Will wifi connectivity be lost in power nap mode?

Tried switching to power nap mode while updating software...but it looses wifi connectivity.
Does it work only with ethernet connenctions?

You should be able to download updates from the Mac App Store via Ethernet or Wi-Fi.

Since upgrading to ios6, all the family's apple devices (new ipad, 2 iphone4 & itouch) are having difficulty reconnecting to the home hub wifi network. I.e, every time the lock screen comes on, the wifi connection is lost when you reopen the device and we have to reconnect through settings. This appears to be an ios6 software issue.
Is there a solution to this wifi connection issue or do we wait for a software fix?
I'd hate to think Apple is going down the Microsoft path, of passing untested software onto the user. What ever happened to Regression Testing, to ensure the existing functionality remains intact?
I bought into the Apple dream, because it was intuitive, reliable & enjoyable to use, all the things that Microsoft windows isn't.
Other issues we are experiencing are, Games are stuttering and the kids really miss the old YouTube app.
Please Mr Browett, sort these issues out.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. 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.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
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
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

YouTube is not now part of iOS 6.
However, you can go to the App Store and do a search using YouTube. You can download several YouTube apps: YouTube (for the iPhone, a IPad app is in work), several users like Jasmine and YouPlayer.

How do i wake up a mac book air when in power nap mode?

Simply hitting a key doesn't work to wake up my macbook air when it is in the power nap mode. When the screen is dim, moving the touchpad or clicking any key works great, when the power nap kicks in, its a pain to wake up.

Welcome to Apple Discussions
You can disable power nap from System Preferences:Energy Saver.

I just installed IOS6 and wifi connection get lost

After installation of ios6 wifi connection is not stable pop up the alogin page to apple.com with an error message of wrong address. This happen on my ipad 3 and iphone 4s both devices.

Try going to settings-general-reset and then reset all settings. You can also try to reboot your phone/ipad hold the power and home button together for ten seconds until the Apple logo shows up on screen.

Unreliable WiFi connections when on battery power

I've had my MBP for 2 weeks. It worked flawlesly for the first 10 days. Since then, when running on battery power, my WiFi connection drops repeatedly, and at random intervals. Signal strength is good always (on a/c pwr or batt) and I am always able to reconnect via the menu bar by re-selecting my network.
I believe that this started happening after the latest updates were downloaded and installed.
Again, this only happens when running on battery power...
Any ideas?

This is an issue that has appeared in many threads. It looks like OS X Tiger has a driver issue with certain wireless APs - something related to power management.
In my case, I had no trouble with my Netgear AP but when I recently switched to a Linksys running DD-WRT open source software, I would drop my connection on battery every 2 minutes or so.
Same computer using Windows has no drops. I have not seen any press that Apple has admitted to the issue.
Until then, use the workaround that has been suggested. Run the Cococonut Wifi. This is a menu-bar utility that shows a count of open APs in the area. However, the side-effect is to keep the wireless driver open and stop the disconnects. It worked for me. The URL is: http://coconut-flavour.com/coconutwifi/index.html

HT1595 Why does my wifi connection is lost in apple TV after a few minutes?

I have tried giving apple tv a static ip but the connection is lost after a few minutes and does not come back. I have tried re-booting the router as well as ATV!

I have this same problem, and apple said that it has to do with the router closing the ports so you have to call whoever makes your router and have them help you port forward. I did this and it helped for a couple months, then back to the same ol' same ol'.

Wifi connectivity is lost after 12 hours on 32RL938

Hi all,
I'm experiencing a very strange and annoying issues on my 32RL938 regarind wifi connection.
I set up the TV and connect it to my home wifi network and everything is just fine four about 12-15 hours.
After leaving the TV in standby mode for some time (lets say during the night) when I start It again I realize that although my tv says its connected to my local WIFI theres no access to Toshiba Places or Network DLNA player.
Also the Network connection test fails.
If I check on the router the TV has a valid IP and looks connected, but any ping test to its ip fails.
The only workaround I managed to identify to this issue is to reboot the router.
After reboot the TV connects fine to my network and I can access Internet on it.
What is very strange is that in my home I have 6 other wi-fi devices (laptop, android phone, printer, tablet etc) that work perfectly fine while my TV shows it has no connection.
Because the ruter is not in my room its quite hard to reboot it every day.
Please let me know If you experience this kind of behavior and what could I do to fix it. I also tried with static and dynamic ip for the TV but the behavior is the same.

Hi Tony,
Thanks for reply.
This is what I also suspected. So I connected the TV to another WIFI. I live in a campus so I have plenty of wifi networks available from my neighbors. I asked the pass from one of the neighbors and connected the TV.
The TV worked OK last night but this morning it doesnt even connect to the WIFI network although the WIFI signal is fine, so I think it might be something wrong with the TVs embedded WIFI interface.
Unfortunately Toshiba doesnt have a firmware upgrade for this model yet. This is a Tv marketed in the second half of 2012 and they dont have any firmware update.
After comparing this TV with others from my friends I tend to believe that Toshiba tv firmware is full of bugs and ages behind the other manufacturers.

After recent update to airport on iMac, the wifi connection is lost when it goes to sleep and requires turning off wifi and turning it on to reestablish contact.

After recent update to OS on iMac, communication to airport is lost when computer goes to sleep. To reestablish connection, I need to turn wifi off then on.

same problem here.
i have a time capsule.
symptoms:
excessively searching for network
but more often than not, it cant find the correct netowrk that is correctly stored in keychain
if i try network assistant opened through safari not finding its page, then it can find the right network after i enter in the password again. it connects. but only for a few seconds then it loses the connection again.
the only fool proof workaround for me is:
1/ shut down time capsule. restart time capsule.
2/ restart mac with airport turned off.
3/ after restart manually select the network from the wireless icon in the menu bar
airport utility is a complete waste of time
old airport utility is still better.

Broadband Wifi Connection drops several times a da...

Hello,
This is my first post in the Broadband forum.
I have had BT broadband for at least the last 7 years and the last couple of years I have found that my wifi connection is lost, and is only resolved by resetting the router.
We got rid of our desktop for space reasons so only connect via Wifi (laptop, mobile phones). Our BT Vision box is hard-wired to the router via the ehternet cable.
I've spoke to BT customer service in the past and they have fobbed me off by telling me that there was work carried out on my line but that it should all be resolved now.
The problem keeps persisting though and I am beginning to think it is down to the age of my router. I've had the same BT Homehub for probably 4 of 5 years.
Would be very appreciative if a mod could investigate this for me or advise me in my best course of action.
THanks
Marc

wifi problems are up to the customer to solve -
you can try downloading inssider3 (istumbler if MAC) and then run it. This will show the broadcasting networks round about you and their channels including your own. If you then enter your router and change your wireless channel to a free or less congested channel.
if your contract is due for renewal you can try asking for a new hub and may only have to pay the postage costs - and possibly reduce your monthly cost with good negotiation

What determines if a program is active during Power Nap?

After updating to 10.8.2, I noticed that my 2011 MBA was logging onto all my chat services for a few minutes every hour via Adium. I assume this must be because the MBA is waking up into "Power Nap" mode. I thought that only certain programs were allowed to be active in that mode, and I can't understand why Adium would be one of them. Since this only seems to have started with 10.8.2, could it be a new bug?

Are you sure your Mac is in sleep mode? Maybe it couldn't get into sleep mode and fans are working hardly because the lid is closed. Try to close all apps and put it in sleep mode, and see if fans turn on.
If so, and as you have a new Mac, return it and you will get a new one for free or you will get the one you have repaired. The new one should have that issue fixed

VZaccess Manager changes WiFi connections to manually connect from automatic

VZaccess Manager changes WiFi connections to manually connect from automatic.
I have Panasonic CF-19s with VZaccess manager installed with a NDIS connection that automatically connects to Cellular service. I need my WiFI connections to also connect when available and have them set to automatically connect and managed by Windows (WiFi connection in accessmanager is set to None). When I first configure it, it works fine and we use Netmotion to decide which connection to use. After exiting VZaccess manager and restarting it, it changes my WiFi connections to "manually connect" even though accessmanager is not managing it. As soon as I exit out of Accessmanager the connections are changed back to "automatically connect". I need both connections to be active at the same time so the switchover to cellular is immediate when the WiFi connection is lost.

HT204032 Power Nap Compatibility.

In the article about Power Nap it says that the Macbooks that are compatible are the Macbook Airs after 2011 and the Macbook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012). Does this mean the retina display ones AND mid 2012 edition or just macbook pro with retina in mid 2012? I have the New Macbook pro bought in July 2012, when I upgrade to Mountain Lion, will I be compatible to use Power Nap?
Article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5394
Thanks,
Harsh

I believe it is limited to the Retina versions, as they use SSD Flash storage - unlike the other MBP models.

WRT1900AC & XBOX Slim Will not Connect

I'm about ready to give up...
Previously had xbox connect via wireless old linksys router with no issues ever. Router died so upgraded to the WRT1900AC. Great router for everything but the xbox. 8 other devices connect, fast, and great range. However. . .
xbox sees the network but will not connect
First tried dropping the network mode as other have, but that didn't help.
Then bought a bridge WUMC710, but no luck. Everything else works with the bridge, but not the xbox.
Then tried a wired connection. Still sees the the network, but won't connect.
We've also reset the xbox, temporarily removed security from the router, tried to hard coded the IP on the xbox.
Any thoughts????

Ports 53, 80 and 88 are not needed to be configured. Just 3074 and can be configuredas a Single Port Forward.
We hope he will respond with any progress and with answer to everyons questions soon. Or maybe got it figured out we hope.
dadayzee wrote:
@alexy2, how about you try and plug the Xbox directly to the modem (no router in between) and check if it will work properly? It could be that there's a NAT in the modem that's restricting the Xbox connection. If Xbox is working fine with the modem, try and open Xbox ports in the router. Xbox use ports 88, 3074, 53, 80. You may also want consult Microsoft about this.
