Wireless slows or drops when wired machine accesses internet

This just started after updating both machines to leopard.
I have a mini connected via ethernet to my AEBS extreme and a macbook pro connected wirelessly. when the mini accesses the internet the connection on my macbook pro either slows to almost nothing or cannot connect to server. the mini maintains a normal fast connection speed and the connection on the macbook pro looks fine in system prefs. the normal connection speed will resume after the mini has stopped using the internet for about 5 minutes.
it seems like the AEBS extreme is giving priority to the hardwired mini but nothing in the base stations settings indicate this. any ideas?
it's really annoying when I'm trying to work and my roommate is watching youtube or something...

Hi… logon to router’s setup page, try changing wireless channel to 1 or 11, go to advanced wireless settings reduce beacon interval to 50, fragmentation and RTS threshold to 2304, change Transmission rate to 54 MBps…also try upgrading latest firmware on router, check whether it makes any difference or not.

3G drops to one bar accessing internet

Hi all,
I posted this in another forum but thought I would post here to see if someone from Verizon might be monitoring and could help us. We got our Fascinate in December and we have always seemed to have a buggy 3G connection. A few things going on: one, we have never seen full signal strength on our phone, ever. I think the most we have seen is 3 bars. But more importantly, we have a strange thing happening when trying to access any Internet applications (browser, Facebook, etc). As soon as we click the icon, the bars drop down to either 1 or none. I understand that sometimes the strength indicator isn't necessarily always accurate...but half the time our pages are loading slow or not loading at all. It feels like for whatever reason the signal is indeed dropping as soon as we try to connect. I have a blackberry through verizon for work and sit it right next to the Fascinate and show full strength where the Fascinate shows maybe a bar or two. This happened before the 2.2 update and is still happening after the update.
Verizon had us reset the phone a couple of days ago and I have done the *228 a few times. We still have the issue. They are sending us a replacement phone. I thought I had seen postings from others who had issues and were able to get tech support to do something around resetting their "data connection" (whatever that means).
Any ideas what might be causing the drop to one or no signal bars with internet access? If I am paying $30 for this a month, I should be able to access it whenever I want at decent speeds.

Thank you for your inquiry. The signal strength is based on the area you are in and the phone itself. Normally, resetting the data connection won't increase signal. It will help if you are getting no data at all in an area you should. It is not a known issue for the Fascinate to get significantly lower signal or drop bars when going to the internet. In this case it does sound like this is an equipment issue. Are you seeing this issue with the replacement phone?

WRT110 Only provides wireless to other computers when wired to a separate laptop

This never seemed to happen on our old computers, but now that my fiancee and I are both running Windows 7 and switched our Internet Service Provider, here is our problem:
Every time I try to open my laptop and connect to our router, it connects, but has limited or no connectivity. I cannot navigate the internet. If I cycle the router and modem, I can usually connect to the internet, but only after about 5 or 10 minutes of cycling and re-cycling. If plug in ethernet directly to modem, I have internet; and if I plug in ethernet directly to router, I have internet, and other laptops are now able to get internet connectivity through wirelessly connecting to the router. Otherwise, they are unable to as well. Why does this happen? I completely reset my router to factory defaults and reset the passwords and all, but to no avail. Anyone please help. I'll answer any questions to provide more info.

Well, the reason your old computers had no issues is, maybe, you changed your computers, your ISP AND Operating Systems?
Is the modem new also or is it the same one you used with your old computers? Are the modem AND the WRT110 the same ones?
Are you saying if you connect ONE computer via ethernet to the router then the other one's can connect to the router via wireless. Are you sure they aren't using your computer as a host?(Internet sharing). If you hook any of the other computers up to router via ethernet can the others connect wireless also? Can ALL the computers connect to the router and the internet via ethernet?
If you are using any "Auto-Config" setup then you might try setting the router and conmputers manually.
Sorry I can't help more....

Computer tend to freeze when accessing internet with D-Link dir-655 router

I recently bought a D-Link dir-655 router and since then my computer tend to freeze up completely when accessing internet. This also happens when certain programs access internet. Otherwise I am usually using Internet Explorer or Opera.
I've found that there are many who experience problems with D-Link router, that they may have problems with certain network card. Anyone who can say if this is a known issues and if it there is a solution or if it is better to buy another router?

Hi, Ernst:
Would you consider backing up your files and doing a system recovery?
Maybe the OS has some corrupt registry files or something.
If you recover and then it still does that, your only choice looking at the motherboard is a PCIe gigabit ethernet adapter which would be relatively easy to install, or you could even get a USB ethernet adapter and not even have to open the case.
See if there is a setting to disable the onboard NIC if you have to add a network card.
I would rule out all software problems before buying hardware.
If you want to try some other malware program, I recommend the free Kapersky rescue disk. You burn the file to a CD and boot from it. It scans the drive and deletes any malware or virus files it finds without the PC being in windows. A lot of times viruses and malware can't be removed when windows is running.
Link to the download and instuctions for use is below. I like to use the graphic interface rather than the text interface.

Problem accessing internet after installing Lion

Hello,
I just installed Lion to my Mac (Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3), and somehow I now seem to have trouble accessing internet. I use Wi-fi, and the actual connection with our internetprovider works just fine (we have other computers in the house, and have not experienced any trouble with them). When I want to use internet I have to go to the network panel, click on "help me", and run a diagnostics. After that, I have no problem assessing internet.
I am SO sorry I am not able to explain my problem any better in english, but I do hope someone can help me sort this out, as it is most annoying.
Hopsi Daisy

Sorry, my bad for not explaining good enough!
When I start the diagnostics, the networkstatus on my left indicates with green dots that everything up until networkprovider is OK (Wi-Fi settings and network settings are all green)
Networkprovider is marked with a yellow dot, and internet and servant (? - not sure of the english word here!) are both red, indicating they do not work.
I then run the diagnostics, no problems encountered, and I am up and running. It does not say what the problem is, nor do I get any indications that something is wrong when trying to access internet in the first place (other than that it will not let me in to the pages I am trying to visit)
This happens everytime I for some reason restart the computer, or if I have been offline for a while (e.g. throughout the night). No problems once I am online.
Never had any such problems until I installed Lion.

Loop drops when connected wireless (NI 9191)

Hi,
I cannot figure out why a NI cDAQ 9191 chassis has connection drops when connected wireless and works
perfectly when connected thru LAN.
I wrote a little test VI to check the connection accuracy. The chassis has a NI 9375 I/O module plugged in.
A Moxa AWK3121 is used as wireles access point. What I do is check 5 digital inputs and control 3 digital outputs.
The outputs are continuously placed on/off at a different rate. I use an event loop and a main loopt that communicates
to the chassis at a loop rate of 10ms.
The chassis, laptop and Moxa A.P. are all close together on my desk. The Wifi signal is excellent.
Now, the code i written is probably not optimal.
But... If I start with connecting the chassis with a LAN cable to my laptop, Wifi Disabled, Linked Local. The communication is perfect.
No drops between the loops and the real time.
No communication errors. Runtime was 52 minutes.
Second test. Connected the chassis to the Moxa A.P. with LAN cable. Laptop connected wireless to the Moxa A.P.
Chassis still in Link Local. Ik can access the chassis in MAX. No problem.
When I run my test, I immediately see loop pauzes. After one minute there can be already a difference of 20 sec.
between calculated looptime and real time. Sometimes the active light on the chassis goes off and on.
When the active light is out, the loop is on hold. (Wich is normal as I assume the DAQ VI's are waiting for response.)
After appr.10 minutes the error -50405 "No Transfer in progress because transfer was aborted by client".
If I look at the timings there is already a difference of more then 5 minutes between the loop timing and the real time.
As last I tested with the chassis and the PC connected wireless to the Moxa A.P.
I did not get the -50405 error, but again loop drops. After 10 minutes there was a shift of 2 minutes.
Has anyone experience with wireless connections with the NI 9191 chassis?
Can I change my code? Did I mis something? (I'm a newbie to Labview)
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Frankie.

I am not clear on whether you are connecting the two together "in it's own little network" (which implies "router" and not "AP") or if you are connecting to the LAN through the wireless device (in which case it is entirely appropriate to refer to the wireelss device as an "AP"). Your last post about hot spots is what confused me.
But as you said, the biggest worry is the active light. Try using a different router/AP. I've seen routers overheat and reset themselves before due to inadequate heat sinking. i.e., Someone (not me, I swear!) dropped the AP and knocked the heat sink off the chip.
As for the delay, if you are indeed using the Moxa as an AP, are you sure you're connecting to your AP? If you're connected to a hotspot instead, your throughput will be at least halved - and maybe even 1/4 bandwidth if your AP happens to have connected to a different hotspot than you did. If you are using it as a router, try differnt bands or channels to see if you can get around any interference your company wireless network might be generating.
In general, conclude that wireless isn't the best way to connect test devices together.

How do you sync a wireless mouse when u cant access anything?

how is it possible to syn a wireless mouse when u cant access anything on your mac mini without a mouse connected? its like dead in the water without a wired mouse.

If the mouse is working, it should pair automatically when you reboot, which you can do by holding down the power button for a few seconds.

Wireless connections are unusable (slowdown) when Wired connection is being used?

Why do Wifi connections slow down to a unusable when the Wired connection is being used continuously (e.g. downloading software, media, large files)?
How do I stop this?
I don't want the Wired connection to have some form of SuperGod priority over Wireless connections.
We are using the Linksys WRT54GL router
Ping/Latency times go from less than 100ms, when Wired connection is downloading, it shoots up to 550ms+ to over 1 second.
Websites just time out or take 5 minutes to load a broken form of it as if it half the HTML cut off in random places and the stylesheet is missing.
Download speed goes from 15Mb/s to .2 Mb/s
Online games are unplayable. I die before I can get the chance to move or attack.

Thanks.
Is that the only way it will work, device-MAC address one?
What does Ethernet Port priority do?
I enabled QoS with its default setting on which has all the Ethernet ports set to Low and it did absolutely nothing to improve usability.
Does Wired QoS have any effect on Wireless connections?
Does the field for Optimizing Game Apps affect applications on computers using a Wireless connection?
There is a Wireless QoS section... However it doesn't have any options in it to select devices, port priority, or anything...?
What does enabling WMM Support do?

Wireless devices keep dropping, Wired works 24/7

Hi,
We have had bt infinity in our home for a few months now, and only in the past few weeks we have been having constant problems with wireless devices. We have one computer wired, one wireless and a few other devices such as tablets phones etc. The connection on all the wireless devices keeps dropping with no response, while the wired one is still working perfectly. The problem is becoming more frequent than ever, I spoke to tech support at BT who told me to log onto my router and change the channel to 11 but since then, zero improvements.
When i troubleshooted the internet connection problem on the wireless pc, i got the message
" internet connection doesnt have a valid ip configuration"
Can anyone help? or is my hub giving up the ghost?
Thanks!

There is some help on this page.

Hello All,
we have created shared folder on multiple client machine in domain environment on different 2 OS like-XP,Vista, etc.
from some day's When we facing problem when we are access from host name that shared folder is accessible but same time same computer when we are trying to access the share folder with IP it asking for credentials i have type again and again
correct credential but unable to access that. If i re-share the folder then we are access it but when we are restarted the system then same problem is occurring.
I have checked IP,DNS,Gateway and more each & everything is well.
Pls suggest us.
Pankaj Kumar

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that the same shared folder can be accessed by name, but can’t be accessed be IP address and asks for credentials.
Please try to enable the option below on the device which has shared folder:
Besides, check the Advanced Shring settings of shared folder and confrim that if there is any limitation settings.

Eve Wang

When using Time Machine, if I delete items from my computer, will they still be backed up to access later on my external hard drive? In other words, when time machine backs up again, will it delete the files from the back up?

When using Time Machine, if I delete items from my computer, will they still be backed up to access later on my external hard drive?
In other words, when time machine backs up again, will it delete the files from the back up that I have deleted from my computer?

No, I do not believe so. Time Machine would keep all those now-deleted files in previous backups, and as time goes by those backups might be deleted if you needed room, but it would still keep one backup from each day in last month, as well as one from each week forever, as long as you don't start running out of room, then just the oldest would be deleted to make room if needed.
I use a backup drive about double the size of my drive to be backed up, so I would guess it will never get to the point where deleted files being replaced by new ones being backed fill up that drive to the point where backups actually have to get deleted.

Wireless Connection drops when I close my Macbook

I recently hooked up Airport Express as my wireless router - supporting a Macbook, iPhone 4S, iPad, an HP printer and a Nintendo Wii. I thought everything was fine, and then I noticed that the connection seems to drop when I close the lid of my MacBook (was watching a movie streaming on the Wii through Amazon Instant Video, and noticed the video stopped every time I shut my MacBook). Any suggestions to alleviate this?
(have not tested yet to see if WiFi on the iPhone or iPad are affected by shutting down the MacBook)
(Environment is a one bedroom apartment, no walls between the Express and the Wii)

Did u solve ur problem, im having the same issue!! and its getting me mad LOL

How to invalidate old sessions when new user access appl on same machine

hi all,
I am using Mozilla browser to access my web application.User one access my application using his credentials .but i left that browser open.after that I am opening the another Mozilla window and accessing my application using different credentials ex:user2 credentials .user 2 also can access my application.but when i open the first browser ..am automatically getting second user session.how can we avoid this problem.
Application is using session identifier(jSessionID) as the URL parameter for session management.
is it possible to invalidate the old session when new user access on same machine.
thanks,
Vishnu

Either you explained it the wrong way (or I interpreted it the wrong way), or there's huge bug in your login/logout logic. After opening another window inside the same session, you should still be logged in as the first user.

WRT610n VPN / exchange issue can't connect to server when wired (works wireless)

I had issues with connecting to my exchange server over the internet and while still in warranty I got assistance to fix that issue. What I did not notice then or maybe it started later when I have tried to do the same thing directly wired to the router ( for faster updating) I can't make the connection. It seems truly bizarre that it would work wirelessly but not when wired. I'm now out of warranty and they want me to pay to have them give me the settings needed to make it work.

Reduce MTU value to 1365 on the router.Also,do port trigerring for the ports number 47,443-447,500,1723,2350 on the router.

When Time Machine is backing up, my computer is so slow that it is essentially useless. Backups occur irregularly, and take a long time.
