Wireless connection drops out for no reason

I have a macbook with 10.4.11 update. I had my macbook since october last year and had no problems. About two months ago now i have this problem were my wireless connection drops for no reason, my modem/router shows everything is working normal with its lights on the front panel.
My setup is, motorola sbg900 on a cable 80000mbps wireless network, firewall off on my modem, firewall on on my mac (its always been on), Playstation 3(wireless), PC(wireless, but is switched off), another pc which is wireless and also off, nintendo wii off as well, and a baby monitor.
I have a feeling its nothing to do with my setup(except for maybe port forwarding) but am wondering if it is an update issue bug that needs to be fixed(thats what im hoping).
One other thing, when my connection drops in the menu bar and i select it to see which networks are availale, my network motorola8566 is not visible, another 'motorola9522' and 'wireless' network is?My prefered networks dont list any of these in system preferences. Then all of a sudden those other networks dissapear, my network is reshown and i can select it no propblems. What gives? Any help would be great, thanx in advandce

I have the same issue with my wireless connection being dropped. I have the most recent version of leopard 10.5.2 . The other macbook in this household also has 10.5.2 and has no problems with dropped connections. I tried resetting the pram which helped at first until I used my macbook on the battery alone the problem started to reoccur. Help?!?

ITunes 10.4.1 freeze (hang) when webradio stream drop out for any reason.

Hello,
My iTunes freeze (hang) when any webradio stream drop out for any reason; e.g. when ISP renews the IP, the radio station has limited the stream duration (as some do) per connection or wireless is cut off e.g. by closing the lid of the MacBook.
I've to force Quit then iTunes. If I wait (up to an hour for testing) no hung or crash report get generated, iTunes still stay unresponsive.
System: MacBook Pro 2011
OS: OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard)
iTunes version: 10.4.1 (10)
iTunes 3rd Party add-on's: None
Any ideas out there?
Cheers - Lupunus

I will commiserate. I have this same issue. In some cases, the stream will stop and restart after 15-30 seconds; repeat. In other cases, the stream will stop, and iTunes will switch to the last radio station in that playlist. Then that station will play for a few minutes, and stop, and sometimes restart. But usually iTunes will hang (spinning beach ball) and must be force-quit.

HT4061 hi i have the new ipad as times when on safari - internet the screen drops out for no reason. does anyone have this problem

hello i have the new ipad 32GB as times when on the internet on safari the screen goes blank and drops out does anyone else have this problem

Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data and also Clear History
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

My Ipad 1, for no apparent reason, no longer connects to the Internet. Our home wireless connection is working for all other devices.Any clues?

You can also try to reset your network settings on the iPad. Go to Setings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.
Good Luck!

HT1338 my wireless keyboard keeps disconnecting for no reason, I press the side button and it connects again. Frustrating.

My wireless keyboard keeps disconnecting for no reason. Frustrating especially when you are going full on and nothing there. I press the button on the side and it connects again. Happening more frequently. Purchased in March.
Any ideas would be most appreciated.
Marie

I just have to ask, Is the battery due to be replaced by any chance?
Hope this helps

Wireless keeps dropping out

The wireless was working fine, i had it working with network-manager i then was doing some work that i wanted to do via ethernet so switched the wireless off using the switch and now it keeps dropping out, i have had to remove network-manager as it wouldnt let me connect to wired for some reason, and have tried to get wireless re-working with wifi-menu, i have delected the config and created one using the examples and using netcfg and still having no luck. I looks as if the device is going into "power saving" and wont come out, outputs below:

Wireless Connection drops after a few moments

Hello everbody!
Background: I have a cheap laptop with a windows only ACPI module, so I have to set acpi=off at all times anyway. I tried Ubuntu, which has the wireless problem too, but instead of repairing something bloated like Ubuntu, I now found my way to Arch to make it right from the beginning.
If the wireless problem gets solved, I want to go on installing the nvdia driver, maybe configure xmonad. (I want to try KDE4 for fun too though, eyecandy you know ) Simple working desktop without getting my laptop heated up like windows does.
The problem: I set up my wireless connection like the wiki says:
-The original SSID was "FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7270 Annex A" which I tried to escape with \ and using 'ssid'. This wouldn't work at all, if you have any explanation for that I'd love to know it. I changed the SSID to something without spaces and special characters and the connection would work. But it would be nice to change it back to the original.
-So it works now. Fine, I thought. But the connection drops after a few moments and I have to "killall wpa_supplicant dhcpcd" and start them again to make it work again. For a few moments only. So I went through the logfiles and found error messages which Google wouldn't help me solve on my own. Now I'm asking the Arch specialists here
Note: Using the partedmagic livecd, the wireless connection works out of the box and absolutely stable. I believe even a bit faster than under windows. So it has to work perfectly, I just don't know how to make it in Arch yet.

Thanks in advance to anyone helping me! I really really want to get Arch going. It's ideal for this laptop, no wasting of disk space, ressource friendly, the temperature doesn't go up as much with less cpu usage I guess..
I've written quite a bit, but hopefully this makes it easier for you to help me! I've included all I thought which could be useful.
Greetings from Germany,

The easiest solution might be to setup NetCfg somehow with your wifi card and access point. Have you tried that? Can you find your card's chipset on the wiki?(chances are that your particular chipset will need a firmware put into /lib/firmware. Again that's found on the wiki on the NetCfg or Wifi page, I forget which sorry.) Those are two places where I'd look for good information.
By the way, your rc.conf is way out of date. You should look at updating it by using the recent rc.conf.pacnew file that you'll find in the /etc directory.

Wireless connection drops after time. Please assist.

Hi
My problem is that my wireless connection drops every 5-15 minutes.
I don't know all the relevant info to give. If there's something I can post that will help let me know and I'll reply.
I've used netcfg to configure my network. I have a Canyon CN-WF511 wireless card.
I load the following 3 modules in my rc.conf; rt2500pci rt2x00lib rt2x00pci. I think those are the only ones pertaining to my network card.
When it drops I just netcfg -a then netcfg default (profile name) and it works for another few minutes.
Below is my network profile.
CONNECTION="wireless"
INTERFACE=wlan0
#IP="dhcp"
#DHCP_TIMEOUT=20
IP="static"
IFOPTS="192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
GATEWAY=192.168.0.1
#DOMAIN=localdomain
#DNS1=192.168.0.1
ESSID=default
SECURITY=none
SCAN="YES"

Satellite Z830 - Wireless adapter drop out/conflict with USB

My Satellite Z830 has a wierd problem. The wireless connectivity works well until I plug a usb flashdrive into the usb 3 port on the side. The wireless then drops out after a period and from then on it cant find any wireless connections available. It effectively kills the wireless adapter, or at least makes it less reliable.
You have to reboot to get the connection back. I've tried with a few different usb storage devices with the same outcome. Both the wireless connection and the usb drive work fine, but not at the same time. This happens regardless of whether using the battery or when plugged in. I checked the power settings to ensure there wasnt some problem there. Everything is just on factory install/settings generally, so I cant imagine it is anything I've changed.
I'm at work, but I'll see if I have the same problem with the usb sockets at the back, and/or with powered usb hard disk, when i get home. This is really annoying, as you cant use the net and leave a usb disk in without risking a drop out. I havent checked messing around with USB root hub settings or IRC issues as this seems unlikely. Any thoughts or is the a "give it back to Toshiba" issue - I'd rather not have the down time. It took me quite a while to work out this was the problem.
The wireless connection itself is very strong where the ultrabook is being used, so isnt a signal strength issue.

I used inSSIDer Office 5 day trial (http://www.metageek.net/support/downloads/)
too identify the same problem with my Z830.
_The results are really astonishing:_
the signal strength measured in dBm increases by > 100 times when the corded mouse is unplugged from the from the side USB port.
(plugging it into any of the USB ports in the back has no impact on the signal strength.)
In my case it jumped from -68 dBm to -41 dBm,: the -27 dBm difference means a 22.4 times improvement in signal strength (from about 100 pW to 2,240 pW).
See wikipedia for signal strength calculations: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DBm
I tested to plug in an external hard disk into the side USB and it had the same -27 dBm effect on the signal strength.
In other words the wifi signal strength jumps from poor to excellent when the side USB is not used.
Toshiba must look into this significant hardware design fault and in the interim, as the very least, must advise their customers against using the side USB port when on a wireless network.

Time Capsule wireless intermittent drop outs to PC and iPhone

I have a Time Capsule that we use in our home as a wireless router and back-up. It is connected to a Comcast cable modem only. It has worked well, but about a couple months ago we started to have issues. Our iMac sees the Time Capsule through the wireless fine and has no connectivity issues. However, my PC laptop, that used to connect wirelessly, now has issues keeping a connection and so does my iPhone. The two devices will see the network and connect, but the connection drops out after a minute or so, then reconnects, and the cycle continues. I am not sure what to do to fix this and it makes me even more confused since our iMac has no issues with the wireless connection. Has anyone experienced this issue? Thanks!

All that is Ok, and TIvo says I am hooked up correctly. THey say this is the problem, they can look at the box to see the error #.
The following ports (whether inbound or outbound) must be open to allow your TiVo box to communicate with the TiVo Servers, other TiVo boxes, and your Macintosh or Windows PC:
TCP port 37
TCP port 80
TCP port 443
TCP port 2190
TCP port 4430
TCP port 5222
TCP port 5223
TCP port 5254
TCP port 5354
TCP port 7287-7297
TCP port 8000
TCP ports 8080-8089
TCP port 8101
TCP port 8102
TCP port 8181
TCP port 8200
UDP port 37
UDP port 123
UDP port 2190
UDP port 5353
In addition, TiVo Desktop for Macintosh computers requires at least one of the following ports to be open for communications: 8101, 8102, or 8200.
Didn't locate any information about this.

MacBook Pro Airport connection drops out

I have a new and really cool MBP.
I have a 2 year old Airport Express connected to a Motorola Cable Modem creating my wireless home net.
I also have a 2 years old iBook G4 with no problem connecting to the airport.
My new MBP has no problem too when is connected to the AC. BUT when I run my MBP from the battery, the connection drops out randomly.
It's annoying and I cannot find any helpfull support or working solution at Apple.com nor at the other similar thread on this forum. I've tried some proposed solutions. But none worked more than some minutes (which mean that actually they didn't work).
I have some questions about all this:
1) Anybody knows if this is a Hardware or a Software issue?
2) Apple officially said anything about this problem?
3) Can I use my purchase warranty in order to demmand a replacement?
4) Is there any official or unofficial solution that really works?
Please, help. I think it's very stupid to have a nice and really expensive laptop without real wireless capability,
Who want a wireless connection if you aren't able to use it when you are not connected to the AC????
If I was running Vista on Dell or HP laptop I would understand. But on a Mac???
COME ON APPLE!!!!!
This is the 2nd BIG problem I am facing with my new MBP since I bought it on July. I am frustrated and tired. First I couldn't use Motion 3 for like a month because of a bad update. Now I realize the wireless capability is crap.
I have the feeling that the older Apple Computers are better... at least they work!

I had the same problem on my MacBook Pro for the last month or so after "updating" to 10.4.10. Yesterday I tried Loki's fix but couldn't connect at all after that. So I did an archive/install of 10.4.9 and it works better than ever before. I get full signal and it is a lot snappier and faster. The problem is likely in the 10.4.10 update, hopefully Apple will get that fixed in 10.4.11

Wireless connection drops every day -- iTunes 8.02 the problem??

Hello! Our iMac is connected to the internet via Airport, and we have rarely had problems with the connection. For the last two weeks, when I get on the iMac for the first time that day, I have to reconnect to the wireless network through the Airport Setup Assistant every single time. I've tried resetting our cable modem and Airport -- no effect on the problem. I've tried going into sleep mode without logging off to see if that might help -- nope. I've tried repairing permissions in the off-chance that that might help -- no again.
In something that seems more than just a coincidence, we updated our iTunes to 8.02 about two weeks ago, and that's when this problem began happening. I am especially suspicious that there's a link because we did not update iTunes on our Macbook and it has no problem whatsoever staying connected to the exact same wireless network.
Two questions, then:
-- Is the iTunes 8.02 update the problem?
-- If so, how do I go back to iTunes 7.7?
Thanks!

Hi, I'm new to iTunes and apple, but this is happening to me too! I've got iTunes 8 and whenever I run it, my wireless connection drops (disables itself) and cannot be restarted without rebooting the machine. Did you manage to find an answer?

Wireless connection drops at random

Hi,
I have a 27" late 2011 iMAC. Since I updated to Lion my wireless connection drops at random. The wireless symbol shows that I am connected, but i cannot use the internet.
The sollution at that time is that I turn off wireless, and than turn it on again. This solves the problem, but only temporarely. Since I also own a NAS for TimeMachine backups, the dropping of the connection is annoying because the backups fail most of the time.
What is causing this problem. I have 2 windows PC's and the connection stays. Router has latest firmware (fritzbox 7340), and my mac is up to date.
Please help.
Thanx in advance.

Hi,
try to change the WiFi channel on your fritzbox, sometimes it works better on higher channels 11, 12, 13 especially if there are Telekom routers in your neibourhood. Make sure to use the latest Firmware for your Fritz!Box, the actually had a few issues in this area a few months ago. If this still does not help, only activate the 2,4 Ghz Bandwidth on the Firtz!Box and deactivate de 5 Ghz option.
I hope that this will solve your issue.
Cheers

10.5.2 failed to fix wireless connection dropping problem

10.5.2 did not fix wireless connection dropping problem. I lose wireless connection whenever my MBP restarts or wake up from sleep in the building where I am and have to retype password about 10 times a day. I had not had this problem when I used Tiger. Everyone who has upgraded to Leopard or has it installed on their Mac is experiencing the same problem. Is there any solution or trick to resolve this problem? Thank you.

Amularya,
Please read the post I made in this thread earlier. No less than a dozen solutions are offered in the link I provided for wireless issues. Troubleshooting wireless issues requires individual attention because of the plethora of issues which can't be tested for. So please start a new topic thread here:
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1225&start=0
So you can get a wider audience, and won't confuse the original poster with solutions that don't apply to them.
There literally hundreds of different WiFi adapters.
Dozens of different virus and firewall combinations.
Possibilities for damaged WiFi cards and routers, as well as routers whose firmware is not to spec with the latest wireless standard.
To top it off, bad RAM, hard disk being too full, and bad preference, cache or or logfiles can make various aspects of the operating system misbehave, and/or even the directory leading to those files.
Until each person starts their own thread looking for solution individually, chances are they won't find one. Yes, 10.5.2 addresses WiFi for some people. Obviously it doesn't for everyone. The point is, there are some people, like myself who have never had a WiFi issue either with Intel or PowerPC Macs that they couldn't resolve without a little bit of troubleshooting. I'm happy to help you walk through it, but only if you start your own thread asking for help.
