Pro Running 10.7.2 is very difficult to connect to internet after sleep. Network diagnostics show all is fine, all the IP's DNS etc WiFi are fine Safari just won't connect. Was fine before updates

I have had this same problem since I updated to lion. I used to connect straight away. Now it takes at least 10sec.
Have noticed a few anoying bugs with lion. The other thing that somtimes happens to me is it crashing when running some programes ( iphoto '08, BBC iplayer desctop etc... ) and also when browsing some sites (quite alot on youtube)
Really hope these are sorted on the next update.

Airport does not connect fast enough after sleep on Mac OS X Snow Leopard

Ever since installing Snow Leopard, I have noticed that my Airport will not connect fast enough when I am waking from sleep. I sometimes have to wait upwards of 30 seconds after waking from sleep so Airport can connect and I can begin using the Internet. I notice that Airport says it is connected, but when I launch Safari, I get the "Not Connected to Internet" error message. I have tried removing the com.apple.airport.preferences.plist file to no avail. I have also tried Archiving and Installing and the issue is still there. Any ideas or fixes? Thanks.

Those seem to happen a lot when you have stealth mode enabled (Security System Prefs, Firewall, Advanced). For me, they all seemed to be innocuous so I turned it off. I don't think this would affect your connectivity, though.
You should also see it negotiate the connection. Is there anything that looks like it is repeating or retrying or other disconcerting messages? Here's an example of mine waking:1/5/10 8:27:36 PM kernel Wake reason = USB1

IPad Air can not connect to internet after updating to iOS8.

Safari CAN NOT OPEN ANY PAGES because the iPad is not connected to internet. I updated to iOS8 last night and have been trying to reset my ipad as well. However, the problem is still there. It even says my Apple ID incorrect. GUYS! DO NOT UPDATE YOUR iPAD TO iOS8 UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE!!!!!!!! Luckily, I did not do anything with my phone. PHEW

Other threads I've read have had people note that the following solutions have worked for them:
If you have a 5 GHz wi-fi router, turn off 5 GHz support and let it fall back to 2.4 GHz.
Change wi-fi router to auto-select channels, or manually select a different channel than what it's on now.
Disable iCloud Drive.
I'm not saying that that any of these will work, but it's something to try (one at a time).

Lenovo Y50 Not connecting to Internet after windows 10 update

Just as the title says.
I was able to install some windows 10 updates with wifi as my usb modem would not work
After that i can't connect to the internet. I can connect to wifi and it shows internet access but i can't still connect to internet.
One funny thing though i typed ipconfig in cmd and no ip address was found it shows something like media no connected.
All my drivers are upto date. Downloaded directly from lenovo website. And they are all working perfectly according to device manager

Also worked on 10.4.11. I installed an Airport Express and updated all the software and firmware on my MacBook. After Safari, Itunes store, Google earth could not connect but Firefox was connecting fine. Followed your tip. Disableing the proxies on the Network config does the trick. Very simple but very helpful, thanks.

Windows 8.1 not connecting to DirectAccess after coming out of hibernation

Have a strange issue with Windows 8.1 and DirectAccess on Server 2012. Initially after performing a clean install of Windows 8.1 my directaccess connection was working fine, even after coming out of hibernation, it would reconnect to directaccess with no
issues. Yesterday after applying Windows updates and rebooting my Windows 8.1 would connect to DirectAccess fine. If I hibernate and come out of hibernation my DirectAccess status is stuck on Connecting and only connects if I reboot.
I performed a system restore as of last week and my DirectAccess connection is back to working as expected. So it seems a particular windows update is causing this issue. Anyone knows which one in particular?

Hi There - nothing specific that i know of but have all the Hotfixes been applied to both server and 8.1 clients (which may fix the issue)

Safari not connecting to internet after software update

I have just completed a software update and now safari will not connect to our wireless internet... airport says it has full bandwidth and other macs connected to the wireless connection are working without any fault.... has anyone got any ideas????
Thanks!!

Hello Sarah:
As you probably have already guessed, quite a number of things might have happened.
My network is Ethernet, so I am not much help with wireless networks. However, I think I would (if I were you), run an archive and install:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
An archive and install will place a fresh copy of OS X on your system while, at the same time, preserve your files, programs, and settings. It is always a good idea, however, to have a good backup strategy before any software changes. You should then run software update to bring your system to a current level (in your case, OS X 10.4.11 is current, I think).
The A&I should eliminate any system software issues.

Safari and iTunes not connecting to internet after 10.5.3 but firefox does

Hi,
My first post ever. I just updated to 10.5.3 from 10.5.2 After the update, I can not connect to the internet using Safari. I get an error message that I have no internet conection. I ran the network diagnostics and everything was reported as working correctly. I also ran a repair permissions from disc utilities. Still can not connect with Safari. I also noticed that itunes can not download any podcasts. My "software update" in system perferences can not connect either. Firefox has no problem going online.
Any suggesttions on how to proceed?
Thanks

Also worked on 10.4.11. I installed an Airport Express and updated all the software and firmware on my MacBook. After Safari, Itunes store, Google earth could not connect but Firefox was connecting fine. Followed your tip. Disableing the proxies on the Network config does the trick.

HT4623 My iPad is not connecting to internet after software update what can i do

Hi everyone I just update the software 7.0.4 on my iPad 2 and after doing that cannot connect to internet, can somebody tell me
what to do to correct this issue? Please

You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists.
If yes you can try resetting your Network Settings. Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note that you will have to re-enter all of your WiFI passwords.

Original Macbook Pro Retina 15 not connecting to wifi after sleep

When Waking from sleep, it searches for wifi and finds it but doesn't connect most of the time. i click/select the network manually & sometimes it connects but iv ended up resorted to turning wifi off, then turn back on & it finds the network (it found earlier) AND connects to it automatically. this problem happens on other wifi's aswell, not just my home wifi.
Wondering why it can find the network after sleep, but doesn't want to connect to it. All my ios devices, my sisters MBP retina 13 connects perfectly. I've come to conclusion it must be my computer....

I to have this problem. I have a late 2013 Macbook Pro 13inch with Retina display. I soon discovered on my machine that if you disable Bluetooth then the macbook connects to the wi-fi as it should. I dont have a problem on my home network with any other apple devices and the connectivity issue is the same on what ever network I try. I soon realised that if I disabled Bluetooth the machine connects perfectly everytime. There is clearly a bug or some technical issue that occurs preventing wi-fi connection when you have Bluetooth enabled. Try it and see if it is teh same with yours?
I was hopeing that the fault or issue would be fixed with the latest OX update but alas it is still an issue for me on my machine. I have just taken to switching Bluetooth to off until I am connected and then just turn Bluetooth on if I need it.
Hopeing that some kind of fix will be issued soon.
Let me know if this Bluetooth issue is the cause of the issue as I woudl be interested.
Best wishes.
JB
