Wireless Connection Keeps disconnecting and reconnecting

I recently got a new router to replace my old one (which had the same issue) and it frequently disconnects randomly for a couple seconds then reconnects again. This seems to only happen to anyone using wireless connections and not when its connected with an Ethernet cable. I've even changed the router channel and the problem still persists and its not near anything the could disrupt the signal so I don't understand.

With the same issue on 2 routers, it's probably not a defective router. But it could be the settings. As Matt suggested check your security settings and the wireless mode. If all of your devices are "n" use performance mode. Otherwise use compatibility mode.
Inssider (available for free at the following link) will show you other devices and enable you to pick the best channel.

Is the problem is on multiple devices or just one? If it's only one the issue could be the wireless card.
Since it is a wireless problem think about distance and obstruction. They will reduce signal strength and could cause intermittent problems. Try testing close to the router and see if the same problem occurs. Router positioning can improve signal quality. Don't overlook little things. Example: many users stand the router up. I found that I get better reception with it laying on it's side. And one of my laptops has a significant change in performance by rotating it 90degrees. The kind of problem you are having may need some trial and error research to solve.

Wireless keyboard keeps disconnecting and reconnecting

My Wireless Keyboard keeps disconnecting and reconnecting and typing by it self!! any ideas?

Hi,
Yes believe it or not my problem was caused by the keyboard being too close to the iMac display, the bluetooth was infering with the other radio signals coming from the antenna, it needs to be at least 1ft away from the display (30cm) to prevent this (this won't help those of you with small computer tables/desks)
Hope this works for you....

Connection keep disconnecting and reconnecting itself

Few days ago I installed arch on this laptop (HP Pavilion 15-b129el Sleekbook), I started installing and configuring stuff on it today and I encountered a couple of problems with the connection and xorg (which I won't discuss in this thread).
To make it short, launching wifi-menu will show correctly all the available networks, it won't, however, actually connect.
I tried netctl which successfully connected and gave me a chance to download and install programs, sadly the connection doesn't last long but it seem to reconnect by itself.
For instance, I was updating with pacman -Syu now and as it was downloading the package linux3.10.6-2-X86_64 it kept disconnecting to reconnect after a bit and restart downloading the package from where it stopped.
I decided to test if my laptop had hardware problem and booted into my xubuntu partition, I launched a ping command and it seem to be stable, sometimes it takes a bit longer than it should to receive new signal but it don't seem to lose connection at all.
Suggestions?

Update: Today wifi-menu managed to connect with a similar behaviour of netctl, connection works fine for a while, then doesn't work, then work again, tested with the ping command, I'd say a bit over a hundred pings works fine, then it stop for a while saying network unreachable, then working fine again.
Changed title to fit better the situation.

Controller keeps disconnecting and reconnecting

Hi thereI have recently had a problem with my Dualshock 4 controller connecting to my PS4. I took ps4 to my dads while i was staying there and everything was fine. Since i returned home i set up ps4 as normal but my controller keeps disconnecting and reconnecting itself. It is not a charge issue as it has been charging for 2 hours now. I am just sitting on the home screen now and controller is plugged in by usb cable and just keeps connecting and reconnecting but remains on charge when it disconnects. Any help would be much appreciated

Turn off the PlayStation 4 by pressing the power button on the front panel. The power indicator will blink for a few moments before turning off.Once the PlayStation 4 is off, press and hold the power button. Release it after you've heard two beeps: one when you initially press, and another 7 seconds later.Connect the DualShock 4 controller with the provided USB cable and press the PS button on the controller.Choose option 5 rebuild database.For home hub. Open the web browser on a computer or device connected to your Hub and go to http://bthomehub.home to open the Hub ManagerClick on SettingsEnter the admin password. Unless you've previously changed it, you'll find the default password on your Hub settings card on the back of your Hub. If you have changed it and now forgotten it, you can use the password override feature to set up a new passwordClick on the "Advanced Settings" tab, then click Continue to Advanced SettingsClick on the "Wireless" tabTo manually select the wireless channel for the "2.4 GHz" band:Go to the 2.4GHz page and select a channel from the drop down menu next to "Wireless Channel". First try channels 1, 6 or 11Click Apply to confirm the change. Then wait 60 seconds for your computer to automatically discover the new settings.

Wireless connection keeps disconnecting - Satellite C650 16U

Hi
My wireless connection keeps disconnecting frequently and I have to manually reconnect it. I don't think it is a router issue as this doesn't happen with other laptop that is used in my house. Any ideas why this is?
Thanks

Hi mate
I recommend checking the power saving settings in Win 7 power management.
There you can change (disable) the power saving for WLan card.
This helped in my case.
Please also check this thread:

As I said; power management setting is the key you should also update the WLan driver!

Internet keeps disconnecting and reconnecting.

Hello
I have Verizon fios, and my internet keeps disconnecting and reconnecting immediately, over a 10 minute period, many times a day.
I am not wireless. Im directly connected to my router. It seems to happen at the same time each day, lately its been getting worse, it will happen about 3-4 times a day . It will start disconnecting, then reconnect, every minute or so, for about 10 minutes.
Ive contacted verizon over the phone, they kept saying to check my router and wire (which I did, and everything seems to fine), after a while on the phone with them, they just hung up on me. I checked my router,wire,computer, and everything is fine there.
Can anyone help me? This is beginning to be a major issue.
Please help
A.W.

I was having this exact symptom for weeks and it was driving me crazy! However, I did find the problem and a solution and maybe it will benefit others as well.
Problem: I had added another device that had a static IP that conflicted with my router's IP.
Solution: In my case, I changed the other devices static IP, but you could also set the other device to use DHCP (best) or change the Verizon device IP.
This can occur for a variety of reasons, but the most common is when you add another router (like a wireless router). Another common cause is that another device on your LAN is running a DHCP server, and since the Verizon router is expecting to be the sole DHCP server they can server the same IP #s out. I've had many cases where a Windows machine just magically started serving DHPC requests, and all versions of Windows I've tested for some reason have the DHCP server running by default!
Hope this helps!

Keeps disconnect and reconnect

I have a retina Macbook Pro 13"(latest), iPad(3rd genernation), iPhone 5 and iPod shuffle(latest) and I am sure all their systems as well as iTunes on my Macbook Pro are latest version. The thing is that whenever I connect my iPad and iPod shuffle and try to sync using iTunes it just keeps disconnect and reconnect. At frist I thought there might be some problem with my USB port, so I tried both of my USB ports and it keeps behave like that. And the wired thing is, it did not happend to my iPhone 5 so far. So it is most likely that there are problems with the iTunes.
So I just want to ask is there anyone encounter the same problem and if you know how to fix this problem plsssssss tell me. Thx.

I think these problems were hopefully solved by recent update of Itunes.

Try restarting your phone and computer. Make sure itunes is up to date. Try different USB port.

MacBook keeps disconnecting and reconnecting wirelessly

I need some help, and I cannot seem to figure this out. In my office I have a 20" IMAC running Leopard with a Netgear router attached. When I try and connect wirelessly through my MacBook the connection keeps dropping and restarting and reassigns a new IP address everytime. This is quite annoying as it happens about every 15 seconds. Any suggestions on how to fix this or work around this.
Thanks for any help.

It does seem to be a cable issue although the iPhone got no problems.. Mysterious.
Thank you

Why does wifi on my iPod touch keeps disconnecting and reconnecting

I'm near a good router with three bars of wifi, yet it keeps disconnecting then reconnecting. This may be an iOS 5.1 issue.

Try:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
- You could also have an interference problem from another device like micrwave or other device.

WAG54G2 keeps disconnecting and reconnecting.

The problem started a few days ago.
Information:
Country: Egypt
ISP: TE Data
OS: Win 8
Router: Linksys WAG54G2
Connection: Ethernet cable and wireless for laptop.
Speed: 2mb
Steps i have tried so far:
Contacted my ISP, all good on their end.
Had a telephone guy come over to plug the router straight to the main line.
Unplugged the router cable and reconnected it again 30 sec later.
I have searched the internet for the answer but to no avail.
Thanks

If you are experiencing frequent disconnection from the wireless network, you may check the following factors which can greatly affect your wireless signals:
• 2.4 GHz interference
Your ADSL gateway may be operating on the same frequency as your cordless telephone system or other nearby equipment. Try to change your ADSL gateway’s channel to 1 or 11 and restart the wireless computers.
NOTE: The default gateway channel is 6.
• Physical obstructions
Your ADSL gateway or wireless computers may be losing connectivity because of physical obstacles, including thick walls and floors. You can physically move the equipment to different locations to find a better link.
• Surroundings
Keep the ADSL gateway away from large metal objects, bodies of water (fish tanks, bathrooms), and any electrical equipment including television sets, microwave ovens, radios, etc.

Wireless net keeps droping and reconnecting?

Hi! Ive had leopard installed on my macbook since it came out and had no problems. Now all of a sudden its deciding to copy windows and be ********. My wireless internet keeps dropping completely and reconnect itself.. anyone else have this issue? Oh.. now it figures its not doing it.. this is annoying.

I'm having the same problems with Leopard. I have about 6 wireless devices, including the iPhone, none drops the wireless connection. Until I installed Leopard, my MacBook was fine on my wireless, but once I installed OS X 10.5.1, it started dropping the connection everywhere I go. Its really annoying and there seems to be no reason for it.
There are no definite things I am doing that cause it to drop. I hope Apple releases 10.5.2 quickly, and it fixes this.

Wireless connection keeps disconnecting

I have a macbook OSX etc...i'm on a BT wireless home hub...it was working fine till about 2 weeks ago..now the connection lasts for maybe 5 mins if I'm lucky before it disconnects and I have to enter my password etc...very annoying...
is it my mac or is it BT?
thanks,

Coles Cross,
Thought you may have been boosting a WiFi signal with the router. With you plugging into the router yours would be closer to the router so you wouldn't be having the problems I'm having. What I can't understand is that I'm on one of he first Intel iMacs and the web browsing is fine. The new MacBook, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I can run network diagnostics and it says I have the connection but, the browser just sits there or takes forever to load. I usually just give up on it. I go back to my iMac and all works fine. If you or anyone would know what the difference could be, I'd appreciate it.
Oh, I have ran repair permissions program and all seems fine except each time it will have about 10 lines that all say the same thing about an iChat icon not being what it expected. Don't know if that's anything to do with it or not.
This is what is says each time:
Repairing permissions for “McBook”

Network Adapter keeps disconnecting, and reconnecting.

I am using an Intel NIC and the e1000g driver. Using DHCP it keeps saying e1000g0 connected, gives the IP address, and then says it has been disconnected. I have also tried this on a Realtek NIC using the RTE driver. Also in VMWare workstation, I get the same error. What am I doing wrong?

Hi....I called Apple Tech again because my apple care ran out and I have to pay $49. for tech support, but which is good for 30 days for the same problem you called about.
I have NEVER had problems with it disconnecting before with my wireless network with my express as a remote base station off of my airport extreme....even if my computer went to sleep after inactivity.
What the tech guy told me today is that my computer does not support WPA personal security nor does the Express so we reset everything and it worked...and then bingo, it disconnected again and then reconnected.
I am wondering if there is someone in my apartment building with a 2.4 wireless phone or something which is causing me to disconnect as this can happen.
But, the weird thing is that this only started happening after I had it fixed at the the apple store which set me back $156.00.
I am pretty good at setting up my network....I also wonder if my Time Warner cable modem is causing it. I am going to call them to replace it and see if there are any changes.
It's just the thing that this only started happening after it was repaired at the apple store.
That makes me wonder what could have happened? The computer doesn't "die", it just knocks me off the network.
When you are setting up your network with Express and the Round older Airport Extreme, just make sure if you are using an older computer like my Powerbook G4, you only use WEP security encryption is what the Apple Tech Guy told me.
But then, when I have called three times to try to get this fixed, every tech person tells me something different to do.
Anyone have any other ideas?
I have set my computer to not go to sleep to try your idea.
Thanks...but does anyone else have any clued to what can be happening?
