Wifi drops after restart

Since upgrading to OS X 10.8.2 I have to manually connect to my Wifi network after restarting. This is the case with two different AirPort Extremes and two different MacBook Pros. Any ideas?

Go to to your desktop and in the Dock open System Preferences->Network tab. Then in the Network tab at the top in the 'Location' bar use the pull-down to select 'Edit Locations'. In the Locations pop-up click the + button and add a custom named Location (like Home or School, something along that line where you are located). Don't worry because this custom name Location will act the same as Automatic. Just make sure you save this new custom named Location and save it. Lastly rejoin your wireless network.
Another fix is to open /Applications/Utilties/KeyChain Access and delete the entries for you wireless network and when you re-add your password let it save again. This can also help, good luck.

Wifi dropping after installing yosemite

Problem with wifi dropping after installing Yosemite. Any help out there?

There are definite bugs in Yosemite that need to be addressed by Apple. Multiple people are experiencing Wifi issues with fresh installs of Yosemite.
I was experiencing consistent Wifi issues after a fresh install of Yosemite. I validated that it wasn't my computer or router by doing a fresh re-install of Mavericks. Wifi works flawlessly under Mavericks but always fails under Yosemite. No other software was installed as part of this test.
Here is my configuration:
Model Name: MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro8,1
Processor Name: Intel Core i5
Processor Speed: 2.4 GHz
Number of Processors: 1
Total Number of Cores: 2

Lenovo A--730 wifi drops after five minutes, reappears on disconnct/reconnect

I have a lenovo A-730 tab and I have been facing issues with my wifi.
Here are the details of my tab:-
Model number - LenovoA3300-GV
For the first five minutes, it works like a charm, then the connectivity goes away. Though, the wifi signal strength shows full.
Again, if I turn wifi off and again on, it works for another five minutes again and then stops working.
This is a consistent issue.
Somehow, it seems I am missing some settings or some software issue.
Please guide me in this regard to get this issue of mine fixed.

Hi,
I tired the steps given in this link.
http://www.xda-developers.com/kitkat-wifi-drop-fix/
The steps are:-
1- goto Settings > WiFi settings
2- long-press on Connection
3- Select "Modify network config"
4- check the "Show advanced options" tick.
5- select proxy settings to Manual
6- proxy host name , input the value from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.225
7- Proxy port = input one of them "8080" , "3128" , "80"
8- press the "Save".
9- turn wifi off and the On, you will not see the message ""Sign into Wi-Fi network"
10-now repeat the steps from 1 ~ 4
11- and revert back the proxy settings to "None", its Done.
12- you will be fine with this network.
But no luck, after five minutes, the wifi again goes off after five mins and again comes up on doing disconnect/reconnect.
One more thign did not understand here is as per step 6 to 8, we are changing the proxy and doing the required setting and saving it.
Then, in Step 10, we are reverting it back to the original state as we are setting proxy to none again.
Will it solve the purpose or am I missing something.
My issue is still not fixed

My macbook keeps losing wifi connection after restarting and I can't connect to my wifi in recovery mode

I have two problems actually, which I think are connected.
I installed a new hard drive and am in the process of returning my macbook pro to normal. I'm now using Mac OS X 10.6.8 and I want to be able to update to OS Lion.
When my computer is on it can connect to our wifi without any problems (so the password is working). However, everytime I restart, it looses the connection and does not automatically reconnect. This never happened before and I can't seem to figure out where I can change this. All I have to do to reconnect is go to the wifi symbol and choose our wifi code. It then automatically connects without me needing to type the access code.
The seconde problem is when trying to update to OS Lion, when in recovery mode, all I get is a screen asking me to connect to wifi. I choose our wifi and now I do have to type a password, but whatever I do, it does not accept the code. It has nothing to do with capslock or anything like that.
We are sharing our wifi with our neighbour, so changing the password is not an option. But is is just a simple letters and numbers password.

Why not do a "Restore" in iTunes to set it back to factory settings? That will eliminate any previous information that is causing you issues in use. You will have an iPod which you can sync as if it is new with your settings and info.

Wifi drops after going to sleep

WiFi drops after OS 2.1

Would someone at Rimm be willing to push out or make available OS 2.0 since that OS did work and work perfect. Or at least make a change to the wifi.
Only after 2.1 did wifi hang.
Anything wifi related hangs and hangs all the time. It doesn't matter if I am at home or at a usual hotspot.
Everything worked 1000% perfect before 2.1

After updating my 32GB AT&T iPhone 4 to iOS 4.2.1, the Wi-Fi no longer finds any networks. Immediately prior to this update, the phone found and connected to all networks without issue.
I've tried toggling the Wi-Fi power, resetting the phone, and doing a complete restore, none of which solved the problem. I'm led to believe that this is an issue with this recent software release, and not a hardware problem with my phone.
Please Apple, let us know if this is a known issue, and if so, is there anything we can do to fix it, or will there be a software update to rectify the problem?

WPA-Enterprise WIFI dropping after IOS 6 Upgrade

We use WPA-Enterprise authentication for our WIFI and since upgrading to IOS 6 the connection needs to be reautenticated everytime the iPad is unlocked. This is a major inconveience. With IOS 5 you only autenticated one time and whenever you unlocked your iPad you were already connected.
These are the required settings which IOS 6 still automatically navigates, but it doesn't maintain the login name and password (which autheticates to a RADIUS server):
Network Authentication: WPA-Enterprise
Data Encryption: AES or TKIP
EAP method: PEAP
Inner EAP method: MS-CHAP v2
Check Use Windows user name and password
Uncheck Validate Server certificate

It is forgetting the network everytime the iPad sleeps - even when it doesn't require an unlock passwod.

Wifi Drops after about a month

As I've searched around the forum, I've seen many discussions on wifi connectivity, but not exactly this. My Ipod Touch 3G works great, but almost to the day, every month, I lose connectivity. Signal strength shows good and dispite trying everything on the touch, to fix this, I always resort to re-booting the router. I look at it as one of my monthly chores. Anyone got an idea or fix? Router has the latest firmware and also running latest OS on the touch.

Since rebooting the router fixes it, I think you found the answer to your question - it's your router or it's your ISP. I can't think of any router settings (other than lease times) that would cause anything like this to happen. I'm blaming your ISP.

Bootcamp Wifi Drops frequently after install in Mac OS and Windows??

Hi all, I'm running vista via bootcamp on a macbook pro 10.5.8. Ever since I'm installed bootcamp I'm having problems with my wifi dropping after say 15mins. This happens both in vista and mac os. The connection drops but still appears active via the status icons. I've updated the drivers via my mac os disc and web updates but still have the problem. Any thoughts as its bugging me now.
Also how can I make vista accept a direct connection to the internet via ethernet?
Cheers,
Devs.

Install the MacDrive trial on the PC and copy off/delete enough data from the Mac drive to allow it to boot up.

Wifi issues after Android 4.4.2 update (specifically WEP issue with 2.4GHz router)

I have an old Westell 2.4Ghz Wifi router which is using 128-bit WEP security (13 character password).
When I bought my HTC One it came with Android 4.2.2 and could not connect to my home Wifi. After rebooting, changing passwords, using 2.4GHz network freq on the phone, and trying the mystical power-down, volume-down, special-screen trick ... nothing worked. However, Verizon was kind enough to extend my data plan for free so I could download the massive 4.3 update over 4G network. Android 4.3 fixed my WEP / Wifi issue.
Early this morning (Feb 18, 2014), Android 4.4.2 was downloaded and installed on my HTC One. Guess what? No wifi connection after restarting the phone, rebooting the wifi, etc. Isn't that nice?
Android developers, I plead for your mercy. Please stop making x.x.2 releases!
And also, please fix the WEP issue in 4.4.3.

Upgrade == $$$
No thanks. I'll spend my money on more important things, like little gifts for my wife.
I have several devices connected to my home WiFi that work just fine (printer, laptops, flat-screen tv, etc). It is just these Android 4.4.2 devices that fail (yes, I have two HTC One phones, both with the same problem).
Reading the posts on forums.androidcentral.com , it looks like lots of folks are having the same issue.

My i Phone drops WiFi connection after just a few minutes and wont reconnect unless I reset the network settings and reboot the phone?

My i Phone 4s has suddenly started to drop wifi connection after nealy months of near perfect connections?
To restore a wifi connection I have to reset the network settings and restart the phone, this only fixes the issues for around 2-3 mins?
Other quick fixes like switching wifi on and off/ switching to airoplane mode for a few secconds have no impact.
This is really annoying as I am using my data allowence very quickly, and as the phone is continually searching for a wifi connection the battery time has reduced dramatically.
I just wondered if any one else has the same issue, and any suggestions as to how I can fix this.
Thanks in Advance

Reboot.
Restore (from backup)
Restore (as new)
Test after each step. If one of them doesn't fix the problem, make an appointment at the genius bar.

After recent upgrade to Yosemite on Macbook air bluetooth audio cuts out and associated video stops with audio. Likewise with airplay and Apple TV. I have deleted all my saved wifi connections and restarted numerous times. I do not expect a resolutio

After recent upgrade to Yosemite on Macbook air bluetooth audio cuts out and associated video stops with audio. Likewise with airplay and Apple TV. I have deleted all my saved wifi connections and restarted numerous times. I do not expect a resolution from the community, but hope to get the attention of Apple engineers. If you are having same problems or have a miracle cure I am all ears.

May start my own thread, but I'm having similar issues.
I've been using an old iMac (running 10.7.5) and Apple TV for years with no issues. Last week I bought a new Macbook Pro running Yosemite and have had audio issues multiple times. The weird thing is that sometimes it works flawlessly, other times (like now) I spend half an hour just trying to get a song to play.
My issues are: When I got to "computers" in Apple TV to stream my music, my music is sometimes chopper or intermittent, and I seen to know when it's going to happen based on the status wheel just before it plays. When I choose a song, the status wheel will spin for an unusually long time, usually an indicator that the audio is either not going to work, or stutter.
When it does finally pull up a song, the playhead sits at the beginning of the song for a good 3-5 seconds before actually playing. Then, when it starts playing, it's all downhill. It will play a few seconds, drop out, play a few more seconds, drop out, and then ultimately the playhead will keep moving across the song as if it's playing, but there's no audio.
Again, this is a new phenomenon never experienced by me. I've tried everything I could think of, some of them all at once:
• restart Apple TV
• restart Macbook Pro
• quite iTunes/open
• turn off Home Sharing on iTunes then reconnect it
• unplugging and cycling both my modem and router
None of these have alleviated the problem.
The odd thing is, like this morning, the audio started up perfectly and never gave me any issues. It wasn't until later in the day that it started. Perhaps after the macbook pro had been put to sleep? Not sure.
Regardless, this is an annoying trait, one that's new to me and my system (as stated, worked flawlessly until my new purchase), and is 100% limited to either a) the macbook pro b) Yosemite or c) both of them.
