Windows 8.1 wired connection problem

My computer with Windows 8.1 started to lose internet connection very often (about every minute). I tried to update drivers for network card, even bought new network card with no result. Also, tried to connect directly without router and connection
still drops. Network troubleshooting did not find any problems, no errors are displaying. What may be causing the problem?

Hi,
Wired connection, have you checked the cable? Please make sure that it's functioning fine.
You can also test the connection with another PC to find out whether the culprit is your own PC or the ISP.

Wired Connection problem on Officejet Pro 8500 a909a

I am having what seems to be to be a strange problem.
I have lost connectivity to my printer (Officejet Pro 8500 a909a) through the network from my Windows 7 64bit computer. I found that it worked fine if I connect throught he USB port. Today, I have been trying to get back to being able to use it through the network.
I am able to get to the configuration on the printer through the network, at http://192.168.0.105 and that works fine.
I have downloaded the most recent software and when I run it, it doesn't detect the printer, even if I enter the ip address in the advanced search box.
I have downloaded the HP Print and Scan Doctor, and when it runs, I can see the printer, however i'm not sure why it shows 2 lines:
When I choose the last line and press next, all it does is goes to this page:
Your help is appreciated.

What operating system does the computer use?
What happens when you choose the network-wired option on that last screen? Since the printer is already installed, the software thinks you are wanting to install the printer again and presents the last screen.
Your printer is listed twice with two separate IP addresses. I suspect the issue may be that the IP address is changing to frequently for the detection protocol to keep up with it.
If the printer is on the network and you can access it by entering the printer's IP address in a web browser, you can try setting a static IP address for the wired connection. Click on the Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection document from HP. The document is for wireless connections, but the same steps can be applied for a wired connection by substituting wired for any section that designates going to the wireless section of the printer.

Windows 7 and WRT54GS2 connectivity problem

I have a WRT54G2s router - I currently have a XP laptop and Brother printer working wirelessly with this router. I received a new computer that is running windows 7. I can see the router at full strength and am able to connect to it but once I connect the signal is reduced to one bar and never increases. When I see the network before connection it shows at full strength. Any insight as to why this is happening? I have tried disconnecting all other devices from the router to see if there is interferance - also sitting right next to the router the same thing happens. I can hardwire with ethernet calbe and it works fine but once I try wireless - again the W7 computer sees it at full strength but once I make a connection it is so weak I can barely get an internet connection. Please help - this is incredibly frustrating - I have updated to the latest version of firmware and when I try and use the network troubleshooter in windows it tells me it cannot detect the problem and sends me to a website that is of no help.

Did you tried to connect to any other network and checked if you are facing the issue?
Well make sure that you are using Security Mode as WPA2.
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab
- Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
- Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbors network...
- Set the Wireless channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
For Wireless Security : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WPA, For Encryption, select TKIP...For Passphrase input your desired WPA Key. For example , MySecretKey , This will serve as your network key whenever you connect to your wireless network. Do NOT give this key to anyone and remember the key.
NOTE : Passphrase should be more that 8 characters...
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
Change the Beacon Interval to 75,Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 and Click on Save Settings...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...
This should fix the issue for you.

TNS-00511 - Windows XP, 10g XE connection problem

I cannot get connected to my XE instance.
Using sqlplus I can connect no problem, but there's a problem with the listener AND with connecting via http (I suspect the latter caused by the former).
I'm running Windows XP SP3 (Oracle OBI, for those in the know), using DHCP.
A symptom of the problem is this:

I would appreciate your help!

AE Base Station wired connection problem..

Okay..
I have cable internet hooked up like so:
Modem --> Airport Extreme Basestation extended by 2 AE expresses...
I use the LAN port on the AE basestation to route internet to the hardwired computer.. This has worked well until recently... I recently recieved a new cable modem that work fine when the desktop comp is hooked directly to it. When I try hooking it up to the base station this is what happens:
the airport signal will be great.. all wifi users can surf and connect to the network. The wired computer will work for about 30 mins or so then will stop recieving signal. The only way to get it to regain internet is to reset the cable modem... The wifi users Never lose signal or internet.
is my ae basestation going bad? If i dasiey chain a normal router between the modem and the basestation, there is no problem and everyone gets internet just fine.. would prefer not to have it there though.
Any ideas?

I doubt your base station is going bad - since internet access works perfectly with another router between the cable modem and your main base station. I suggest you leave it that way. There is no downside to that type of setup, and it could save you a lot of trouble trying to find out why a direct connection doesn't work reliably. There just seem to be some combinations of ISPs and cable modems that don't work well with the Airport Base Station.

New iMac, 24" 3.06 Ghz - WIRED Connection Problem

Hi All - This machine has been in service 2 weeks. About a week ago, the connectivity to the internet has become faulty. I can successfully connect to a web site, but after about a minute or so, it will drop. Using the same browsers and MacOS on a MacBook Pro, there are no problems. I have disabled and made inactive, all network options except for ethernet. Still to no avail...
Suggestions are most welcome.
I saw a suggestion on a post concerning junky wireless connections to re-install the os to an earlier version, and may reluctantly try that.
This is a true disappointment.

The only way we will see this problem resolved is for everyone having the problem to call Apple Care and get this problem elevated. With all the posts on this forum concerning this issue I was surprised that the techs at Apple I spoke with were not aware of any widespread wifi issues with the iMac.

Wicd wired connection problem

Wicd works great for my wireless connections, but it falls on its face with /wired/ ethernet.
bringing up the wicd gui from the tray, I toggle off static ip / dns, and click connect.
It spins forever with the status bar message of "Wired Network: Putting interface down..."
Not really sure whats going on, and it's hard to get debug info from the gui.
Any clues?

http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=51778 --> my post might have the solution for you. Use the network daemon and delete eth0 from wired interface in your wicd preferences.

WRT54GX version1 wired connection problem

Hope someone can help me here. I've got the above wireless router with pcs plugged directly into it (using wireless for laptop). When I plug 1 pc directly into cable modem I'm getting like 5Mbps. As soon as I plug cable modem into router and then plug pc into router, I get like 260kbps. Upgraded firmware last night but that made no difference. Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Dave

Try reducing the MTU value to 1350.

WRT320N Connection Problems

I have a WRT320N which I connect multiple machines with multiple operating systems.
1. XP Pro wired connection
2. XP Pro wireless connection
3. Windows 7 RC wired connection
Every other day, I need to power cycle the router due to none of the clients being able to connect. My wireless clients see the signal, but cannot connect. Assigning static IP addresses does not work. Does my router appear to be faulty?

As you are facing intermittent problem with your linksys router, so in this case you need to update the firmware of your router and this might solve the problem.
Go to website linksysbycisco.com/downloads.........insert model no of your router in serach tab......select proper version of your router........download the firmware file......save that file on desktop...
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...

Connection Problem with a 5GHz Network - AVM 7390

I have the problem to connect a MB Air (mid 2011) to the 5 GHz network of an AVM Fritz 7390. Sometimes the request quits with a timeout sometimes the MB connects but I'm not able to reach a webpage or the front end of the router.
With the 2.4 GHz there is no problem. The connection with a Dell windows laptop is no connection problem.
Is this a known problem? Please help.
Thanks a lot.

Make sure that your router / wireless access point is set to one of the following channels.
Supported Channels: 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60, 64, 100, 104, 108, 112, 116, 120, 124, 128, 132, 136, 140, 149, 153, 157, 161, 165
You can see this list in the WiFi section of the System Information screen.

I have a windows 8 computer. I can't connect my Ipad to Itunes wirelessly when my computer is a wired connection. I have to disconnect my ethernet cable from the computer and connect as a wifi connection.Then the Ipad shows up in Itunes.Any sugestions?

I'd start with the following user tip:

Problem - keep getting an intermittent connection (wired connection)

For the last few months our internet connection has been completely intermittent. Some days it will work perfectly fine all day long, other days like today it will disconnect / reconnect every 30 seconds - 5 minutes. I tried doing Live Chat several times and most of the times I can't even get through their questions before my net disconnects. One time I did manage to let them take over control of my computer to "fix" the problems, and at that given moment it worked. But literally as soon as the person disconnected from my computer my net died again.
Part of our setup uses Vonage, which means if the internet does not work our phone doesn't work. I hardly think Vonage is the problem because it works perfectly fine other days. Same goes with the Verizon people saying gaming can effect it which shouldn't be a problem either. I've tried to use my cell to call them but as soon as I go downstairs to mess with the modem / router my phone loses service.
It seems like this is a day to day problem. Last night my internet was perfectly fine, today it keeps disconnecting. Power cycles fix the problem for a few seconds to a few minutes, and letting it reset itself does the same thing. As i'm typing this post my internet has disconnected several times. I can't seem to figure out the problem and need some advice.

*All of that repeated SEVERAL times from 15:26 - 15:31*

SNR Margin (Downstream/Upstream):23/12
Attenuation (Downstream/Upstream):18/12
I think those are the numbers you are talking about. At this moment in time my internet is working fine today, but that doesn't mean by later today/tonight or tomorrow it will be acting the same. Since it's an ongoing problem I'd like to try and fix whatever may be causing it anyway.
I'll have to figure out how exactly our lines are configured before describing them, but i'll try and give you the entire setup of our network at least. So here it goes:
Our setup is in the basement:
Modem/Router - Actiontec GT704WG
No filter coming from main phone line to modem (Is this supposed to be filtered?)
Ethernet 1 -> Vonage -> Motorola VT2542-VD
-Phone line from Vonage goes to "Multi-line" box (I'm not sure if it is a filter itself..)
-From the multi-line 2 separate phone lines coming off with filters
-Those 2 connect into 2 possible filters, that connect into spiltters for the lines through the house.
House Phones:
-1st Floor - Kitchen phone is a regular phone (no filter)
-1st Floor - Living room has a 5.8GHz portable (no filter)
-1st Floor - Sun room has a portable set from the 5.8GHz
-2nd Floor - My room has a portable set from the 5.8GHz
-2nd Floor - Office has a regular phone (no filter)
-2nd Floor - Bedroom has 2 regular phones (no filters)
(I'm guessing the house phones don't need filters directly because they are already filtered?)
Ethernet 2 - My room, connection goes into a Linksys 10/100 5-port workgroup switch (model: EZXS55W). PS3, 360, and PC all wired connections to the switch.
Ethernet 3 - Brother's room, connection goes to his laptop (he doesn't use it wirelessly much in the house)
Ethernet 4 - Office room, connection goes to laptop (not used wirelessly either.)
Besides having an extremely complicated set of lines, I was wondering if the length of ALL the Ethernet and Phone lines matter? Also I read in the other topic that if they don't have Xbox / Playstation they should disable UPnP, and since I do, should i actually ENABLE it? I know that's un-related to my problem but if it makes online gaming connections better i'll do it. I used to have Static IP's for my PS3 / 360 / PC and "rules" setup that supposedly opened the Ports to make them better online but I didn't really notice any increased speeds when downloading off them or playing online.
If I need to provide more info please let me know. Or what should be the next step I take....

Windows 7 64 bit has problems with Actiontec MI424WR while wired with wireless radio off

I have discovered an issue with Windows 7 64 bit OS. My attempted set up was to havea 802.11n Belkin Play router connected to my Actiontec MI424WR router as a wireless access point with the MI424WR wireless radio turned off. This worked fine for my XP 32 bit PC, my Windows 7 32 bit PC, and my 2 Windows 7 64 bit laptops using wireless. A problem arose when I tried wired connections on the Windows 7 64 bit laptops and a Windows 7 64 bit PC.
While wired, internet would drop either completely or intermittently but too frequently to be useful. Tech support had no idea what to do or what caused it. It was reproducible after a reset of the router and then turning off the wireless radio.
I could fix it by turning on the wireless radio again, but I had hoped to turn it off and only use wireless from the 802.11n router.
Any ideas?

Did you disconnect wireless on the 2 Windows 7 64 bit machines while testing wired?
What is the connection between the Actiontec and the Belkin? LAN-to-WAN or LAN-to-LAN?
If the connection is LAN-to_LAN, the wireless connection on each machine would have obtained a DHCP address from the Actiontec. When you connected wired, you would have gotten a new IP address based on the different MAC address of the wired NIC, resulting in the machine having 2 IP addresses. This may not be readily apparent on the Actiontec main status page as the second connection will get a generated name of "new-host-xx" (the router can't reuse the same PC name for 2 different IP addresses). Windows should be able to keep the two connections on the same subnet straight, but I've seen WIndows do stranger things.
If the connection is LAN-to-WAN, the Belkin must have a different subnet address than the Actiontec (e.g.. 192.168.2.x). Now, if you connect both wired to the Actiontec (192.168.1.x) and wireless via the Belkin (192.168.2.x), Windows is going to have connections to two different subnets with two different gateway routers. Without explicit routing rules, Windows won't know which gateway to use.

Apple Airport 802-11n connection problems with Windows 7

I'm basically a MAC user, but my son is trying to get his Windows 7 Toshiba laptop to connect to my Apple 802-11n wifi. It will see the wifi, but when clicked on my network the connection fails before I get to input the password. Yet neighborhood 802-11n connections get to the password screen. The lap[top is a Toshibe satellite L755-S5107 running Windows 7.
I'm not very savvy on PCs, so I don't know where to look for versions of his software et al.
Anyone familiar with such problems?

Toshiba may be doing something different than other manufacturers, so your best bet might be a Toshiba support site.

Another source that may of some help is the Windows troubleshooting guide for WiFi connections:

Not sure how much more help that we can provide on an Apple support site for Apple wireless routers.
