Internet connection no longer works unless I have disconnect and reconnect the wifi regularly

I find that after a time random, maybe twenty minutes a half an hour or so, my internet connection breaks down and it can only be fixed by disconnecting and reconnecting to my wifi network.

It is a problem on my iMac of retina 2014 running El Capitan and 2011 MacBook Air my wife running Mountain Lion (but not on my MacBook Air of 2011 which takes place in Yosemite).

It does not seem to be triggered by almost anything, but it's maddening to have to do all the time. It's a router NetGear btw, less than a year.

If anyone has a solution I'd love to hear it!

Greetings, peederjigson!

Welcome to the communities of Apple Support! It seems you have some problems to stay connected to the Wi - Fi on some of your devices. This is not how it is supposed to work so I'll be happy to help you.

Use the Diagnostics wireless for you help to solve the problems of Wi-Fi on your Mac - even with a new router, the firmware may need to be updated. But this article can go a long way to point out where it is.

The potential of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth interference sources - because this is not the case with all your devices, it could be other things blocking the signal. Here are a few potential sources.

Recommended settings for the WiFi routers and access points - because your router is "-ish" make sure that the settings are correct.

Have a great day!

    Hi old_geekster and thanks for your reply.  I tried to find a site that has the power to my computer and I'm having no luck.  Same HP does not list that they carry the power supply for my p6130y.  You have no idea where I can get this?  Do you know how much it costs?  Thanks again.

    23Scorpio, it's my pleasure.

    You should be able to use any standard ATX PSU in the computer.  I suggest to measure the current PSU and comparing measures that you choose.  I like Corsair and OCZ.  The PSU is the backbone of the computer, it is not the place to save money.  Both in the links I provided are good examples of what you can use.  Read the reviews to see what users have to say about them.

  • A200 may have to disconnect and reconnect the battery to start or recharge. Why?

    Sometimes, the battery must be disconnected and pluged to load or start.

    What can cause this problem? Before doing so, the Tablet is blocked, no charge light or no start of the thread.

    c5mech,

    Outside there is a hardware problem, I don't know what else would cause. If the Tablet has never taken root, then it should work fine. It could be a short in the motherboard that causes this problem.

  • Internet connection no longer works with WRT54G Router V3

    I had a router WRT54G V3 works successfully for a few years now, with a couple of PC wireless via a cable modem Comcast as my ISP.  All of a sudden yesterday, no PC can access the internet.  No changes had been made to the router.

    I contacted Comcast and they had me of course wire hard one from my PC to the cable modem.  It worked and I was able to access the internet.  However, when I tried to put the router in place (in a wired or wireless), I couldn't access the internet.

    I tried after the Linksys online troubleshooting documentation.  The lights that lights turn on on the router are on.  I can access the router setup web page that displays the settings still intact.  I tried to go through the sequencing of power without result.  Comcast says my router is the culprit of my problem, but I don't know why it would suddenly stop working.  My wireless printer still works as well as it detects a signal and my PC shows that it is connected, but no internet access is possible.

    What should I do?  Are there other available diagnostic tools?  Cat people won't help because I am out of warranty.

    First update the firmware for routers to the last level.  Once hard reset the router and reconfigure from scratch.  Now, try to connect again.

  • P850 satellite and a WiFi - internet connection does not work well

    Hello

    My internet connection does not work with a Wi - Fi connection.
    I have laptop Satellite P850-131, which I bought a few months ago and I noticed that over the past two months the internet connection does not work well. When I connect to the computer shows that I am connected Wi - Fi connections, however there is no connection and I can't access the internet.

    I tried to do all the regular search but nothing works. Sometimes the message I get told that there is a problem with the DNS and other times with the IP address. However, with other computers I didn't have any problem at all to connect to the same Wi-Fis.

    All solutions?

    > When I connect to the computer shows that I am connected Wi - Fi connections, however there is no connection and I can't access the internet.

    If such a problem would appear again start the console (window BACK in typing CMS in search)

    Photoshop CC was supposed to be able to use without an internet connection if I worked online at least once a month...

    I tried to work offline at home after working online for a while. The sign came and wrote

    «No Internet connection / - and the options have been - try again or continue offline "and I could not work no prob. by choosing «continue in offline mode»

    However, I've used photoshop for a few hours yesterday and I brought my laptop home from my photographer friend to share the work of editing... and I couldn't open Photoshop.

    "The network is not connected TRYagain.

    It was the only option, does not allow me to continue offline...

    You have an idea why I couldn't?

    An Internet connection is required the first time you install and your creative Cloud of license applications.

  • Windows Update causes internet connection to stop working

    Hello

    Use a wired connection to download the latest drivers or download on another computer
    and transfer them to this one on removable media such as CD, DVD or USB drives.

    Control Panel - device - networks - WiFi - Manager write down of the brand and model, and then double-click
    on the drivers Tab - get the version number. Then double click on update drivers (this can do nothing
    that MS is far behind the drivers of certification). Then make a right click on the device and UNINSTALL - REBOOT - it
    will update the driver stack.

    Now, go to the system manufacturer and search for updated drivers, this will be your fallback. Then go to the Site of the manufacturer of the device
    and look for the even more recent drivers.

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put the driver - CLICK RIGHT to it - RUN AS ADMIN
    (repeat on the site of the manufacturer of the device)

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
