Wifi Keeps Disconnecting Without Actually Disconnecting

Every once in a while on my new MacBook Air, when im on the internet, it works just fine, but then sometimes when I click on a link or anything that would make my computer load a new page, it would load forever, the top loading bar for the link stops half way, and my internet just stops. Im pretty sure its not my internet, but turning off wifi and turning it back on seems to help.

Wifi keeps disconnecting, only at work

I have a Macbook Pro Retina 13" and at work it keeps disconnecting from the router. I've tried a lot to try to fix it and there are certain conditions that apply (none of the fixes work):
This ONLY happens at work and ONLY with my computer. There are also two Macbook Air, one Macbook Pro Retina, a bunch of PC's, tablets and phones connecting to it, but ONLY I get disconnected. I've tried maintaining a connection with around 10-15 other networks and they all work flawlessly.
There are several wifi spots around.
It disconnects randomly, at times it gets worse around lunch time. It can be 10 times in an hour, then stable for two hours, then one disconnect.
I've tried several router channels.
I have a DIR-655 D-link.
Held Shift+Command+Alt and clicked the power button at startup.
Deleted all other wifispots, the only one is the work one. Tried deleting it and added it again.
Deleted several .plist files, don't remember which ones but Googled and tried it.
Fixed permissions.
Used Onyx (before Maverick update).
Added a network location.
Updated proxys to Google's public ones (8.8.8.8).
Changed MTU.
Restarted computer.
No heavy load.
I've done several changes to the router, none have worked. There's so many I cannot write it down here.
It's NOT WEP, it's WPA2 Personal encryption, something we must maintain since it's secret material being broadcasted.
Everything on my computer is updated to the latest version.
No sleep mode is activated once connected to a power source. Only screen after 15 minutes.
Changing router might work, but that might take a while since the bosses need to approve the purchase.
If I disconnect Airport and then connects again it will work until it randomly disconnects again.
None of my iPad or iPhone disconnects.
It disconnects about 10-100 times daily.
I'm currently trying to ping the router constantly in a hidden terminal window. Hopefully it works even though it ***** as a solution.
That's all I can remember right now... I've tried a lot more without result. But if a suggestions arises I'll let you know if I've tried it before.
Can it be some interference? The microwave isn't on. I have a monitor, external harddrive, Wacom Intuos 5, iPad and an iPhone close to the computer. None of these matter on other spots. None of my co-workers have the same problem. The exact same problem happened in OSX Mountain Lion so it isn't Maverick specific, but I write here because I have no clue where else to put it.
I reason like this: it can't be a hardware malfunction since it doesn't happen anywhere else, it can't be the router either since my co-workers doesn't have the same issue. There's no heavy load since I basically just browse, but I do have Dropbox (I've tried limiting the bandwidth, didn't work) and a NAS and I am a designer so my files are rather large. So, my theory is that there's some sort of load that disconnects me from the router. No other here uses files even close to the size of mines so that is the only unique thing I can come up with, that and my placement. But we are in a big room together so the person of 7 that is furthest away from me is 3 meters. Is there a way to restrict the network load the Macbook uses? Like a cap. I've had this problem with routers before that just overloads routers.
So... any help is very appreciated. It's a drag working like this.

iMac 2011, the same WiFi disconnections problems after Mavericks installation.
I've installed Mavericks on another disk and now I have WiFi disconnections every 30-35 mins. I rebooted to Snow Leopard and tested there and found zero problems. My WiFi WPA-2, 2.4GHz, Edimax router, another home devices doesn't have such a problem. Turn off and turn on the WiFi on iMac resolved the problem but only for another 30 mins. I tried to create another Location settings — the same issue. And it doesn't matter I use WiFi or no — disconnections still here. I run ping to router's IP — it timeouts when WiFi stops to work so it's not DHCP or DNS problem (I've also tried to use static IP — the same result). I don't have 5GHz WiFi so I can't check it. Also I've changed channels on the router — without results.
I\m sure that this is a problem with WiFi drivers on Mavericks.
How can we send such reports to Apple support — they must fix it in nearest Mavericks update!

WiFi keeps disconnecting in Mountain Lion 10.8.2 on Macbook Pro

I have an early i7 2011 Macbook Pro. Since upgrading to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 my WiFi keeps disconnecting. There isn't a certain time it disconnects - sometimes it works fine for a few hours, sometimes for just 10 minutes. When the connection is lost, it shows that its connected in the taskbar at the top, however when going into network preferences it shows the WiFi as turned off. In order to turn it back on I need to restart the Mac.
I have tried the following:
reset SMC
delete network preferences
create new network connection
add DNS servers
Add manual MTU
Require password to turn on/off WiFi / change network (still disconnects!)
Change order of preferred networks
I phoned Apple Care who told me to delete the network preferences, this worked for about 5 mins and then the problem returned!
I cannot change the router settings as I connect to my employers network. All other employees using Window machines are working fine and my iPhone connects perfectly fine also.
Somebody please help me! I feel my only option now would to do a clean install - not ideal! Apple, please HELP.
Merry Christmas everyone.

Hi - I have the same problem with my MacBook Pro mid 2010 which drops the wifi connection randomly (not necessarily when I move it or the lid - see other posts on this) and then often ends up freezing when I try to investigate.
I installed Mavericks to see if that would resolve the issue but it doesn't.
Somebody in one of these posts suggested it might be a faulty connection between airport card and mother board... which I suppose could be caused by a jolt to the machine (mine travels as hand luggage on planes every now and then).
I am running OS X 10.9 on a 13 inch Mid 2010 MBP with a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and 4 GB 1067MHz DDR3 memory.
If anyone comes up with an answer to this PLEASE post it here so that we can all resolve our wifi dropping/freezing issues!
Thanks

Hi. My wifi keeps disconnecting. I keep turning the wifi on and off in settings but will disconnect again after a minute or so. I use an ipad2 and my ios is updated. How to troubleshoot? - kay peralta

Is this happening with one particular network or with all? Make sure iOS is updated on the device.
Try this:
Reboot ipad by pressing and holding both the home and sleep/wake buttons at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go. Then try to connect to network.
Go to settings, Toggle airplane mode on/off. Make sure bluetooth is off. Turn on wif (airplane mode off). Try to connect.
Reset Network Settings
Go to settings/general/reset/reset network settings. Then try to connect to network.
If its your home router, then reboot router by unplugging for 5-10min. (do this while you're resetting network settings).
If problem persists, then check for firmware updates on your router.(you check router manufacturer support website for downloads and instructions).

Why does the wifi keep disconnecting on the Macbook Air (Bought September 2013) ?

Is this only my MacBook Air, or is it with everyones. The wifi keeps getting disconnected and i would have to switch off and then switch on the wifi in order to reconnect.

Hi Ettedos,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you're seeing unexpected behavior on your MacBook Air.
I'd recommend starting with the Wireless Diagnostic built into Mavericks:
OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.4 or later
Use the Wireless Diagnostics application included with OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.4 and later to identify and resolve Wi-Fi issues. For further information, please see About Wireless Diagnostics.

Why does my 4s with ios7 wifi keep disconnecting/reconnecting?

why does my 4s with ios7 wifi keep disconnecting/reconnecting?

Same problem here. It just keeps connecting/disconnecting indefinitely. This does not started immediately after IO7 upgrade and it does not happen all the time. Sometimes it does it, sometimes not. Very frustrating. So far no solution found.

Force the phone into recovery mode, as described here, & restore it as a new device:

As Kneil31, said,it appears that your router is setup to prohibit connecting to the internt at times specified in the router setup.

My Ipod keeps saying "Do not disconnect" and the update ipod is not working

Hi,
I just got my ipod nano a couple of days ago and after loading the itunes and then plugging in the ipod i unplugged it when it said do not disconnect without thinking. Now when i plug in my nano it keeps saying do not disconnect and although the ipod symbol appears on the itunes, no instructions have popped up to explain how the music transfers even though it says it in the booklet and when i click file the update ipod button isn't clickable. I'm just wondering if there's anything i could do

Welcome to the discussions.

Thank you very much, i read the link on the manual and my preference was set to manually manage songs and after reading it i was able to put a couple of songs on to the ipod which is a lot better than where i was about an hour ago lol
Thank you

Ipod nano will not work - keeps saying I cannot disconnect,

I downloaded the I pod Updater 6-28-06. when I connected my ipod nano, the updater came up and stated that my ipod needed updating, so I hit the update button. After forever, nothing happened, but my ipod no longer works and all my music was erased from it. My ipod keeps saying not to disconnect, but I tunes does not even register that the ipod is connected.
How do I fix this problem?

That is a pretty good sign that the battery is shot and in need of replacement. You can have Apple replace the battery for a flat fee, sending it a third party repair company to have them swap it out for a little less, or you can even purchase a replacement battery and change it out yourself using one of the numerous guides found online.

The wifi has been lost or disconnected on my iPad. It's the iPad 2 and has not been updated yet. It's IOS 6.1.3 .. how do I add a network back onto it? I have typed in the name and chosen each of the securities and still hasn't connected!

Hey there Luba_kalstad,
It sounds like you are unable to join your network and cannot see it in the Wi-Fi list in Settings. I would try the troubleshooting outlined in this article named:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398
Be sure you're in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your Wi-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and connected to the Internet. If not, refer to your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for assistance.
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
Tap and Forget this Network.
Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
Update your device to the latest version of software.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
And this section down toward the bottom if needed:
Unable to locate a Wi-Fi network
Verify that the network is available by tapping Settings > Wi-Fi and choosing from the available networks.Note: It may take a few seconds for the Wi-Fi network name to appear.
Move closer to your wireless router (access point) and attempt to locate the Wi-Fi network.
If you do not see the network you would like to join, you may be attempting to connect to a hidden network. Learn how to join a hidden network.
Supported Wi-Fi configurations vary by iOS device model. Find out which standards your device supports3.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

My 1st generation Time Capsule/2007 keeps shutting off and disconnecting from internet? What could be the problem? How long do the Time Capsules usually last?

My 1st generation Time Capsule/2007 keeps shutting off and disconnecting from internet? What could be the problem? How long do the Time Capsules usually last?

That it is still working is miraclous.. most have died.. lots started flaking out at 18months to 2years..
See deadtimecapsule.org
The few that remained now seem to have reached EOL.. you can repair if you have some skills.. fairly cheaply.
But it is well and truly time to replace.

Catch client disconnect without sending data?

I am writing a Java Servlet and I need to know if the client has disconnected (pushed the stop button, closed the browser, etc) without sending data. Basically, I need to call socket.isOutputShutdown() on the connected socket. However, the Java Servlet interface does not provide access to the socket, only the socket's output stream. In the book Java Servlet Programming (2nd edition) by Jason Hunter, page 159 suggests attempting to write a single space and then catching the resulting error. This works fine for HTML, but my servlet is not guaranteed to be sending HTML. It could be sending a file, in which case miscellaneous "ping" spaces would corrupt it.
Is there a way to check if the client has disconnected without sending "ping" data from a servlet?
Thanks,
Nathan Lewis
P.S. I thought I posted this a couple days ago, but I can't find it now.

This appears to be very close, but I don't think it'll work. I want to know if/when the client hits the stop button on their browser (or otherwise closes the TCP socket). The Unbound event only occurs if:
1. The session times out
2. The user reloads the page. (Then Unbound is immediately followed by a Bound event)
However, an Unbound event doesn't seem to be occuring if the user hits stop. It doesn't occur until the session times out. If I set the session timeout interval to something short, the Unbound even is occuring even though the client is still connected! This happens with the servlet container I'm using, as well as TomCat 3.3.

Can anyone help me keep wifi off on my S5? Since the last update my wifi keeps turning on without input from me. I have unlimited data and don't use the wifi much to extend the battery but this is killing it now.
