Ubuntu Networking :: Wireless Disconnecting Every Few Minutes?
Jan 16, 2010
I have a Toshiba Satellite M55-S325 (as it came from the factory, no mods), a Linksys WRT54G router, and Ubuntu 9.10/Karmic with all updates. I've had issues since I upgraded from 9.04/Jaunty to 9.10/Karmic. It did work for awhile (I think a few days), but then it suddenly just couldn't find our wireless network. I reformatted (with 9.10) thinking it had just been a bad install - now I can connect to our network, but it throws me off every two minutes. My roommate (Dell laptop, Vista) has no problems with the internet, and I've visited a friend (in another state) and used her wireless internet without issues (though I couldn't tell you which router they were using). I've gone into our router's settings (with both my laptop and my roommate's) to reset the router or change the security settings, but with no real progress.
I have always had trouble in the past getting wireless adapters and what not to start working on Ubuntu but with each 6-month upgrade most problems are fixed while new ones are made. Since Ubuntu 10.10 just came out I thought I'd give it a go and test it with my hardware.
Before 10.10 Ubuntu could not connect with my wireless device and I had to do many things with gedit and such to get it working. After I have upgraded to 10.10 Ubuntu now recognizes my wireless device and network and I can search the web...but wait here it comes.
Literally minutes after a fresh install and first connection to my network my wireless signal will drop and prompt me to reconnect. Of course the first thing comes to mind I reconnect which doesn't work so I unplug the device and replug it making it works...Two minutes later my connection drops again and so I so reboot, and if you really want to know what happens next just restart this paragraph.
Things you need to know Operating System - Ubuntu 10.10 64-Bit Wireless Adapter - Hawking HWUN3 Hi-Gain Wireless-N Network USB Adapter Router - Apple Airport (99% sure it has all updates)
I recently did a clean install on my ASPIRE 5490G laptop with 9.10x64 and am having some odd problems with wireless.
The wireless will suddenly drop and ask me for re-authentication of the encryption key which I put in. Then it will ask me again. It will then refuse to connect to the router.
If I hit cancel then on the notification area the nm-applet will not have the router listed in the wireless networks .
If I kill the nm-applet and restart it with ALT-F2 and run nm-applet --sm-disable it still does not show the networks available.
I know it is not the router as my flatmate who I share with uses a laptop with Windows 7 and they have no problems.
Brand new to linux/ubuntu..Just downloaded the most recent version. Well when i try to connect to my network....it connects...then about 2 min later it disconnects and i have to unplug and replug my adapter.
I am new to Linux and just put Ubuntu on my pc when i am using Ubuntu my wireless keeps connecting and disconnecting. Im not sure what I am suppose to do.
My laptop is a Sony Vaio NW130J
The wireless card/driver is Intel WiFi link 5100 AGN
I dont know anything about Linux so if you could please explain it as easy as possible.
I installed ubuntu 10.04 a few days ago. And I am running into a few problems wherein my wireless network disconnects and prompts me again for password.
Even when I re-enter it (correctly of course) I cannot reconnect and I have to do a system restart. After the restart, the wireless stays connected but disconnects again after a while and I find myself stuck in this loop.
I do not know if the following is any help, but below I am producing the output of lspci command and a few log messages that I think maybe related to this problem
Here is the output of lspci command
And here are some messages that show up quite often in daemon.log
I just bought a new laptop. This one came with win7 home. The wireless works perfect. Today I installed ubuntu 10.4 next to windows. I made a first connection which went easy. But after 30 seconds it disconnects. Then it tries 30 seconds to reconnect. It reconnects and after 30 secodns or so, it disconnects again. It keeps doing this all the time on ubuntu while on windows it works without any problems. This is what sais under the device manager for my wirelesscard stuff:
Intel(R) WiFi 1000 BGN Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter #2 Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller
I'm finding my wireless connection is disconnecting alot, I never had this problem when I was runnning windows 7. I have tried running wicd client but found it was doing the same, then uninstalled the normal network manager and tried just using wicd but it kept saying bad password and wouldnt connect at all. Even though it would work fine but disconnect alot when i still had network manager on.
My wireless card disconnects frequently and sometimes it won't even connect at all. I've googled the card and the driver and it looks like others are having similar issues as well. [url]-[url]
My lspci | grep -i network is as follows
Code:
Under iwconfig, it's identified as wlan0, and I'm running kernel x86_64 2.6.32.9
Need help, ubuntu keeps connecting and disconnecting to my wireless router. whenever i am able to get it to connect for a significant amount of time, i still have no access to the internet.
using ubuntu 10.04
using Linksys router, not sure what model but can find out.
using toshiba satellite laptop
I am able to access my router and internet in Windows without any problem
dont have anything of importance on ubuntu install, so i could reinstall but would rather not so that i could fix this problem in the future.
This is a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04 on a Dell XPS M1530. I'm getting very frequent disconnects to my wireless network, despite good signal. I have wicd and nm-applet running side by side, wicd doesn't work by itself and nm-applet won't get a new IP after reassociating with the AP.
Wireless connection is steady in Windows 7, so I'm guessing it's a problem with the driver.
I've been using my current laptop since Ubuntu Edgy Eft and, since then, I never had any problem with wireless ( Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection (rev 02) ) Since I upgraded to Lucid, my connection is dropped approximately every 3-4 minutes for 10s. Network-manager doesn't show anything but it is well visible with the netspeed applet that shows a warning sign "No connection" instead of the speed.This is very annoying and frustrating. I recall having seen the same issue in an blog article where the author was talking about his upgrade to lucid. It was just one line and I didn't care a lot at the time and cannot find the article back.
Is there anyone having heard about a possible issue ? (I've upgraded from Karmic when Lucid was still in Beta, so it might be the cause).
My wireless connection always worked. When I log in, I already have internet access.I went on holiday and connected to several other networks.Now the laptop will not connect anymore. Sometimes after 5-10 minutes.When I forse to connect ("Connect to hidden wireless network), the laptop connects after several seconds. But not automatically.My wireless modem uses WPA2, MAC filtering and has a hidden access point.I use Ubuntu 10.4 on a HP Probook laptop. In "Network connections", under "Wireless", the "Connect Automaticly" and "Available to all users" are selected. When connected, the signal strenght is very good.
I have a Acer Aspire 7535-5020 laptop with a Atheros AR5B91 wireless adapter & lose my connection after about 10 minutes.The only way to reconnect is by rebooting.I read in another thread that installing the linux-backports-modules-karmic would solve the problem.However when I try to install it I get the message, Error Dependency is notsatisfiable:Linux-backports-Modules-2.6.31-22 generic.
Having struggled to get the wireless connection at least working I find it drops out after 15 minutes or so. When I check for wireless connections I can see none at all and the "Disable/Enable wireless conncection" has disappeared, the Network one is still there. I get an auto reconnection if I reboot and all is well for another 15 minutes. Is there any way i can recover the situation without a reboot? I am trying to install the hplip-3.11.5 driver for my new wireless printer,the program take a while to install and by the time it has started looking for the printer the connection has dropped out. I can't be sure but I don't think it was dropping out before I connected the printer using my wired pc. All good fun but I'd like to get it sorted so I can get the engine back in my motorbike, the sort of technology I prefer!
I have fedora 10 and am having problems with the wireless access. My computer uses the Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8187B Wireless Adapter. It connects to the network, it gets an ip address and a broadcast address, but it loses connection within 3 min. I'm also new dealing with linux and fedora.
I have a Dell 1545 laptop with ubuntu 9.1 32-bit installed (the 64-bit had a bug with the wireless drivers which is why I have not used it). Initially, the laptop worked well with the wireless (a sky router with WPA security) but now, the wireless signal drops after a couple of minutes of usage. I have to reboot the laptop or sometimes reboot the router as well to regain the wireless signal. I am using the Broadcom STA proprietary wireless driver.
I have an older dell inspiron 6400 as well with the same OS and driver and it works perfectly without any problems for hours / days.
I buy a new usb network adapter (Through DX), when I try to use it in ubuntu or BackTrack4 Final it is working, and connecting networks even with WPA encryption. But after few minuts it stops working totally. It is showing that I'm connected to the AP but web sites do not respond.
Notes: - I have another PCI Wireless adapter which works fine.
- The problematic adapter works great on windows.
- A driver CD came with it, including a linux driver which I wasn't succesfully installed.
- A BackTrack3 Disc came with it, claming by the instructions that the adapter will work with it. I didn't try it because i have backtrack 4 final.
It took me dozens of surfing the web hours, and too many restarts,
I have been having trouble with Ubuntu 11.04 when connecting to the Internet via Wireless Networking. It will connect, and has good speed once it connects, however it takes upward of 10 minutes and over 20 times of me clicking 'Connect'.
Is there a way to connect to a wireless network quicker? My network is unsecured and without a keyring. It is not only slow connecting to my network, but the network of other's.
I'm running Fedora 12 on an Acer Aspire One with KDE. The built-in wireless works without a problem EVERYWHERE except at work. It's a shared wireless connection using WPA/WPA2 security.I can connect but it's "hit-and-miss" if I can do anything with it. Somedays it works well for a few minutes then has a period of inactivity - then slow - randomly receives...It worked flawlessly when the computer was running Windows7 no one else has connectivity issues but I'm the only one using Linux.
Im having some problems with the wireless too. I have an Acer Aspire 5050 laptop with the latest version of ubuntu on it. I have a wireless modem and every time I go to connect to the internet the wireless connections keep conflicting againts each other and then I get disconnect every 30 mins and when I try to connect again it just keeps disconnecting, at first when I installed ubuntu it couldn't find the wireless network until I created one and now it seems to find all connects around the area but when I go to connect to mine it just keeps connecting and Disconnecting.
I'm running Arch Linux on an Acer laptop and my wirless connection doesn't stay up. After a while it disconnects, and when I try to reconnect I get stuck with a "Waiting for authorization" message. I have to retry several times before getting the connection stay up for few minutes. This happens with both networkmanager and wicd. The strange thing is that the iMac that sits next to the laptop connects fine, and when I use my laptop within the university wireless network it works normally.
EDIT: I've tried to connect manually following the steps
Wifi seems to disconnect fairly requently, sometimes reconnecting automatically and sometimes requiring me to re-enter the wep password.
I would like to make it so it stays connected.
The router is not very close, but I think it's close enough. I even moved it closer. Other devices (such as my N900 mobile phone) hold the connection without issue.
One complication is that there are several devices all with the same SSID, though there should be one which is clearly stonger.
I never had this problem with Ubuntu before and I am now confused. This is a clean install and I have not change anything about my AP so don't why this is happening.
Every 5min or so my wifi keeps disconnecting and sometimes have problems reconnecting. I also have Windows on this machine and it does not do this at all. My AP is set to channel 9(changing it makes no difference), WPA2. Logs below
Code: [ 15.668746] alloc irq_desc for 33 on node -1 [ 15.668748] alloc kstat_irqs on node -1 [ 15.668768] iwlagn 0000:02:00.0: irq 33 for MSI/MSI-X [ 15.696615] alloc irq_desc for 22 on node -1
I have recently purchased a cellular usb modem, a ZTE MF637. To my surprise and pleasure the device worked (almost) out of the box (almost, because I had to supply a user name and password to the wireless broadband connection properties).
Anyway, the problem is, that the connection work fine, but only for 20 minutes or so (I did not actually measure it), then I experience 0 network activity, and shortly after that the connection drops, and the device is no longer recognized as wireless broadband.
What I do is remove the device, replug it, and after a minute it reconnects. until the next drop.
I'm using Lucid on an Asus eee 1101HA.
Oh, one more thing, in lsusb, the device is listed as MF636, but the box reads MF637. I don't know if it matters, but there it is.
i installed ubuntu 10.10 remix netbook edition on hp mini 110 last day. my wifi is working fine its connecting every network only problem is it cant keep its connection constant, i mean it keep disconnecting frequently. once it disconnect i tried to connect again but it connects but i can not surf internet.
I'm currently using putty on my laptop to control my headless server (both Ubuntu 8.04.) I'm running an rsync job that ran all night long and still going all day today so far. I need to restart my laptop, but if I do, I'll break the SSH connection. If I SSH back in, I won't see the same thing (rsync is showing me each file it's copying) that I'm seeing now. (At least I think that's true. Please correct me if I'm wrong.)
So I guess my questions are..Is there some way to restore my SSH session when reconnecting? (So I can resume seeing which file is being copied and - more importantly - when the rsync job (finally) finishes?If not, how else can I know when the rsync job finishes?
I updated Kubuntu from 8.10 to 9.04. After the update, I saw a problem with VPN connections. I am using an mac pro with 2 ethernet ports. Only one of them is connected to switch. I am using a static IP in my local network. The problem is that I lose dns information after connecting and disconnecting to a VPN by KVpns.As I am using static ip, I entered my dns server to resolv.conf file with "nameserver 192.168.128.4". My interfaces file is as follows:
I installed 10.10 for some days ago, networking was working smooth back then. I use a ethernet cable to connect to the internet.But yesterday when I installed 10.10 on my brothers laptop(he connects through wireless), I began to get these disconnects and reconnects.They just seem to happen random.
