Network Magic Connection Speed Fix

This came Directly Fom the net work Magic team.
Our engineering team has informed us that the issue is now fixed, please retry the speed test, if it still fails you will need to delete a Network Magic reg file and reboot your computer, please try the following: 1. Verify if you have 32 or 64bit operating system: *Click Start and right click on Computer and select Properties *Under the "System" it will show either 32 or 64bit. 2. Click on Start 3. In the Search field type REGEDIT and press enter. 4. Depending if you have 32 or 64 bit operating system, navigate to the following path: *64-bit OS: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Pure Networks\Platform\1033\SpeedTest\nm and delete the "nm" folder only *32-bit OS: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Pure Networks\Platform\1033\SpeedTest\nm and delete the "nm" folder only. 5. Close all the windows and reboot the computer. This should fix the Problem of Connection Speed. not showing up redirecting some where else.

Peter,
Not only the Network Magic connection stopped, but if you try to connect with your Net2Go remote access website it's not there anymore.  Not even if you try to connect with your computer that's hosting it.
As I understand it, when Cisco aquired Pure Networks they issued their last upgrade, and with it came the announcement that the latest version would no longer have the Net2Go feature.  Indeed, they could choose to END Net2Go at their discretion.  It would seem that this is the case.  A shame, really.  My clients have come to depend on being able to retrieve their material and email links to their clients as well.  All Cisco had to do was provide a redirect, how much server power can that take up anyway?  It was almost like having a web site, and it cost nothing.  Sure was nice.
According to the End-Of-Life protocols as laid out by Cisco, they're supposed to give warning when there's a system they would no longer support, and they are supposed to get with you to help you ease into the replacement technology and give you several months to do so.  Slamming the door wasn't supposed to be part of it.
So now we have to either go without because nobody offers anything remotely like it (I checked), or we can all get domain names and pay for web sites and hosting.  Thanks a lot, Cisco.

  • Network magic connection stopped working last night

    Really need help with this.
    My network magic suddenly yesterday stopped working in that it cannot contact the network magic website. This leads it to conclude that the internet is down, even though the connection is fine.  This happened on all three of my computers. My browsers (mozilla and explorer) cannot seem to connect to the network magic website either. A product re-install on one of the computers went fine, but the problem still persists, despite a re-boot. Examined the hosts file manually and there are no entries that might cause a problem. The computers use different service provides and a different router. All three are vista ultimate 64 bit with service pack 2 (recently installed), have spyware doctor, spybot, and live care for security tools (as well as network magic).  The live care firewall has the correct permissions for network magic. The network magic platform service is running properly.
    Of course I cannot contact the network magic support team as I cannot access the website - this does not appear to be a known problem (did a search).

  • Problem with Network Magic/Connecting to my PS3

    Hello!
     I've really been enjoying my Cisco Wireless-G WRT-54G2 for the last two months, using it as a wireless hookup to my PS3. However, yesterday morning sometime something on my PC hiccupped or something . . . it's an older '04 Sony Vaio- whenever I try to install Windows XP MS Service Pack 2 (it has 1)- it goes into terminal slowdown . . . but it hasn't had any problems until this morning, when I lost the internet connection on both the land line connected to my PC and the wireless one connected to my PS3. I don't know really what happened, though the only new error that seems to have come up is that my Norton AntiVirus is thtrowing out an "Auto-Protect" error that can't seem to get resolved . . .
    So, in order to troubleshoot, since my wireless modem wasn't covered by Cox Communications, I was forced to unhook it from the system and hook the ethernet line directly from the cable modem into my PC (instead of the wireless router). Eventually the problem was solved. Unfortunately, things did not return back to normal when I hooked up the wireless router again. The lights are flashing that the connection on BOTH my wireless connection and my hardline connection to my PC are going strong, but only my PC connection is working. My PS3 is programmed for the system but always gets a DNS when it tries to do anything.
    When I use network magic, it inform me that "You are connected to a New Network" called "Local Area Connection - Router" and I cannot access the Map and Status Center features because of this.
    What a wonderful way to be spending my turkey day!!
    Any suggestions? Is the Norton AntiVirus screwing me up? I'd appreciate any assistance anyone could provide.

    It is fairly easy and you should be up before Turkey day
    If you know your PS3 has the correct security key for Network Magic (WEP or preferrably WPA WPA2 ) then follow this.
    Open Network Magic>Click on (Network) Tasks>Click on Add a Device>(I have network lock on always to prevent intruders) it should disable your network lock>Follow the prompts, make sure your PS3 is on and click on internet or something to make it grab an IP addy, and show it's MAC addy, as well>
    When Network Magic's "add a Device Wizard"  starts looking for your PS3's MAC address, and you see a MAC address appear below the "searching" line>
    you should be fine(and be able to click Finish) then, as it will be included as a device with access to your Router>It should re-engage your Network Lock.
    Kind regards,
    Dagra
    PS. I just started using Network Magic about 2 weeks ago, and got the 5.5 pro, for my home network. It took me about 30 minutes to get it all connected including my PS3, but then I'm an IT Tech.

  • Connected to Internet, but Network Magic is Not

    Hi, I recently got a linksys wireless G router WRT54GS2 and it came with Netmagic. The first time I used it everything was working fine, but now (about 2 hours later) NM cannot connect to the internet, and none of the repairs fix it. It's strange because I can connect to the internet and I'm writing this message using the router. The version of NetMagic I have is 5.1.9055.0

    I'm having similar issues with my phone.  I got my first iPhone recently, only had an iPod touch gen4 for a little over a year.  Updated to 6.0.2 when we got the phone (iPhone 5) a few days before Christmas.  When I got home on the evening of January 11, my phone would not connect the router anymore.  I was able to get it to connect after resetting the phone and the router, updating the router, and manually connecting.  That laste for a few minutes and then wouldn't work anymore.   I live in an area with very limited service, we have a network extender installed to help, and I am barely getting a 3G signal at times.
    My wife's iPad 4, my touchiPod 4, and all of our laptops are working just fine on the router.  When I dropped my kid off at school today, I noticed that I am not even seeing the school network anymore from the parking lot where before I got 3 or 4 bars and could connect to their wifi when I was there.  Today my phone goes back and forth between seeing my home network but not connecting, to not even seeing the network at all even from the same room that the router is in.
    Hope Apple fixes this problem soon..............

  • Apple TV 2 Network Connection Speeds - Wireless Observations

    I have been following the Netflix, AirPlay and Sharing posts since the last upgrade. I never had any real issues except I thought I was having issues obtaining 5.1 DD from Netflix. Because of this, I found out I had cable line and modem issues that have since been resolved. I have been trying to assist others and have been monitoring the wireless connection speeds of my 3 ATV2's. The data below is in a "controlled" environment, only in the sense that I control it I do not know what the speeds were before the update, so please don't ask.
    Using Airport Utility from my MBP, I see that for all iOS devices (ATV2, iPhone 4, iPad1) the maximum wireless connection speed (rate in utility) I get is 65 mbps. The wireless dongle for my TV will run at around 110, and my MBP will run from 170-270. The maximum rate is 300 for N wireless. All of the iOS devices connect using N, 5 ghz or 2.4 ghz.
    With 4.3 (4.2.1), it appears that Apple has governed the ATV2 speed to match that of other 4.3 iOS devices so they work seamlessly together using AirPlay. I can't prove this, but it just seems logical. I'm also thinking that the same Airport chipset is in the ATV2, iPhone, and iPad1. I don't know what the maximum speed of the Airport chipset is in all of them, but I'm inclined to think Apple has reduced power to improve battery life for those with batteries. I'm also thinking that there may have been initial buffering issues between the devices at higher wireless rates and Apple "tuned" them for using AirPlay between them. Just thinking out loud here....

    Surprise, the WI-FI chip in the ATV2, iPad V1, and iPhone 4 are the same chip
    For that matter, the ATV2 looks like it has a 30-pin connector inside, and many of the same parts of the above. Bet this thing is built in to the actual TV Apple is developing. It has a spare slot for 8 GB more memory.....

  • "Network Magic Notification: NMApp.exe - No Disk" error message

    Since downloading a trial of Network Magic I get an error message when linking to websites from email.
    How do I fix this.

    Hi there, can you please post some addtional info so that the Cisco Network Magic Support Community here on the Linksys Forums can assist you? The info that is needed is as follows:
    1. Your Network Magic Version installed: example: 5.1.8345.0
    2. The type of connection to the Internet, like DSL, Cable, or Verizon FIOS Internet Connection.
    3. The Brand of Modem and its Model Number the router is connected to.
    4. The Brand, Model, Hardware Revision of your Router and include the Firmware Version: Linksys WRT54G v8.2 Firmware Version 8.2.05
    5. The Method of connection your problem computer has to the Router: Wired or Wireless.
    6. The Connection in use on the problem computer: Ethernet Port is a PCI Adapter Card, Linksys WMP54G v4.1
    7. Operating system and version and Service Pack Level, if any. Ex. Windows XP Professional x64 Edition Service Pack 1
    8. Software Firewall in use: McAfee Personal Firewall 9.0.136 Build
    9. Also if any Anti-Virus Program or Spyware Program is actively protecting your computer. (Some Programs like Spybot does cause problems, not being able to go to specific sites.)
    10. Include your location in the post or fill out your Profile for this forum and include the location. (Reason: Not all Routers from a given manufacturer are available everywhere.)
    11. Post the link to your Router Model, if an off-brand Router or not found in the USA on the Manufacturer's USA's Website. (Why? Posters helping each other, aren't working for Linksys or Cisco, so make it easier on the posters helping on.)
    12. And any other information you think is important if answering your own post, and the nature of the problem, itself.
    13. By posting all this information, you can hopefully get help from someone that has the same equipment that you have and theirs is working. Not everyone has the same equipment.
    (Thanks to thecreator for providing me this list of info needed for NM support)
    Please note that I am note that I'm not an employee of Cisco, and I am volunteering my time on here to assist other NM users, thanks!

  • NETWORK MAGIC UNABLE TO SEE OTHER COMPUTERS WITH NM IN THE SAME NETWORK MAP

    I have two computers, one desktop (iMac OS X/Win 7 x64 bootcamp) wired connected and one PC laptop wireless connected in the same network through Linksys WAG320N, both running Network Magic ver. 5.5.9195.0-Pure0 (11.2.9195.1  12/13/2011) with the exactly same firewall settings allowing Pure Networks Platform Service to runs in Private and Public networks. The problem is that the both machines don’t see each other with Network Magic installed and therefore valuable features as screen shots or network speed test are not available. I already uninstalled NM in both equipments and reinstalled it, but the issue persists.
    Anyone facing this same issue or have a clue on how to fix it?
    Thanks,
    Vertigo

    As Barney-15E has suggested, this looks very much like 2 routers, and some systems talking to router A and some systems talking to router B.
    Bonjour protocols will NOT cross a router boundary, so systems on router A will only see other systems on router A, and systems on router B will only see systems on router B.
    The recommented network setup is to make the router connected to the broadband connection be the ONLY router in the home and configure all other routers so they are in "Bridge" mode. That is to say, the other routers are configured so they just extend the primary router's subnet.
    How a home router is put into bridge mode is different depending on the make and model of router.
    In your case, I think the Belkin should be the primary router, and you should put the Time Capsule into "Bridge" mode. Applications -> Utilities -> Airport Utility -> Time Capsule -> Internet -> Connection Sharing: Off (Bridge Mode).
    Once you put the Time Capsule in bridge mode, all your systems should be on the same Belkin subnet, and now Bonjour will see all the Macs in your home.

  • Problems with the Fios 20/5 connection speed in my area dropping down to less than 3mbs.

    I have written out a flyer that I plan to go door to door with. Since I am under contract with Verizon, I am forced to honor my side of the contract. Even if they are allowed to make me pay for a service that I am not completely getting. I am very displeased and as soon as my contract is up, I will change back to My local cable companies all in one that does not require a contract and has no issue such as the one I am having.
    Do you have Verizon Fios Internet?
    Are you on the 20/5 connection?
    If so, you may not be getting the speed you are paying for. I am on a 20/5 connection and when my computer is on for longer than an hour the internet download speed with Verizon Fios starts to slow down until it is below 3mbs. It takes about 24 hours to get down to 3mbs but only about an hour or two to get down to about 6-7mbs when I am paying for 20mbs…
    I have 3 computers in my home that have Windows Vista, Windows XP home edition and Windows Media Edition 2005. All of the computers run into this same exact issue, I have tried every setting I could think of with my 24 years of computer technical experience. I finally took one machine with Windows XP and ran a full format on the hard drive and reinstalled a fresh Windows Xp Operating system onto the hard drive so it is a bare bones OS. This way there is no other software on the machine that could possibly be causing the problem and found that when I connected online through Verizon Fios the machine still ran into the same exact issue. This proves to me that the issue is not on any of my machines.
    Now all of this time my buddy that lives 1.2 miles away from my house has been having the same issue with three computers at his home also. He has Windows Vista on two machines and Windows XP Pro on one.
    When I concluded that it was a Verizon Fios issue, after a few months of trying to get by, researching, diagnosing and losing much information in order to verify it was on Verizon’s side, I contacted technical support at Verizon’s online website. The agent and I went through the regular procedure that anyone would have to go through and I patiently explained what I had done to try to diagnose the issue. The agent came to the conclusion that he could not figure out the problem so he guessed that the Verizon router/modem may be the issue and told me he would send me a new one by mail.
    I received the new Verizon router/modem, installed it and had to call to have it activated. Afterward it still had the same exact issue as the prior router/modem. So now we know it’s not my computers, it’s not the router/modem. My Verizon router/modem is connected right at the Optical Network Terminal (ONT), which is the box that connects the fiber-optics to your home, usually just inside or outside your garage wall. Mine is just outside…
    From here my buddy, who has been having this problem also the entire time, called the local office of Verizon Fios and an installer was setup to come over to his home and trouble shoot the issue. My buddy called me and told me when the installer was headed to his home and I met him at his home to see what the installer found and in hope that my issue would be fixed at the same time. The installer went through the system at his house and was frustrated about not finding the reason for the issue and ready to leave without fixing anything. I simply asked that he stay long enough to see the issue present itself within an hour-hour and a half.
    His laptop itself already showed the speed drop from 20mbs to between 16-17mbs, it was on its way down. He basically told us something that online tech support already stated to me, it is extremely difficult to prove it is on Verizon’s side. In other words it is extremely difficult to prove it, in a way that will convince Verizon to check its own servers, routers and software updates to their own systems. The installer, good guy, couldn’t/wouldn’t stay but we did convince him not to simply drop the issue. He called shop and they sent another installer out to take over the issue.
    The new installer, great guy, got up to speed on what was already done at my buddies home. The first installer, checked and replaced the Verizon router/modem, checked the wiring and splitters. Basically went through the entire system up to the Optical Network Terminal (ONT), the box that connects the fiber-optics to your home. He pulled and replaced the Optical Network Terminal (ONT), thinking that perhaps the unit was compromised. While he was doing this job a tech was called and asked to stop by for assistance with the issue. The tech checked the computers inside and tried to do some settings that the main office informed him to try. I explained to the tech that the same issue was happening at my house, that I went through every setting I could think of and find online to help alleviate the issue. After some shop talk about what I had tried, including the full format and reinstall of the operating system on one of my machines, he just as I came to the conclusion that it couldn’t be with the computers and since everything that had to do with the Verizon Fios system from the street to the end-user computer had been checked, verified and/or replaced, the issue had to be coming from Verizon’s main office.
    The installer had already checked the main at the road that has the 3x2 green service cover on it by the side walk. Everything was in good working order. The tech called the main office to see if my buddy and I were on the same hub, basically a big splitter that continues the service from the main office to the homes, we were not. So that was ruled out…
    My understanding of the system ends there. The only other components I know of are the Main branch’s routers, servers and software.
    Verizon had a new connection speed added to their system, 25/15 about the same time our issue began. So I am guessing that when they updated the system to include this new connection speed they corrupted the software for the 20/5 connection.
    We have been waiting to hear from the tech that was at my buddy’s house, to see if the issue will be dealt with. My buddy has called him a couple of times and he has mentioned that he is trying to get it addressed and to call back if we hadn’t heard from him. He remembered who he and I were and what the issue was, so I believe he is taking it seriously. How far he can move the issue is beyond me…
    I want to add that my buddy and I have been customers with the all in one package from Verizon Fios since their services have moved into our area, about a year and a half… It has only been since about June that this issue has presented itself, before then we were on 7th heaven with the speeds. We couldn’t have been more than happy with the services.
    This issue has caused that to all go afoul, not only do the speeds get down to less than 3mbs but the speed is not smooth at all. Rather the 3mbs speed is stop and go, freezing in between at times, very choppy. Barely usable at times, unless you restart the computers and start over.
    We are hoping that anyone with Verizon Fios Internet Services will keep an eye on their speeds by going to http://speedtest.net and doing tests to verify they are getting the speeds they are paying Verizon for.
    This is what it will take for Verizon to take this issue seriously is to gather everyone on the system that may be having the same issue. I believe it is everyone that is within the 1.2 miles from my house to my buddy’s and will distribute flyers to each and every house in between.
    If you find that your speed is not as fast as it should be please contact me and I will add you to the list, this way we can see exactly how far this problem covers and perhaps it will also help to show a pattern and understanding as to why the issue is present in the first place.
    My contact information,
    I have left this out here, you can contact me on these forums...

    Actually what this came down to was an issue between Windows Vista and an Ethernet Card on one of the machines in each of our local networks.
    Even though our two machines are 6 years apart, we both have the same ethernet adapter on our main desktops. A RealTek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet Nic. It seems that the adapter does not work at the 20mbs download speeds with Vista. For some reason the adapter does not shut down when the computer does? I don't understand why but it doesn't, it keeps the connection alive. I removed the ethernet cable and pulled the power cable and had my two other computers still connected to the network and found that the issue was resolved. The way I found out was that I used the connections on my main computer to hook up one I had laying around and through further testing found the problem no longer existed...
    Then I realized that my buddy and I installed Windows Vista at about the same time, a couple of months ago. Funny how you can forget an important detail like that. Then I remembered that he had the same identical ethernet adapter as I did, I had noticed that while trouble shooting his computer at his home but didn't think it was important at the time. Until the issue was narrowed down to the adapter, then it all seemed to all fall into line.
    Quite humbling... In the end, anyone who has Windows Vista and this NIC probably will have problems with the 20mbs download speed of the computers on their own networks. I tried the latest Vista driver from RealTek and also tried to roll back the driver, with no success....
    Back at the beginning when we first had fios installed in our homes there wasn't an issue when we had the 10/2 speeds and had Vista. Then we decided to change from Vista to XP because we both were having issues as to what programs you could use and which you could not, shortly after having fios installed. Then when verizon upgraded us to 20/5 we were amazed at the speed and still had no issue because we had XP on our main computers with the RealTek adapters...
    We reinstalled Vista because it seemed like we were having more issues with XP by getting hit with Antivirus2008 and its variants and thought it time for a change back...
    It didn't really hit us that Vista could be the culprit because we both have a laptop in our networks that have had Vista on them from the get go when there were no issues... We also didn't notice just how bad it was right away and over time kind of left the Vista install out of the equation.
    Just strange that one computer can effect all the other computers on the network, even when it is shut down...
    I allowed the other two computers to run 24hours and the issue did not present itself, when I added the main computer with the RealTek adapter back to the mix it reappeared. The Realtek adapter is the only real common denominator between his machine and mine.
    So now we have three choices,
    We can go back to Windows XP.
    We can buy a new NIC or a wireless card to replace the RealTek...
    Hopefully this post will help anyone else who runs into this problem, it has been very frustrating to say the least...
    Thanks to everyone for their help and I apologize for complaining about verizon when it was not a verizon issue. I came to the conclusion that the only part verizon really played was upgrading us to a 20/5 tier which I am thankful for...
    Would be nice if this card was on a list that Verizon support could use to troubleshoot , diagnose or eliminate for future support issues.

  • Has anybody solved the slow wireless connections speeds of the new Imacs

    I have just purchased the new imac...and was made aware of the disastrous connections speeds using wireless.. Does anybody know if apple have come up with a solution...or are they just not dealing with the problem?

    I am a brand new Mac user with a new 24 inch iMac purchase. Macs are supposed to be hassle free right? Right. No question I was about ready to throw it out the window because the wireless connection to the expensive AP base station was, oh, 100x slower than my Dell laptop side by side about 1 foot away. Nothing changed even if I connected directly to the AP using an ethernet cable. My connection consists of an Actiontec DSL gateway connected directly to my AP extreme that allows wireless to my PC laptop as well as my new iMac. Hours and hours go by until I find this help link on Mac Orchard Forums:

    +WOW!! everyone else with this problem read this! i was having these same huge speed problems using the internet with my new 24" dual core intel imac with 2 gigs of ram and found a posting on another site's thread that fixed it completely.+
    +"Try setting your DNS servers to OpenDNS (208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220) and see if that helps at all. Maybe the ISP's changes increased the load on their DNS servers."+
    +my guess is that somehow these DNS servers work the way tiger likes them to while others dont, i have no clue other than to say it works!!+
    +heres a site i found that helped me understand how to change the settings:+

    With the new Leopard installed I went to the "portforward" link first and followed the instructions exactly to set a static IP address, then I reset my DNS servers with the exact numbers you see above - IT WORKED IMMEDIATELY!!!!! I didn't have to call my ISP or anything, it just worked exactly as it should with both Safari and Firefox. Now this Mac is flying and I will not be tossing it back to Jobs.
    Good Luck!

  • Basic connection speed questions for WRT54GS v.4

    Hi, and sorry, I am something of a network numpty (though I understand my pc pretty well)
    My router only ever transfers data at 54mbps (according to the wireless network connection icon in the system tray) - so, what has happened to the speed booster increasing it to 108mbps?  Is 54mbps the  best I can get?
    Is this 54mbps in each direction = 108 total?!
    And, how does this then limit my broadband downloading speeds?  I have a 20Mb connection, and get around 17Mb speeds on my desktop pc which is connected via an ethernet cable to the router.  The laptop, connected by wireless, gets 6Mb max - is this being limited by the router's capabilities?

    First of all, Speedbooster is a software enhancement to the router.  It does not change the basic wireless g connection speed of 54 Mbps.  The Speedbooster enhancement is supposed to give you a 10 to 20% boost in data throughput.  In order to get the full benefit, both the router and your wireless adapter must have Speedbooster.  If only the router has it, you still get a benefit, but not as much.
    Under ideal lab conditions (read:  not in an ordinary home)  a wireless g system can deliver as much as 20 to 25 Mbps of data.  Most home users get substantially less.   Most home users are happy if they can get 50% of their wired speed  (in your case, 50% of the 17 Mbps).  Some have achieved as much as 80% of their wired speed.
    Its possible that 6 Mbps might be all that your system will be able to do, but I would suggest that you try a few adjustments and see if you can improve it.  Here are my suggestions:
    First of all, give your network a unique SSID. Do not use "linksys". If you are using "linksys" you may be trying to connect to your neighbor's router. Also set "SSID Broadcast" to "enabled". This will help your computer find and lock on to your router's signal, and this can give a slight performance gain.
    Poor wireless connections are often caused by radio interference from other 2.4 GHz devices. This includes wireless phones, wireless baby monitors, microwave ovens, wireless mice and keyboards, wireless speakers, and your neighbor's wireless network. In rare cases, Bluetooth devices can interfere. Even some 5+ GHz phones also use the 2.4 Ghz band. Unplug these devices, and see if that corrects your problem.
    In your router, try a different channel. There are 11 channels in the 2.4 GHz band. Usually channel 1, 6, or 11 works best. Check out your neighbors, and see what channel they are using. Because the channels overlap one another, try to stay at least +5 or -5 channels from your strongest neighbors. For example, if you have a strong neighbor on channel 9, try any channel 1 through 4.
    Also, try to locate the router about 4 to 6 feet above the floor, in an open area. Do not locate it behind your monitor or near other computer equipment or speakers. The antenna should be vertical.
    Also, in the computer, go to your wireless software, and go to "Preferred Networks" (sometimes called "Profiles" ). There are probably a few networks listed. Delete any network named "linksys". Also delete any network that you do not recognize, or that you no longer use. If your current network is not listed, enter its info (SSID, encryption (if any), and key (if any) ). Then select your current network and make it your default network, and set it to automatic login. You may need to go to "settings" to do this, or you may need to right click on your network and select "Properties" or "settings".
    If the above does not fix your problem, download and install the latest driver for your wireless card.
    If you still have problems, try the following:
    For wireless g routers, try setting the "Transmission Rate" to 54 Mbps. For wireless n routers, try setting the "n Transmission Rate" to 162 Mbps, and the (wireless g) "Transmission Rate" to 54 Mbps.
    If you still have trouble, download and install the latest firmware for your router. After a firmware upgrade, you must reset the router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch. If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.
    Hope this helps.  Please let me know your results.
