Wireless connection with limited range

My ibook g4 has very limited range when using our wireless network. I'm able to connect to the wireless router when I am right next to it, but when I move away a bit, the connection drops down to 1 or 0 bars. I have another Dell laptop that connects to the network fine in other rooms throughout the house, so I'm assuming the router is fine and something is not setup right on the ibook? I have updated all of the software already, but that didn't solve the problem. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Hi,
Welcome to the Discussions.
That usually indicates an improperly attached antenna. It take considerable force to get the connector all the way in. This article illustrates a properly attached antenna. The AE card is located below the keyboard. Pull back on the latches next to F1 and F11 and lay the KB upside down on the track pad.

Hi all,
Guess I understand what is going on as I'm also experiencing the problem.
Basically the issue is about the iPhone 4's personal hotspot.
I'm trying to hook on personal hotspot to my toshiba laptop but it couldnt work as the connection is limited to local only without Internet access.
The hotspot works well on other laptop and I-devices, but not my toshiba...
Hope to get assistance here. Thanks

New itouch user here, We had a wireless connection with a password all set up but we couldn't remember the password meanwhile there are other connections around us but locked. So i decided to make a new one yet it still will not allow to go on safari HELP

So i decided to make a new one yet it still will not allow to go on safari after i type in the password PLEASE HELP ive turned on and off etc

My guess is that the security settings on your router and iPod do not match.
For a test, change your router so there is no security. See if you can connect and get to the Internet. If that works, set up the router with security and use the same settings for the iPod.

Lost wireless connection with mx860

Did you solve your printer connection problem? I have the same issue. When I first turn the system on, it is connected. But after a short time (a few minutes?) it loses connection between Mac and printer, even tho both are connected to my WIFI. I have to turn the printer and and off to reconnect it to the Mac. Very frustrating. I have checked Netgear, Printer and Mac settings and can't find any explanation.

Any suggestions on retreiving wireless connection with airport extreme, have unlugged power to all sources and pressed reset button on router, still amber flashing light

Hello ebulloc,
It sounds like you are getting the flashing amber colored light and cannot connect to the internet with it. According to this article:

Startup is complete, but the Wi-Fi base station has detected a condition that requires your assistance. To resolve flashing amber status light conditions click here to learn more. Launch AirPort Utility to find out what conditions are being reported.

Zyxel pk500z router/wireless modem loses wireless connectivity with imac

My iMac loses wireless connectivity with wirelss internet from my Qwest ZyXel PK5000Z modem/router intermittently. Have to constantly reboot the router to allow my Imac and other Mac notebooks nto reconnect to wireless internet connection.

Suggest that you take one or more of Mac laptops down to the coffee place and connect there to check your performance. If you get a good connection there....as I suspect you will...you know the Macs are functioning correctly.
If the Macs perform well at the coffee place, you need to contact the ZyXel support folks for ideas on why the PK5000Z device is requiring constant restarts.
As you might imagine....on an Apple support forum, we are not going to be able to provide much help with a ZyXel product.

I keep losing my wireless connection after periods of inactivity - any solution? I recently installed a new wireless router with improved range.

I recently installed a Netgear Wireless router for improved reception, but now my macbook loses connection through Airport after periods of inactivity. We have another older Macbook in the house, and it never loses connection. I never had this problem with the previous Linksys router, just limited range. Any ideas what is causing this? It's frustrating to have to frequently shout down and re-boot. That so far is the only way I can re-connect.

Adjust the Wireless Settings on your linksys router...
Open an Internet Explorer browser page.In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1
Leave username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab on the Setup page- Here Wireless Network mode should be mixed- Provide any non linksys network name ....
Name (SSID) box- Set wireless channel to 11- And wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on "Save Settings" >>
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WPA, For Encryption, select AES...For Passphrase input your desired WPA Key. For example , MySecretKey , This will serve as your
network key whenever you connect to your wireless network.
Do NOT give this key to anyone.
Click on Advanced Wireless settings>>
Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304 Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings" ...

Unable to access wireless connection with linksys rooter WRT54GS

Hi,
I just installed a wireless rooter Linksys WRT54GS on my connection, The problem I have is being able to access it with my wireless on my laptop.
I kept getting a message stating "connection unindentified" "access limited". I've done most of what is already suggested on your forum such has turning the power off of my rooter, my modem and such and still nothing. I'm able to access the wireless with my girlfriend Mac Notebook, my playstation 3 and my desktop computer which uses Windows X. First I thought that it my be a problem with my security but even when the connection is unprotected I still get that error. I try to disable the IpV6but that didn'tdo anything either.
My laptop is a Toshiba Qosmio X300 PQX32C-033019 with Vista and my rooter is a Linksys WRT54GS vers. 6
Here's my connection log, sorry if it's in French:

Extremely Poor Wireless Connection with Macbook 1,1

Hi,
I've been trying to solve internet connection issues for a friends Macbook and I'm getting rather frustrated.
I'm using a White Macbook 1,1 and I've found that the wireless connection on it is extremely temperamental. The connection works perfectly with the cable so it's not my internet connection, and my wireless hub works fine with all other laptops that have connected to it.
So, the issue is the connection is extremely intermittent. It connects to my hub absolutely fine, but when surfing the connection becomes unreliable. Say you wish to go to a website then a quarter of the time it'll connect and download everything fine and quickly, the other 3/4 of the time it'll get stuck somewhere in the process. It normally gets past the DNS fine, and connects to the server and then sits there and waits for a response indefinitely.
I have searched the web and found numerous solutions involving changing wireless channels and modes which I have tried every possible combination of. I have ensured it's not a DNS issue. I tried all combinations of any super-speed mode and extended range features on my router (including everything off of course). I have tried it on other routers and internet connections, and ensured it's using the latest firmware. I have disabled any IPv6 modes on both router and laptop. I have altered positioning of my router to be in better positions/much closer to the laptop, to the extent where there is only a few inches between laptop and hub. None of this has helped.
There has been one tiny glimmer of hope and that was me upgrading the amount of memory in the machine from half a gig to 2 gig and a much larger hard drive and this has helped a little. Now it only fails 75% of the time instead of 99% of the time.
Can anyone help? Is there anyone experiencing the same issues? Is there any updated driver for the AirPort out there that may work better?
Please help, this is driving me up the wall. My router is a WGT624 v3 if that helps although I really don't think that is the issue as it happens with all connections.
Cheers, Dan

I had this same issue with my 1.1 MacBook about a year or so ago. I had AppleCare so it was fixed for free.
Turned out the wireless card was causing problems. Not sure if it was a bad connection or card, but replacing it has fixed the problem.
Good Luck.

How to secure wireless connection with additional laptop and ipod touch.

Hello,
We are new to Mac and struggling with internet security.
We have a wireless internet dongle that connects into a USB port and some days our ipod touch can connect other days it cant, I am never prompted for a password to connect. This morning we were setting up a new laptop for our daughter and it found our wireless network and informed us it was unsecured. So we assume anyone within range is utilising our wireless connection.
If I turn on firewalls it shuts off everything, if we look at airport we get even more confused.
Is there a simple way to resolve this so our internet connection is for our house only and new devises that try to connect need to enter a password.
Thank you for your help!

How can I resolve the issues connecting to my wireless connection with my Apple tv?

Ive had my Apple tv for about a month now & I still have not even used it for what I actually got it for. It allows me to use the airplay feature with my ipad2. But when I try to use the home sharing feature it never connects with my apple ID. At first I thought that maybe I'm just typing it the wrong way, but then I used the same ID and password to purchase an app on my iphone & it works. It's not my wireless connection because multiple devices connect to it just fine, without any issues. I tried reseting it, that obviously didnt work. I really just dont know what else to do.

you can't rely on airplay mirror some apps support the old in app airtune audio only option if the video app in question does you can do it from the apps settings somehow
if not then you need a airport express which does pretty much what airplay mirror on the Apple TV does but it's a audio only

Problem with connetction to wrt54g2 via wireless connection with WPA/WPA2 & wireless MAC filter

Hello,
I'm Alexey from Novosibirsk, Russia.
I have a problem with connection to wrt54g2 from my DELL D630 notebook via wireless connection. When I setup WPA/WPA2 in wireless security and wireless MAC filter I can't connect from notebook to WRT - in Windows I see that dynamic IP address from WRT is not assigned. When I switch off security mode to disable always OK, but I need a wireless security between DELL and WRT.
Connection via cable Ethernet port is OK.
Can You help me?

Have you tried the different laptop...?
Download 1.71 MB the firmware for WRT54G2 v1 and reflash the router's firmware.After reflashing/upgrading the router's firmware,reset the router for 30 seconds and reconfigure the router from scratch.

[SOLVED] No wireless connection with linux-3.2.2-1

After upgrading to linux-3.2.2-1, my wireless connection stopped working. It "connects", but I can't get an IP address through dhcp. Assigning an IP manually doesn't do the trick, I can't even reach the router through ping.
Downgrading to 3.2.1-2 fixes the issue.
I suspect this may be a regression but I couldn't find any information or reports of other people having the same problem anywhere.
I should note that I can establish a working connection when running the new kernel by using an external USB wireless device, so this probably has to do with the modules/drivers of my network card (?).
This is the ouput of some commands when running the new kernel (wlan1 is the device mentioned avobe):
