WiFi drop

Hello,...
I've upgraded myself from 8310 to 8520 BB Curve. And I frigging adore the device... I have some issues with it though ... My WiFi keeps getting disconnected? It's connected for a few minutes and its get disconnected? How can I have 0-24h wifi enabled?
Thanks

Here is what alleviated my issue. I had similar issues with having to renter the security key randomly. I have no issue with a week signal .
"workaround": Change the channel on the router. It seems that my iPad had difficulties when my neighbors had a router on the same channel. Normally it just works like any Ethernet card and shares the bandwidth. But in this case the ipad gets confused.
I used net stomper on my laptop to find what routers were near my house and what channel they used. I found that two used channel 9 (default for AT&T u-verse). I looked for a channel that was at least 2 away from any local router. I selected 11. Since then I have only had one drop (over a week now).

Remote app wifi drops out constantly

Hello,
Just a quick question - When I use the Remote app on my iPhone the wifi drops out all the time. I'll open up the application, it works fine, I change a song, then after 2 or 3 minutes I'll go back to put on a different song and get the Cannot connect to iTunes screen. Also the wifi icon up the top of my iPhone isn't on. I can fix this by going in to Settings > Wifi and it finds the network, then I can go back in to the remote app but obviously this is annoying to do every time I want to change a song.
I'm not using a router, just created a wireless network for my phone through Aiport on my mac. What turns the wifi connection off after a while if it's not constant in use, is it the computer or iPhone?
What settings can I change so that this connection is constant? And yes the stay connected setting in the remote app is turned on.
Thanks for any help : )

I'm experiencing the same problem. I recently got the latest gen Apple TV. I couldn't believe the instability of the Remote app's connection to the Apple TV.
Prior to the new ATV, I used a Mini and Front Row and the previous version of the Remote app worked flawlessly. Once connected, I could lock my phone and come back to it periodically and it was always connected in would respond near instantly.
Now unfortunately, every time I lock the phone the remote app loses the connection and I have to wait for it to find the ATV, restore the connection, load the library. It's maddening. I mean the AirPlay stuff is great but a stable consistent connection is the foundation to everything.

IOS 8.1.2 on iphone 6 Wifi drops and doesnt reconnect

Hi,
I had the an issue with wifi dropping and not reconnecting automatically on my iphone 6 with ios 8.1.2
The wifi was disconnecting every minutes even when the screen was not locked. I had to go back to wifi settings and reselect the network I want
I tried all the tips available (forget network, reset network setting, reboot phone, disable location, disable air drop/bluetooth, etc)
This was happening mostly in hotels with annoying DNS that redirects you to a web page to login with name/room # so changing wifi router settings was not an option
I finally set up static IP adress as mentionned in another post and now my wifi is stable for 3h (and reconnects works too)... thanks
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6554548?tstart=0
I have resolved this issue on my new iPhone6 as follows. My router is a fairly old Belkin in this case.
1) on iPhone in settings, WiFi, forget this network
2) select the network again and select the blue i button
3) Log in to your ADSL router from another device and note network and DNS settings
4) on iPhone reconfigure using Static settings rather than DHCP (thats what I did anyway)
5) Log in to your ADSL router again and restart it or power it down and up again
6) on iPhone reconnect to the WiFi when it restarts
Now everything seems to be ok with the iPhone connected and staying connected.
However this is more a patch than a fix because when I leave the hotel (or any wifi network), the router will assign my static IP to someone else end when I come back it wont work anymore,
My guess is that IOS 8 has problems reconnecting to a router when a new IP address is leased.
The fact that the signal is weak might also affect the frequency at which the ip is renewed
FYI, I have always been a android user and just switched to apple... Not impressed. Hope this is fixed shortly

Jay,
I've tried most everything as well (including new router before I realized it wasn't our iphone 5's but IOS 8 updates. After turning off LTE and Data Roaming in the Cellular settings, things work much better. WiFi stays connected. Have since re-enabled LTE and it still works. Tried a dozen other "recommendations"; it may have been a combination of things. Still not blazing speed, but tolerable. Just wish 8.1.3 had the fix (from what I've seen today, it's not fixed). Be glad you're not having the SIRI hands-free problem; she won't connect calls in one car and has problems connecting in the other car. About as many have this problem as the wifi snafu that came with IOS 8.

GP70 2PE Leopard WiFi drops

Hello
I've been having WiFi drops with this laptop at random intervals. It is probably an issue with the WiFi drivers. Is there any post about this issue already, that states the correct drivers to fix this problem?
Regards,
Niels

Hey, I've used the manual to improve/stabilize my internet connection. There still are some small drops in the connection and sometimes it is completely gone, turning on and off the WiFi on this laptop instantly restores the connection.
The router I am using is this one:

Additionally I've noticed that periodically my wifi will drop out, and when I go to Airport Utility my Extreme is unavailable. I don't know if this error and the two the wifi drop outs are linked or not. At first I thought it was the new firmware for the basestation, but now I'm not so sure because last time I launched airport utility and the extreme was unavailable I saw the basestation come back on line.
One final note. I have a home server on a mac mini (ML Server essentially for ituens shared liberary). All the macs access this server.

Wifi drops constantly on WPA enterprise wifi on my campus

Hello,
I own a macbook pro retina mid 2012 on maverick. The wifi drops constantly on campus, it's a WPA enterprise wifi. The wifi seems to work fine at home. My computer has been sent to an apple store twice for this issue already, I got it back but it is still not working and i spent more than 3 hours on the phone with apple trying to solve that issue. They made me run a lot of stuff, got me to send them files so that their engineers could work on them.
Bottom of the story, they tell me that the problem must come from my university wifi, a wifi network used by 50 000 students every single day and everyone is fine with it ...
I have been to the computer help desk on campus and they had no idea what to do.
So please if anyone has any hint, i would greatly appreciate as I lost faith in apple "engineers" and their skills.
Thanks guys.

Wifi dropping constantly on a MacBook Air and iPad 2 and iPad 3. I am not computer savvy so any solution will have to be in 'normal' language, please.

I keep looking for the solution to wifi dropping constantly, but just can't understand the answers, let alone follow the instructions. Can anyone please explain in 'baby' language how to stop wifi constantly dropping on my MacBook Air and iPads 2 and 3. I have had this problem for about three weeks and prior to that everything was fine. I am using a D-Link Router on channel 11, with AOL as my provider. Thank you so much.

That is correct, so I have just been told!! Our Router is a D-Link DSL-2640R which we access via typing 192.168.1.1 into our Internet Explorer Browser on a Windows PC computer. All this has been working for years. The Summary page for the Router shows Internet, DSL and Wireless are all connected and working fine. We have changed the channel to 11 which has made things faster and is not in conflict with nearby systems, but wi-fi still drops on the Mac and iPads. I have only had this problem for a matter of a few weeks. Before that all worked perfectly fine.
By the way thank you very much for trying to help.

When backing up using the G Drive on using time machine my wife drops the icon into the trash icon on the loading dock. I told her this was not correct. Who is right? Thanks in Advance.

Folks,
I found my wife dropping the icon of her backup file into the trash icon on the dock. She had just completed using Time machine and when to uninstall the Gdrive. I told her this was an erroneous practice. She disagreed. Who is right?

New Time Capsule Gen4 Wifi drops

the 1. old TC 1. Gen a lo of problems with Power Supply, Backup but the Wifi works over 3 Years well.
now i get a new TC Gen4, but Wifi will not work stable. After few hours, mostly in evening, Wifi drop the internet Session on Ipad's.
i changed the TC in a new one, similar problem, i upgraded to 7.6.1 ... similar problem.
i discoussions here a lot of Wifi issues are reported, no one get a solution i tried all the tips ... not solving the pain.
older firmware are referenced to get more stable, but there is no link on apple's support page -> if you get a link, please give me ex. 7.5.1/2 are bether.
older firmware does have a bullet more under option -> something like "interference sensibility". maybe this would help.
old TC was fine, same area, same time, new TC and replaced TC is bad -> please apple its yours to fix this!!
any serios solution its helpfull, now i tried over 5 days all options, channels ... its worst!
thanks

You need 5.6 utilty for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Then when you select to update the firmware, hold down the options key.. the link to the older firmware opens and you can select.. but the new Gen4 might not go back if it was originally supplied to you with 7.6 firmware.
Use the old Gen 1 for wireless. Just use a 5v power supply hard wired to the internal board plug. The TC will run forever with a simple external 5v 3A power supply.

Frustratingly, since I upgraded to Yosemite 10.10, I too am having the worst problems with WiFi dropping out. I've never had this problem before on my iMac 27-inch mid 2011 model. Turning WiFi off and then back on again sometimes works. Help please.

Frustratingly, since I upgraded to Yosemite 10.10, I too am having the worst problems with WiFi dropping out. I've never had this problem before on my iMac 27-inch mid 2011 model. Turning WiFi off and then back on again sometimes works. Help please. I've already tried a lot of your suggested fixes, but without success. Why hasn't Apple Fixed this?

Please test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Take the applicable steps in this support article. The Wireless Diagnostics program generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
Step 2
Disconnect all USB 3 devices. If you don't know which are USB 3, disconnect all USB devices except keyboard and mouse.
Step 3
If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. If you find that Wi-Fi works better with Bluetooth disabled, you should use the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band. Your router may not support it; in that case, you need a new router.
Step 4
Open the Energy Saver pane in System Preferences and unlock the settings, if necessary. Select the Power Adapter tab, if there is one. Uncheck the box marked
Wake for Wi-Fi network access
if it's checked.
Step 5
Open the Network pane in System Preferences and make a note of your settings in the Wi-Fi service. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the various tabs in the preference pane. If the preference pane is locked, unlock it by clicking the padlock icon and entering your administrator password. Delete Wi-Fi from the service list on the left by selecting it and clicking the minus-sign button at the bottom. Then recreate the service by clicking the plus-sign button and following the prompts.
Step 6
In the Wi-Fi settings, select
Advanced... ▹ TCP/IP ▹ Configure IPv6: Link-local
Click OK and then Apply.
Step 7
Reset the System Management Controller.
Step 8
Reset the PRAM.
Step 9
Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first.
Step 10
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.

Has New Router or Antenna Helped WiFi Dropping Issues?

Hi, I'm helping someone get setup with their brand new MacBook (2.26Ghz White). It's only 3 days old, but could not reliably connect to their wireless network anywhere except in the same room as their router. They have a Netgear WGR614 router.
When in the room with the router, everything works great, but once out in the main living room (just down a very short hallway), they get constant dropouts or the computer won't connect at all. I would say it connects maybe 10% of the time. But an old PC laptop, my Android phone, and the living room TiVo all connect perfectly and never drop out, no matter where we walk.
I've read through some of the threads, and most are concerning older machines. But I spent a couple hours with 2nd level Apple tech support today, and they concluded after much testing that it may be hardware related. So we ended up taking it back to day and swapping for a completely new machine (instead of having the Airport card replaced). But this machine has the SAME EXACT PROBLEM!
My signal strength in the main area averages around -60 to -70, which should be fine to connect. And it appears to be on a pretty clear channel.
- So, if it's not hardware related (or if all MacBooks will have this same issue), I'm wondering what other solutions people have tried that has given some success?
- Anyone try extension antennas for their routers? If so, which work well and are affordable?
- How about specific routers known to work well with Mac (better than Netgear)? The Airport Extreme BS is just too expensive for what it offers.
THANKS! If we can't get this working in this small, basic setup, we'll probably have to try something other than Mac unfortunately.

Constant wifi drop & disconnect

My one month old iMac does not maintain an interent connection for very long. Sometimes it stays connected for <maybe> an hour, but MORE often it drops either the wifi signal all together or just stops connecting to the internet... when it does seem to have a connection it is VERY slow.
My solution: turn off Wifi wait a few seconds and turn it back on... which is very annoying, but that fixes it.
I have the latest software across the board. I'm running wifi on Time machine. My signal is strong. I have a Powerbook and iPad that connects to it without issues (for a couple of years its been fine until this iMac problem).
Any suggestions?

There are actually many threads on this subject around here, like this one:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3190651?start=0&tstart=0
There are also many articles on Lion wifi drops. Here are my two cents:
I have a 4 month old iMac running Lion and for the first three months it worked beautifully, but I started having problems with my internet provider and they sent over a technician who changed my modem/router to a new one and configured a new network. He never even touched my iMac, it was all done on one of the PCs in my house, and immediately after that my iMac started dropping the connection all the time. All the other computers in the house (pc and Snow Leopard mac) are working fine.
I have read a thousand threads on this subject and apparently it is a known issue with Lion. There are many suggestions for solutions and I've tried every single one of them, including removing the network in the system preferences panel and then adding it back; or adding DNS servers to the DNS list; or changing the channel on your network (it should be lower than 11). If you search for threads here you'll find many of these supposed solutions, so I'm going to cut to the chase. The only one that worked for me is this:
Open Terminal (type Terminal into Spotlight)
Paste the following line exactly as is into the Terminal window:
ping `route get default | awk '(/gateway/){print $2}'`
Press enter
DON'T close the Terminal window. Just press cmd+H to hide it and leave it running in the background.
It is NOT a permanent solution and you have to do it every time you restart your computer, and you have to keep Terminal running on the background. It is a huge pain, but I find that connection drops every 10 minutes is an even bigger pain. Basically what this command does is send signals to the modem every couple of seconds so that the connection doesn't drop from being inactive. It won't affect anything else on your computer and it's not very system-consuming.
This seems to be the only way to have a steady connection for now, until Apple addresses the situation. They just issued an update regarding this issue last week or so, so I suggest you try to keep your system as updated as possible. This update only worked for me till my next startup, though.
However, like I said the problem only started after the technician changed my modem/router and network, so I suspect this is not a Lion problem, but a network problem. The only different thing I can think of that was done with the new network is that I used to have a WEP password and now I have a WPA2 Personal password. I intend to delete this new network and create a new one from scratch, but I haven't had the time yet. I suspect though that there could be some incompatibility with the actual machine (the modem/router), and not the network. I have not found any info on this and have not yet been able to figure out.
I hope this helps, if I find out something more I'll post about it, but in the meantime check out the other threads and google some articles, there are many different answers and opinions on this.
