Wifi Dropping out & not recognising Hub password.
OS X Yosemite
Version 10.10.2
MacBook Pro
Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 256 MB
Hi,
On my MacBook Pro the wifi keeps dropping out, and when I click the relevant Hub, in My case its a BT Home Hub 5 (Bt Infinity), It asks for the Hub password again, even though it's suppose to remember it, but I put in the right password, for it and it tells me that it's Invalid. This happened a little bit with 10.10.1 and I know Apple addressed the problem in the update into Yosemite 10.10.2 but since I installed it, it has got worse. In the past hour I've tried to reconnect no less than 40 times, with it telling me the same thing over and over saying that the password is invalid.
Previous steps tried:
Turning wifi off on MacBook for 30 Seconds - 1 Minute
Forgetting the Hub and reconnecting to it.
Resetting the Hub
Restarting MacBook
Punching MacBook
None of Which have worked yet, if anyone has any solutions, could you help me out because I don't know what else to try.
Adam.
Yes, it could be the home hub 2.

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.
Thanks in advanceFrom the menu bar, select
▹ About This Mac
Below the "OS X" legend in the window that opens, the OS version appears. Click the version line twice to display the serial number. If the number is missing or invalid according to this web form, take the machine to an Apple Store or other authorized service center to have the problem corrected. -
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. -
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. -
TS1541 imac will does not recognise my password or username
My iMac does not recognise my password or username. have installed the Mac OS X disc that came with the computer and put in place a new password and username, this worked for a day and has now shut me out again? I dont want to have to reinstall the OS X disc again. What are my options?
The most common reason for this is caps lock. Check that it has not been activated.
Is it a wired keyboard or wireless?
Use the install disk to change the password - details:

my wifi is not connected on my iphone and when i try to connect it does not recognise my password
Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode. -
Hello all
I upgraded from Snow Leopard to the latest Mountain Lion OS and now my Wifi will not work. When I try and insert the password to my Wifi network states either 'connection timed out' or 'password and/or user name not recognised' please help...!Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
Restart the router. Many problems are solved that way.
Step 2
Change the name of the wireless network, if applicable, to eliminate any characters other than letters and digits. You do that on your router via its web page, if it's not an Apple device, or via AirPort Utility, if it is an Apple device.
Step 3
From the menu bar, select
▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network
Click the Assist me button and select Assistant. Follow the prompts.
Step 4
Back up all data.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Enter the name of your wireless network in the search box. You should have one or more "AirPort network password" items with that name. Make a note of the name and password, then delete all the items. Quit Keychain Access. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. Reconnect to the network.
Step 5
You may need to change other settings on the router. See the guidelines linked below:
Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
Potential sources of interference
Step 6
Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain. -
Hello, over the past few weeks I have noticed that when I have BT fon and BT openzone turned on. The wifi on my bt home hub 2 tends to drop out a lot more and the signal not be as strong. Nearly twice a day my laptop and other wifi equipment around the house will disconnect from the router and wont reconnect for a good 2 to 5 minuets. But when I have bt FON and openzone turned off on the hub. The wifi never disconnects ever.
I have used inssider to see if there are any other routers causing interference. But I can only pick up one other and that's extremely low signal and on a different wifi channel.
Is there anything i can do to help stop this wifi disconection with bt fon turned on.?
Thanks
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.What is probably happening is that your devices are trying to connect to BTOpenzone or BTFON isstead of your main SSID. This is a very common probem and there is some help on the link below.

Hi, its me again, having just recieved a new hh3 as my last was faulty, i find that the wifi keeps dropping out at random intervals some times 15 seconds all the way up to 3 or 4 minutes, when it does this the blue wifi light on the front of the hub goes out for a second, i have tried every single channel, 802.11 b/g, and a factory reset, is it faulty ? i havent the time to spend an hour on the phone to tech support, should add it drops multiple devices all at the same time not just one.
Ha, this is actually funny, i got some time to ring tech support, told them the above problem he started doing tests, starts to tell me the problem is my white open reach modem, i say no way, he says it is defiantly without a doubt the open reach modem, i say hold on i had thie hh3 replaced yesterday, for a different reason but we wont get into that, so i plug in the old hh3 and everything is dandy, i say see it works its not the open reach modem, he then lost the ability to speak anymore so i hung up, talk about chocolate fireguard.
