Weak wifi internet signal while on battery

Hi everyone, I bought a DV6 in 2011. I got a weird issue a few days ago. I usually browsed on Internet normally on my laptop and everything was fine. But one day, I unplugged the AC adapter from my laptop and I started to experience a very weak wifi internet connection. At this moment I thought something's wrong with my ISP so I called them. After troubleshooting, they stated that the problem comes from my laptop. Randomly, I just plugged the AC adapter from laptop and everything was fine, I mean worked normally . But I unplugged the AC adapter the problem came back. So I wanted to know if there is a relation between the wifi connection strenght and the AC adapter/battery. Please help me

  • MBP Retina "wake for wifi network access" while on battery power?

    I have USB printer connected to Airport Express, and i can print from iPhone using "Printopia" while MBP on, but cannot print when the lid is close (sleep mode) & unplugged, so is there any way to activated "wake for wifi network access" while on battery power? Thanx...

    Hi,
    I am coming from the MacBook faction, but there were similar posts in there, regarding at least your picture#2, the vertical colored lines.
    The consensus was (and I cannot write from own experience here, just relaying the message) that this has something to do with system parameters. To rewrite these parameters, one has to set a different screen resolution than the current one and save the settings and then go back to the old resolution again and save the settings as well. We were told, this would prevent the colored vertical line issue, at least for the MacBook.
    Worth a try, it is easy enough to do.

  • Weak wifi iPad signal on ios704

    Been suffering few months back  with weak Wi-Fi signal since updated to latest IOS 7.04 firmware. Tried all possible recommended solutions available on web none seem working solved the weak Wi-Fi signal.
    Am believe am not only victim but many ipad user suffering the same problem as well. It proved the IOS 7.04 firmware got problems. But apple company doesn't seem taking into solving thus matter seriously.
    Was thinking to get new iPad mini with retina display...but this problem stopped me as I lose confidence onto using apple product anymore. Main reason is apple after sales technical support doesn't take feedback comments seriously to improve ASAP onto problem arise.

  • Weak/no internet signal on iBook G4

    Any help would be awesome you guys. I installed an airport extreme card into my iBook G4 and after no available wireless networks showed up (my friend had between 4 and 10 floating around the office that he was picking up right next to me) I spoke w/ an Apple guy on the phone for 2 hrs. who had me do 2 "parameter resets". Now I get 1 weak signal from a Linksys wireless router when I'm standing directly next to it here in the office. Walk away, and the weak signal is gone. I thought it may have something to do with the card connection under the keyboard?.. but I rechecked and everything seems to be snug....any help so I can get up and running would be awesome- I'm super frustrated!

  • Auto disable WiFi and Bluetooth while on battery

    Does anybody know of an application or if OS X Snow Leopard can auto disable wifi and bluetooth whilst I'm on battery, and then auto turn them on again when I'm plugged in to the outlet?

    Perhaps this could be done with an AppleScript (you'd have to write it) but i do not know of any apps that can do this. It is not an option in the Mac OS anyway. If both the bluetooth and airport icons are shown in your menubar it's only 4 clicks to disable/enable them both though.

  • Very weak wifi signal after i change the battery

    i recently change my playbook battery. everything seems perfectly okay except that i have a very weak wifi signal reception. i need to be very near the router just to have the signal. i dont know what went  wrong during the changing of battery process but everything is okay except the very weak wifi signal received. please help.

    Looking at the photos in crackberry forum it's the white antenna cable, antenna is top RH corner as you look at the screen. There may be an antenna component inside the back (according to ifixit)  but the cable terminates in a little pcb possibly marked 3G.  Blue cable seems to be BT and grey is GPS. The TI chip supports all three functions, single cable for each. That is why 802.11n is only 65mbps.
    Come back if that's not correct.
    Thanks to crackberry and ifixit if it is.

  • My iPad 2 picks up very weak wifi signal, but my iPod touch 5 in the same spot picks up super strong signal. What can I do to change this?

    I have an iPad 2 and am iPod touch 5. Yesterday, my iPad all of the sudden did not want to pick up ANY signal at all in my house. It's like it completely give up on wifi, while my iPod and my laptop works just fine in the same spot. (I have an upstairs bedroom, while the router is downstairs in the kitchen).
    So I have been trying yesterday to get it to work so what I have done is completely wipe the memory clean after I backed it up on iTunes. After resetting it, I restored it. Still nothing. So I tried to take my iPad down nearer to the wifi router, and OMG it picked up the wifi signal! WHUT?!? It didn't yesterday though...
    But now whenever I am up in my bedroom, my iPad would not pick up the wifi at all, or if it did, the wifi would be super duper weak! But two days ago, it was PERFECTLY okay! My iPod and laptop that is sitting right next to the iPad up in my bedroom pick up the signal completely fine.
    Can someone help me? What should I do? Is it problems with my iPad or would it be my router that is the problem?

    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)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • Can anyone tell me or give me a link to the latest response from Apple regarding very real weak wifi signal on what seems to be a batch of both the new ipad and the earlier Ipad2. I have just bought a 2nd hand ipad2 and it has a very weak wifi signal

    Over the last week or so I have been trawling the internet looking for references to weak wifi signals on the Ipad2 and was staggered by the sheer quantity of people who seem to have identical issues, not just with the ipad2 but also with the new ipad. What annoyed me most from reading the reams upon reams of comments made on the Apple community forum is the fairly large number of people who seemed to believe that 'these' people were either just moaners and wingers or else they must have something wrong with their router set-up rather than a serious fault with their ipad and it seems all because there ipad in question works like a dream.
    Obviously I can only speak from my experience, and that is, I have an ipad2 32GB with wifi, purchased about 6 months ago and it works like dream with a good 2-3 bar wifi signal through 2 thick stone walls over 30 feet away. My router is a standard one supplied by my broadband supplier compatible with all 'g','b' and 'n' equipment. However, over a week ago now I bought second hand genuine ipad2 16GB with wifi from a close friend who has just purchased a new ipad3 to replace his old ipad2 (had it for over a year so no longer under warranty). When I started it up downstairs from my router, where I always use my other ipad2 which has a very strong wifi signal, I discovered that the new secondhand ipad2 I had purchased couldnt find a network signal at all. So after doing network resets and all other 'fixes' on the device recommended, I took it upstairs to my office where the router is based and found that the device could now locate the network, but the signal was lost over only 12 feet from the router!
    I quizzed my good friend about this issue and he informed me that it has always been like this since he first purchased it and he never thought that it was a fault, it was just the way it was. When he first aquired the device he did think at the time that this distance was poor, but thought nothing of it as he didnt have any other ipad to measur ethe signal strength against, and as his router was in his living room anyway he nothing of it. Fair enough.
    So, there we have it. One ipad2 with a very good wifi signal and another ipad2  with a very poor wifi signal running off the same router, both with the same IOS 5.0. ?
    As well as all of the other isues that customers have picked up on, such as 'death grip' (which I must say does appear to happen, but personally i dont think that this is a serious issue if you are aware of this issue and have a strong signal anyway), my experience seems to be a good  example of a 'duff' wifi ipad versus a 'great' wifi ipad', an issue confirmed by complaints from a fairly large number of customers who have also reported the same or similar weak wifi signals with both the ipad2 and the ipad3. So, as this shows the weak wifi signal is a very real issue it seems on a batch of ipad2 and 3's, which to my logic is obviously a hardware issue on a batch of early ipad2's and not a software one, otherwise all ipad's would suffer this problem! So, is it a faulty antenna or a faukty network card in an early batch?
    So, the bottom line now is, of course, firstly,  how can I get Apple to fix my other ipad2 when the warranty has run out? Any suggestions anyone?
    Personally I think good Apple customer service should offer a recall with a replacement on this apparent batch of ipads, dont you?

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

  • Airport Extreme (5 Gen) suddenly very weak Wifi signal

    Hello, everyone.  I have a 5th generation Airport Extreme that was working fine until a few days ago.  My power had gone out, and since then I am getting a very weak Wifi signal.  The network still appears and connects on all of my devices.  However, it is dreadfully slow (0.3 MB/s per Speedtest.net), whereas before it was 50 MB/s.  I have tried resetting to factory settings and opening up the option to 5GHz.  The 5 GHz wireless network works just fine on my iMac.  It doesn't show up as an option on my iPhone, though, and that's what's really bugging me.
    I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem and can help me out.  Of course, my phone support expired a few months ago and now they want $19 for a tech call.  Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Reset to factory again.
    Setup again using all short names, no spaces and pure alphanumeric. If you were doing this make sure you use different names. Empty all the old names from the clients so they start over with fresh clean setup for wifi.
    Use a different name for 5ghz.
    Use fixed channels.. try 1, 6, 11 for 2.4ghz and try 36, and 150 for 5ghz.. around about.. exact channel is not such a big thing for 5ghz.
    Check the link speed and make sure it is full speed if you are in the same room as the AE.
    Test by copying a file on the local lan.. rather than testing to internet which could be a totally unrelated issue.
    Test by using ethernet only on a computer plugged into the AE to see if the internet link has gone slow.

  • I have Direct TV with wireless, but a weak wifi signal downstairs. Can I get a Airport (what,kind) that will improve my signal for my Apple TV

    I have Direct TV with wireless, but a weak wifi signal downstairs. Can I get a Airport (what,kind) that will improve my signal so that my Apple TV will work?

    If you have an AirPort Extreme now, an AirPort Express could be added to your network to extend the range of the network.
    See the info about Extend an Existing Wireless Network.........http://www.apple.com/airport-express/
    Install the AirPort Express approximately half way between the AirPort Extreme and the point where the Apple TV will be located. The more that you can eliminate obstructions like walls, a ceiling or heavy furniture in the signal path between the AirPort Extreme, AirPort Express and Apple TV, the better the network will perform.

  • Can I set up a wifi router to receive an internet signal by connecting it to a computer?

    Can I set up a wifi router to recieve an internet signal by connecting it to a computer?
    It seems to me that routers are designed to connect directly to the internet by programming their firmware with connection info.
    I'd like to connect a computer to the internet, then connect a router to that computer.
    Essentially, I want a internet signal that comes through a computer before being made wireless. Is that possible?

    To connect the computer to the Internet you still need some physical component, for example a wireless USB dongle. So if you want to have the Mac connecting to the Internet and then share this connection to other devices using wireless, then you can enable Internet Sharing on the Mac and select to share its Airport (wireless) connection to the other devices (which turns the Mac into a form of access point). Then the other wireless devices can connect to the Mac and use the Mac's Internet connection, which could be a wireless USB dongle or an Ethernet connection to a cable modem.

  • E90 Very weak WiFi signal

    My E90 has a VERY weak WiFi signal, and in places I regularly use a 9500 and my laptop with no problem, my E90 simply will not work e.g. from first floor to ground floor. If I move closer to the Wireless router, then it is fine on both Email and Web.
    So it seems purely that the strength on E90 is far weaker than 9500.
    Has anyone else found this?
    Is there any way to alter signal strength in the various WiFi settings?
    Or is this yet another shortcoming of E90 over 9500?

    Yes I already altered Tx power settings. Thanks for suggestion. Makes no difference.
    It really seems this E90 just has a vastly lower power WiFi rating than my 9500.
    It is very tedious to be unable to connect even within one's own home and frankly renders the phone totally useless, quite apart from all the other problems well documented on here.
    I think I can see why so many are up for sale on Ebay.
    Does anyone at Nokia read these discussion pages and does anyone care that their products seem to fall short in SO MANY aspects?!
    That's right, it seems no one reads these discussion.
    However, if u have ur problem solved, pls advise

    Anybody faced such issue with this immature router? I was using E4200, the signal was much better. I thought of upgrading to latest “high-end router”, unfortunately it is not an upgrade it is a rip-off. This router is not stable at all.
    I will switch to NetGear, any recommendations?
