Why do i keep loosing the wifi connection while streaming to vidio- help
Did you ever find a resolutution to your issue? I have a similar issue after installing Mavericks where the Arris modem goes to sleep when my iMac does, even though other devices on the network are actively requesting data. For the time being, as long as the iMac doesn't sleep the network is fine.

Any idea why my iPhone4 keeps dropping its wifi connection?
I have a new iPhone4 (an upgrade for my iPhone 3GS). It has been set up for the house's wifi and does connect. The annoying thing for me is that it seems to keep dropping out of wi fi. Sometimes it recognizes it within seconds of turning on my phone & other times I need to go into settings,shut off wifi, turn it on again and hope it recongnizes the wifi. I have no problem with my Apple computer, and no one else in the household has this difficulty, some Apple products, others not. I find this frustrating because I never had this problem with my older 3GS phone. I'm sorry I took the $0.99 upgrade to the iPhone 4. Should have left well enough alone!!! Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be?
IPad dropping WiFi every few seconds after updating iOs to version 5.x
I have the same problem with my iPad 2. It was working fine when my iOS was v.4.3.3. After updating the iOs to version 5.0.1, I kept dropping my WiFi & Internet signal. I am using WPA2, and my SSID is OFF (does not broadcast).
To solve the problem, I updated iOs to v5.1. Same problem occurred. I tried using the OpenDNS as suggested.. Did not work too. WiFi stays on for 5-10 seconds before saying signal was lost. Tried to log on again - iPad replied that I cannot join the network. Tried soft & hard reset, forgetting network settings, resetting all network Setting, etc - still nothing works.
Finally, out of frustration, I turned ON my router's SSID (broadcasting openly). Guess what? My iPad WiFi is working perfectly without any dropped connection.
Please try this quick solution. It may just fix your problems. I realized that this solution may be effective for some iPad users out there. But there is a chance it may not work with others (I tried almost all suggestions in other forums - ranging from updating the wireless router firmware, using an OpenDNS, doing a soft & hard reset of the iPad, etc. Still, nothing worked for my iPad - except this simple SSID setting). Hopefully, this additional solution might help someone. Good luck :-) -
Why my Ipad 1 loose wireless wifi setting for around 5 minutes
Hi;
Why my Ipad 1 loose wireless wifi setting for around 5 minutes ...it is not wireless issue as i have strong coverage all around the room.
ThanksHi there,
Wi-Fi connectivity has been known to bug iPad users since launch, and I understand that Apple are fighting to fix this. You can take a look at the link below, which may help troubleshoot the issue.
Troubleshooting iPad Wi-Fi
You can also provide feedback to Apple at the below site.

I'm staying at my house in Peru, South America. From my PC laptop I can see my neighbor's wifi service network, but I also have my mini iPad and I can not figure out why I can't get any wifi connection from my area. Is there a setting I need to do?
Yes, I did try to go on my settings>wifi and was waiting for any wifi signals to pick up, but nothing shows up. But on my PC I get a whole list of networks to choose from. Regarding my neighbor, I already have her password that is why I was able to get it on my PC, the problem is that the mini Ipad is not picking any signal neither can it locate me when I go to maps.

My iPad keeps loosing the internet connection. Last time this happened comcast charged $49 to fix it. They said that the problem was perhaps caused by something that I down loaded. All my other devices still connected to internet. Tried to reset my settings. Still won't work. Any advice ?
First, changing your DNS settings could not possibly have any effect on this problem.
When you see an exclamation point in the Wi-Fi menu, from the menu bar, select
▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network
Click the Assist me button and select Assistant. Follow the prompts. You may get a warning that Wi-Fi is not available, that you're too far from the base station, or that you're using the wrong password.
Assuming that you've ruled out those possibilities, click the lock icon in the lower left corner of the preference pane and authenticate, if necessary. From the Location menu at the top of the window, select Edit Locations. A sheet will drop down. Click the plus-sign button to create a new location. Give it any name you want. In the new location, set up the Wi-Fi service with the same settings you used before. Click Apply and test. -
Why does my iBookPro drop its WiFi connection so often?
My question: why does my iBookPro drop it WiFi connection so often, and what can I do to prevent it (or at least extend the duration of active connection)?
I have an iBookPro running OSX 10.9.5, with a 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5 processor and 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 RAM. I think my iBookPro is about 3 or 4 years old.
What seems to happen is that I will use my iBookPro accessing mail & websites for a few minutes, and then when I try to send an e-mail, mail puts up a message that it cannot send mail with the selected server, so I need to either try a different server or try later. Meanwhile I notice that the WiFi signal indicator shows full service, but when I run diagnostics it shows that the internet is not connected. Opening the WiFi icon in the top menu bar shows that it is looking for Networks. After an indeterminate time it finds the network I have had highlighted and logged into (my WiFi -5G router) since I opened my iBook when I arrived at my office.
I often find I have to turn WiFi off, then back on, to get connection with the internet.
What's going on, and what am I missing?Hello jBookProAm,
If you are having issues with your MacBook Pro with maintaining a Wi-Fi connection, then take a look at the articles below to get it sorted out. The first article will talk about using Wireless Diagnostics, which you have already done, but also you look at the additional troubleshooting within the article for assistance. You may want to also create a new location as another troubleshooting option and those steps are in the second article.

My ipad keeps dropping my wifi connection
My ipad mini keeps dropping my wifi connection at home and requires me to enter my password each and every time. This also happens with a new iphone 4S we have as well. We have a total of 4 other iOS devices and this does not happen any of them ever. I have verified across all my devices that they all have the same settings. I have rebooted everything, updated everything (including the routers firmware and even used the restore network settings on the device. All do not prevent the error from happening repeatidly.
You might consider changing the settings on the router or replacing all together

Ipad 2 keeps dropping my wifi connection
I just got an iPad 2. It keeps dropping my wifi connection. I updated the software to the most recent available: 6.0.1. I've tried to reset my network connections. I rebooted my router. I've restarted my iPad. I am still having the same issue. I can connect to the wireless router with my Samsung Galaxy s3, my wife can also connect without any issues with her Samsung Galaxy S3. My son was able to connect with his Kindle Fire. But, the iPad 2 is the only one having a problem. Any suggestions?
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

Why does my iPhone 6 keep on dropping wifi connection
after I used my iPhone 6 for a 2 weeks it started to drop wifi connection so I restored it and it worked for 1 month then it started to drop wifi connection again and restoring it dosen't solve the problem anymore and I updated it to 8.1.3
I have tried resetting everything and it makes no difference. Problem is same in different locations. Apple store verified problem which is why they exchanged phone for new model but wifi is still poor and drops frequently even though the iPhone 3GS in the family work perfectly on same access points.
