Wifi connection keeps getting dropped

I upgraded my ipad to ios 6.1.3 and it will no longer stay connected to my wifi, my other devices stay connected. UGH>...

Try #5.
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

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

After updating to OSX 10.9.4, WiFi connection keeps getting dropped. This happened on 3 Macs, but my iPhone, iPad, and Windows computer all connect to WiFi just fine.

I recently updated three Macs to Mavericks OS 10.9.4. All three Macs now cannot stay connected to WiFi.
Other devices (iOS and Windows) have no such problem, so it isn't the WiFi itself.
It seems to be OS X 10.9.4 which is the problem.
10.9.3 did not have this problem either.

Connection keeps getting dropped on Windows XP machine

I have a 1GB TC (2008 model) that I am using as my network's wireless router. Ever since I started using it, it has been dropping my Windows XP SP3 system off of the network at random intervals (at least a few times per day). I'll try to reconnect, and sometimes it will let me back on immediately, but usually it will just get stuck on trying to connect or trying to acquire a network address. I have to keep trying over and over until it finally lets me back on (it took me about 15 minutes once). The Macs on the network appear to be fine.
I've looked this up and some people have said it was related to WPA2, but that usually meant the XP system wouldn't connect at all. I've also tried updating all the software and firmware, switching to Bridge mode and changing the channel to no avail.
Prior to the TC, I used my trusty Linksys router with no problems.

Apparently, my TC isn't entirely biased. TC is dropping my Macs now as well (including the one within an arm's length of the TC). It may have been all along, but I'm not sure since I mainly use the XP machine. From what I can tell, the XP machine gets dropped more frequently (several times a day).
I've tried several channels and downgrading the firmware to 7.3.2, but it's the same thing every time. I'm really regretting this purchase...

Since upgrading to Lion OS, the wifi connectivity keeps blocking up intermittently and we need to manually keep switching on and off the wifi utility to get the connection back. even locking the preferred wifi network in system preferences does not help.

Since upgrading to Lion OS 10.7.1, the wifi connectivity keeps blocking up intermittently and we need to manually keep switching on and off the wifi utility to get the connection back. even locking the preferred wifi network in system preferences does not help. This never used to happen with Snow Leopard

This is a big thank you to Rys Sinnefeldt who posted this fix.
Rys has made this fix very easy to do and takes literally 2 mins. It involves replacing the Atheros Lion driver 4.0 and replacing it with the snow leopard driver. Don't worry, Rys has made this so simple to do even I could do it and so far I have had no more wifi drops.

Galaxy Note Edge Wifi Connection keeps dropping off

My wifi connections keeps disconnecting even after many attempts to login and getting connected on my home wifi it disconnects within a few seconds. Checked my modem and router and all is good (up to date firmware) and no connection issues on other devices. I verified my Edge is up to date as well. I am at a loss as to why it keeps auto disconnecting from my wifi. I tested tethering to my other cell phone and it stayed connected to it. So where do I go from here?

Cesmenow,
Thanks for reaching out to us. We can assist you. To confirm, this is only happening on your home wi-fi connection or do you also experience it with all wi-fi's?
We can try a couple of troubleshooting steps to resolve this: First, try resetting the app preferences by going to Settings>General>Application manager>Applications then press Settings>Reset app preferences. Tell us if this helps.
If not, then please run your device in Safe Mode - http://tinyurl.com/oo54noe and try again. This turns off all 3rd party apps. Tell us if it helps.
Thank you,

TS4611 I have just received my second MacBook Air 11" the Wifi connection keeps dropping. Also after 3 meters away it keeps searching for network! It is the second try and the same issue. Will Apple ever come up with a solution?

I have just received my second MacBook Air 11" the Wifi connection keeps dropping. Also, after 3 meters away from the rooter it keeps searching for network! It is the second try and the same issues. Will Apple ever come up with a solution? There is a program pack for the connection issue but I cannot believe that this computer wifi keeps connected only while nearby the rooter!

Applied this update?
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4611?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
If the update is installed aready, you may have to wait until OS X 10.8.5
update if and when it is relased.
Best.

I have a new device. When selecting the language and country I am trying to connect to a wifi connection and getting the error 'Your Iphone could not be activated because the activation server cannot be reached. Try connecting to your Iphone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a few minutes.

Where exactly did you get this phone?
Do you have a SIM in the phone?
There are 2 primary causes for this.
Either you don't have a SIM in the phone, which is REQUIRED to activate it, or the phone was hacked to unlock it.

Air play keeps getting dropped from TV

Since the latest software update, videos I'm watching sent from my iPad using airplay keep getting dropped. Is there a problem with this update?

I learned from my IT department that this is now a known issue, affecting many people at my firm. The word is that Apple told them to wait for iOS 8.1 to fix the issue. I upgraded to 8.1 but the issue still occurs, exactly as you describe it. Here's hoping 8.1.1 comes out soon and addresses the issue!

I am unable to get past the first step of Winston Churchill's answer because my phone says "checking for a software update failed because you are not connected to the Internet". Did my WiFi connection also get lost?

I am unable to get past the first step of Winston Churchill's answer because my phone says "checking for a software update failed because you are not connected to the Internet." Did my iphone's WiFi connection also get lost with the Contacts, Mail and Text Messages? When I tried the software update, as recommended by Winston Churchill, the iphone was connected to my desktop which is connected to the Internet.

You can't use your computers Internet connection to update your phone from the phone itself. If you want to use the computers Internet connection to update your phone you must update it through iTunes.

I keep getting drop down messages about updates for my MacBook Pro. These have to do with iphoto, updates that I could care less about. How do I keep these from popping up, with out taking the update. The drop down is very frustrating.

I keep getting drop down reminders about updates to my MacBook Pro. The up dates concern digital camera and iphoto, none of which I want. Is their a way to keep these intermittent drop downs from appearing, or do I have to contend with this interruption until I down load the update?

Where are the drop down reminders appearing? All I get is a number showing up on the App Store dock icon.
You are probably going to have to either update the software or remove it from your computer.

Keep getting dropped from my server

Why do I keep getting dropped from my server? We have 3 computers in our house - all on our wireless router - I have the only Mac and I am the ONLY one experiencing this problem! After using the internet for any length of time, if I let the computer set idle for a short period of time, a window comes up saying Safari cannot find server! This will happen everyday - ALL DAY - and I'm really tired of restarting my computer (which can't be good) I have looked at other FAQ and I saw where someone else was having this problem but when I tried the downloads that was recommended to them, it came up that my computer did not support that download (or something like that). Anyone have any suggestions????

I have the same problem as you, I found that disabling the IPV6 setting and resetting the PRAM helped a bit.
How does it work on your Macbook, on mine if I leave Network Diagnostics open flickers on and off constantly.

Both my I-Pad and mini I-Pad keep getting dropped off what ever website they are on and end up on the homescreen. This happens randomly and often. What is happening?

My ipad 2 and ipod touch keeps on dropping wifi connection, would getting an apple router or maybe airport express help?

ipad 2 and ipod touch keeps on dropping wifi, would upgrading to an apple router/airport express help? all my other pc's work well with my current network.

Have you checked for a firmware update for your current router?
What make, model, version router do you have?

Why does my wifi connection keep dropping in and out?

I have Samsung Galaxy Note 2. The wifi is connected to the wireless router and is the only pc of equipment that is. Full bars. Yet the note keeps dropping the wifi saying it has authenticity errors? My previous cell had absolutely no issues. And its a new router.

I regret to learn of the issues, funeralguy77! Lets figure it out together. Can you try to connect another device to the same WiFi connection. Does it connect? Have you tried to delete/forget the connection and trying again?
Please share additional details so that we can help!
