Wireless connection fluctuations!

I purchased a Toshiba Tecra M3 1.73Ghz with 802.11bg wireless in July this year and it's been working fine until about a month ago. Upon startup, my wireless connection registers 58MBps (and 'excellent' signal strength) but within 5 minutes, that drops radically to 24MBps and even a measly 1MBps at times. I also note that it frequently disconnects and reconnects by itself, with new pop-up windows notifying me of new connetions.
I've checked my wireless hub and there are no problems with it. Indeed, my housemate experiences no problems with connection speeds on his Apple G5. I've also tried the obvious solution of moving my laptop right next to the hub but that has not affected the connectivity.
Download speeds fluctuate constantly and I am unable to play online games like Counter-strike: Source because I constantly disconnect and hang with my ping jumping from 30 to 9999.
Is this a hardware problem or is there some software issue that I'm missing? If so, where can I take my laptop to get the hardware sorted out?
Thanks,
Ben

Exactly the same problems do I have, and tried every driver from intel, from 8.0.x.x to 9.3.x.x, nothing helped, no Setting change too.
Installed Atheros AR5006XS Wireless Adapter, by doing the "Tape over Pin11 (7) trick", with newest driver now, and now connection works fine. No lags, ping is very good, always connection to Access Point. In my opinion it's a hardware or driver problem by Intel.

  • TS1398 ipad3 wireless connection fluctuates

    Home internet connection on my iPad3 fluctuates. Using Time Capsule and Airport Express as range extender; both check out fine. Fluctuate connection more of a problem when AE is closest wifi source.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) 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 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.

  • 2007 Macbook Pro, Wireless connection slows to a crawl or drops out!

    Hi all, I have recently started having problems with my 2007 15" 2.16ghz Macbook Pro and the wireless connection to my router.
    Quite often it will say I am not connected to the network, the Airport symbol will fluctuate between full bars and no bars and when it does connect, the speed is awfully slow, it regularly hangs on a webpage for a few seconds before loading it up.
    It is not the router as my Girlfriend has a white macbook and when I am experiencing problems she is not. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what may be the problem, is the wireless card on it's way out??
    btw the airport details are:
    Wireless Card Type: AirPort Extreme (0x168C, 0x87)
    Wireless Card Locale: Worldwide
    Wireless Card Firmware Version: 1.4.10.3
    Current Wireless Network: SKY10597
    Wireless Channel: 2
    Thanks, Nick

    You might try a different channel, but the iBook result belies there being a high probability of success using this approach. You could try a different browser. Does the problem also occur when you are very close to the WAP? Your card might be old enough to be malfunctioning. Given the recent experiences of others, I don't recommend doing any updates in trying to solve the problem. Have you done any Airport related updates lately?

  • Dear Steve, will anything be done about this wireless connectivity issue?

    This is no fun whatsoever....
    I am telling you - browsing interenet on iMac is no fun, seriously.
    I prepared a quick research for you:

    People, help me in refining this list - did I leave something out?
    P.S. I was thinking lately, why, after spending so much money, should I spend several days already, in agregate, trying to understand the issue and how it should be resolved? Have I not paid for not having such problems?

    Here is a lot more:
    http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/wirelessnetworking/topic4035.html
    Highly interesting is the post of J.Exby which i reproduce here:
    For months I've not been alone in holding to the notion that the airport client software on Mac OS X 10.4.x has been problematic and unstable in certain (noisy, crowded, channel overlapped) wireless environments. Issues littered around the Internet Mac forums include problems of networks appearing, then disappearing. This is a difficult problem to pin down, given the difficulty of reproducing the conditions that might cause wireless network dropouts.
    A major symptom of the problem was seeing the constant messages of:
    "An error occurred joining the AirPort network" (Try Again) (Cancel)
    when attempting to connect to a wireless network, despite that network being seen, having correct security settings, etc.
    Various temporary fixes/ideas floated around the mac community have included:
    - reseting pram, nvram and PMU
    - installing 10.4 from scratch, instead of 10.3 to 10.4 upgrade process
    - Repairing permissions, run Combo updaters, etc
    - putting system to sleep or reboot for temporary connection fix
    - applying AirPort 2005-001 patch (or not)
    - upgrading (or downgrading!) AirPort basestation firmware
    - changing AirPort channels
    - enabled (or disabling) Interference Robustness
    - disabling Bluetooth and BT peripherals
    - removing WEP/WPA passwords out of Keychain
    - running Keychain First Aid on user/login keychains
    - buying new AirPort extreme cards
    - replacing AirPort base stations with other vendor hardware, etc.
    With the stability of our Windows XP clients now (after driver updates) and the change from Apple base stations to Belkin Wireless Pre-N Router having no appreciable benefit for our Mac notebooks, the OS X AirPort client software suspicions only grew.
    During troubleshooting I always have
    Applications--->Utilities--->Console
    and
    iStumbler (96)
    running, and I watch output as wireless scans are performed.
    From the Terminal I also run:
    /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Resources/airport -s
    and usually see constant
    AirPortScanner WirelessScan error -2013261821 airpInternalErr
    messages.
    After two days of testing (and fixing?) I am even more convinced there are bugs in the powerpc 10.4.x AirPort Extreme Framework!
    This is what I found:
    Environment at our office:
    - wireless Network A (802.11g channel 1, WPA personal)
    - wireless Network B (802.11b channel 6, WEP 40bit ascii)
    - wireless Network C (802.11g channel 11, WPA personal)
    (WAR-marching around our office exterior shows at least 12 outside wireless networks found at various signal strengths!)
    Test systems used:
    - iBook G4 (10.3.x and 10.4.5)
    - Powerbook G4 (10.4.5)
    - Intel iMac (10.4.5)
    Primary symptom on iBook: networks not displaying long enough under the AirPort icon/menu (or Internet Connect) to connect to ANY network reliably! Perhaps connect to Network A intermittently, never even see Network C.
    iStumbler showing some networks respond to poll, then immediately stagnate/disappear.
    Primary symptom on Powerbook: stable connections to Network C most times, difficulty "switching" to Network B or A once moving closer to source. Usually stable "seeing" networks via AirPort menu icon, but still have occasional dropouts (due to fluctuating signal strength or interference?).
    Primary symptom on Intel iMac: NO PROBLEMS! Can connect to (and steadily "see") all valid Networks A, B, C !
    iStumbler constantly polls all available networks, with no dropouts.
    Steps taken:
    1. Wipe iBook hard drive, install 10.3 from dvd. AirPort signals unreliable.
    1a. Perform all 10.3.x Software updates, Repair Permissions, reboot. AirPort still unreliable.
    2. Reset PRAM, nvram, PMU. no improvements.
    3. Reseat AirPort Extreme card, ensure antenna is firmly plugged in. AirPort still unreliable.
    4. Wipe iBook, install 10.4.3 "fresh" from Full retail version DVD. AirPort still unreliable.
    4a. Perform all 10.4.5 Software (combo) updates, Repair Permissions, reboot. AirPort still unreliable.
    5. Hold down the Option key, and click on the AirPort icon in the menu bar.
    select About AirPort...
    pay particular attention to each system showing:
    iBook: AirPort Framework 421.13.0
    powerbook: AirPort Framework 421.13.0
    intel iMac: AirPort Framework 426.1.0
    Aha! A big difference with the AirPort Framework component version on the Intel iMac!
    6. So, using the Terminal let's get this newer Apple80211.framework onto the iBook.
    First on the intel iMac:
    cd /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks
    sudo tar cf ~/intelApple80211frame.tar Apple80211.framework
    Copy this intelApple80211frame.tar file onto a USB thumb drive, CDR, iPod, scp, etc. to copy it onto the iBook (home directory).
    7. With the tar file copied into the home area on the iBook, turn off iBook's AirPort via the menubar icon.
    Now launch Terminal and:
    mkdir backup-framework
    cd /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks
    sudo mv Apple80211.framework ~/backup-framework/
    sudo tar xvpf ~/intelApple80211frame.tar
    Launch Disk Utility, Repair Permissions on boot drive.
    Reboot iBook.
    8. Turn Airport on via the menubar icon.
    iBook now has HUGE improvements in wireless connectivity! It can "see" all Networks A, B, C reliably and can connect to any of them when in range (having enough signal strength). Switching between networks is successful 90% of the time. Occasional message of:
    "An error occurred joining the AirPort network (Try Again) (Cancel)"
    usually works after clicking (Try Again), whereas before Try Again almost always failed.
    I am unsure how this newer Apple80211.framework will affect future Software Updates on the iBook, but frankly I could care less now that it's able to access all of our wireless networks!
    I am unsure if this is the magic-bullet solution for a majority of people, but I'm stunned that Apple appears to be providing new and improved Apple80211.framework software with the intel iMacs, but many of us have been fighting AirPort problems on PowerPC platforms for months!
    Come on Apple, OS X 10.4.5 should contain the SAME software component versions for ALL CPU platforms!

  • Mac Pro with XP in boot camp - wireless speed fluctuates

    I'm running XP on my Mac Pro, i installed all the latest drivers (from the leopard DVD and also from windows update) but i'm noticing very heavy fluctuations regarding my wireless network speed.
    When i look at "Wireless Network Connection Status", the connection/strength is always very good, but the speed fluctuates from anything between 54Mbps to just 1Mbps.
    I've searched the forum and i've found some people with similar, but not the same problem, and their solutions (mainly windows patches) did not work for me.
    Just to be clear, under Leopard the wireless connection works just fine, and on my work laptop (hp, XP Pro) it works as expected. So it doesnt seem to be a router problem to me.

    Thank you for the link but it wasn't helpful as it only really said compatibility.  What did finally resolve the issue was going directly to AMD and finding that they updated the BootCamp specific drivers.  For other that stumble upon this, you cannot use the normal drivers from AMD but you must search for the bootcamp specific drivers (which also includes an updated Catalyst utility and a couple extra things not included in Apples release of the drivers).

  • WVC54GCA Wireless connection drops off everyday.

    I have to restart the camera everyday beacuse it looses it wireless connection. I don't have a lenght of time it stays connected. I'm using a Linksys WAP54G connected to a RVS4000 router.  I see others are haveing the same problem.  My laptop stays comnnected so I don't think it is the WAP. 

    You shouldn't have to do this, if you give each camera a fixed IP.
    I have 4 cameras, I'm using one on a cable and the other 3 wirelessly.
    The wireless ones  all drop off and fall asleep at anytime during the day/night, but the one on thr cable doesn't.
    I think, it's a communications/handshaking problem within the wireless network. When the wireless signal fluctuates too much, the cameras don't come back.
    I solve this with a ping to the cameras. The first ping usually comes back dead with 100 % packet loss.
    The second ping may take 3000 ms.
    The third ping usually gets them back to normal, around 2-3 ms.
    All is good after that (for a while).
    I don't seem to have that problem, when the cameras are streaming. Sometimes I get a short break in the stream after a while. I've put this down to heat developing in the camera, but I'm not sure.
    Anyway, Ithink, a static IP is a must for these cameras, if you use them wirelessly.
    Cheers

  • Satellite U940 PSU6VA - Wireless connectivity issues

    _*My specifications:*_
    *Model:* Toshiba Ultrabook (Satellite U940 PSU6VA-00S002)
    *Operating System:* Windows 8.1 x64 (upgraded from Windows 8 x64)
    *Wireless adapter:* Intel(R) Centrino(R) Wireless-N 2200
    *Wireless adapter driver version:* 15.10.0.12 (which is the latest for my device)
    I have had this Ultrabook since February 2013, and throughout that period I have always had wireless connectivity issues, even after performing a factory reset. My wireless icon fluctuates between three states:
    * Internet access
    * Limited (in which case I cannot connect to the internet or any device on the network)
    * Not connected - connections are available (and if I try to make it connect to the network, it will fail)
    Sometimes my computer would instantly reach the "Internet access" state upon startup, and would remain in that state. Other times, it would be "Limited" for several minutes after starting up my computer before it finally connected, and even then the connection would drop out every now and then. At the worst, it would remain either "Limited" or "Not connected" indefinitely, no matter how many times I reset my wireless adapter or restarted my computer.
    Until recently, I had always thought that these issues occurred randomly. However, I recently noticed that I always have a perfect connection whenever there are no other computers connected wirelessly to my home router, and I always experience issues of varying degrees when there is at least one other computer (or even a smartphone) connected wirelessly to the router. If there is another computer connected to the router via an Ethernet cable, this does not cause any problems; it is only wireless connections that interfere with my computer.
    It is only this computer that has these problems; the other computers in my house never experience these issues, no matter how many computers are online. Also, my computer does not only experience these issues with my home router; it has the same issues on my university's wireless network.
    My question is, how can I fix this? Is this a known bug, or is my wireless adapter defective? I know I can connect using an Ethernet cable where possible (I never have problems with Ethernet connections), but this is not always possible at university.

    I just checked the page you linked to, but it recommends that laptop users obtain their drivers from their OEM rather than from Intel.
    I had already checked for driver updates through both Toshiba Service Station and Device Manager (and checked both again just now). Toshiba Service Station tells me that there are no updates available, and Device Manager tells me that "the driver software for your device is up to date".
    Should I update to Intel's latest driver anyway? If so, should I also install the Windows 8.1 version of "Intel PROSet/Wireless Wifi Software"?

    > I would recommend you to check the Wlan functionality and performance testing each Wlan standard 802.11 B / G and N and additionally check the different Wlan channels (1-11)
    I have found the WLAN channel setting in Device Manager and I will test it when I get the chance. But how do I change the WLAN standard?

  • Often lose wireless connection when using HDTV as monitor

    I have an unusual wireless networking problem when using my Samsung HDTV in my living room as a monitor for my MacBook (when watching Internet TV shows, for example). Frequently when I switch URLs, networking freezes, even though the connection appears strong, with the Airport symbol at the top of my screen showing all bars. To re-establish the wireless connection, I have to go through the process of re-joining my network through the “Join Other Network" option. The signal holds as long as I don’t try to change it, as in selecting another URL.
    I connect to my HDTV via HDMI cable, using a mini-DVI to HDMI adapter from my Macbook’s video-out port. The audio connection is a mini-plug from the Mac’s headphone out jack to stereo RCA plugs associated with the TV’s HDMI port.
    The wireless connection is through a Lynksys Wireless-G 2.4 Ghz, 54 Mpbs Broadband router.
    I’d appreciate any solutions the Apple user community has to offer.

    I'd say this has nothing to do with your display. The problem will likely lie in either your router settings, network settings or a simple signal strength issue. Try first changing the broadcast channel on your router, and make sure all settings are correct for your desired network.

  • Can't configure Wireless Connection to HP OfficeJet Pro L7780

    I recently purchased both my iMac 24" 2.8GHz computer with OS x 10.5.2 and HP OfficeJet Pro L7780. I was able to use the HP setup CDs for my Windows laptops and configured them to use the printer in a wireless configuration.
    The iMac is creating the headache (actually I think it's HP causing the headache). When I try to install HP's driver 9.7.1 using their utility, it is unable to detect the L7780 in a wireless configuration. The moment I connect via USB or wired Ethernet, the printer is detected without a problem. My printer is located @ 192.168.1.30, fixed IP address via a NetGear FSW308 switch. My iMac is fixed @ 192.168.1.100 and the gateway is 192.168.1.1
    I spent hours on the phone with HP support and am still in the same spot... HP software won't find the printer when it is wireless. I can configure OS x 10.5.2 to use the internal L7700 series driver and put the IP address in the dialog box. The printer prints without issue using the OS printer drivers, but the other features such as scan and fax will not work without the HP software.
    I can ping the printer and I can connect to the printer's EWS, but the HP software will not find the software.
    Overall config: iMac wireless network connection to switch; Printer also wireless connection to switch.
    So far HP is dumbfounded and all they can say is that I should call Apple because the printer software works fine when I connect the Ethernet or USB cables.
    HELP!
    Thanks,
    Roland

    Thank you for the thought. Yes, although my SSID is public, I have a WEP 128-bit security key. The printer, the iMac and my Windows laptops all connect to the wireless network without issue, as evidenced by my Windows laptops and iMac (if I use the driver included with OS X 10.5.2).
    I can ping the printer from the iMac as well as connect to the printer's web interface, so connectivity exists. It is as if the setup software or the printer are trying to communicate using a port that or service that OS X may be blocking.
    My OS X firewall is configured to accept all connections though... so that shouldn't be the issue unless there is a bug in accepting all connections.
    Thanks,
    Roland

  • Wireless connection not working after installed newest Lenovo ThinkVantage System Update programs

    Hi, everyone!
    I've installed some newest programs through Lenovo ThinkVantage System Update and just after that my wireless connection has stopped working. Here are the installed programs:
    ThinkPad UltraNav Driver for Windows 32-bit version 15.0.24.0;

    _Maybe_  your situation is the same.
    The fix in all 3 cases was to go to device manager and uninstall the wifi driver.  Then scan for hardware changes and let it reinstall the driver.  Something about how Access Connections or some other networking mangement thingy was hooking the drivers I guess.
    On both of the friend's machines, the wired networking was also b0rked.  Same fix there.

  • My hp top shot laserjet pro m275 cannot find my wireless connection

    Hi there,
    my printer cannot find any wireless connection available.
    and the blue light on the wifi icon is blinking.
    how do I solve this problem so i can print again?

    The blue wireless light flashing means you are not connected to your routers SSID.  You need to go back and connect to your routers SSID with it's password to get the light on solid.

  • After downloading Yosemite, my HP Photosmart D110 printer will no longer work. The wireless connection is fine but says it cannot find my printer when trying to print.

    After downloading Yosemite my printer, a HP Photosmart D100 will no longer print. The wireless connection is fine, and a test page printed perfectly directly from my printer. When trying to print from my computer, it says it cannot connect or find the printer. I tried downloading the most updated software from HP website but it doesn't appear to be helping.

    Try resetting the printing system.
    OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system
    If you have the printers IP address open Terminal (applications/Utilities) and at the prompt type: ping {printerIP}. You will get a reply or failure.

    Hi Ieb_Fabulous,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I gather you are trying to hook your Deskjet 1510 printer to your laptop with a wireless connection.
    This printer does not support wireless connectivity. I have included the Deskjet 1510 Printer Specifications for your reference.
