WLAN signal loosing every 3 seconds

Hi, can anyone help me?
Im not technical at all and have had a laptop bought me for Christmas, have received wireless router from virgin and tried too get the laptop up and running, after numerous attempts with virgins help they have told me that I cant get on wirelessly with this laptop because it has a wireless adapter WEP enabled and it needs too be WPA enabled.
My friend has had a look at this and did get it working on the internet wirelessly but it keeps losing the signal every 2/3 seconds it just keeps connecting and disconnecting. Im already sick of ringing Virgin and dont know where else too turn.
It is a PSLB9E - 009007EN model and it has been installed with Windows XP not Vista!
Really would appreciate any help or advice anyone can give me.
Thank you

Hi,
I have had the exact same probleme when I bought my laptop (Satellite Pro M70).
Finally the shop fixed it for my by updating the driver of the Wlan adapter. They also gave me a CD with the updated driver and an manual how to install it.
Unfortunately, I lost the CD.
My workaround now is, to use the Intel driver "IntelPro Set wireless"
It works without any problem, and you can also set up profiles etc.
If I disable the Intel driver, and change back to the windows onboard driver, the problem reoccurs.
Hope it helps
Best regards

  • I am sampling a signal at 1kHz for every 1 second. How do i average the signal for N seconds?

    I am sampling a signal at 1kHz for 1 second. After one second of pause, i sample again for 1 second at 1kHz. If i do this for Nth time, how do i average the signal over the 1 second period?

    Anyway you need to have the data to compute the average... and usually you don't get the data point-by-point unless it is very low frequency acquisition.
    If it is the case, you have to update your 2D vector point by point and then compute the average after each new point (much slower process indeed). You keep say 20 vectors of data and fill in the data (1, 2...20) and then( 1,2..20), so you compute the average on the last 20 acquisitions

  • IPod Touch 3G loses wifi every few seconds

    I just purchased a new Touch 3G last night, and every few seconds it loses the wifi connection and reconnects. It does this over and over again consistently. When i go into wifi settings, i can actually see the settings for my wireless disappear, then reappear with a check mark beside it, every few seconds.
    I've tried changing broadcast channel in router, from mixed to non-mixed G, resetting the router and iTouch, and release/renew. My laptop and desktop are connecting fine with the wireless, so i assume the issue is with the iTouch.
    3.1.1 OS

    Just recently purchased and mine does the same exact thing. Mine seems to show a strong 3 bar connection while in the WiFi settings menu. When I back out to Home, the signal indicator suddenly drops to one bar and will flucuate to 2 or 1 bar. I have done all the tricks mentioned here with my router as well. But in my home I use assigned static IP's. Every setting is correct on the iPod Touch's menu. Im lost as to why it does that.

  • WRT54GS Resets Every 5 Seconds?

    So after a year of solid useage, my WRT54GS has encountered a serious problem.  The router seems to reset every 8 seconds.  The process looks as follows.
    The Power button flashes and Internet button stays solid for the entire process
    After 5 seconds, the WLAN comes on for 1 second
    Then the Cisco Systems light comes on Amber for 1 second
    Then Ethernet lights 1-4 flash for another second
    The process repeats indefinitely.
    I can't seem to upload new firmware b I can't seem to upload new firmware ecause it is constantly resetting.  Oh, and it resets regardless of whether or not I have it connected to the internet. 
    Any ideas on what can be done here?

    Try this procedure to reset the router to factory defaults, and see if this will give you a stable router.
    To reset your router to factory defaults, use the following procedure:
    1) Power down all computers, the router, and the modem, and unplug them from the wall.
    2) Disconnect all wires from the router.
    3) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
    4) Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release it, then let the router reset and reboot (2-3 minutes).
    5) Power down the router.
    6) Connect one computer by wire to port 1 on the router (NOT to the internet port).
    7) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
    8) Power up the computer (if the computer has a wireless card, make sure it is off).
    9) Try to ping the router. To do this, click the "Start" button > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. A black DOS box will appear. Enter the following: "ping 192.168.1.1" (no quotes), and hit the Enter key. You will see 3 or 4 lines that start either with "Reply from ... " or "Request timed out." If you see "Reply from ...", your computer has found your router.
    10) Open your browser and point it to 192.168.1.1. This will take you to your router's login page. Leave the user name blank, and in the password field, enter "admin" (with no quotes). This will take you to your router setup page. Note the version number of your firmware (usually listed near upper right corner of screen). Exit your browser.
    If you get this far without problems, try the setup disk (or setup the router manually, if you prefer), and see if you can get your router setup and working.
    If you cannot get "Reply from ..." in step 9 above, your router is dead.
    If you get a reply in step 9, but cannot complete step 10, then either your router is dead or the firmware is corrupt. In this case, use the Linksys tftp.exe program to try to reload your router with the latest firmware. After reloading the firmware, repeat the above procedure starting with step 1.
    If you need additional help, please state your ISP, the make and model of your modem, your router's firmware version, and the results of steps 9 and 10. Also, if you get any error messages, copy them exactly and report back.
    Please let me know how things turn out for you.

  • Audio drops every few seconds?

    I have a sisco box, and tonight its starting to drop the audio every few seconds. Kind of like its a skip.
    I reset the box and all that and its still doing it, does this mean I need a new box?

    This is rarely an issue with the box. Its either an issue with the channel, the signal leading to the box, or the signal between the box and his TV. Is this still happening? If so, is it happening on other channels as well? Please let us know so we can assist further.

  • Signal dropped every minute

    Hi,
    I set up my Airport Extreme. However, my Vista laptop keeps dropping the wifi signal every minute or so and then reconnects to it. Any ideas?
    It only seems to be my laptop that does this. My other laptop running XP and my mac does just fine.
    Thanks,
    -Chris

    BY GOD THIS WORKS!
    http://www.codecase.de/index.php/en/downloads
    Holy - this thang has been driving me crazy. Like I would look at my watch and every sixty seconds there would be a cut out - precisely at the 60 second mark. But this little software download does the trick. Nothing but pure music - the way the artist INTENDED!
    Thank you so much.
    That said, the fact that someone has to write a fix for Vista - or for Apple for that matter - is discusting. I am sure they weren't paid for it!
    But in any case - thank you - whoever built this little lagger thang. And happy listening to all those who get this to work also!

  • EA4500 Internet Port Cycles On and Off Every Few Second

    I bought a EA4500 to replace my old WRT54G earlier this year.  At first the router worked fine.  After the automatic firmware upgrade to Cisco Connect Cloud, I was never able to get the Connect Cloud stuff to work, constant 500 Internal Server errors when trying to access the router with the Internet cable attached.  So I downgraded back to the old firmware and all was well again.  Then I started having problems a few months ago, when I would wake up in the morning, the router would be cycling the Internet port on and off.  I could usually reboot everything and it would work the rest of the day.  I lived with it like this a while, and support couldn't seem to find anything wrong.  Eventually it started getting worse, until the point I could hardly ever get it to stay connected.  I got Cisco to RA the old router and I figured problem solved.   Now while the EA4500 was gone, I used my WRT54G again, and everything worked fine for nearly two weeks while I was waiting on the replacement EA4500.
    So today the new EA4500 showed up, I connected and configured it, and it worked for a short time.  Then suddenly I lost Internet, looked up at the modem and the LAN light was going on and off every few seconds.  So I'm back in the same boat as before.
    I've tried changing cables, same setup works fine with the WRT54G.  Modem works fine with WRT54G and connected directly to the computer, zero problems.  I tried lowering the MTU, turning on MAC address cloning, and various other things.
    My modem is a HughesNet HN9000.
    Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly apprecaited.
    David

    OK, the setup as is works fine with the WRT54G, just the EA4500 has the issue.  It started working again last night, and was working this morning.  It continued to work until about 3:15 PM today, and out of the blue, my computer came up and said the Ethernet connection went off, then it came back on, it did this several times...at the same time, I looked up at the modem, and the LAN light was going on and off on it also.  So the router was cycling both the Internet and Port 1 on and off.
    My HN9000 has a static public IP, and the IP it's DHCP server gives out is one digit different than it's own IP.
    My router is set this way, and this is what it gets if I switch the Internet to Automatic (DHCP):
    IPv4 Address: 97.xxx.xxx.194
    Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.252
    Default Gateway:  97.xxx.xxx.193
    Then there are two DNS server addresses.  I've tried the router setup as Static IP or Automatic (DHCP) and the problem occurs either way.
    The HN9000 seems to pass all incoming traffic straight to the router.
    One the LAN side, the router is configured to give out IP's in the 192.168.1.x range, and I have some static leases set.  The router is 192.168.1.1.
    Everything works with the computer connected directly to the modem, and with the WRT54G in place of the EA4500.
    As far as calling Hughes, they won't support the router.  If it works without the router, and with another router, they will say it's a problem with the router, which I think it is, just not sure what.  Also, just to be clear, I do loose Internet access on my computer when the router acts up, but the HughesNet modem remains connected to the Internet.

  • Yvm 302 popup every few seconds

    Hi, got a g4 box , watching tv and every few seconds the popup keeps coming up, not once has the picture broke up,pixelated,or anything like that happened.signal is not the best but its been fine on my tv for years , its fine now its just that popup! Need to somehow be able to turn it off because tryibg to watch something and a popup in the midfle of the screen is really annoying. Checked cables , aerial , retuned etc. Thanks

    not sure if it's the same where you live, but where I am (Lancashire) the HD channels are the lowest signal strength out of all the freeview channels. If your problem is just on the HD channels then it may be that the youview box is flagging up that the signal is weak.
    The process for factory reset for a G4 is to power off and then on with the switch on the back of the box, press power to come out of standby and immediately hold in the down arrow on the top of the box until you get the on screen message to press the power button to enter maintenance mode. From there use the arrow buttons on the top of the box, up or down to select options, right arrow to confirm.

  • 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.

    Hmm.. No cron jobs. Doesn't look like it. Nope. This started happening yesterday. Only yesterday and today. Just this, nothing else.
    Very frustrating.

  • What program access hard disk every 30 second?

    I have a very loud hard disk. The hard disk make a very short noice every 30 seconds, even for a new boot. Anyway to check which programming access the hard disk repeatly so I can figure out if it's possible to make the machine quiet?

    somthing I read about disk flush/sync timings.  There is some sort of 'laptop' mode in some kernels that if set will cause the disk to sync after a period of time in order to let APM/ACPI put the drive to sleep.
    There may be settings for your filesystem to do the same(!?).  I remember old Windoze NT4 had similar problem and was not remedied until Win2k for use on laptops .... yuck, ... I said the W word.
    Here's something I just dug-up:
    Laptop mode ===========
    This small doc describes the 2.4 laptop mode patch.
    Last updated 2003-05-25, Jens Axboe <[email protected]>
    Introduction ------------
    A few properties of the Linux vm makes it virtually impossible to attempt to spin down the hard drive in a laptop for a longer period of time (more than a handful of seconds). This means you are lucky if you can even reach the break even point with regards to power consumption, let alone expect any decrease.
    One problem is the age time of dirty buffers. Linux uses 30 seconds per default, so if you dirty any data then flusing of that data will commence at most 30 seconds from then. Another is the journal commit interval of journalled file systems such as ext3, which is 5 seconds on a stock kernel. Both of these are tweakable either from proc/sysctl or as mount options though, and thus partly solvable from user space.
    The kernel update daemon (kupdated) also runs at specific intervals, flushing old dirty data out. Default is every 5 seconds, this too can be tweaked from sysctl.
    So what does the laptop mode patch do? It attempts to fully utilize the hard drive once it has been spun up, flushing the old dirty data out to disk. Instead of flushing just the expired data, it will clean everything. When a read causes the disk to spin up, we kick off this flushing after a few seconds. This means that once the disk spins down again, everything is up to date. That allows longer dirty data and journal expire times.
    It follows that you have to set long expire times to get long spin downs. This means you could potentially loose 10 minutes worth of data, if you set a 10 minute expire count instead of just 30 seconds worth. The biggest risk here is undoubtedly running out of battery.
    Settings --------
    The main knob is /proc/sys/vm/laptop mode. Setting that to 1 switches the vm (and block layer) to laptop mode. Leaving it to 0 makes the kernel work like before. When in laptop mode, you also want to extend the intervals desribed above. See the laptop-mode.sh script for how to do that.
    It can happen that the disk still keeps spinning up and you don't quite know why or what causes it. The laptop mode patch has a little helper for that as well, /proc/sys/vm/block-dump. When set to 1, it will dump info to the kernel message buffer about what process caused the io. Be very careful when playing with this setting, it is advisable to shut down syslog first!
    Result ------
    Using the laptop-mode.sh script with its default settings, I get the full 10 minutes worth of drive spin down. Provided your work load is cached, the disk will only spin up every 10 minutes (well actually, 9 minutes and 55 seconds due to the 5 second delay in flushing dirty data after the last read completes). I can't tell you exactly how much extra battery life you will gain in laptop mode, it will vary greatly on the laptop and workload in question. The only way to know for sure is to try it out. Getting 10% extra battery life is not unrealistic.
    Notes -----
    Patch only changes journal expire time for ext3. reiserfs uses a hardwire value, should be trivial to adapt though (basically just make it call get_buffer_flushtime() and uses that). I have not looked at other journalling file systems, I'll happily accept patches to rectify that!

  • Every 40 seconds, 10 seconds with no transmission.....

    Hello,
    I have an Airport Express that recently went haywire. I can monitor it's signal strength through the airport client monitor, and every 40 seconds like clockwork the **** thing stops transmitting. Firefox, Safari, Mail etc. all become unresponsive for anywhere from 10-45 seconds. I have uploaded default firmware, reset the thing repeatedly, etc. I have it connected to a Belkin AirBase, and it receives it's signal through an Asante 4 port router wired directly from my cable modem. This setup worked flawlessly for 6 months. Any suggestions that dont involve talking to my *** clown cable comapny support people would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    jw
    Also,
    Any way to display screenshots in the forum???

    like clockwork the **** thing stops transmitting.
    I just learned that although "swear" words get replaced in posts with asterisks they are visible in quoted text!
    Have you looked into possible interference like 2.4 GHz wireless phones?
    Changed channels or switched from "Automatic" channel to something permanent like 9?

  • The signal drops every time i lock the screen.

    I have a wierd problem with my Iphone5. The signal drops every time i lock the screen. It seems to happening only when the battery is under 20%.. After i restart my iphone the problem disapear, but after a time it happends again. I have ios 6.0.2. Anybody help?

    When the phone goes into sleep mode (screen locked), after a few seconds of inactivity, the wifi will disconnect. This is by design to help further battery life. Once you wake the phone up, it connects. Nothing wrong with the phone, working like it is supposed to. The only way to wifi connected all of the time is to have the device connected to power.

  • My friend dropped my MacBook and when I tried to start it....it beeps once every five seconds!!

    I have a MacBook Alluminium unibody (late 2008) which my friend dropped on the floor on its side where cd rom is situated. It has created a dent over there. And now whenever I try to switch it on it would make a single beep every 5 seconds. I'm scared, is it regarding the motherboard or the ram and how much would it cost me to fix it....please help...!!!

    Possibly one of your ram chips has been damaged or knocked loose. Remove the ram cover on the bottom and remove both chips. Insert one chip and try to start. If it works, try adding the second chip, if not, remove the first and try he second one.

  • Why does the connection drop every other second when streaming from iplayer through safari to apple tv?

    I am trying to listen to iplayer radio through apple TV from my macbook air. When I switch back to just using the macbook the stream is consistent and works well but when I switch to airplay mode the sound stream literally drops in and out every other second. Ha! I have just gone into iTunes and I have the same issue!?
    I have checked for software updates on both apple devices and restarted my router but still I have the same issue.
    This is really annoying as this is the main reason I got apple TV! Can anyone help??

    This may sound stupid, but I'm gonna throw it out there anyway. Is it possible, that if I have enough junk on my desktop it might disrupt the signal? It seems odd, but it kind of looks like my signal is strong and relatively steady now that I've cleaned my desktop. I do tend to get very cluttered. I use a lot of reference images and save text clippings to use later... it just piles up very quickly.
    So, I wonder if all that extra effort my system has to do keeping up with the junk might have something to do with the drop outs?

  • IPhone 5S keeps rebooting itself every 2 seconds

    My phone died last night like it usually happens after a long day of usage and I thought nothing of it until I got home and tried charging it. After it came back on (apple logo came on the screen) it kept vibrating signaling that it was charging every two seconds, the screen then would go black and the apple logo would come back and the vibration indicating it was charging would come back on. There was one or two times when my lock screen would show up for a second or so but then it would go black and restart itself over and over and over and over again. I cant even get the lock screen to stay on the phone for longer than a second or two and it restarts itself again. So I then thought of plugging it into my computer to see what would happen and maybe even restoring it from a back up but it would not let me because I have to turn off find my iPhone... which I can't because I cant get it to stay on for longer than a **** second. iTunes does recognize my phone though and so does iPhoto but that's all I can do! I'm trying to let the phone COMPLETELY die as in it won't even notify me that it needs to be charged to see if that makes a difference but I have no clue what's going on nor why this is happening to me or what the solution is! I've tried holding down the home/power buttons but while it has battery all it does is keep restarting and while its dead it just tells me to plug it into a charger... any ideas?

    You can turn off FindMyiPhone by logging in to icloud.com on a computer and turning it off there. If you can, try this procedure:
    Turn your device off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your device and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a device in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.
