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....

  • 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.

  • HT1338 my wireless keyboard keeps disconnecting for no reason, I press the side button and it connects again.  Frustrating.

    My wireless keyboard keeps disconnecting for no reason.  Frustrating especially when you are going full on and nothing there.  I press the button on the side and it connects again.  Happening more frequently.  Purchased in March. 
    Any ideas would be most appreciated.

    I just have to ask, Is the battery due to be replaced by any chance?
    Hope this helps

  • 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.

  • 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

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Bluetooth wireless keyboard keeps disconnecting

    Hello,
    My wireless keyboard {small aluminum, no numeric pad}  keeps disconnecting after i changed the batteries yesterday - the keyboard is found and paired to my iMac, however whenever i press the Command key, it disconnects if i press the space bar it outputs a space followed by the letter 'n' {like so " n"} also i cannot use the delete key, very strange!
    I have tried resetting the PRAM, disconnecting the keyboard and starting over, but still getting the same problems, any ideas on how i can fix this?
    KR,
    Aaron

    Hello:
    Try a couple of things:
    1.  Reset the SMC (you already have reset the PRAM).
    2.  Trash a preference file (com.apple.bluetooth.plist) and then restart.
    3.  Make the KB a favorite.
    If none of that helps, try removing and then replacing the batteries.
    If none of that works, I would suspect a failing KB.

  • 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 keyboard keeps disconnecting

    So my family and I have a late 2009 Mac mini with a wireless keyboard and wireless mouse the mouse won't let you scroll up (it's a Magic Mouse) and won't let you do any trackpad functions. I think this is just because the Mac is so old that this is programmed out of the software (sounds like apple). Well the keyboard is realtively new 2012 or so maybe 13 but it connects to the Mac and after a few moments it types or deletes a ton of letters that I typed I spent an hour of work on an essay and the keyboard just deleted it all then it loses connection and does the same thing when it reconnects. The keyboard has 100% battery level I've changed the batteries and that didn't help I turned off the Mac that didn't help and I've try odd just having the keyboard on and that didn't do anything so it's not the blue tooth frequency. I'm wondering if this is covered under the apple care protection plan I bought for my other Mac which is notorious for breaking even though it's a Mac with retnia. So my questions are what the **** is up with the keyboard and should the mouse not be able to scroll also if this is a hardware related issue is this covered under an apple care protection plan? Thanks

    Yea i tried this on my Macbook pro and it does the same thing i tried to look up the serial number but its one of those 17 digit ones that dont fit in the line, but i do think there is something wronk with the mini i will try a hardware check on it the next time to see if anything is wrong with the hardware.

  • 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.
