Wireless drop down every 10 minutes

I have Macbook air 11, I have problem with wireless connection, it drop down every 10minutes exactly. I tried everything to fix that with no use. manual solution is to turn off airport and turn it on again or renew the lease for your DHCP...Please help

The wireless network works fine on my three other PC's (with windows 7) plus my girlfriends laptop (with windowds 7). I have Mac OS X 10.6.7 on my MBA and still the same problem. I even had a friend on visit today which have a MBP with OS X 10.6.6, he also experienced dropping out of my wifi, but not on the same way as me on the MBA.
Is it so that OS X don't work with certain routers? Or is it a production error on my MBA? Feels stupid to buy a new router just because I have bought an Apple product.
You should try connecting to the internet using a router other than yours. Take your MBA to an Apple retail store or somewhere where WiFi is available. Surf the net for a couple of minutes and if you don't experience any connection drop then the problem is probably with your router.

  • SRP547W dropping ADSL every minute

    We installed one of these devices as our gateway a couple of weeks ago, flashed the firmware to 1.2.4(003) and it worked perfectly until this morning where it keeps resetting the ADSL every minute and losing the web interface to the unit.
    The log endlessly reports this:

  • HT4314 Is there a way to turn off game center achievements so they don't interrupt my games with a a drop down every time I open a game?

    Whenever I try to play Deer hunter every achievement I have gotten drops down one by one and takes up a good section of my screen. That section of screen that it uses for about a minute is the area where the back button is and where other important controls are. It is extremely frustrating. I have gone through all the notification settings and game center seeting and turned everything off that has to do with notification drop downs and it still does it. Anyone have a suggestion?

    Hi,
    Genius is required for iTunes Match to work.

  • Battery going down every minute.. 2011 MBP.

    I have a 15" Pro 2011 (early) i7, 8 GB Ram.
    My battery goes down 1% every minute.... So If I use my MBP for 100 minutes, the battery is dead....
    I have closed everything off, apart from safari. Screen brightness is at 6 blocks.. Even though it tells me I have 3:49 left...
    Any explenations?
    It's all updated with the latest updates.

    I just wanted to follow up with an update about the problem I was experiencing. It turns out I bought a wonderful macbook pro with a defective logic board I'm not sure how that gets by quality control, this is my first Mac and needless to say I'm not impressed the computer has been with an authorized Mac reseller and repair place thats still waiting on parts from Apple after 5 days another area I'm not impressed with as they said Apple did not ship parts to Canada this is a brand new computer about two weeks old now. I would recommend to anyone that is having the same problems to take your computer to an authorized apple store or repair depot and get it checked out. Now the question I have is with a problem like that would it have damaged other parts of the computer?
    As a refresher the symptoms I had with the computer out of the box was the charge indicator would alternate between amber and green on the mag safe and the tooltip on the display would alternate between saying charging then to not charging while the battery discharged with the computer plugged in. Some programs made this behavior more rapid those programs that seemed to trigger a more rapid display of the symptoms was playing World of warcraft,iTunes,Safari,Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC)though if these programs were not running the problem would happen it was just a bit slower in developing. I Have the mac book pro spring 2011 17 2.2Ghz i7 model.

  • Wireless drops out every evening!

    About two months ago the wireless connection on the BB2 router started dropping between about 7pm to 9.30pm every night! I phoned ee about it and after much fiddling about with settings etc they sent me a new router. It was OK for a couple of nights but now the same thing is happening again.  It's between 7pm to 9.30pm is when the wifi connection is most needed. During these times I've tried all manner of ways to try and connect our phones and tablets to no avail. They just sit there saying there's an authentication error even when there's no wireless security. One of the tablets, a Samsung Galaxy Pro, sometimes reports that the wifi signal quality is bad. During this time the wired connection on the desktop and laptop is the usual ee fibre quality, connects instantly to a few web pages and then randomly hangs when you try and load up Google! I so wish Virgin were in our area. Never a problem with their service. Ever! Anyone got any idea what is going on? I'm paying £30 a month for this rubbish!

  • Wireless drop outs: draytek vigor 2600: macbook pro: channel 6

    Hi all
    Thought I'd drop this is, as it may help others??
    I've been having real problems with unstable wireless drop outs, it's been driving me barmy!
    I've been using a draytek vigor 2600 plus, when connected via ethernet, it's brilliant, use wireless and it *****, with drop outs every minute or so, and when it does connect the strength is shocking even though my router is above me, about 6 foot!
    I used www.istumbler.net/ and found that my next door neighbour has his router on channel 6... same as mine, since this I've changed to channel 12 and now signal strength is full (on the airport logo) and haven't had a drop out for hours...
    I'll post again if the status changes, but give it a try if you are having problems similar...
    hope this helps.
    Az

    I have been having the same issue for the last two weeks. No real indication as to why it ever began other than I had turned off my router and Airport Extreme Base Station off for a weekend while I was away from my place.
    iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, all have no issues at all with my Airport Extreme Base Station. Can stay connected throughout my living room, bathroom, bedroom, no issues whatsoever.
    My 5 month old MacBook Pro 2.66 GHz Core i7 Airport is sometimes perfect, able to connect, DHCP, and browse without issue. Then, for no reason, I won't be able to join my wireless network, or when I can join, I can't pick up an IP address. And then it will connect, pick up and IP, and then it won't browse. No real rhyme or reason to when this will happen, or when it works.
    I thought that it was an issue with my MacBook Pro, but then my sister visited with her brand new MacBook Pro 2.26 Intel Core 2 Duo, and while a month ago she was able to connect, DHCP, and browse without issue, this weekend she had all of the same issues I was having.
    My XBOX 360 and MacBook Pro have absolutely no issues with the wired connection. Only my WAN seems to have this issue.
    Did you ever find anything more to this?

  • Time capsule keeps dropping ethernet connection to BT Voyager every minute

    I have just bought a 1TB TC to get the benefit of better wireless and the backup facility all in one. Previously I used a BT Voyager 2110 as ADSL modem and wireless router. I have set up the TC to connect from the WAN port to the LAN port on the BT router, put TC in bridge mode, and disabled wireless on the BT voyager. This means the BT Voyager does all the DCHP config and PPPoA, transmits this to the TC via ethernet and then TC broadcasts this on wireless. So far so good.
    The TC works with this ok, but for whatever reason keeps losing the ethernet connection every minute or so. Literally almost flickering from amber light ('ethernet cable unplugged' for about 1-2 seconds) then back to green light sometimes several times a minute. This means I get no continuous or stable connection, e.g. for downloading/gaming online. The same happens if the BT router is in bridge mode and the TC configures the PPPoA itself - it has to 'renegotiate' every minute or so, which is very frustrating.
    The ethernet cable is fine (I have tried two different cables), and each works with no problem if iMac is connected to TC (no internet though obviously), or if iMac is connected via LAN to the router for direct internet access - the network settings in system preferences shows no similar frequent loss of connection. The problem only seems to arise as between BT router and TC via ethernet. I have done resets of both the TC and the router, both are on the latest firmware updates as well so I am now at a loss. If anyone can help it would be really appreciated! Thanks.

    Hi there, thanks for your quick reply.
    Well I'm not actually trying to get the TC to do that function, merely to wirelessly broadcast what has been negotiated by the BT Router. I.e. the router is not a bridge letting the TC do the work, but rather the router has all the settings and then this is just fed down the ethernet, just like it would be to a computer.
    Connection settings have always been 'connect using' ethernet, and 'connection sharing' is off (bridge mode).
    The thing is that this config clearly does work as I can get internet access, but I can't work out why the ethernet connection is dropped so frequently (and at all) which means I have no stable connection.
    I have tried changing the router to PPPoE, which still gives me internet access but does not resolve the problem of the ethernet connection being dropped.

  • Wireless drops every 25 seconds

    Or so...this is very odd. I have noticed that my powerbook has very irregular internet access speeds. That is, if I am downloading somehting, it would alternate between downloading quickly and slowly every minute or so. This is true no matter what wireless network I am on (Starbucks, University, or my home).
    I finally downloaded the Airport Client Monitor, and see that, while the graph showing the signal strength looks okay, the one showing transmit rate looks like a mountain range - sometimes it is very regular (drops to zero every 25 seconds), other times it is irregular (anywhere from a couple of seconds of normal speed to several minutes worth).
    Any ideas? It is horribly frustrating.

    hehehe.... Yeah, I give suggestions first then ask the troubleshooting questions!
    Hmm.. No cron jobs. Doesn't look like it. Nope. This started happening yesterday. Only yesterday and today. Just this, nothing else.
    Very frustrating.

    I'm not techinal so please bear with me. I don't have the bar that allows me to type in a website. I did have a few minutes ago. When I make the page full screen and move my cursor to the top of the page, the bar drops down and I can use it. I've tried restarting my computer, didn't work. Help!

    Well I figured it out, right click the arrow that makes the screen bigger and unclick the Hide Toolbar. I knew it couldn't be that hard.

  • Every single website, or link within a website page is being added to my location bar/address bar drop down menu. How can I stop this? This just started happening.

    Every single website url address, or url address within a website page is being added to my location bar/address bar drop down menu.
    I don't want everything added or saved in the location bar. Only urls that I used a lot used to be saved there but now every single url (and url within a url)I visit is being added to it.
    How can I stop this? This just started happening.
    I'm sure it's a simple browser setting but I've checked and nothing gives an option to control this.

    A possibility is to open the links via the right-click context menu or a middle-click in a new tab to make sure that Firefox sees them as regular links.

  • My drop-down list won't appear anymore so every time I want to go to a new site I have to type it in where before my drop-down box would appear and I could just click it and hit search and go there how do I make my drop-down box come back

    somehow I must've clicked a button that took away my drop down box when I go to use my Google search so different sites that I go to a lot I would always just click it when the drop-down box came up I would click again and hit search and you would bring that page up but even if I go to a site once I leave that I try to click and make the drop-down box come up again with the new search and it nothing happens so the problem is I need my drop down box to come back up to all the places that I visit kind of like a history of like I said I would just click and it would come up by itself now the drop-down box won't come up anymore so I need somebody to tell me what to do to bring my drop-down box back also I am new to computers so I don't know a lot so don't be real technical thanks for the help merry Christmas from Joe

    It's not a matter of me assuming to restore it, once the error comes up, the only next step I can do is to restore it. I can't access any of the iphones settings in itunes or anything, it's a mandatory restore. If I just cancel the sync (before restoring) and disconnect the phone, all my apps crash on opening: aka unusable phone. So I have literally no choice but to restore every time the error shows up if I want my phone to work.
    I have no idea where I may have duplicate files as it doesn't tell me, so if that is the problem (which I don't think it is) then I don't know where I have to go to delete the duplicates.
    And the duplicate file error still doesn't explain why leaving iTunes to restore the phone doesn't work and me having to drag the window around. I know it sounds utterly ridiculous, my friend didn't believe me when I told him either but then I showed him and he was as confused as I am. If I just leave the restore to do its own thing at it's own pace, it will loa maybe 20% then fail for whatever reason.

  • Recent freezing and shutting down every down 10-15 minutes and hard to log in to internet very slow

    My son has 2009 Macbook white version and recently (last week or so) freezing all the time, cannot log on to internet, and shuts down every 10-15 minutes. Is there a download (free hopefully to clean it up for any spyware or maleware). He is a student and very busy in University and cannot be without the computer?

    He will need something to back up onto like an external hard drive. The disks are necessary if the hard drive needs to be repaired, you can't repair the boot volume so you need to start up from an install disc and run Disk Utility from there. When you talk to him have him resettle SMC and pram, sometimes unexpected shutdowns can be corrected that way. The freezing is another issue, I'm concerned with the health of his hard drive. Another thing to ask when you talk to him is how much total space and how much free space does his hard drive have?

    Aperture 3 shuts down every time I try to use it after only using it for one minute. Aperture closes then a pop up screen asks if I want to reopen Aperture. If somrone at Aperture didn't keep pushing a stop button for it to close,Apple wouldn't need to ask the stupid question"Do you want to reopen Aperture?" to begin with. Anyone out there having the same annoying problem?? I like Aperture or used to anyway,but if this nonsense continues, I will be forced to buy some other editor besides "No hanging fruit - Adobe photoshop CS5" or "I don't like you so I'm shutting down - Aperture".

    Hello,
    sorry to hear about your troubles, but we will need to have more technical information about your problem to be able to help you:
    There may be several reasons that can cause Aperture to crash on start up:
    You may have imported an image (or video) in an encoding that Aperture does not support, or that is larger than 2 GB, or that is corrupted and Aperture cannot process it
    Your Aperture Library or Preferences may have been corrupted
    Or you are having a system wide problem with your machine.
    Or you may simple be running out of disk space.
    It would help, if you could post the crash log from your last crash. Also, more details on your Aperture Library: Is it managed or references? how large is it? Is it on your system drive or on an external drive?
    What have you done, shortly before the trouble started? Have you imported new images or videos? Did you install any plug-ins or any new software, lile Final Cut?
    Try, if you can get Aperture to launch, if you defer the generation of Previews: Hold down the SHIFT-key immediately after you start Aperture to prevent preview generation for that session. If a damaged image in your library is preventing normal opening, this may allow you to start Aperture. If this succeeds, try to identify the broken image or video among the images you recently imported and remove it from the library.

  • I dropped my iphone 3gs in water and grabbed it immediately out. It gave me a charger is not supported with device screen every minute or two. I powered it off for the night. I havent experienced problems since. Why does it still work?

    I dropped my iphone 3gs in water and grabbed it immediately out. It gave me a charger not supported sign every minute or two. I decided to turn it off for the night and the next morning it worked fine and only the bottom sensor was triggered. Why does it still work and how long will it last?

    Water in itself will not kill electronic components if you let it dry out.  Your first reaction to turn it off was a good one but you could have waited even longer.
    It also depends what's on your water that will stay after the water itself had dried; like salt. Anything that iseither acid or conductor left on the circuit board will reduce the life of the board.  Given said this, no one could state how long your iPhone will work since no one will know for sure where the water had time to infiltrate before you removed your device and no one what's may left there.
    Consider yourself lucky.  I don't understand however what you mean by a sensor triggered.
