Wifi signal dropped

My iPad 2 looses connection with our Belkin router after going to sleep.  Is this the iPad or router that is causing this?
Thanks

Okay, I tried reinstalling OS X and it didn't solve my networking problem. However, something really weird came up. Another discussion site suggested that I try increasing the signal strength via a product from Quickertek. I contacted the company and they suggested to download iStumbler to test how much of the wifi signal my eMac is receiving. If it is 30% or less, he said, than I should consider buying their product. Well, not only did iStumbler indicate that I was receiving up to 70% of the complex's wifi signal, I was able to connect to the internet! Hallelujah!!! My computer would still drop the signal, but only after about 2 hours or so. Much, much longer than before. Not perfect, but acceptable. Everything was going okay until I followed the advice of another person on a discussion site which was to use Disk Utility and make sure everything was okay. I fired up Disk Utility and had it repair permission. Big mistake. It made many permissions corrections, but I am now unable to connect to the internet at all. It doesn't make sense to me that repairing permissions would cause this. But, all I can tell you now is that no matter what I try, I am unable to connect to the internet. My eMac is also unable to pick up ANY wifi signals from anywhere, even from my own DSL modem which is only eight feet away. I've tried Network Utility, reconfiguring the machine, and I've run out of ideas. Suggestions?

  • IPhone 6 freezing after WiFi signal drops

    Anyone else having recurring OS freezing and hanging problems after a sudden WiFi signal drop?
    The phone seems fine on WiFi for a period of time, sometime hours, sometimes days but then all of a sudden the signal strength drops to one and everything goes crazy.  Trying to turnoff WiFi from the control center doesn't have any effect (it looks like it's off but the wifi indicator remains on).  If I try an go into the settings app, it comes up as a blank white page and hangs.  Sometimes I can go back to the home screen, sometimes not but the phone will freeze up solid or eventually reboot.  If it reboots or I do a hard reset the wifi switch is grayed out and can not be enabled.
    If I perform another hard reset the wifi switch will sometimes be accessible again but the phone seem unstable.  It will reboot randomly or simply freeze up.  The last time it froze on the apple boot screen and I had to put the phone into recovery mode to restore it. 
    I have iOS 8.1.1 installed and have done a dozen hard resets and restored as a new phone from iTunes twice in the past week.  It's driving me nuts because the phone just seems unstable.

    I have reset the modem everytime this happened. That is why I believe this could be a software problem between iOS 8 or iPhone 6 wifi and the band in which the airport express communicates.
    Today I have disabled the airport express and began using the wifi from the HUB of my internet provider. So far no drops on wifi signal no freezing, no crashing. Connectivity seems much faster and clean now. Lets hope it keeps this way.

  • Help: wifi signal dropping completely

    I connect online with my Mac mini via wifi. About two weeks ago the pages in Safari wouldn't load, with the load bar filling only partially, this after browsing maybe 10-15 minutes. I would disconnect the wifi then connect again, and everything would be okay, for about another 10-15 minutes.
    I thought it could be two things, my ISP or my wifi. I did speed tests, though while sometimes slower than what I am paying for, not slow enough to not load webpages. So I got an application to monitor my wifi connection, as well as all available signals to see if there was any interference, and sure enough for whatever reason my Mac mini would just competely stop picking up any signal at all. That includes other signals in my area.
    Again, if I disconnect then connect again, it will start picking up signals again. Not a big deal, just kind of annoying.
    Any ideas what might be causing this? And more importantly, anything I can do to maintain the connection without it dropping off?

    Okay so, same thing is happening with my iPod Touch, so the problem is either with my ISP or the wifi signal.
    I can monitor the wifi, and am getting a signal strength pretty consistently at 70% with noise that fluctuates anywhere from under 10% all the way up to 50%. Thing is, I'm noticing that when pages won't load there isn't always an indication that it's the wifi signal, unless there is something interfering that I'm not seeing.
    Probably just going to have to call my ISP and see if they can help.

  • Wifi signal drops to two bars for no apparent reason

    Possibly since the last Apple system upgrade, the Airport signal to my Airport Extreme just drops down to two or three bars often, sometimes off, for no apparent reason.
    My set up is
    imac Intel (n) ->
    Airport Extreme Base Station (n) ->
    Printer (wifi) and modem (ethernet)
    The connection was very bad when we bought the airport, eventually we had it replaced, it was then mostly OK, recently it's started acting up again.
    I have tried turning off the computer and Base Station and modem and printer and restarting. Doesn't help. Right now it's just jumped up to 5 bars again. Neither computer nor base station ever move. The base station is one room away (about 9m). There is no change in the obstacles between the computer and the base station. The temperature of the airport card, according to istat pro, is 66°C - the weather is hot here.
    To get the replacement from Apple last time, we had to spend about ten hours on the phone, repeating the problem over and over again, resetting the Airport countless times, creating new accounts, and even reinstalling the system (none of which helped).
    So I was wondering if this is a known problem, or if anyone had any solutions to offer other than obvious resetting of the base station etc.
    Many thanks for your help - this is a wonderful machine but an annoying problem.
    Alexia
    Wireless Card Type: AirPort Extreme (0x14E4, 0x88)
    Wireless Card Locale: Worldwide
    Wireless Card Firmware Version: Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 (4.170.46.7)
    Airport model number: A1143
    Serial number: 6F7.........EW

    Hi Brandon - thanks for the suggestion!
    Funnily enough - ever since writing that message the Airport has been on 5 bars continuously ! I simply have no idea why - unless there was some kind of delayed action of a few hours after restarting everything…
    Anyway, I had a look at Airport Utility out of interest - I am on 100% and 2MB. Should I be on 5.5 or 11 MB ?
    Also a screen came up saying there was a firmware update available, and then a second one. So I updated - so far so good - maybe that was somehow blocking things ?

  • Ipad 2 signal dropping after visit to genius bar??

    How is that possible.  I was concerned about the bleeding that I never addressed and now my wifi signal drops.  I've tried to restore, turn off wifi, change to airplane mode and

    Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    Then restart your iPad>    Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    BTW, Airplane Mode disables Wi-Fi >  iOS: Understanding airplane mode
    If nothing above helped try here >  Apple - Support - iPad - Wi-Fi

  • Wifi connection drops on all apple devices

    I have a linksys WRT120N router that i use to access the internet from (usually) a desktop, 3 laptops, 2 iPhones, 2 iPod Touches, an iPad, and a Playstation 3.
    I have absolutely no problems connecting to the internet from any of the computers (all PCs) or the PS3. On all of the Apple products, however, the wifi signal drops every 15 seconds or so. It will be working fine, then all of a sudden the signal will just be gone and I have to go into the wireless settings page and reselect our wifi network to reaccess it.
    The router is fully up to date on the firmware and is relatively new. Anyone have any possible fixes?

    This is what i hate ive already posted 2 disscusions about this and its falling on deaf ears.
    i have apple tv, ipods, iphone 3gs and 4. imac and Ipad 1 and 2 using my wireless router supplied from Virgin Media.   its 50meg broadband with the super hub.
    before i get a smart arse reply............i had the same issue with Skys crappy broadband router........so its obvious its an issue with apples software/hardware.

  • Signals drop on iPhone 5s iOS 8.1 both wifi and network

    I am having the following problems since i updated to iOS 8.1 on my iPhone 5s 16GB model A1533 :
    1- My network signals drop to 3 dots and sometimes to 2 and stay there.
    2- Sometimes my wifi disconnects itself on my iphone for almost 4 or 5 seconds
    3- My battery is draining faster that ever. I turned off the use of fingerprint and found it useful but still my iphone consumes a lot of battery. I get my battery percentage dropped to 80% from 100% in just 20minutes of whatsapp usage. My fone's vibration is never on. Location services all off except find my iphone. Background app refresh also off. I tried everything. Erase all settings, hard reset etc. NO USE
    4- Playing games is really difficult. Battery drains very fast.
    I did not have these problems on 7.1.2. Need help
    Regards,
    Ahmad

    I understand that but I hope that people from Apple will be referring to the support groups and may actually think about that last paragraph.

  • Dropped wifi signal

    I live at an apartment complex that provides wireless internet connection. I've moved to another unit in the same complex and now, instead of having the internet antenna only 20 feet from my computer, it is now about 40 YARDS from my eMac. What is frustrating is to be browsing the 'net only to have the signal dropped all of a sudden with my eMac telling my that I am not connected to the internet. It usually doesn't reconnect after restarting the machine and it sometimes reconnects after I put my eMac to sleep for around 4 or 5 hours. Would it help to boost the wifi signal by purchasing an external antenna? If so, where on my eMac would I connect the antenna? If an external antenna is not the solution, does anyone have any other suggestions to solve my problem? I also recently had Elgato's EyeTV200 installed and I'm wondering if it is part my signal dropping problem. Comments? Suggestions? Thank you to all who respond!

  • IPhone makes my wifi router drop it's signal

    When I drain my iPhone completly & plug it in to charge (USB wall charger not USB port on laptop), after the 5-10 mins with the red lightening screen when the phone comes back on my wifi router drops it's signal, this has been happening for a while now so I got into the habit of turning wifi off on iPhone just before it was due to completly die so when it came back on the router didn't drop it's signal & it wasn't that much of a problem doing this once a week.
    However things are getting worse now, if I leave my house & my wifi is on, when I return home it's doing the same thing & making the router drop out. I can't be messing around turning wifi on & off everytime I return home.
    I have also just had to reset my iPhone & once again when it turned back on the router dropped out.
    Anyone any idea why it's doing this & how to stop it other than turning wifi on & off?

    Thanks for that, just checked & I'm running the latest firmware version already
    for info it's a Belkin wireless G plus router, model number FSD7231-4 version 1212uk

  • 3Gs Wifi cuts out when cell signal drops out

    I recently received a new 3Gs from Applecare with firmware 3.1.3. My previous 3Gs was running 3.1.2. I have terrible cell signal in my basement. It usually bounces between 1 bar and no signal. Since receiving my new 3Gs, the wifi signal would drop and come back when the cell signal goes from 1 bar to no signal. It also does this when it goes from no signal to 1 bar. I never noticed this on my previous phone with 3.1.2 firmware. I only noticed this since it interrupts my pod cast streams. I also noticed that when the wifi signal cuts out, the iphone locks up momentarily (can't do anything on the touchscreen). Has anyone else noticed this? Hardware or firmware issue? BTW, restoring to a fresh setup doesn't seem to help.

    In case someone ends up having the same problem, I suspected a faulty cell radio in my iPhone. The local Apple store swapped out the phone. They also suspected it having the same problem.
    This is now my FOURTH iPhone 3GS. (#1 bad accelerometer, #2 scratched LCD & bad cell radio / GPS chip, #3 bad cell radio). I hope this one does better.
    What's happened to the quality of these phones? My 1st gen iPhone had Zero problems. It was chipped and banged up quite a bit, but still worked like a champ.

  • Linksys WRT330N with Intel Wifi 5100 AGN causing signal drops.

    I have been using my Linksys WRT330N for quite a while, and it has been wonderful.  I have 3 pcs, 2 wired and 1 wireless.  The wireless laptop died and was replaced.  The replacement is causing problems and I need assistance finding a solution.  The new laptop is a Dell Inspiron 1545 and it has an Intel Wifi Wireless AGN internal wireless adapter.  My two wired pc's can surf the net without the slightest hicup until the wireless laptop with its wireless N card gets into the action.  Once the laptop gets on, the hicups are frequent.

    As you can see the signal drops show as the router resetting.  It was not me unplugging it.  The router as the only firmware which is available, v1.00.4 and the network drivers for the laptop's wireless wifi 5100 card are up to date.  A Dell technitian controlled my laptop and did it himself.
    Any suggestions?

    and this is what happens when i try to watch a video on hulu.com

  • Dropped WiFi signal, with a twist.

    So I've read some earlier posts about Macs running SL dropping Wifi signal, which is consistent with the problems I am experiencing. Ever since I upgraded to SL, wifi signal has been dropping intermittently, maybe about 5 times a day. Running 10.5, these problems never occured.
    The twist is, my entire network shuts down. Even PC's connected to the network drop their signal. I have to wait maybe about 30-60 seconds for the network to come back up. I know it's a far stretch to assume an operating system is causing my router to somehow shut off its signal, but the timing of upgrading to SL and having these problems is uncanny.
    I have already called Linksys tech support and they instructed me to upgrade the firmware (I have the WRT54G V2 router, which is only about 1.5 years old, so I doubt the router has gone bad). At first I thought this did the trick, but the problems came back, although with less frequency, which is good. But it's still annoying!
    Any help or incite is helpful.

    Hey Nvius,
    I have kind of the same problem, even in other then my own, wifi environments, i cause the whole network to crash. i tested this several times at a friends house. When i start my macbook and connect to the wifirouter, all other wifi clients loose their entire bandwidth. They stay connected to the rooter, excellent signal strength but impossible to access a site or even connect to the routers setup page.
    Did you find a solution for your problem?
    thnx,
    B

  • My ipad keeps dropping my home network wifi signal, what is the problem?

    My ipad, iphone and apple tv all keep dropping the wifi signal from our wireless router, i have tried two different router and had our isp here to try to fix the problem with no success, what can be done?

    I have an IPad 1 that is dropping the connection multiple times a day.  There are multiple other devices in the house; 4 iPhones, pc and dell laptops, an IPad 2, etc. and they never drop.  Could it be that these devices are not intended to last past two years?  I am going to go to a factory reset.

  • IPad 2 keeps dropping wifi signal

    Hi all, I'm hoping someone can help with a very frustrating problem.
    I have an iPad 2, running iOS 6.1.2 (10B146). My home wifi network is provided by BT Infinity (I'm in the UK), via a BT Home Hub 3. Very frustratingly, my iPad is dropping my internet connection, frequently but seemingly randomly.
    The wifi is stable for all other devices (iPhone and laptop), I never experience drop outs with either of those devices.
    I've tried re-booting my router, but this hasn't helped. On my iPad I've tried Resetting Network Settings, but the problem persists.
    When I lose my internet connection, I don't actually lose my wifi signal, the wifi icon remains in the top left corner, and the correct wifi network is still 'ticked' under my wifi settings. The only way to restore my internet connect is to turn my wifi off and on again, this solves the problem until the next disconnection.
    It's driving me mad at the moment. My ipad appears to be fine when connecting to other wifi networks, which led me to think it's a problem with my router. But the fact my other devices are not dropping connection leads me to think it's a problem with the iPad.
    In my wifi settings on the iPad I'm using DHCP, no HTTP proxy.
    Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

    How will changing ISP fix a wireless problem? There will still be the same number of interfering channels.
    If you think the problem is related to the home hub, then simply add a separate cheap wireless access point, that is what other people do.
    You can also use a different router if you wish.
