Win7 laptop loses wiresless connection to HH5, IOS...

Hi all, as above really, the laptop intermittently loses its wireless connection to my HH5. Win7 diagnostics says that my router has lost its connection to the Internet but other devices are ok so it hasn't. Reboot sorts it. Have checked network adaptor drivers and they are up to date.
Any ideas how i troubleshoot this please?

No it shouldn't switch it off when in use. It is meant to only turn it off when the computer goes to sleep but if some drivers don't behave as they should they can cause problems.

All devices on network lose internet connection when Dell laptop connected

I have successfully setup my AEBS network and am using two wireless clients--HP printer and Xbox access point (both 802.11 G) and a wired iMac that also is connected via Airport (so I can move it around if i want). I tried connecting my Dell Latitude D830 wirelessly and within a few minutes of connecting the AEBS loses internet connectivity. Unplugging and restarting the AEBS restores the internet but it just drops off again in less than 10 minutes. My question is, what might be causing this and what can I do about it? One peculiar thing to me is that I am using the WEP security option since the Xbox doesn't seem to support WAP2. When connecting the Xbox it reports the network as WEP but the HP printer and Dell Laptop but suggested the network was indeed WAP even though I'm clearing using WEP security. Maybe it's nothing but wanted to add for completeness.
The Dell is running Vista Enterprise edition.
Thanks for any help.

I've noticed a similar issue. Any time my HP/Vista laptop is connected to my AEBS it loses the network connection at inconsistant time intervals(~10-15 min).

New 6500 E709n loses wireless connection when it or laptop sleeps... & other problems!

Just got this printer and am hoping we can get it to work because we really like it. I believe we've done everything right - it is connected to PC via USB, and to laptop via wireless network. Both computers are Dells running XP. Our wireless router is a Linksys Wireless-G WRT54G. We installed the disk on both. Immediately after installing on the laptop by plugging in USB and then unplugging, we were able to get it to work. We printed and scanned from both . . . UNTIL the printer went into power save mode.
When it sleeps it loses all the network connections (but will still print from PC). Even the icons disappear from the laptop after it sleeps. The only way to get it to work with the laptop again is to start all over, plug in the laptop, enter the WPA key again, and so on. Then it's finebut for just a short while. Now, when I registered my protection plan, I was on the phone with a techie guy and asked him if it's normal to have to keep entering the key every time you want to print, and he actually said that maybe I shouldn't let the printer sleep - wow! I want to conserve energy, so I may even want to shut it off, okay, and I don't feel I should have to go through this rigamarole every time I want the darn thing to just be available to the network. Furthermore, what's the sense of having to turn "Wireless Radio" on and off all the time???
Anyway, there are other problems and the menus in the internal web browser is about as confusing as it can be. Is the passphrase the same as a WPA key? There's a passphrase in there which I did not enter, and I don't know what it is because it's been disguised with dots. When I enter the WPA key on the front panel of the printer, it doesn't stick. One thing I noticed in the instructions is to keep telephones away from it, so I moved ours (was right next to it) but it's still being ornery.
In addition, the scan function only works from the software, not as a standalone if I use the front panel. When using the button on the front panel, sometimes it sees the laptop, sometimes it doesn't, and then it starts to scan, but a menu pops up on the computer asking to update the buttons, and then nothing happens.
Have we a clunker on our hands that should be returned, or is there a remedy? All suggestions welcome!

Let me answer the easy stuff first:
Yes, the passphrase is the same as the WPA-PSK key.
No, it's not normal to have to re-enter the wireless security key over and over again. Politely tell our service agent that he is mistaken on this point.
There's no sense in having to turn the radio on and off all the time to get the printer to remain on the network.
When the printer goes into power-save mode, can you still access the printer's internal web page by browsing to it's IP address? When the printer loses wireless connectivity, can you wake the printer by pressing any of the buttons on the front panel?
I have a couple more questions:
What WRT54G HW version do you have (it'll be on the bottom label of the router)?
What version of FW does your router have? You'll have to browse to the router's internal web page to find out.
Finally, change the WPA-PSK group key renewal period to the largest value possible. Tell if this affects the frequency of printer losing Wi-Fi connectivity?
One more question. After you have the printer connected to your wireless network and it's working, if you turn the printer off (via the power button), wait five seconds then unplug it then plug it back in and turn it on, does it connect to your network?

http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5209 might help you. An iPhone 4 can airplay content from apps that support airplay and iTunes but it cannot mirror. If your game does not have airplay in the app you cannot mirror it to the apple TV so I don't know if you can play just the music. You should have no problem playing your iTunes over airplay though.

Maxx Hotspot won't play nice with an IPad, Win7 laptop, and XP desktop. If the IPad connects to the hotspot first, it seems to lock the laptop out of an internet connection. Does anyone have a fix for this?

I recently had to replace my Razr Maxx with a newer model. XT1080 8984 The older model would handle multiple connections without a problem. However, the newer model (and newer OS?) has some sort of conflict between the IPad and the Win7 Laptop. I've spent a day getting the laptop connected to the internet and don't have a great deal of confidence that the connections won't fail in a moments notice.
Any suggestions or solutions?
Thanks

Thanks for all the extra details, shkc. While the occasional reboot is a good idea on any device, we certainly don't want you to need multiple restarts either. Try deleting the WiFi connection on all the connected devices. Then on your Maxx, go to Menu>Settings>More (under Wireless & Networks)>Tethering & Mobile Hotspot>Mobile Hotspot Settings>Configire Mobile Hotspot. First, change the Network Name to something a bit different with no special characters. Also, change the Broadcast Channel from Auto to a specific number, such as 10. Then save your changes and create the WiFi connection from the beginning on each of your connected devices.

WRT610N - Both laptops lose connection to access point intermittently

I've tried searching the forums a little but don't see my exact issue.
I have a WRT610N and two laptops (one Windows7 connected over N 5ghz and the other XP connecting over A 5ghz). From time to time, but at least twice a day, especially when doing a heavy download or streaming media, the laptop connection to the access point will be dropped. I have to disconnect from the wireless network and reconnect.
I verified that I was running the latest firmware. I never had to upgrade, was shipped with 2.00.00.05. THe 5ghz network uses WPA2 security and I tried switching from AES only to TKIP and AES. I also tried changing the key renewal interval. One laptop has a DHCP reservation and the other is allowed to get whatever IP. 20 or 40 Mhtz channel width is set to auto.
If anyone has any ideas of things to try before I go return the thing I would appreciate it.

2 laptops lose connection

Suddenly both laptops have lost connection with my wrt54g router. When i look at the connections, it says i'm connected but not connected. i have reentered the WEP key to no avail.
One computer indicates that a network cable is unplugged.
The name of the network seems to have changed also. Any ideas?
Thanks

If the name of your network has changed then one of two things has occured:
1) You are mistakenly trying to connect to your neighbor's router, or
2) You have been running an unsecured wireless system (probably with password = admin !!) and your neighbor has accidently (or intentionally) changed your router settings.
To remedy this problem:
1) Give your network a unique SSID. Do not use "linksys". Set your "SSID Broadcast" to "enabled".
2) Give your router a strong login password
3) Setup wireless security on your router.

MacBook loses wireless connection when iPod touch connects to network

hi
ever since upgrading to 10.5.5. on my MacBook i've had the "intermittent network connection" problems that have been described and discussed (without any real solution from what i can see) in another thread.
PROBLEM: every couple of minutes my MacBook loses connectivity to the network - the AirPort icon still says that i'm connected, albeit with one less bar than before, but i can't connect to anywhere, not even to the wireless router - and to re-establish a connection i need to switch off AirPort, switch it back on, it will then reconnect, and after two minutes or so i have to do it all over again because the network connection drops again.
NOVEL OBSERVATION 1: reinstalling the 10.5.5. combo system updater helped somewhat. i used to get an error in system.log about there being too many state transitions on the wireless network and about network traffic reduction measures being taken to overcome this problem, but after reinstalling the 10.5.5. combo system updater this message never appears in the logs and I get kicked off only sometimes (see what i say in point 2 below)
NOVEL OBSERVATION 2: now my MacBook will only lose its connection to the net if i switch on my iPod Touch and switch its wireless interface on. in fact, the only way to avoid the MacBook getting constantly disconnected is to make sure that the wireless interface on the Touch is switched off in the Touch's system preferences; if I just sleep the Touch (top button) without switching off its wireless network interface first in its System Preferences, then the MacBook will keep disconnecting even while the Touch is in sleep mode (presumably the Touch keeps polling the network or something, even while it's in sleep mode).
DIAGNOSTIC NOTE 1: I have another wireless device (my Nokia E51, which has wifi capabilities) and if I connect it to the wireless interface then the MacBook's connection isn't dropped - i.e. the MacBook only loses its wireless connection when my iPod Touch connects to the wireless network.
DIAGNOSTIC NOTE 2: I have upgraded my wireless router (before I had a Linksys WRT-54GC, now I have a Netgear WGR614v9) but that has made no difference.
DIAGNOSTIC NOTE 3: I have also tried altering the router's settings (i have played around a_lot with this, trying every combination I could think of - e.g. staple down particular devices to particular ip addresses, use only 802.11g versus automatic b/g, etc) but that has made no difference either.
RANT:
The only thing that prevents these disconnections from occurring is to keep the iPod Touch's wireless switched off, which ***** because if I'm in the kitchen I can't have it switched on to monitor my email (yes, I've no life, i hang around waiting for emails), or if I go have a lie down and want to check out stuff on the net, or to browse the iTunes music store or whatever, then I know that my connecting my iPod Touch the computer will be disconnected.
This obviously *****, right? And a lot of people are having wireless problems with their MacBooks, right? And these problems seem to have been around for over a year, right?
So why hasn't Apple solved this problem yet? Or am I just being melodramatic?
Your thoughts on any or all of the above, or flames if that's your preferred method of communicating, are invited. =)

Having the same problem here. As a first time mac user, Apple has certainly made a bad first impression.
For me, the issue seems to occur when transferring files between computers that are connected to the same access point (when transferring files from wired computers on the network there is no issue). My vista laptop and every laptop I have tried has worked perfectly fine with this access point so I am 100% convinced it is the mac. Basically when I copy the files, after about 100mb, I am unable to access anything on the local network or internet until I restart Airport. The weird thing is that even though I am unable to access anything, the airport utility says it is connected. I might also note that the wireless signal strength is full.
If I can't get this figured out in a few days, this computer is going back to the store where it came from and I will officially label myself anti-mac. This type of issue is just unacceptable for something so main stream.

Third Party 2 in 1 Camera Connection Kit and iOS 4.2

Has anyone tried the third party 2 in 1 Camera Connection Kit with iOS 4.2? This is the connector that has both the SD slot as well as the USB slot in one unit, rather than the two separate units on the Apple branded one. The third party one is cheaper and 1 less thing to carry around or potentially lose.
Thanks!
Matt

Is this really the actual name of it?

I lose internet connection every time my computer sleeps

HI, I lose internet connectivity everytime my laptop sleeps or shuts down. why? and how do I maintain connectivity with wireless router?

If you had mountain lion, you could've used a feature called power nap. It keeps networking on even when the mac is asleep.
On other OS, I guess its bound to disconnect all networks when it goes to sleep You can try an app called Caffeine that doesn't let it go to sleep.

Howdy Old rider,
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.
If multiple iPhones are having the same issue where ithey are disconnecting from your Wi-Fi network, then I'd like you to please review the settings on your router to ensure they match with the information in the article below.

Connecting printer to TC makes me lose internet connection

When trying to connect my Canon Pixma MP550 to the Time Capsule, I encountered a mysterious problem: I can print from my MBP via TC but I am losing the internet connection (the DSL light on my ADSL modem starts to blink and the AirPort Utility says that there is a problem with the PPoE connection.
Anyone having the same problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have discovered that the problem was probably not related to the printer (even if other USB devices like memory sticks work when plugged in the TC). When trying to do a faster Time Machine backup and connecting my laptop to the TC with an Ethernet cable, the same thing happens - my modem loses Internet connection. Very curious, and to the date noone has been capable to find a solution...

Did anyone lose music when updating to ios 5?

what the title says. Did anyone lose music when updating to ios 5?

Yes... It shows up as being on my iphone when I have it connected to iTunes, but if I try to call it up on the Music folder of my iphone, there's nothing there. Very frustrating... I don't know what to do. I would hate to have to re-format my iphone, but it's looking like that might be the only answer at this point.
