Why do I loss internet connections at frequent intervals while watching netflix moviesx

I have airport express which serves as wireless connection to my tv to watch netflix movies.I have roku xd as a streamer. At almostevery 7-10 minutes, I loss connection to the internet interrupting my movies . This happens at least 9 times thru a period of 1 hr. watch. Any thoght on this.

I would suspect inadequate bandwidth as the most likely reason ... and potentially Wi-Fi interference as the most likely culprit that is causing it.
Have you done any data transfer rate measurements on your local network or checked for any type of Wi-Fi interference that may be present in the area that may be preventing the 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) from providing a clean signal to the Roku & TV?
Is the AXn the only wireless router in your local network?

Just one month before i bought iphone 5... but the iphone has the internet connectivity problem... while a iphone 4s is cathcing 3G tower, whereas iphone 5 is catching 2G network only.... I've tried so many things to get recovered, but alas

Just one month before i bought iphone 5... but the iphone has the internet connectivity problem... while a iphone 4s is cathcing 3G tower, whereas iphone 5 is catching 2G network only.... I've tried so many things to get recovered, but alas, nothing is workable- such as- restaring the iphone, reseting the networks etc... Please help me out from this problem..

to be clear, my phone works fine when not in motion in a vehicle. If I pull over and come to a complete stop, remaining in the car, my phone works.
And while the phone is not working when I'm in motion, an internet search or a text message will go through, but I can not use Siri or any voice assistance when doing the text message or internet search. The microphone is greyed out.
So this is a unique issue, which appears to be the iPhone and not Verizon.

Why has my iMac Internet Connect disappeared?

After several years of regular internet and e-mail activity, a recent attempt to connect resulted in a dialog box saying: 'Internet Connect - The selected communication device does not exist. Please verify your settings and try again'. I never touch my settings!
My situation is not helped by being a long way from the telephone exchange - consequently I can only receive a very slow bps and frequent disconnects. Could it be that my lack of up-to-date iMac Firmware is causing this problem?
I have taken my work laptop, an iBook G4, home, and plugged it in to the network - it connects OK, so the problem resides with the iMac. As it takes so long to download updates, is it possible to download them at work and transfer them to my home iMac via a memory stick?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I just reread your original post. It's possible your internal modem has died. 'Yikes! 'Hope it hasn't. Does it dial and try to connect? Have you tried reselecting it in the network CP? Have you run "Repair Permissions" in the Disk Utility application?
Your firmware version should be 4.1.9f1.
Yes, transfering update downloads on a thumb-drive would work fine.
Yea, all computers are great when they work, and a pain when they don't!

Why the super slow internet connection on my MBP?

This falls into the category of FYI, or FWIW. I'm going to answer my question for the good of the community,
I suddenly noticed a significant reduction in my internet connection at home on my MacBookPro. According to speakeasy.net/speedtest I was getting over 11 Mbps down and 1.5 up before then suddenly I was down to 1 Mbps downloads and .25 uploads. I tried 3 browsers and an scp transfer via the terminal from my web server and all with the same results.
However, the mystery deepened when I tested other computers in the house and they were getting the original 11 Mbps. So, I took my computer downstairs next to the router and also got the original 11 Mbps. So, I went back upstairs, but instead of plugging in my old 23" Cinema display, I tested without. You know what happened, right? Yup, 11 Mbps. Plugged in the Cinema display and back down to 1 Mbps.
I have no idea what is going on, other something in the Cinema display is interferring with my wireless connection.

Why is Mac's Internet Connection SO BAD ?!

Since i bought my MacBook Pro years ago its wireless connection has always been awful. I can only connect from a specific spot upstairs (the routers downstairs) - i will literally have to stand in a spot near the door.
It's even worse when someone else in the house connects online through wireless. They have never had a problem connecting to the internet with their laptops ...!! The minute they're online my internet will stop working and I will need to drag my MacBook right next to the router just to connect. It's really frustrating and means i forever have to stop working .. !! Any suggestions why this keeps happening and what i can do ?

Why do I lose internet connection when I put airport extreme into bridge mode to correct Double NAT issue

I reset my airport extreme router the other day because I was too lazy to reset the password on my private network.
I have been reading the advice found on apple support communities and wide web, but the solutions do not solve any problems and often create new ones.
I'm regretting because everything was working just fine.
But I remember having this double nat error when I first set it up a few months back, but now I cannot resolve it.
I would live with the yellow light, but it seems that this double nat error is preventing my playstation 3 from connecting to the airport extreme.
When I put the aiport extreme into bridge mode, I loose all my wireless networks, even when I reboot the airport extreme and the modem.
I try rebooting the modem, then the airport. and vice versa. No internet.
I switch back to NAT/DCHP and the internet works fine on apple devices, but not the playstation 3, and I have the 1 Double NAT error.
I have a plain stock Motorolla modem and I can dial in and see settings (although nothing about NAT). I didn't see where to see them.
I tried setting the DHCP only but it said it didn't like the settings. is there a stock range i could be using?

I have a plain stock Motorolla modem and I can dial in and see settings (although nothing about NAT). I didn't see where to see them.
Exact model .. motorola make adsl, cable and probably wireless modems.. with some modems and some modem router.. we need exact info. What kind of broadband do you have?
I would note.. some of the motorola cable modems seem to have issues with the apple routers. If you are about due to change modems.. now is a good time.. not another motorola.
If the modem is a straight cable modem, the AE must be in router mode.. but you need to power down the cable modem. maybe for 20min so the new router can pick up the IP address.
You cannot use DHCP alone.. the ISP do not give you a block of IP addresses.
You cannot use bridge with a pure modem.. you will find it works.. but only to one device.
The only reason you get double NAT is the failure to pick up the public IP.
Give the info required..
If you have trouble, I need the actual IP of the modem. the actual IP of the AE WAN port when plugged in. Screenshots are good.

Poor internet connection and frequent router restarts

I have been experiencing frequent issues with my Internet service over the last 2 months. When it first started I had to reset my router 4-6 times a day. Otherwise I would have a strong wireless signal but no Internet access. I changed the automatic channel selection to a lower channel and it seemed to be fine for about 2 weeks. I figured that I was getting some sort of interference. Now I have noticed that the problem has returned. I also have noticed much slower speeds.
Does anyone have any ideas? Should I ask for a replacement router? It seems that there are many similar issues posted on the forums with few successful results.
Thanks for the help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Gotcha. So since it appears to only be Wireless, definitely consider changing the channel again. If other routers have Auto Channel selection on, they may be "stopping by" and using the same channel once again that you are using. I recommend using Vistumbler or InSSIDer to scan for Wi-Fi networks nearby you and choosing channels 1, 6, or 11, whichever has less networks on it to use. Some folks have found that using the other channels I did not mention have helped in some circumstances. Whatever you do though, keep the auto channel selection disabled since that has been found to be a source of disconnects itself.
If no amount of changing the channel helps but Wired access remains rock solid, then I would start to consider any devices you may have added onto your network since the program began, and perhaps software updates too if you have any tablets or smartphones on the network. If nothing has changed since the problem began, then it doesn't hurt to ask for another Wireless router from Verizon to replace your current, possibly problematic router.
I've seen in some cases too where WEP and WPA security have caused issues with certain devices when used which have caused disconnects. It wouldn't hurt to try moving to WPA2 security if it's available in your router to see if that helps since most newer devices work quite well with it, not to mention the higher level of security.
if nothing is working, then there's a good chance there is a "hidden interferer" in the mix. These could include any devices you or your neighbors might have set up such as Wireless access ponts and repeaters, cordless phones, baby monitors, bluetooth devices, microwaves and so on that use the very crowded and noisy 2.4Ghz band.

The first to bring me 1Gbps Fiber for $30/m wins!

After Mountain Lion update, internet connection breaks frequently.

Anyone else experiencing this? Seems that my older AEBS is responsible for frequent disconnects? I also have a newer AX in bridge mode which appears to be operating normally. Software is up to date.

I Fixed my iMac slow internet connection

I will share with you how I fixed my iMac slow internet connection and frequently lost connection. At first, I thought it was the Airport but then it wasn't the case. I also had a Dell laptop in the same basement and it was running as fast as I expected. Here are the steps:
1/ Open Airport link on the top right window > Open Network Preferences
2/
Click + to create new Network Name and Security, I chose WPA personal - less security than the WPA2- that is why it runs faster.
3/ Go mack to step 1 and select your new network name > Apply.
May iMac is now connecting to internet as fast as I would expected.
Good luck

My iMac internet connection is not faster but as fast as it used to be. I was using WPA2 and it was really good for a year and then I got disconnected or very slow. So I created the new network bearing the same old name but use WPA and did not delete the old one, some how everything is back to normal.

HT1657 Do i need to have internet connection to watch a rented movie

If I download a rental movie from iTunes do I need to have Internet connection to be able to watch the movie? I frequently travel on Northlink ferries and would like to be able to watch a movie but they internet/3G disappears soon after the ferry has left port?

N9 disconnect account btw internet connections (3g...

My N9 losses account setting (user/password) when ever it losses internet connection.
please help me remedy this problem.
Thanks!

Mine forgot all my passwords few days back, I re-installed firmware using Nokia software updater. I didn't charge immediately after phone battery went dead, when I charged it phone wouldn't connect to any of online services. First try 'Restore settings' under settings > Reset. Go for firmware re-install if that didn't work. Good luck.

IPhone 5 no internet connection away from WIFI

I have no Internet connection away from WiFi while using 3G on my iPhone 5. This didn't use to be a problem. I now get the message <your phone is not connected to the Internet.>
I have data roaming/ cellular data enabled. Can anyone offer help as I may have changed a setting somewhere without knowing?
Grateful for any help please!
Thx

Have you recently changed your SIM card to that of another provider? If so, you may need to set your APN settings - Settings/Mobile/Mobile Data Network (on UK phones). If not, then seek advice from your service provider because it's very likely to be connected with your APN settings.
The other option is to search the Internet for the APN settings for your service provider. The information should be readily available.

Apple TV, Do I have to have an internet connection to the PC or MAC to watch purchased tv shows on my Apple TV ?

Yesterday my internet went down . I thought OK I will watch a couple shows while I wait. When I brought up my apple TV it failled to start the show. The message came up that the PC needed to be authorized. Well no internet no authorization and NO TV SHOW. I was ******. Is there a way around this ? Is this normal behavior ?
Once the internet provider restored service everything worked as normal.

internet connection is not required to watch movie rentals. but you should be sure that the movie rental was fully downloaded. I suggest it would be better to rent on a computer, download on a computer and after this you can transfer the rental to iPad mini. For transferring movie rentals internet connect is required.
Here are the steps described, how to transfer movie rentals from computer to iOS device: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1390

Losing internet connection randomly (wlan stays connected) - wicd

Since about a week now I'm running into endless problems with my wlan connection - before that, all worked well (I didn't changed any hardware)
I'm losing my internet connection in random intervals and I can't track down the reason for this problem. I've a dual-boot setup with win7 on it and there I have constant connection so this can't be any hardware problem.
I am using wicd to manage my wlan (wicd-kde, wicd-curses).
always used dhcp and never made any problems -even tried with static IP now which unfortunately didn't help.
One thing to mention - even if I'm connected, the connection seems very slow, compared to the laptop I'm on (in the same network).
now some console output:

really don't know what to do now - help is very much appreciated!
thanks in advance

Thanks for you answer!
Actually, I tried it with dhclient too and it didn't helped at all.
I switched to netcfg(2) now and it seems working - wicd is completely removed from my system - hopefully it will stay like this now.
the only problem for now is that my connection seems quite slow - any ideas where/how I can track down possible issues?
still I've no idea what was/is causing those problems since in win7 all works well..
