WiFi stops working after every update on iMac

I am hoping someone can help me out with this.  After several months of trying to figure out what was causing the issue I have finally been able to figure it out and reproduce it.  This problem is that after each and every update from Apple on my 2012 iMac, it breaks my wifi for every other device (macbook pro, iphone 5, ipad 3, ps3, dvd, etc).  The network still shows, but no device can connect to it.  The only one that will remain connected is the iMac (no ethernet cables used).  In order to fix it I have to press and hold the reset button on the modem/router.  Going into the router/modem and resetting the wifi, modules, router, etc does not fix the problem.  Once I hold the reset button down and reboot the modem/router all is fine until I do any other update from Apple (or the Apps Store).  Has anyone else encountered this or know of a fix (or even somethign to test)?  Both the macbook pro and the imac are running Mountain Lion, all other devices are up to date as well.  This is beyond frustrating! 
Thanks!

  • My wifi stopped working after a update last year and I have updated since, can this be fixe

    MMy wi fi stopped working after a update early last year and I have just made do since then by using i pad at home. I was going to upgrade my phone but need to clarify if it was the upgrade that broke my wifi and can it be fixed? I have heaed of Apple replacing phones affected by this problem. Please help

    If those solutions don't work your iPhone 4s has developed a hardware problem. The permanent solution is to get it replaced. I have not heard of Apple replacing long out of warranty iPhones.
    You can search the internet for heating and freezing solutions that might work (at least for a while).

  • WiFi stops working after install of latest 10.8.5 update on MacBook 5,1 third time reinstall OS X

    WiFi stops working after install of latest 10.8.5 update on MacBook 5,1 third time reinstall OS.
    MB used as email and surfing tool when on vacation. Worked fine for months. Installed the latest security patch (update) and WiFi quit working. Two days later (still on vacation) WiFi started working again and worked fine for the next 2 days.
    Came home and formatted and reinstalled 10.8.5 and all was fine again. We are selling the MacBook and setup new user, everything worked fine.
    The update came up again so I decided to install it and WiFi instantly stopped working after the restart.
    Does anybody have any idea what is happening.
    Thanks

    Not really, although WiFi has been a longstanding problem for lots of people. I fix for some breaks others.
    However, if you are trying to sell it, you need to revert it back to the OS that shipped with it. You cannot sell your copy of Mountain Lion with the Mac. It is only licensed to you.
    You also need to include the system disks that came with the Mac. If it came with Leopard (10.5), and you have a Snow Leopard (10.6) disk, you can install that if you provide that disk also.

  • WIFI stopped working after I woke the computer up, now says connected to the network but not the internet, all other coputers and devices connected still with no problems, have pinged IP address from router and got the message "4 packets sent none receive

    Hi,
    WIFI stopped working after I woke the computer up, now says connected to the network but not the internet, all other coputers and devices connected still with no problems, have pinged IP address from router and got the message "4 packets sent none received"... Help
    I have tried network diagnostics which doesnt help... The only other ting is, when I woke the computer up it said tat another device was using my IP... My wife had plugged her phone into the computer to charge etc but even when i turn wifi off on the phone there is no change... also in settings on the phone the IP address is different...

    The answer to your question is - neither!
    Your PC should to configured to obtain an IP address automatically, and to obtain DNS server IP addresses automatically, from the Airport Express. This is the way Windows (and Macs for that matter) are configued by default, and that is the way most people have their computers set up. If you manually configured your PC's IP address to be the same as your wife's Mac, it certainly explains why your PC is not able to access the internet.

  • BoardMaker plus 6 stopped working after OS update

    My Boardmaker Plus stopped working after I update my system to OSi Yosemite.  The disk just spins and spins and the program does not come up?  Is anyone else having this problem?  How can I fix it.  I need to use the program for work.

    I was worried about this, I still haven't upgraded. But while doing research I saw that there is now an online version, I wonder if it's the same ...

  • Upgraded to Windows 10: Wifi Stops Working after about 20 minutes operation

    Upgraded to windows 10. Everything was working fine. Then WIFI stops working. I reboot and again, things are fine then as the computer goes to sleep, WiFi stops working and won't reconnect unless I reboot. All other computers in the house using either Windows 7 or 8.1 are connecting just fine. Need some help or I'll roll back to 8.1. This is frustrating to say the least.  

    I have a HP pavilion X2 (10-j000na) which I have upgraded to Windows 10 and I have the same issue. Every so often the wifi signal is lost. When I go to the device manager it says there is an error with the driver for the Broadcom 802.11 abgn Wireless SDIO adapter. The only way to resolve this issue at the moment is to uninstall the driver and then re-installing it using the latest Windows 8 driver (sp68594.exe) in compatability mode for Windows 8.
    But even then it is only a matter of time before the driver corrupts again and needs re-installing. We need an updated driver for Windows 10 and fast!

  • My Ipod touch email stopped working after installing Update

    my Ipod touch email stopped working after installing the latest firmware update from Apple what should I do?

    Hi, jewlssch. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If the Mail application will not launch, I would recommend processing any available updates on your Mac Pro and test launching Mail.  If the issue persists, process a reinstall of Mavericks.
    Reinstall OS X
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10763
    Make sure to backup all of your data prior to reinstalling OS X 10.9.
    Back up your Mac

  • HT4650 My keyboard has stopped working after an update of Flash Player.  Help! What can I do?

    Why has my keyboard stopped working after Flash Player update?

    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    Do things work in Safe Mode?

  • Wifi stopped working after upgrade, Asus N13

    Hi,
    A couple of days ago my wireless stopped working after I ran a full upgrade.  I have tried to identify the problem to no avail.  I attempted to use the Ralink drivers for my chipset rt3072 but those worked very poorly compared to the rt2800usb driver in the kernel and it kept freezing my system.

    I tried using wireshark in monitor mode on another computer to capture the exchange for authentication.  I can see my computer request authentication and I can see the router reply back.  The reply is an authentication successful message, but then my computer immediately tries to authenticate again.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    I have the same device and a similar issue.
    Connection works but pinging the router shows extremely high ping (over 3000ms) and high packet loss, especially when the network is under load.
    The connection drop randomly and wont reconnect until I manualy unplug and replug the usb device.
    Downgrading the kernel fixed the problem.
    Which kernel version did you downgrade to?
    I also have the same device at home and I might face the same problem when I go back home next month.

  • Satellite A105 Shift Keys stop working after BIOS update

    I have a stack of laptop boards from the A105 series (Intel chipset) that I received with bad BIOS's. Two worked, and I updated the BIOS's on them to fix CPU compatibility issues. After that, the shift keys stopped working, and pressing Shift-A causes the power light to dim. Reverting to ANY previous version BIOS, whether through the Windows program, CD, or Crisis Recovery floppy (magic key is "F", not "B", "Esc", or "U"), does not fix the keyboard problem.
    To make things more confusing, I did notice that the one single BIOS that seems to actually correct the problem is version 1.50, which I haven't seen available for any Tecra A7 or Satellite A100/A105, except a couple A100's, but the BIOS file is much too small and can't be loaded.
    Does anyone have any idea why these Intel-based boards are doing this? Or does anyone know where I can get a usable version 1.50 BIOS?
    For the sake of this post, please consider my skill level to be high. (In other words, I would be thankful for people trying to help with "Replace the keyboard", but I have about a dozen keyboards, all of which I have tried, and all of which work on other laptops. Additionally, if you have just a theoretical solution, I'm definitely open to hearing it. Also, if a Toshiba tech would like to reply, I would very much appreciate it!)

    Hi, thank you for your help.
    Some motherboards were not in chassis when I got them. Is there a place the PSAAxx model number would be written on the boards?
    Four PSAA8U (Two A105-S4334 and Two A105-S4014) - Intel Chipset, fingerprint reader. Tried BIOS Versions 1.40, 1.70, 2.00, 5.10, 5.60, 5.90, and 6.00. Shift keys do not work on either one.
    Two PSAA2U (A105-S2091 and A105-S2031) - ATi Chipset. BIOS versions 1.50, 1.80, and 2.30. Keyboard works.
    Another PSAA8U (A105-S4184) - Intel Chipset, no fingerprint reader. BIOS version 6.00. Keyboard works.
    I noticed that so far all of the models with fingerprint readers have the problem. All of the ATi Chipset boards are working fine, but they have significant processor limits. I am in the middle of updating the BIOS in another Intel one using a Crisis Rescue Disc, so after that finishes I will try disconnecting the fingerprint reader to see if it has an effect.
    I don't think the keyboard controller is faulty, because these boards all failed on the same day. I have tried updating the BIOS using WinPhlash, Phlash16 in DOS, the install CD, and a Crisis Recovery Disk. I set the defaults in the BIOS almost every time, and I also have tried holding the power button for 60 seconds with the power cord unplugged and the battery removed (as some people have suggested.)
    The shift keys don't work in DOS, Linux, Windows, or even in the BIOS. I test it in the BIOS by using Tab to cycle through the fields in time of day, then Shift-Tab to cycle backwards. This works with a USB keyboard, and it also works on the ATi chipset models and the Intel chipset models that are still working.
    Thank you for your reply. (-:

  • C7 Wifi not working after Anna update

    Hello friends,
    I have a Nokia C7. Although some minor issues were their, my phone had been working fine since I bought it. However, last month I got the Latest Symbian Anna update on my phone. After that, my phone's wifi has stopped working completely. It does not even detect any wlan connections that are available.
    Also, there are problems with the phone's music player which keeps hanging after short instances.
    I have reinstalled the os once but that did not help at all.
    I would surely be very glad if someone could help me solve my phone's wifi problem.
    Thank you.

    Reset the C7. Dial *#7370# reformat, you'll lose all data. Make a backup first and restore without the settings.
