Why does my wifi disconnect after a minute or so of non-use?

I have noticed that if I am stopped on a website (reading etc) and then I try to go somewhere new, my connection (although appearing to be completely working and full) is gone. The loading bar only moves out and inch and then stops, and I am forced to close my laptop and open it back up, thereby initiating the wifi again.

I think you have the same problem as we have:

  • Why does my phone disconnect after 4 hours of call time

    why does my phone disconnect after 4 hours of call time? Is there anyway I can change this?

    You mean that you're on a single call for 4 hours continously, and then it disconnects?
    If so, contact your wireless carrier.  That's a cellular connection issue.

  • Why does my WIFI disconnect when I plug in my cinema display (retina)?

    When I connect my Cinema Display to a DVI to Thunderbolt adapter and then the adapter to my Retina Mac Book Pro the WIFI disconnects. What is going on here? It was working just fine a day ago.
    Lil' help?

    Hi wreckdiver05,
    It is normal for your Mac to close its network connections when it is put to sleep (for example, closing the display on a portable Mac). If you are having issues with it not automatically rejoining your network when it wakes, you may find the following articles helpful:

  • Why does my iMac WIFI disconnect after 3-4 Hours?

    I have an iMac 3.06 Intel Core 2 and my wifi disconnects after 3-4 hours of use. I can't reconnect to the network until I turn-off the wifi and turn it back on. It appears the ip lease time is up and must be established manually by turning off the wifi and turning it back on (just a guess). Is it possible the firewall or another piece of software is blocking the process? I have an iPhone, MacBook and iPad in addition to the iMac and they all connect properly and stay connected. Does anyone have any ideas what I should verify to get the process working? During the period of time when the iMac is connected all is well. The iMac is running 10.7.2 op system. Thanks for your help.

  • TS1398 Hi. My wifi keeps disconnecting. I kkep turning the wifi on and off in settings but will disconnect again after a minute or so. I use an ipad2 and my ios is updated. How to troubleshoot? - kay peralta

    Hi. My wifi keeps disconnecting. I keep turning the wifi on and off in settings but will disconnect again after a minute or so. I use an ipad2 and my ios is updated. How to troubleshoot? - kay peralta

    Is this happening with one particular network or with all?  Make sure iOS is updated on the device.
    Try this:
    Reboot ipad by pressing and holding both the home and sleep/wake buttons at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go. Then try to connect to network.
    Go to settings, Toggle airplane mode on/off. Make sure bluetooth is off. Turn on wif (airplane mode off). Try to connect.
    Reset Network Settings
    Go to settings/general/reset/reset network settings. Then try to connect to network.
    If its your home router, then reboot router by unplugging for 5-10min. (do this while you're resetting network settings).
    If problem persists, then check for firmware updates on your router.(you check router manufacturer support website for downloads and instructions).

  • Why does the sound stop after about 10 minutes? I like to listen to lectures, etc. and find it very annoying to have to press the on/off button to restart it every 10 minutes. Couldn't find a way to extend playing time in settings.

Any suggestions? This is my first iPod and I am ready to take it back if I am unable to extend the playing time. Frustrating!

    I can imagine that is frustrating as heck.  My daughter has one of these and I know for a fact hers does not turn off after 10 minutes because I have to turn it off for her every night after she has fallen asleep.  Below is what Apple has to say about it from a troubleshooting standpoint.
    "If music stops when the iPod nano screen turns off m Make sure the earphone port is free of debris. m Make sure the earphone or headphone connector is pushed in all the way. To see an illustration, go to support.apple.com/kb/ts3700."
    Are you using aftermarket ear buds or speakers when you listen to these lectures???  If so maybe it has something to due with a compatibility issue.

  • I can't be the only one with this issue. MacBook Pro Retina Late-2013 WiFi disconnects after waking up from sleep.

    Did anyone buy a MacBook Pro Retina 13" from Best Buy this Black Friday?
    I'm having an issue where the WiFi disconnects after the MacBook wakes from sleep but only after a couple of minutes.
    Once the WiFi disconnects, I can't reconnect to the same network and sometimes it won't find nearby networks.
    I have to turn off the WiFi and wait for at least 5 seconds before turning it back on for it to auto-reconnect to my home network.
    If I wait less than 5 seconds, it will continue to attempt connection to the home network but won't connect.
    I've tried reformatting and deleting my network configurations as well as resetting my modem, power cycling it, etc.
    I am using 2Wire Gateway modem/router from AT&T on b/g network.
    I've tried connecting to a friend's network under Time Warner Cable and the same issue occurs.
    I exchanged the MacBook at a Best Buy for a brand unopened one (I hope) and the same exact thing happens with this new one.
    Really, I can't be the only one with this issue. Unless in a 0.00001% chance I received two defective units in a row?
    Please.. does anyone have a clue why this is happening?

    You're definitely not the only one.  I have the same issue.  I spent 6 hours over multiple days on the phone with Apple support trying a variety of things (some of which are mentioned above), and none of them worked.  They finally sent me a replacement laptop.  I made sure to try it periodicaly as I was moving files and installing applications to see if I ran into it again and things seemed okay at first but now I am running into the same issue and it is terribly annoying.  I've got 5 other devices that connect to the same router and I've never had this issue with any of them.
    My router is a Linksys E2000.  I haven't tried changing the router channel but I have tried to cnnecting to other networks in the building I live in and I have run into the same issue there.

  • IChat disconnects after 12 minutes.

    Don't know what is going on, iChat opens fine, it disconnects after 12 minutes and it will not reconnect. Does any one know what I can do to solve this problem?

    Hi,
    What is the time the Modem or router says it is using ?
    Some devices say 24 Hours and as long at the Computer is on again before it is up it keeps the IP.
    Others like an Airport say 4 hours but then do different things
    Some remake the connection at renewal and can break any internet connection you have.
    Also does the computer keep the Same IP when the lease does get renewed ?

  • Blank login screen on the iPad keeps popping up and wifi disconnecting after 20 seconds

    hi, we have an ipad running IOS 5 that keeps having a blank login screen on the iPad keeps popping up and wifi disconnecting after 20 seconds. 
    I am yet to find out why this is, any clues?  (note that both apple.com and facebook are blocked at the router, but nothing else)...

    actually we cannot due to policy reasons... it appears through testing that the iPad is phoning home and sending private data to Apple regardless, it is also odd they placed these PRIVACY settings in About hidden away so that no-one knows they are there.
    From the iPad homescreen, tap on Settings > General > About
    Tap on "Diagnostics & Usage" > select "Don't Send"
    So... anyone else know why if we block Apple, the iPad disconnects from the internet via Wifi?

  • Why does my itunes crash after start up with an "APPCRASH" error every time i open it?! I have been trying to fix this for weeks but all i can do it re-install it every other day which does nothing!

    Why does my itunes crash after start up with an "APPCRASH" error every time i open it?! I have been trying to fix this for weeks but all i can do it re-install it every other day which does nothing! I am desperate to get access to my itunes to get music on my phone and all of this just makes me want me to sell my iphone since there is no other way to add music to my phone. If things go get sorted soon you can say goodbye to my support.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.
