C720 Chromebook - wifi connection drops

Overall, I'm happy with this Chromebook after using it for four days. The only problem is that the wifi connection has been doing worse and worse.

Chromebook keeps dropping wifi signals. To solve the problem, I connected with my laptop side by side with my Chromebook and the laptop has no problem with the same network connection. Chromebook shows the WiFi around 48% when the laptop displays 100%. I disconnected the wifi on my laptop in case there was some kind of interference and I tried with the Chromebook, but which did not help. This problem of Chromebook began a few days after I started using it and seems to be deteriorating.

Surfing the Web is still possible on the Chromebook because disconnects are sporadic. The main problem is that my VPN disconnects whenever the signal strength decreases. Yet once, my laptop has no problem with the same network, same VPN (and the same VPN server), and in the same place. I have a bad unit?

So, after many hours of testing... I found a solution.

In fact, it turn out to be a configuration of router for me.

I have a Cisco DPC3825 and I had to disable DETECTION FLOOD IP in the Security tab.

Simple as that.  My router log said the Chromebook sent packets LAN UDP Flood.

I apologize to ACER Tech Support.

It might be useful to add a FAQ to this effect.

  • Why is my MacBook Pro cut wifi connection?

    In recent weeks, my wifi connection has often declined, and I have to restart my MacBook Pro to have the wifi connection.

    I have a MacBook Pro 13 inch (end of 2011) and am running OS X El Capitan 10.11.4 version

    I brought my computer to a Genius Bar, and someone had to watch. The guy helped me clean up my caches and adware which helped. It also helped me with existing Wifi preferences of trash again.

    My computer worked fine after my visit to the Genius Bar and now almost a day later my wifi connection dropped again and I had to reboot my computer.

    Any suggestions on what I should do?

    Maybe corrupt network preferences.

    Open the Finder. In the Finder menu bar, click go > go to folder

    Type or copy paste the following text:

    / Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration

    Click OK, and then move all files in the SystemConfiguration folder to the trash.

    Restart your Mac. See if that makes a difference.

    Your Mac will generate a new SystemConfiguration folder for you.

    It depends on if Google use Chrome drivers for your modem. In most of the cases is not doesn't make much difference, given that most people have internet connections that are much slower than 802.11n speeds.

  • Skype 6.16.60.105 drops after that call is place/received the WiFi connection

    Hello

    After the upgrade to the latest version ov Skype (6.16.60.105) - I can't not place/receive calls.

    When I call someone (call or video call) or when anobody calls me - Skype drops my WiFi connection.

    It was working fine before the update.

    On the same wifi network, another laptop with Skype 6.14 works very well.

    Regression problem?

    Any solution?

    Thank you

    Oleg.

    Downgrade from 6.16.0.105 solved the problem. I've done various tests and it works very well.

    So, it should be regression introduced along the road between 6.16.0.105 and 6.16.60.105.

    I wonder if Skype developers know.

  • WiFi connection sometimes drops

    I live in an apartment complex and species piggyback arrangement with my neighbor.  Only a wall between our apartments.  Wasn't a problem when I had a HP laptop.    Now I have a new desktop HP Pavilion 500-164 and quite often when I run UTorrent my connection drops.  I don't want to buy an Extender.  How can I configure my office to boost my connection?  

    BreBruce,

    Saw your Post on the Utorrent forum and you have received a response.  Good.

    Big_Dave has a good point - many ISPS will be throttle (or otherwise interrupt) connections that fall outside the parameters of the agreement.

    If you have not yet seen so, take a look at this:

    Internet Access keeps drops when downloading on uTorrent

    Among the possible points of interest:

    1. right click PIA > settings > advanced > change type of TCP connection

    2 Contrict total number of client connections

    Click on the thumbs-up Bravo !

    It's a nice way of saying 'Thank you' for help.

  • L755 satellite internet connection drops but stilll connected to the network

    Hello

    I hope one of you can help me. I have a laptop 13 q Satellite L755 nice for a year and a half.

    My problem is that I surf the net and suddenly my internet connection drops down. On Firefox or IE, I have a message with a triangular signal yellow saying: "your connection has be revived."
    I'm still waiting on my network but I can't access the internet.

    The strangness, is that my family other PC or laptop have no problem on the connection.
    This happens on the wifi and cable. At home or other places of connection.
    In France and the United States. So my conclusion is that there is a problem with my laptop.

    I looked around some forums. It seems that some have a problem with IPv6.
    I have disabled the option to use IPv6 on my laptop, but I still have the problem.

    Another comment: I play the Kingdom of the fortress online.
    Sometimes I disconnect from this game but I can still surf the internet for a few minutes before undergoing a total disconnection.

    Looking forward for your help.

    As this happens using WLan and LAN its really hard to say why your connection is interrupted.
    Have you tested the internet connection with fresh preinstalled system?
    I mean it is possible that some software / updates received or installed in the past it would affect.

  • iPad 9.7 Pro WiFi connection problems - 5 GHz

    My brand new iPad 9.7 Pro is having major issues remaining connected to my home WiFi 5 GHz channels. The connection drops approximately every 30 seconds and I have to manually add the network in. Also, when he reconnection does not always have the password, and it takes several tries before it finally accepts it.

    Curiously, the iPad is strong when it is connected to the 2.4 GHz channel and has yet to give up this connection. All my other devices (two iPhone 6 and old iPad) have no problem to stay connected to the 5 GHz channel so I know it is not a problem with the router settings. But just to be safe, I put all the router settings to those listed here: recommended for the WiFi routers and access - points Apple supported

    That has not fixed the problem.

    Then I went to the Apple store to see if they could help me and they ended up exchanging for another iPad. The same exact issues exist with the replacement. I even made sure to not restore from a backup and configure the replacement as a NEW iPad iPad. I then tried to connect to WiFi with the pre-installed operating system and always had the same questions. I then updated the iPad the latest OS 9.3.1 and it always shows the same questions.

    I am at a loss for what to do next. I plan to return the iPad 9.7 Pro for the second time in two days. It was not ready for release.

    General suggestions for Wi - Fi problems, maybe one of them will help you...

    (1) perform a forced reboot: hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons simultaneously for about 15-20 seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Leave the device to reboot.

    (2) resetting the network settings: settings > general > reset > reset network settings. Join the network again.

    (3) change of Google DNS: settings > Wi - Fi > click the network, delete all the numbers under DNS and enter 8.8.8.8 or otherwise 8.8.4.4

    (4) turn off the QoS service on the router if available.

    (5) reboot router/Modem: unplug power for 2 minutes and reconnect. Update the Firmware on the router (check manufacturer support Web site). Check that your router is certified Wi - Fi.

    (6) determine if other wireless network devices work well (other iOS devices, Mac, PC).

    (7) try the device on another network, i.e., neighbors, the public coffee house, etc.

    (8) to restore the device (ask for more details if you wish).

    (9) go to the Apple Store for the evaluation of the material.

    4 months I suffer from this problem.

    My internet connection drops every 15 minutes and takes about 2-3 minutes to reconnect.

    In the meantime the wifi connection still works and strong (5 bars).

    I tried all methods to resolve this problem, dns flush, back, ip address, update driver... I have even to connect my laptop to a dongle wireless usb to see if it's a hardware problem, but same result. I tried to connect to another wifi network but also the problem remains.

    Strangely when I connect my computer to my phone internet of the data over wifi it works perfectly.

    My phone, iPad are connected to the wifi in my house without any problem.

  • Satellite L350 - WiFi RTL8187B drops

    Hello

    I have a problem with my L350 - 16L (PSLD8E-00C00GG3) of Toshiba.

    Build adapter WiFi - "Realtek RTL8187B Wireless 802. "11b / g 54Mbps USB 2.0 Network Adapter" abandons the connection without reason.
    I use Windows Vista Home Premium that came with the notebook.

    I tried several drivers for this card but no change.

    Sometimes the connection drops and Vista says "Windows cannot find any network" - with the other computer, I have about 5 visible networks.
    Other times, I see all available networks, but I can't connect them. My wireless router signal is excellent according to the indication.

    The problem goes away for a while when I turn off/turn on the map, but sometimes the same card cannot be disabled, and I have to restart the computer - of course, it freezes at screen is closed and I have to press the button for 3 seconds...

    Sometimes, the problem appears after 30 minutes, but sometimes after a minute, again and again.
    You have any ideas?

    Thank you!

    Best regards

    Check the Toshiba site for a BIOS update. It may be the problem and also check if you have installed the latest driver:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    Also make sure that economic for the feeding option WiFi card is disabled. To see this document:

  • Satellite M60 guard give up WiFi connection

    An M60-144, I provided one of my clients has problems with its WiFi connection. It will be ok for 5 to 10 minutes, and then suddenly will drop the connection. Turning off the WiFi and back on again remakes the connection and everything is very well for 5 or 10 minutes.

    The access point is a Draytek Vigor 2600 G and there are other laptop (Portege R100, R200 Portege and Tecra 9000 Tecra A2) that all connect to the same access point to the same place without any problem. The AP employs 128-bit WEP encryption runs in mode 11b and 11g of mixtures. Any other potential sources of interference, for example the DECT phones have been rejected.

    The laptop has all the updates of Windows applied and drivers the most recent site. For me, it screams of a hardware problem with the wireless card, but wanted to know if there are other suggestions first?

    Hello

    I read a few topics on similar problems and in most cases, the update of the WiFi pilot solves the unstable Wi - Fi connection. As far as I know on the Intel Web site you will also find a newer version of the driver. In my opinion, you should check this option.

  • Satellite L300 PSLBGE network connection drops randomly times

    Hey,.

    I had this problem with my laptop because I bought 1.5 years ago.
    Now I launch Windows 7 x 64 with the latest bios (version 2.20 - WIN; day 25/02/10), chipset and wireless (the card is a: Realtek Wireless LAN Adapter 8187 B; driver version: 62.1182.0331.2010) drivers.

    The problem is that my network connection drop at random times.
    This produces both with my wireless lan card and it comes up with a variety of routers (at work and at home I use a linksys wrt54gl, but I tried it on all the other routers with the same result).

    I don't think it's a hardware failure, since the network seems to work very well under Linux (I tried Ubuntu 10). Also some time I took it for warranty service and they said that the material is fine, but I should "not use many programs at the same time and use Windowx XP.

    I understand the different devices (card WiFi, network card, webcam, etc.) inside the laptop are connected to some kind of usb hub. My guess is that it is something wrong with this "hub", given that the webcam works as defective.

    Thank you

    > From what I understand the different devices (card WiFi, network card, webcam, etc.) inside the laptop are connected to some kind of usb hub. My guess is that it is something wrong with this "hub", given that the webcam works as defective.

    No, the card WLan and LAN card are not connected to the USB just the webcam interfaces so it cannot be any USB issue.

    I think it might be a problem of Windows since Linux is OK

    I think you should check the power management settings in Windows 7 and card Wlan /LAN. This can be done in the Manager of devices-> WLan / LAN card-> Advanced tab properties.

    I also recommend upgrading from win 7 to the last installation of State all updates and patches
