Wireless internet disconnect problem in a network

We just set up a Roku Soundbridge so we can access both my music library & my husband's PC-based music library. We're connected through a wireless router that we don't have problems with. The challenge is that we both have our music on laptops, and I can't connect to my music if my laptop is closed.
I've already set it to never sleep, but my Airport disconnects when I flip down the screen (his PC stays connected...). I've looked at all of the Airport settings, all of my energy saver settings, sharing settings, anything I could brainstorm to be relevant via Mac Help & as much as I could stand to look through here. I've even tried to access my router's Admin settings, but I'm pretty sure it's my computer and not the router that's being the hassle.
What can I do to keep that access to my iTunes available?

Well...your computer has to be on and connected to your home network to share files.
When you close it....your computer assumes that you want to shut things down for a while...so it disconnects from the network and probably powers off the airport card.
Your husband's PC must have a configuration for closing the top and the computer is still active. (NOT ASLEEP)
There might be a setting or patch for keeping your Mac "Awake" when you close the lid, but I think you will have to leave the top open.
TOO FIND OUT
Make sure you post this question in another forum, say the G4 notebook forum. This is the forum for DESKTOPS not laptops.

Wireless internet disconnected when upgrade to itunes 8.1

Did anybody know why my wireless connected was disabled when I upgrade the itunes to 8.1. It totally remove my wireless connection from my computer. I have window xp sp3. Thanks,

I am having the same problem. I restarted my computer, router and modem a bunch of times and nothing worked. In a separate discussion "Topic : After upgrade 8.1 Itunes can't connect to Internet", they say it has to do with firewall software, particularly Norton or Symantec. It is recommended to remove the program using the Norton Removal Tool. However, my Dell came with McAfee and I looked on my list of programs and Norton is not listed. iTunes has full access to the internet in my McAfee firewall so I do not know what else to do. Anyone able to help?

Wireless internet keeps disconnecting. Anyone can fix????

Hi, when I connect wireless internet with airport, it works fine for about 30minutes to an hour. Then it suddenly stops responding even though the airport says that the wireless internet is connected.
Anyone know how to fix this?

Hi,
I had exact the same issue, my MacBook disconnected every 10 to 15 minutes and that made me crazy.
I have an application named CleanApp that suppose to uninstall in safe and clean way your applications. There are an option to clean your cache files and I did it and since then my wireless connection works smoothly and fine with no more issues. I do not know why but maybe this could work for you.
Here you have a link to CleanApp (http://www.synium.de/products/cleanapp/index.html)

HS-1200 breaks Wireless Internet access

FYI, I just installed and started using the HS-1200 yesterday and they are awesome. An unfortunate side effect is that it breaks the wireless internet in my house. Wireless routers and the headset both operate at 2.4GHZ and they don't play well together. I thought it may have been my Belkin N1 Vision router so I went out and bought a Linksys WRT310N and it does the same thing. The remote computer have trouble connecting and when they do they get around 1mbps. Turn off the headset and poof, back to 36-54mbps. I have open tickets now with all 3 parties involved so hopefully there is a fix, otherwise the $106 headphones have to go in the closet and that would really p_ss me off.
I can't believe that this problem didn't present itself anywhere in their testing and QA process.

Im having the same issue also SabreHawke. I use my HS-1200, with my desktop replacement laptop, and off and on, the wifi light indicator turns off then on. Never had this issue before. Been using wireless channel 2 for about 3 years now, w/ great connection. Not sure what channel the headset uses. I cant use the default channels, i think 6, 9, 11, cause once someone turns on the microwave it disconnects. Guess i'll try some others, but channel 2 has been the best. Other than this i love the headset, :-).
Edit: Did speakeasy speed test.
Normal (w/ headset off): Download ~10mbps w/ speedboost up to 16. Upload ~2mbps.
Headset On: Download ~1.5mbps. Upload ~1.0mbps.

New Laptop -- wireless internet halfway working?

I just got my new HP Pavilion dv4t Entertainment PC and everything has worked fine up until I wanted to connect to the internet. I double clicked the connector thing in the bottom right corner and chose the appropriate wireless network and filled in the correct password.
So it now shows that I am connected to my network ("Home") and I have full bars, however when I proceed to click on IE and load a simple page like "http://www.myspace.com" it fails to work. It pretends it's going to work and gets about half way done loading the page (according to the status bar, anyway) and then just stops and the site never loads. However, when I type in google/yahoo.com those pages come up perfectly (and fast) and I can search their search engines. But when I search something like "avg anti-virus" and the search engine displays the results I try to click the first one and it does the same freezing thing it did when I tried to type in "http://www.myspace.com"
I'm using comcast internet, a netgear router, and all of my other computers have connected to the wireless internet without a problem (all the other computers run on XP, though...)

Hi, This happens to me as well. I turn on computer Outlook recieves emails no problem but I go to internet and nothing. It looks like it loads the page sasy 'done' in corner but I stare a white screen. errrhhh. The only way for me to get internet is to disconnect/connect 2-3 times in a row. One time never works. Every other laptop in hosue including my 8 year old gateway connect first time. I tried to explain to best buy and they say nothing is wrong?? Other thant that I love my new laptop.

Why won't my MacBook connect to my wireless internet at home?

I'll try to give as many details as I can:
I'm a freshman in highschool & have a MacBook from my school that I use for the year. It's just a regular MacBook, not an air or anything. In class the other day, my computer froze up completely, so I used the command-option-escape, or whatever, to force shut down my machine. When I booted it back up at school, it worked just fine & connected to the internet. But when I brought it home, it wouldn't connect to my home wireless internet. It has always hooked up in the past perfectly fine. It's not a problem with the connection, because my Dell laptop & iPod touch connect off my wireless just fine. It's just this device. It also doesn't connect at my church, just at my school it works. I'm using en ethernet cord right now, but I'm confined to about 3 feet from my router, so I have to sit in one room.
I tried restarting it, shutting it down, zapping the PRAM, etc. I even brought it into my school's Help Desk, & the lady tried several things that didn't work. We tried deleting the name from my keychain & history, but it just does the same thing. There's an exclamation point over the wi-fi bar, & it shows that I have a full connection. It just doesn't connect. I have a MacBook, but I'm not sure what iOS it is. I know it's 4-something, but I don't know exactly, sorry.
Can anyone help? THANK YOU SO MUCH if you can.

These are suggestions for connecting an iPad. Some are also applicable to your MB.
Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) 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 or Channel 6 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.

Frequent internet disconnects for over a year

I have been suffering frequent disconnects from the internet for over a year. Each disconnect lasts for up to two minutes, rarely longer. Sometimes the disconnects have been as frequent as thirty or more times per hour. Sometimes I have no problems for many days.
I'm using HH5 and have Infinity 2 with a typical speed of circa 60mbps. Speed isn't an issue but the frequent disconnects are a pain. BT Broadband support have been unable to see the disconnects happening. As far as they are concerned, the line is fine.
If the disconnect happens when I'm using Google Chrome, I get a status message "Resolving Host" in the bottom left and, after a short delay, a screen appears saying "This webpage is not available. DNS Probe Finished. No Internet." Other devices, including BTTV, either give a message to the effect that there is no internet connection or just "hang". As far as I can tell, all devices, whether wired or wireless, 2.4GHz or 5GHz,, disconnect simultaneously.
I have tried disconnecting every device from the hub except the BTTV and the disconnects still happen.
BT have checked the line countless times, sent an engineer to my house, replaced my home hub three times, I have replaced all cables, replaced the phone/broadband socket, done countless resets etc all to no avail. The HH5 lights don't change colour when the internet connection drops.
After checking the BTCare Community Forums and discovering the event log in the HH5 I discovered that, when the disconnects occur, an "IN: BLOCK [16]..." message appears in the event log for the Firewall of the hub. At the end of this message I have copied a 12 hour firewall event log from today. Every "IN: BLOCK [16]..." event seems to coincide with an internet disconnect so that amounts to circa 40 disconnects in the past 12 hours.
What are these "IN: BLOCK [16]..." messages and why does my internet connection drop every time one of these messages appears? I checked the IP addresses for some of these "IN: BLOCK [16]..." messages. The first IP address in each message I checked was in China. The second IP address for each event I checked is BT in Boston, UK. My suspicion is that the BT server is logging me out every time one of these "IN: BLOCK [16]" events occurs. Logging back into the server then takes up to two minutes and, in the meantime, I have no internet connection.
BT Broadband support in India say that there is nothing they can do to address these internet dropout issues. They can only deal with line or hub faults. Their only suggestion was to disable the firewall on my HH5 but, given all these potential attacks from Chinese IP addresses, I refused to do this.
BTW, the HH5 IP address ending in 65 is my BTTV box.
I'd be grateful for any help and advice to resolve this issue. Here is the Firewall event log;

Ectophile - thank you for your reply. I tried the quiet line test and the line sounds good. There's no crackle or static. Just a very faint hiss if I turn the volume on my handset up full.
I've had three replacement hubs in the last year or so and they have made no difference to the frequency of the internet drop-outs.
The only fault that has been detected in all of this time was back in January when BTTV 2nd line support in the UK establish a link with my PC and monitored the connection. (They had a lot of difficulty establishing this connection and they were convinced I had no internet connection even though I did at that point). As a result of this monitoring and other testing, they diagnosed a very brief, intermittent drop out in the fibre-optic link between the surface box and the exchange. The 2nd line support engineer commented that this was a very strange fault because the fibre-optic connection normally either works or it doesn't.
He called out a BT engineer to investigate the fibre fault. This engineer told me that he had "reset" the fibre-optic link at the surface box. Having done this, he couldn't find a fault so visited my house, undertook line checks, replaced my HH4 with a HH5, checked out all wiring, tested the socket etc monitored for 20 minutes, couldn't find any further fault and left. The problems have continued however and BT India support just keep running their standard line tests and finding no fault.
I tried running a repeating ping test today using a tool called “WinPing”. I was using my BT email server for the ping test. The ping was set to 1 second intervals with the time-out set to a high level of 3000ms. I wasn’t using the internet at the time so I have no idea whether there is any correlation between the "timed-out" and/or slow response pings and the internet drop-outs that I have been suffering.
The eight and a half hour test gave an average ping time of 45ms but there was a lot of variability;
101 pings "timed-out" without a response (>3000ms).
6 pings were between 2000ms and 2999
23 pings were between >1500ms and 1999ms
87 pings were between 1000ms and 1499ms
139 pings were between 500ms and 999ms
66 pings were between 250ms and 499ms
428 pings were between 50ms and 249ms
680 pings were between 40ms and 49ms
12,296 pings were between 32ms and 39ms
There were no periods of more than a few seconds where WinPing couldn’t ping the server so this test doesn’t explain why I get the frequent drop-outs of up to 2 minutes unless perhaps the problem is caused by short drop-outs causing my connection to reset? The message I get on my Laptop / Google Chrome when the internet connection drops-out is a “Resolving Host” message at the bottom left and, after a short delay, a screen appears saying "This webpage is not available. DNS Probe Finished. No Internet." Other devices come back with various message to the effect that there is no internet connection, even though the HH5 light remains blue.
Do the ping test results indicate any particular issue or are these results normal?

Using Bootcamp Windows 7, my wireless internet stays connected most of the time, but occasionally says "no internet access", then reconnects after a period of time. How can I keep a stable connection?

I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate on Bootcamp. I've installed all Windows software, with all the drivers, and my wireless internet works fine. But, every once in awhile, it will say, "no internet access", and I'm unable to do anything until it restores. Like I've said, all the drivers have been installed, and they're both copied onto my desktop, and on a flash drive.
I need to keep a stable connection, because I only use my Windows partition for gaming, and when I get disconnected from the internet, I get booted from the game. Any advice?

what version of bootcamp you use to install all of the driver ?? is it the problem was from the beginning you installed windows or just now ?? or maybe you can try usb wifi to test the windows is not the problem..

T440p: internet disconnects when using BT mouse

Hi iphetamine and Jakoob,
Remember that this is users helping users here, moderated by volunteers like me. Although there is some Lenovo presence, they can't patrol the entire community. They do try to help with some of the broader issues.
Any possibility you're in a marginal WiFi reception area, and Bluetooth interferes with it?

Unable to connect Officejet 6500 and Wireless internet simultaneously in Snow Leopard

Hi,
I am using Mac OS Snow Leopard and Officejet 6500. Before upgrading to Snow Leopard, I was able to connect both my printer and my wireless internet simultaneously (Leopard OS). However, after upgrading to Snow Leopard, I'm able to connect only one of them at a time which is really very inconvenient. Whenever I need to print, I need to manually select "hpsetup" from the Airport drop down and wait for it connect. This disconnects my internet. Then I need to select my wireless internet option in the Airport drop down again once I'm done with the printing.
This is defeating the entire purpose of a wireless printer. Guessing that its a problem with HP developing the required driver for Snow Leopard. I've already downloaded the driver meant for Snow Leopard but this is not solving the problem.
Also, would like to know whether its a problem with everyone or specific to me?

OK, great questions. I'll try to address them by number:
2. I do not think this is possible. I think your printer was initially connected to your router and has recently fallen off (thus broadcasting 'hpsetup'). Sorry, I am not saying you are lying, but I do not think it is possible without two radios.
3. a. Yes, you can only talk to one device at a time through your computer's wireless radio.
3. b. You can attach your printer wirelessly in case you need to move it, but....see "c" below.
3. c. I would recommend that you attach your printer via a wired connection (Ethernet cable) to your router if you can. It is by far easier to set up and more reliable in the long run. I can help.
The wired and wireless sides of a router talk to each other. By the time it gets to the router it really does not care if the connection is by wire or wireless, it treats all "clients" the same. That is why I recommend to wire your printer to your router and keep a wireless connection between your computer and router.

Move computer Internet disconnects and won't reconnect.

My internet works fine if I keep my computer in one place, but the second I move it even an inch to the left or right the internet disconnects and airport shows i'm not connected to any wireless networks and won't let me turn airport back on. The only way for me to get back on the internet is to restart my computer. Also if my computer is in one place and i want to move to another room i have to turn the airport off, move to the other room, then turn airport on to reconnect to the network. If i just pick up the computer and walk to the other room the internet stops working and i have to restart my computer. Any way I can fix this or is this a hardware issue?

Having exactly the same problem on my 15inch 2011 Macbook after also going from 10.6.8 to Mavericks. Wifi is totally unresponsive and I can only get the internet working through an ethernet cable. Been looking for a fix for about a week now. Nothing i've seen suggested in the forums seems to work.
Really need to get this working again, as I rely on Wifi to use my mb at work.

Wireless internet trouble

After getting our new iBook, we decided to get a wireless router for wireless internet. First, we got a D-Link DI-624, which constantly disconnected and reconnected by itself and which we soon stopped using. We tried it with multiple firmwares, and we tried many, many times to get some help from both the D-Link and AT&T DSL customer supports, but got nothing. Then, we got a Netgear WGT624, which is better overall because of its range and its mostly better reliability. However, we still keep having (quite enraging) problems. For many minutes at a time, we will have NO wireless signal from it, and I know that it isn't the Airport Card or the signal range, because it picks up other signals and is within a yard of the router. This can get very annoying and is sometimes even disruptive to work. Please help -- we've gone through every setting, gone through hundreds of dollars of investments, and it isn't working. How can I solve this problem?

This sounds a lot like interference from some other source (another wireless router, a cordless phone, etc.)
You might want to try a third party application like iStumbler to see if the device appears completely off the air whenever you lose signal. For example, if you can normally see your router as well as one or two others, and your router suddenly goes away but you can still see the other two, that's indicative that it may be interference preventing you from seeing your router. If all the routers go away, that implies an issue with your machine or AirPort card, or really strong interference from another source.

My iMac is not staying connected to my wireless internet. Any suggestions? My provider says it's a computer issue and not their problem.

My iMac is not staying connected to the wireless internet. My provider tells me it's a computer issue and not their problems. Any suggestions?

Please test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Take the applicable steps in this support article. The Wireless Diagnostics program generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
Step 2
Disconnect all USB 3 devices. If you don't know which are USB 3, disconnect all USB devices except keyboard and mouse.
Step 3
If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. If you find that Wi-Fi works better with Bluetooth disabled, you should use the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band. Your router may not support it; in that case, you need a new router.
Step 4
Open the Network pane in System Preferences and make a note of your settings in the Wi-Fi service. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the various tabs in the preference pane. If the preference pane is locked, unlock it by clicking the padlock icon and entering your administrator password. Delete Wi-Fi from the service list on the left by selecting it and clicking the minus-sign button at the bottom. Then recreate the service by clicking the plus-sign button and following the prompts.
Step 5
Reset the System Management Controller.
Step 6
Reset the PRAM.
Step 7
Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first.
Step 8
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.

WRT54GS with SpeedBooster random internet disconnects

Hi all I'm new to the forums,
I have an issue with the WRT54GS router i bought a few days ago, my 2 desktop computers are wired connected, where as my laptop, xbox 360 and wii are wireless. Everything is connected correctly and the internet works, but at random times (from 10min - 1hr) the internet disconnects on me. I had to turn off the router and turn it back on to get the internet back, then again at random times it disconnects on me again and i have to repeat the process over again. Is there anyway to fix this? I've downloaded the latest firmware drivers from this site, V6 i think. Plz help me! i want to play xbox live without this

Hi… Reduce the MTU on this router to 1365. If you have DSL and you have configured PPPoE connection then make sure that you have selected “Keep Alive” option. For Xbox you need to assign a static IP on it and forward the ports 88 and 3074 for its IP address.

Wireless internet disconnecting!
