Wireless Disconnecting - Problem with BT HomeHub?

[bingefeller]

i"ve been having a strange problem with my WiFi over the last few days. It seems to happen when I'm watching a Youtube video and all of a sudden my Macbook Pro loses it's connection to my BT HomeHub.

When I try to reselect the network from the Airport icon in the Finder bar the box comes up asking for the password and once I enter the password in it says "Connection Timeout." The only way I can get back online is to reboot my BT HomeHub.

I know people have been having problems with this so I created a new location and I am using WPA / WPA2 security.

Here's a copy of the logfile:

Any ideas guys? I'm using 10.6.5 and things have been fine until about 2 weeks ago. This seems to be intermittent too. It mightn't happen until 3 or 4 weeks down the line.

Same Issue

HI there

I have the same issue - did you manage to resolve it? Mine is fine for a while then shows full signal but I can't get a web page. TUrning the airport on and off brings up the newtwork select box, selecting the home hub then brings the time out message. This is very frustrating - perhaps a router change is in order? I've read some other posts about how poor the home hub is..

Hey there,

Still happening to me and still happens when I'm loading a Youtube video, although not all the time. Very, very strange indeed!

If you still get an IP address from the device then put OpenDNS (they have an instructional video) IPs in the BTHub.

 

[bingefeller]

Thanks, satcomer. I'll try that for a fix.
