Wired Internet Connection Air How To Set That

The problem occurs only if connected through additional AP. 5. Have packets been captured at each interesting point in the topology to see where are packets drops occurring netstat -s is probably worth looking at such points.

I have a problem that my MacBook Air intermittently loses connectivity to the internet for extended periods (minutes) even though (a) the MacBook Air maintains full connectivity to my LAN at the same time through WiFi and (b) other computers connected to the cable modemrouter maintain their connection to the internet while my MacBook Air has lost its connection.

The problem will usually correct itself after 1-3 minutes (though the time is not consistent), and also gets corrected if I turn the MacBook Airs WiFi off and on again.

Any suggestions for what I can do to stop this problem Thanks John.

In fact, when I am connected via wifi directly to my cable modemrouter, I do not have the problem, only when I am connected to the secondary router acting as a switch.

But since the secondary router acting as a switch is still allowing me to connect the cable modemrouter, Im thinking its not a problem with that switch itself but rather the Mac.

I guess I will test this out with a second computer running alongside mine andor connecting my NAS to the switch rather than the cable modemrouter.) (And to clarify, 192.168.0.1 is my cable modemrouter).

I cant tell you how to set that up with third-party equipment.

The TP-Link disables DHCP according to the document link you provided, but you may want to double check for IP conflicts or overlapping DHCP server configurations.

If you change the Technicolor to a fixed 2.4G channel, and the TP-Link to another 2.4G channel, where the two channels are at least two channels apart, do you still have the same problem 4.

If you Alt-click on the MBA WiFi icon and run Wireless Diagnostics - Command2 for Utilities menu, can you run Scanner and Performance functions to see any RF drops 5.

Are you using the same wifi SSID for both TP-Link and Technicolor 6.

It may be helpful to know which Technicolor TC model you are using.

There is none. The MBA stays connected to the WiFi solid as a rock, and the MBA can communicate within my LAN via wifi at all times.

The issue is that intermittently, with no readily apparent cause, the MBA loses connectivity with the outside world (i.e., the Internet) while other computers on the LAN stay connected to the Internet.

A Roaming network has multiple wired APs connected to backend broadcasting the same SSID, so devices can be mobile, using SSID scanning function.

I created this topic yesterday ATC dropping WAN connectivity.

I am (slowly) doing further testing here to try to pinpoint this to the MBA, the second access point, or the interaction of the two (though I strongly suspect its the MBA).

Please let me know if youve made any progress on solving your problem.

John.

It seems that the combination of MacBook, Technicolor from UPC and additional access point cause the problem.

Instead of WiFi, if the MBA is cabled to the secondary AP, is the behavior the same 3.

Has Wireless RF interference been ruled out for dropped connections 4.

If the MBA has a wired connection to the Technicolor, does the problem still exist 5.

Have packets been captured at each interesting point in the topology to see where are packets drops occurring netstat -s is probably worth looking at such points.

Wireshark (or similar tools) can help.

I have seen Cisco APs send disassociate messages to wifi equipment.

A Windows machine and several iOS mobile devices work flawlesly for me.

If the MBA has a wired connection to the Technicolor, does the problem still exist No.

The problem occurs only if connected through additional AP.
