Instability Wireless: Atheros AR9285 briefly disconnects every few minutes

I bought an ASUS K50ID on Newegg and tried to connect to my Netgear wireless-N, through its Atheros AR9285 (who claims to have installed the latest drivers)

Connections starts without a hitch, but after awhile, I noticed that the connection would be cut at random for just a second.  It was not bad enough to attract my attention just browsing, but when I tried to use Windows Live Messenger, it disconnect me every 5 or 10 minutes, and then I would sign immediately.  He would say that he had to reconnect to the network, is not just a problem of software with WLM.

I have disabled the option to turn the card wireless for powersaving (also, it's funny that it uses by default this option to 'on')

I looked for manual updated driver, but Atheros website is confusing and sometimes in French and is not my card the list of drivers, only for more information.

I checked my router settings, etc., and it seems fine.  It of just that sanded Atheros AR9285 and its lack of will to stay connected! Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to provide.

P.S. I also disabled the IP assistance service, someone said that it can solve. There can be no.

Hello

Check with ASUS updated drivers manually as well as possible firmware updates for the
Netgear router. Also check the placement of the router - if it is closer to 6 feet or too far-
is there a lot of electrical interference or metal in the line of fire - or too many walls - different
floors of level - or just distance.

Of course there would be something wrong with the new computer - or the router.

Check with the ASUS support and their forums.

  • Disconnections every 3 minutes - Satellite A100-386

    Hello!
    I have a very annoying pb... is the wifi connection is disconnected every 3 minutes about... I use a card intel pro wireless 3945 and there seems to be a pb with some routers, as I rarely connect pbs. I updated the driver, but it has not changed anything, so I was wondering if there is a specific configuration that could avoid disconnections?
    Meny thanks for any help

    Please do not be angry on me, but I really hate the validations where is posted not info on the laptop model and operating system preinstalled. What you think about this? Are these really not relevant Info for your problem?

    In any case, these instability WLAN problems are mostly solved by combination of driver and BIOS update. You have the latest version of the BIOS?

  • Why Firefox log out of Web sites every few minutes?

    I'm having a problem where I get connected off Web sites automatically every few minutes. No matter what the website is (Facebook, e-mail, forums etc.) once I have connected, after a few minutes of browsing I'll be disconnected again. I tried to reinstall Firefox and have cleared my cookies/cache several times, but it's always the case. I use Firefox for years and it is the first time something like this happened so I guess it could be linked to the last update. Someone at - it ideas?

    A user who has value Firefox "never remember history" and therefore automatically part in private browsing mode has reported this problem. I don't know that we figured how why they have been affected - that is to say, private navigation changed?

    Not sure that this is a factor in your case, since did you a Reset.

  • my game 'SkyRim, Elder Scrolls V' crash, black screen, every few minutes.

    My Games for Windows 'SKYRIM, Elder Scrolls V' game continues to crash every few minutes. I tried everything suggested by the manufacture of game and the site of the game "Steam", where the game is played, but nothing is. I have all my drivers updated. My PC is greater than all the recommended requirements to run the game. I reinstalled the game, updated the game, scanned the game, updated my windows software, you name it I tried it. The game installed and started very well, but after 4-5 minutes of the game, it just hangs at a black screen, with the sound in the game always running. After a minute or so, the sound stops and a humming noise replace. I have to press the button for a few seconds so that the PC to shut down. CTL + alt + delete does not work when the game crashes.

    My PC is a gateway DX4840 with intel Core i5 650 processor running the Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit @ 3.2 GHz, 4 GB memory DDR3 Ram, ATI Radeon HD 4670 graphics card PCIe with 1 GB of memory, Cox Cable Internet connection with a Motorola cable modem,. & DLink Wireless N Router, 15 MBS

    connection. I TB Sata hard drive, a RW Super Multi DVD/CD drive. Sometimes the game will work very well for half an hour or more before it crashes, but most of the

    time it hangs after only 4 or 5 minutes. I learned to Quicksave my game about every 3 or 4 minutes so that I can make progress. So far, I've played the game for hours 946, which meens it crashed several thousand times so far. As I said before, I've tried everything suggested to solve the problem. Nothing works so far. I'm retired so I have a lot of room on my hands, & I like the game, except for accidents. Any suggestions? Give up, this is NOT an option.

    Update on the problem of crash: I now 1060 + hours of game play and still have not solved the problem of crash. Normally, I run that my computer with no auto update turned on what so ever, not even Windows auto update. I thought that this could be the cause of the Windows error log entry that says "TESV.exe has stopped interacting with Windows and stopped. So I enabled Windows automatic update - no change at all. The game always crashes all the minutes. I noticed that most of the occre crashes just like, or just after that I walk around with my charictor @ change of direction all of a sudden or rapid movement in one direction for a while or for a very long distance. One last thing, I sometimes use "God Mode Cheat Code" to get out of a very difficult situation in the game. The use of cheats in the console will cause outages? If yes how can I disable the protection 'Punk buster type' game modes that could have the default set. I have several Mods installed but I had crashes before I never installed one of the Mods. I have over 50 Mods installed either. I completely run out of ideas and patience with the way to solve this problem. It is, of course, put a damper on my enjoyment of the game. If I was not so bull headed, I would have given to the top a long time ago. I really like the game but cannot aford to buy many more mice or keyboards, to replace the ones I ruined right after a game crash. I splashed several mice out of my wall of the apartment when my temper got the best of me. I think it's better than bottling up anger and having a heart attack. lol just kidding. 2 mouse and 1KO have bit the dust so far but my 2 female roommates are starting to think I'm a little crazy. They ask why I continue to play the game, and I tell them 'because I love so much." New suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Gary D. Hoover

    If you look at the forums of Bethesda, the thread "Skyrim plant" is 74 pages, now (http://forums.bethsoft.com/topic/1270631-crashes-during-gameplay/page__st__2190), and no one finds a universal solution for this widespread problem.

    Your computer's specifications are more than OK, it's the game itself that is causing the issues. Some argue lock TESV.exe (executable of the game) to steam is the cause, and revert to the version 1.1 (where TESV.exe can be launched without the steam launcher) stopped the breaks down. Others find that the change in the sound settings helped (24-bit, 44100 Hz). Others, even once, noticed that the 1.3 update (the update of 4GB memory patch) stopped accidents or aggravated their. The use of mods can also be a negative factor. Etc.etc.

    It would help if you had an error log any. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon that spontaneous TCTC happen without leaving any trace, but you can type "perfmon /rel" in the search (without quotes) bar to open the reliability monitor where accidents can be declared as events with a cross within a red circle. For example: one of the users of the forums above could provide a log of errors with "BEX" and "Code of Exception: c0000409 '-c' is a mistake that could be avoided by temporarily disabling DEP, DEP data (enabled by default on 64-bit CPU).

    Regardless of the exact reason in your case: what I can say as a player of all YOUR (I - V) games on different hardware, is that Bethesda has implemented a RCG (random crash generator) in all their game engines. It's so random that you can play a game for 200 hours and nothing happens, it works perfectly. And when you reinstall the next time or start a new game, it crashes so often to be unplayable.

  • Windows freezes for 5 to 10 seconds every few minutes.

    After the upgrade to Win 8.1, I had some experiences with my computer freezing for 5 to 10 seconds every few minutes. Music continues to play, the cursor keeps blinking (although sometimes it freezes too) and the mouse can be moved, but try typing don't work and try to close, open, move or otherwise interact with the programs (applications office and modern) fails. Then, at the end of the gel in short, everything what has been done during freezing happens everything both. Restart breeze the trend until it starts again (sometimes hours later, other time days).

    It seems to be overheating problems and SFC came clean the problem only arose recently (well that before, it happened sometimes with IE only but who stopped). I'm not running 3rd party antivirus and Defender is coming clean, and so have free McAfee scan.

    My computer is a Dell XPS 1520 running Windows 8.1 update update 1.

    One last note, the problem seems to occur sometimes when I use Windows built-in backup of the file system. I can't actually think any time it all started when I was not hung on the backup media, even if it persists after the disconnection. I used three different types of backup media, so I don't know if one of the drives is the cause, but I will deal with that now.

  • HTTPS connection systematically disconnected every 2 minutes via VPN in Windows 8

    * Original title: VPN via https issues - win 8

    My wife works from home to connect to a vpn over an https connection and then connect to another piece of software based on the web through an https connection.

    It worked well until Christmas 2013 when she bought a new laptop with windows 8, upgrading to a connection high speed fiber (with the same Internet service provider) and had a new router.

    Since then it can connect to the vpn but once connected to everything that she's trying to connect an https connection systematically disconnected every 2 minutes.

    The vpn is connected, and also other programs outside the vpn as Skype and lync stay connected.

    His employer has built a new version of the web-based software as there was a problem with this and windows 8, but this has not solved the problem although it resolved all the problems of connection to his colleagues.

    Currently, she is able to connect via a desktop remotely to his employer (instead of the vpn) and then connect to the additional software via https.

    2 weeks ago she took his laptop in a House of colleagues and connected no problems whatsoever and maintained the connection.

    She informed her employer of which, after 3 months of development new software and maintenance to a remote office installation just for her, said now it must be a problem with the Internet service provider.

    PSI (EE) performed many tests and say there is no problem with the line and or they block certain ports etc.

    Today, she attempted to connect using a laptop with windows 7 (according to her an old) and had no problem that seems to rule out a problem of ISP or router problems.

    There seems to be a problem with windows 8 (regardless of Web browser - the same problem is present with ie, chrome or firefox), but only among us — even if I want to confirm that in trying a few more locations with different providers of Internet services, and that even in a different place)

    Anyway, after all this language of wood can anyone offer suggestions of what the problem may be or any what more ways to collect the information required to provide a solution.

    Thank you

  • What are the causes error Console report an error of TelemetryStopwatch every few minutes?

    In debugging my JavaScript code, I find that the error Console is very useful. In addition to the errors in my code, it shows also the error messages on the other peoples code for sites that I opened. It is a little annoying, because I have to click 'Clear' of each time or to scroll to see my error messages.

    To simplify things, I closed all the tabs and windows except my own window (without tabs) where I test my JavaScript program. All other error messages disappeared — except one. This isolated from rest message every few minutes in PINK (I guess that means it's serious) even when the window of my program is the only one open, without any label of:

    Timestamp: 14/12/12 11:47:39
    Error: TelemetryStopwatch: key 'FX_SESSION_RESTORE_COLLECT_DATA_MS' has already been initialized
    Source file: resource://gre/modules/TelemetryStopwatch.jsm
    Online: 53

    I clicked on the Source file (it is blue and underlined in the original) and jumped up to a list of the source of some of the files from the package of Firefox.app inside. Lines 52 and 53 as follows:

         Cu.reportError("TelemetryStopwatch: key \"" +
                        aHistogram + "\" was already initialized");
    

    Any idea that this is?

    -Gil

    Hello gil, usually after a new installation of firefox ask you to help by sending performance data to mozilla. It's their own countries nicknamed 'telemetry', so the error you see is probably related to this feature.

    According to #732874 bug that will be fixed in the next version of firefox. in case you want, you can also disable the collection and presentation of performance data in Preferences > advanced > general for the moment...

  • Every few minutes, I get a message "not responding" and I can't do anything until he goes.

    Every few minutes (sometimes in less than 60 seconds, Firefox crashes upward. If I try to keep typing I have a message "do not answer" and will have to wait until he's going to continue. This always occurs when you browse through my e-mail, but it happens to other sites, whenever I have to type an entry. I have tried disabling all my modules and it still happens. I deleted Firefox and reloaded it and the problem persists. I'm about to go back to Microsoft Explorer, because it is too long to navigate in Firefox. I use Windows 7, 64 bit, on a one-year-old Dell with a lot of speed, laptop memory and hard disk space.

    See Firefox crashes

    Also, try running Firefox in questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode. If it works properly in this configuration, then one of your modules is the culprit.

    I also notice a couple of old installations plugin in your system specs. I recommend you to update Flash on v10.2.159.1 which also addresses a recently discovered Zero Day exploit. See Adobe releases Flash Player security update
    Update via http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

    Also, go to the Windows Control Panel. Java and updated for v1.6.0_24 by clicking on 'Update Now' button.

    You have AVG Safe Search, AVG Linkscanner or McAfee Secure Search installed? All three are problematic and tend to cause Firefox to slow down. They can be disabled in tools | Add - ons | Extensions.

    If the problem persists despite the above measures, please let us know and we will try to help you further.
