Model BEFW11S4 wireless router just stopped working with Mac; still works with Windows

I have the above model Linksys wireless router, hard connected to a Windows XP Pro desktop unit. I also have a Windows XP Home laptop. My wife has a Mac PowerBook laptop. On Thursday last week her laptop started having trouble connecting to Internet. Problem is intermittent--sometimes can get on and sometimes now. When on it might connect to a web site normally or sometimes takes a long (as in loooooong) time connecting. My XP Home laptop continues to connect quickly and will move from one URL to another easily; no problems. She took the PowerBook to Panera and got on the Internet with no trouble. She was on for at least a half hour and suffered no outage or slow-downs. Came back home; got the same problems as before. Only thing that has changed is a big snow on Thursday, same day as the trouble started. The relationship is probably non-existent, but it's the only thing different from Wednesday (when working well) to Thursday (when started having trouble). Any thoughts? I naturally welcome any responses. Thanks, Michael Plog

Hello people. I'm having the same weird trouble: I'm having this BEFW11S4 to which I connect via another wireless AP and a switch a Windows XP PC and a MacBook Pro computer (both with Ethernet cable connected to the switch, to which the AP is connected). Both the above computers work seamlessly, but sometimes the other iMac I have in WLAN doesn't surf anymore. It can ping both MacBook Pro and Windows XP PC, but doesn't anymore ping the BEFW11S4. Wireless connection is crypted with WEP-64 bit key. When this is happening, also from the Windows XP PC I cannot get on the web interface of the BEFW11S4. It seems to be "locked" somehow. After unplugging the power and re-plugging it in, everything works again also on the iMac. Anybody managed to solve this issue? What version of Firware do you guys have? I have 1.50.13... regards.

Wireless router suddenly stops working, have to unplug to fix

I actually had a similar problem with an older Linksys router in the past, but it was wired. Basically, a port would stop working and I'd have to unplug the router and plug it back in to get the port to work again. Well, now with my WRT160N, wireless will just suddenly cut off. Wired computers still work fine, and don't even notice a difference, but every wireless computer suddenly disconnects and refuses to reconnect (this includes Vista, XP, and non-Windows devices like TiVo, PS3, etc.). All I have to do is unplug the router and plug it back in and everything happily reconnects and works great. No settings are being changed during any of this.
Another problem which may be related. I work from home and VPN (using the built-in Windows VPN client) to work. It will work great, but all of a sudden I get disconnected from VPN only, every other aspect of the network and Internet works fine, but VPN just completely dies on me. Unplug the router, plug it back in, and VPN has no more issues. No settings, or anything else, are changed at home or at work during this problem.
So what I'm wondering is if Linksys routers have some sort of internal counter and every now and then it rolls over to a negative, gets confused and just stops working, or are they just really sensitive to outside interference and somebody's cordless phone in the neighborhood is causing this problem.

Try reflashing the firmware. You can get latest firmware from www.linksys.com/download , also change radio band to wide and standard channel to 11

Wireless router has stopped working

A few hours ago, my Linksys Wireless G Broadband Router stopped working, for no apparent reason. The internet connection is still working, however, when I hook up my computer to the wireless router, I can no longer receive internet, as well as when trying to acquire a wireless signal on my laptop (my laptop shows that I'm getting a signal, however, In actuality I am not).
Please help,
Alex

Please try the following if you have not done it already.
Powercycle the router by removing your power cable from the back then remove the power cable from your modem. Wait about 1minute and plug your modem back up then plug your router back up and wait about 3-5 minutes for the items to sync with each other. Now try to connect.
Good Luck,
Ttech

Router (WRT310N) Just stops working...

Well I play Halo and whenever I host a server, there's usually no issue with the lag or anything, but usually after I restart a game, maybe 10 minutes into the new game the router just stops working completely... It's still on but is not connecting to the internet or anything, it doesn't work until I shut it off and put it back on..
Can someone help me with my problem?

I guess you should try to upgrade/flash your router's firmware...
Download Firmware 3.23 MB...
Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful" After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
Now reset your router :
Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...
See if this fixes your problem...

Touch Pad Just Stopped Working Completely

Hello this morning my Sony Vaio fit 14 (Model Number: SVF14N13CXB) touchpad just stopped working all of a sudden. No mouse pointer, nothing! Luckily I have a bluetooth mouse. I reinstalled the driver and still nothing. I even did a system restore and still nothing. Could someone please help me with this? Thank you Bounce P.S. I have had this laptop for 7 months (bought it in January of this year - 2014) EDIT (Update): I shut my computer down and left it for a while. Turned it back on and my touchpad is working again. I don't know how, but I am thankful. I did a restart when I was having the issues but that didn't solve anything. the shut down seems to have solved it.

WRT54G - wireless just stopped working on all devices

Hi All,
I've had my WRT54G for a couple of years and have my Desktop hard wired (to the router) and 2 laptops and an ipod connecting wirelessly succefully for the past 2 years.Woke up this morning and nothing will connect wirelessly,finding the router is intermitent and when it does it cannot establish a connection with it. I can connect the devices via the network cable directly to the router and all works fine, it's just wireless that has suddenly stopped working.
I have tried 'turning it off and on again" turning WEP off, changing WEP password etc. but nothing seems to work. Im at a loss as to why my entire wireless network/connection has just stopped working?
Any ideas?

Solved!
Go to Solution.

I'm having a similar problem. This past month or so, the router just kicks my wireless computers off the network. Then I can't find the network at all. My work around has been to go into the wireless setting (via my hard-wired computer) and change the wireless channel from 9 to 11 or vice versa. This keeps the network connected for a day or two and then kicks us off again until I change the channel.
I've looked into the solution previously posted of upgrading the Firmware but I'm having a difficult time doing so. I'm on a Mac and the firmware downloads seem to be for PC. The other problem I'm having is that my model is WRT54GS (no version number). Should I assume this is version 1.0? I think so. Anyway, like I said, when I download the firmware for that unit, it shows up as a bin file (WRT54GSv3_4.71.4.001_fw,3.bin). I then expand it and it becomes a cpgz file (WRT54GSv3_4.71.4.001_fw,3.bin.cpgz). And back and forth, over and over again.
How can I upgrade my firmware on my Mac?
PS> Current Firmware Version: v2.07.1

Laser Jet M1217nfwMFP wireless and fax stopped working printer works with usb cord

I have an HP computer 64 bit version. The printer suddenly stopped working wireless, fax stopped working weeks ago. Printer does work with a usb cord. Turning it off (removing elec cord) on both computer and printer, didn't help. Nothing changed that was different to cause either problem.

Hi agueda
I see that your Laserjet M1217 wireless and fax stopped working but the usb connection does work.
I would restore the printers defaults to setup the wireless again.
Touch the setup (wrench button) on the printer, select network config, select restore defaults.
Then make sure the wireless radio is turned on.
Touch the setup button (wrench), network configuration, wireless menu, wireless radio-on.
Temporarily connect the usb cable from the printer to the computer and go to start, all programs, hp, laserjet m1217 and select wireless configuration and go through the wizard to reset up the wireless again.
or if your router has a wps button on it then you touch the wps wireless button on the printer and immediately touch the wps button on the router.
Printer should automatically connect to the wireless network.
Run the add printer wizard.
Go to control panel,(win7) devices and printers then click add a printer, next, select network
highlight printer, next, message installing printer.
Should be able to print over wireless again.
Check fax connections.
Then run a fax test.
Touch the setup (wrench button) on the printer, service, run fax test.
You should have 4 passes.
Change these fax settings on the printer.
private receive-wrench/fax setup menu/ok/fax receive setup/ok/private receive/ok/set it to off

Try sending and receiving a fax.

Help? My BT Wireless just stopped working (BT Mouse is OK)

Normally the wireless keyboard that came with the iMac (intel) is reliable, its about 4 yrs old now
but today - it just stopped working?
Although it shows (menu) as being connected (BT) and Batteries are at 100%, I can no longer get
keyboard output... and this applies to any running application.
Its not been dropped or mistreated - its just stopped working. I have restarted the iMac but to no avail.
I am using the older USB Keyboard as a stop gap.
My queries are;
     1. Has this keyboard just simply worn out or developed an internal fault ??
     2. Has anyone else experienced this or had similar problems ??
     3. Is there some way I can check the integrity of the BT or the Keyboards communications with the iMac ?
All help to solving this problem - will be most appreciated
Running Mac OSX 10.9.4 on Intel iMac (2CD) 8GB RAM

Hi Barry.
Thanks for your response.....
As mentioned I did restart the iMac which I believe also resets the PR (chime) during that process.
However I will try specifically zapping the PR - several times like the old days and Mac OS 9.
and come back to you

My charger just stopped working. The cord has no visible damage and the plug box works fine with other phone cords. I've had my phone

My charger just stopped working. The cord has no visible damage and the plug box works fine with other phone cords. I've had my phone for less than four months now. Will Apple provide a new charger if theirs is faulty? I have not dropped it in water or anything. It was a normal day and I had 20% battery and I tried to charge my phone and it wouldn't charge. The charging pug box works fine with other phone USB cords so I know its something to do with the charging cord.

Yes.
Everything is included in the warranty.

Anyone having issues syncing iPhone with Microsoft Outlook 2007? iTunes says it is syncing but it will not update calendar or contacts. It just stopped working a few weeks ago.

Anyone having issues syncing iPhone 3GS with Microsoft Outlook 2007? iTunes says it is syncing but it will not update calendar or contacts. It just stopped working a few weeks ago.

I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only person struggling with exact issue. I've rebooted, upgraded, re-installed, pulled all my hair out as nothing works.
The biggest dissapointment with this thread is that nobody seems to have responded with a solution.
And yes I've managed to pull together enough intellegence to tick the box "sync to outlook" in iTunes - still nothing man.
Definately does not sync from phone to PC and is very hit and miss on PC to Phone. In other words now running 2 seperate calendars - Not helpful Jan.
