Wifi Enigmatic issue

Hi Dear Community,
Long time... Reason is many issues with my home's Wifi network.
Here's my issue :
Had a DSL plan wiith a local provider : connection cuts every 10 to 30 minutes
Changed the router 3 times : same issue, so, I thought it was the phone line
Changed carrier and replaced the DSL connection with a 3G router with a plan : SAME ISSUE
Bought an Apple Airport Extreme : SAME ISSUE
The issue is even related to local connection (LAN), the LAN problem doesn't happen when I connect to the Airport Extreme using an ethernet cable
Thanks

The issue is even related to local connection (LAN), the LAN problem doesn't happen when I connect to the Airport Extreme using an ethernet cable
If any of the following symptoms sound familiar:
A decrease in the wireless range between devices
A decrease in data throughput over Wi-Fi
Intermittent or complete loss of the wireless connection
Then there are two words to describe your issue:
Wireless Interference
See if this Apple Support document will help with some suggestions for this perplexing issue.

HP Slate 21 Pro: WiFi connection issues

Hi,
I recently ordered two HP Slate 21 Pro devices. Unfortunately, both of them have WiFi connection issues. After some time the properly configured WiFi connection will be dropped, which results in connectionless devices. The WiFi AP is disabled after this, and so a timed reconnect will not succeed.
After inspecting the Logcat I found following lines:

Is this issue already known? Has someone a solution for me?
Thanks in advance,

That really shouldn't affect it.
I'm a little stumped because I haven't seen this issue with this device before. The only similar issue I found was this, and it's unresolved.
Have you tried doing a hard reboot of the Slate 21?
I work on behalf of HP (But this isn't my job)

Wifi disconnect issue w new Mac

I bought a new Mac about a week ago. Right away I started experiencing wifi disconnect issues. I called customer support line and they had me reset the eprom. I don't recall the key sequence now. The problem went away for a week but has now returned. Is this a hardware quality issue?

right my friend, you know this is not an uncommon issue with mac, all my macs have the same issue (macbook, mac pro, mac mini and older imac), i disconnect the wifi and reconnect to sole the issue. it depends alot on what you have thats goign on around you, if there is a lot of wireless networks in your area then this might cause the issue. i improved this problem using a time machine and set the wireless to 5ghz only - it helped. i also bought an airport express to strengthen the network and touchwood this is a rare problem for me now!
try moving the modem around in case it this - ensure its not on the floor or touching the floor, there are many tips for improving modem connections look on youtube
however the sequence for this is on

Is there a fix for the wifi connectivity issue after ios6 update?

Is there a fix for the wifi connectivity issue after ios6 update?
Cannot connect to any wifi since update to 6.0.1
How do I get update to 6.0.2?
Will that even help?

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

WiFI N issue on iphone 4

hello
Lost of persons have constated a Wifi connection issue with iDevice on WiFi N mode. This problem involve connection lost or data connection lost event if the iphone already have an ip adress. I've tried in my wifi router different channels, 40 mhz bandiwth mode, 20 bandwith mhz mode. Iphone wifi connection work sometimes but it's a weak connection (good signal, ip adress still connected but no data transit between). So i have to switch the iphone to air mode and back to normal to retrieve a wifi connection working for 10min.
I can't send music via airplay to my airport express too. Air port detected, but send no music on it. Disable WiFi N mode to G mode work perfectly with airplay on AE. Wifi data working a well without any issues. The problem seems last iphone/ipad ios, because lots of poeples have these problem in many different brand wifi router. Some guys said there was no problem on previous iOs version (4.3?).
Hope this bug will be fixed in iOS5 to improve WiFi 802.11 N mode.
Cheer
Thierry

HHi I had the same issue my husband went back to using his iPhone 4, I have the iPhone 5 and a iPad and mini. I couldn't set the wifi on his iPhon,
This is what I did and what my be the issue everyone is having. The iPhone 4 works with a 2.4 ghz radio frequency all the new products work with a 5 ghz. If you change the frequency in your router the IPhone 4 will pick up your wifi. the only problem is that once you change it all your other pproducts will not pick up the wifi connection. I'm going to continue to change the frequency until they all work, will keep you up dated.

Worth buying a MBP right now?? (Are WiFi/router issues being addressed?)

I was planning to buy a new Macbook Pro, and then I began reading about all the wifi connection issues. Is Apple working on a fix for this? I am no techie and the thought of having to debug a router configuration so that I can get my MBP connected to the internet is not appealing. What is the status of this issues, as of Dec 29, 2008? (I plan to use my MBP downstairs via a wireless connection to my PC upstairs that is cabled into the wall and uses a cable modem. I'll buy the router for the PC when I purchase the MBP.) Thanks for any input!

If you look at various update description pages, you'll see Airport is addressed for certain reasons:
10.5.6:
Improves the reliability of AirPort connections, including improvements when roaming in large wireless networks with an Intel-based Mac.
10.5.4:
Addresses AirPort reliability issues with 5GHz networks.
Addresses AirPort issues that may result in slower performance in Logic Studio or MainStage.
10.5.3:
Improves 802.1X behavior and reliability.
Improves reliability when using Time Capsule.
10.5.2:
Improves connection reliability and stability
Includes 802.1X improvements.
Resolves certain kernel panics.
10.5.1:
Allows password-protected accounts on AirPort Disks to show up on in the Finder's Shared Sidebar.
Resolves an issue with saved passwords for wireless networks.
10.4.9:
Adds support for WPA2 encryption in Network Diagnostics.
Addresses an issue with automatic AirPort connections that use different authentication methods.
And then there are all these Airport downloads:
http://support.apple.com/downloads/#airport
Suffice it to say, Apple hasn't been standing still. One problem is, neither has the industry, and 802.11n is still a draft standard which no one company seems willing to settle on.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/802.11n
Until everyone does, networking will be a constant cat and mouse game with wireless.

IOS 6.1.3 hav'nt fix wifi greyed issue

i just restore my iphone 4s with the latest ios 6.1.3 but still can't fix the wifi greyed out issue .... why Apple how long should we have to wait ? PLZZZZZZ do something i fed up with my phone .... from ios 5.1.1 i got this issue still not fix in 6.1.3 .... why r u playing with us

Lawrence,
My 4 and 3G never suffered the WiFi disabled issue with any version of iOS they ran (I didn't install 6.x on my 4 yet) and I have yet to see it mentioned about any device older than the 4S, which for the record was released 10/7/2011 (a year, 5 months and 13 days) ago
As regards the WiFi chip overheating, I agree that is possible. Said device uses a BCM4330 for WiFi and BT, vs BCM4329 in the 4. A little searching reveals whilst the 4330 is in use in other non Apple devices, there doesn't seem to be any report of the chip overheating, though there may be other factors in the design and / or the processing load that iOS 6 places upon it that contribute to it doing so.
I doubt the replacement 4S handsets Apple is handing out are in any way different hardware-wise (posts suggest they're just handing out 5.1.1'd 4Ss) so with the same hardware/software combo it's probably just going to happen again when people update to 6. Is it right to say nothing on it and keep selling them?

Bad corporate wifi connection issues

Hi,
I've experienced a corporate wifi connection issue.
Having the issue on two z3compacts (latest kitkat build) and also with a Z3 (also latest kitkat build).
connection details:
EAP-Method: PEAP
Phase 2-Auth: MSCHAPV2
CA-Certs: no
Identity: yes
Password: yes
Issue is the following if you roaming between APs it happens the the smartphones jumps to a next AP with better signal but it is not possible to connect to the wifi.
There are two workarounds:
1. re-enter the password for the connection again
2. turn on airplane mode and turn it off again
The state is very annoying.
We've tested various Samsung and Nexus smartphones and we couldn't experienced that issue.
Any of you experienced the same?
Br,
Michael

Hi Phy,
thanks for that hint!
Can't believe anymore that it is a network component issue...because,
We have 500 android devices integrated (LG, Samsung, Nexus) and also nearly 4300 iPhones (4s, 5c, 5s and 6 (IOS7-8))
Besides them three xperia Z3 devices for testing purpose.
We only experienced this issue with the xperia devices.
Actually we're observing this issue over a month now.
We checked also the wifi controler logs and we saw that the xperia devices quit connections and connections tries by themselves.
Br,
Michael

Still having WiFi connectivity issues. What can I do to fix this?

I have the new Macbook Air 2013, and since day one i have had WiFi connectivity issues. I know that this problem has been worked on and that a recent release of an update could help fix this problem. However; nothing for me has changed. I connect to my home internet and sooner or later my MBA disconnects and i have to reconnect it by either turning the WiFi on and off or going into network diagnostics. The time of my Air actually being connected varies from a coulpe second to a couple minutes and occasionally I may get 30 to 45 minutes before a disconnect.
If you could help it would be much appreciated.

That statement is unfounded, actually. ALL of those currently with wifi issues are able to connect via their iphone hotspot, or by means of their homebase AIRPORT base station, .....indicative of a software/ firmware issue.
Most dont consider a minor software/firmware issue an empirical defect, anymoreso than "forgetting something" is an empirical defect in a human being is.
The "speaker issue" is now uttterly proven a simple software issue, soon to be fixed, same is the case with the wifi issue.
You're forgetting that Apples 802AC wifi is "next generation" 'tomorrows' technology. That a minor bug exists, soon to be fixed, is understandable. Look on the bright side, ....the Macbook AIR is #1 seller and most beloved superbook out there for many reasons

Wifi Connectivity issues - looking for insight

Hi everyone,
Given the breadth and variety of wifi-related issues on this forum, I was hoping to find a topic that resembled the issues I am currently experiencing. Alas, I was unable to find a solution.
Recently (I noticed on Friday, Dec 18), I have been unable to connect to the internet wirelessly through AirPort. For months now, I've been connecting without problems to my work wireless network (WPA2 Enterprise), and home wireless network (WPA2 Personal) but only recently have both suddenly stopped working. My initial diagnosis was that it was related to a recent software update that I allow OS X to deal with weekly, but if I recall correctly it was a *Java-related update*.
The symptoms, if they might be of use, are as follows:
➔ Airport can see any available wireless networks, secured and unsecured
➔ Preferred networks it can connect to automatically, it will say it's done so (ie. Airport's connectivity icon at the top-right of the screen *shows 4/4 bars for connectivity*, clicking on the wifi icon shows a check mark next to my work network, which is secured)
➔ When I open Network preferences, the Status (using Work network as an example) reads "Authenicated", with subtext "Authenicated via PEAP (Inner Protocol: MSCHAPv2) with a connect time that appears to function normally (ie. it isn't resetting unless I turn off airport and turn it on again)
➔ While the status reads "Authenicated", the Airport icon at the left side of the Network panel reads "Not connected" with an unpleasant red globe clearly signaling that despite the right side of the panel's deceptive text, I have sweet nothing
➔ *Other forms of network connection do not seem to be affected*. Currently, my iPhone is connected to my MBP via USB and is allowing me to write this post via Tethering. I have not tried an Ethernet connect but I would assume that it works at this point.
➔ my computer hardware should be displayed with the post's meta-information
I would prefer a solution that isn't "just update to Snow Leopard," but I'm open to and grateful for any advice offered. I have tried solutions such as this one (http://jkontherun.com/2009/12/13/macbook-firmware-update-kills-my-bluetooth-wi-f i/), but with no success. Simply turning off AirPort and turning it on again has also not been successful.
Thanks in advance. If I can answer any more questions that might assist with the problem, please don't hesitate to ask.

That has to be one of the best written posts describing the problem. Nicely done.
The first thing I would try is to go into System Preferences->Network (under Internet and Wireless) and then select Airport on the left pane. Once there, select the Advanced button on the lower right side.
There, you should see a listing of all the wireless networks your computer has remembered. Delete them all. This will clear out all the stored network settings for each network you've joined.
Once you've done that, rejoin your home network. Then go back to the advanced tab and make sure that the TCP/IP settings are correct and you've been assigned an IP address. Then check the Proxies section. If you do not use proxies, make sure nothing in there is checked (you probably don't use them at home).
I would also try a wired ethernet connection. If that behaves in the same manner, then the issue is somewhere else. If not, then the problem is isolated to the Airport card and may require a trip to the Apple store for further help.

Wifi Connectivity Issues, how to Downgrade

I am using a 13 inch macbook late 2007 model running snow leopard 10.6.4 My problem is that after waking my macbook from sleep my wifi errors and has the connection timed out or the invalid password when it is correct. My roommates are able to connect to the router perfectly fine and My airport can connect to my home network as well as the campus network. I have tried the various fixes including trashing the system config folder, adding a new location, deleting locations, adding and removing airport, adding and removing preferred network locations, repairing disk permissions. Im sick and tired of trying to find a work around to this problem. I have time machine enabled but I don't want to roll my computer back an entire year just to fix wifi connectivity issues. Is there a way to downgrade without losing my applications, and personal files. No i didn't make a back up before install, I just want a to downgrade to 10.6.3 which I never had connectivity issues, is this possible?

It is managed by apple but no direct responses are from apple, yes i have had problems in the past with arrogance and users showing no respect for "noobs". The genius bar is located 2 hours away and when I do have access im skeptical to leave my macbook with them because i NEED it for school work. But my intentions weren't to be negative but to shed light on a problem. I was being sincere and sometimes the truth is negative; there is most certainly a need because without bringing attention to problems how is anything going to get solved or changed? Also if you reread what i posted it states "Finally a forum where members AREN'T arrogant", meaning that I WASN'T referring to this forum.

TS1398 Has anyone had WiFi connectivity issues with their iPhone 5 after accepting the latest IOS 8.0.2?

Has anyone had WiFi connectivity issues at home with their iPhone 5 after accepting the recent IOS 8.0.2 update?

Yes, despite being it an iPhone5 (8.0.2) attempting to connect to an Airport Express.
In my case the iPhone "connects" to Airport Express 2nd generation, but no Internet packages are available; Airport Utility shows the Airport Express as not connected to the Internet; but the iMac, MBP, Motorola phone, Samsung Smart TV and HP printer connect without any trouble.
The actual issue is the DHCP :
sometimes the iPhone gets none, and
when an address is assigned it just doesn't work,
even renewing the address won't work all the times,
switching off and on the WiFi won't work all the times neither,
going on Airplane mode, then back won't work all the times.
Solutions attempted and failed:
Reseting and reconfiguring Airport Express;
Reseting iPhone;
Switching off and on the iPhone;
Setup the DHCP renewal for every 5 days;
Meditation and stark visualisation;
Other possible patch not yet attempted : setting fixed IP addresses
All suggestions received resemble Windows' "Plug & Pray"
I gave up after reading several notes around the WWW complaining about it.
Last credible suggestion : wait for 8.0.3 or 8.1, whichever fixes the issue first.
