WRT54G Loses Connection & Slows

Hi,
I can get a good connection when wired thru the router. I can also get a good connection using wireless - intermittently. Sometimes it works, then slows down, sometimes no connection despite strong signal.but then it slows, sometimes resets connection. Sometimes it works for days then useless for weeks.
Used neighbours connection (with permission!) flawlessly for a few months - so sure it is the router. Running Vista and any help would be much appreciated -  I will need monosyllabic answers!
Thanks
Solved!

I am a new user with wireless networking, but I might be able to get you started.
Have you set the SSID?
If you do not know what SSID is it is the Service Set Identifier (SSId). For more information I would recomend reading the "User Guide for the Wireless-G Router."
The SSID names your wireless network. With this name you can recognize your own network. Then you know that you are connected to your network and not the network of your neighbor.
Once you have your network properly configured then you can see why there is problems.
See you online.

  • WRT54G loses connection many times an hour

    For some reason, I loose connection to the router config and the internet, many times during a normal web surfing session. I noticed it usually happens when I am 'clicking-thru" web pages quickly. The only way to restore normal function is to cycle the power plug. If i remove the router and go back to my old slower router or direct computer to cable modem connection, I have no problems. I am using the Ver 6 of the router and I am at firmware level V 1.01.0.
    This happens from either one of my 2 wired computers.
    Please help, I can't return the router because I tossed the box in the trash. I have had the unit for about 2 months.
    If I can't fix this, I am going to get another router

    Use a static IP address instead of DHCP.
    Open your Wireless Connection Properties, click on Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), Properties, Use the Following IP Address.
    In the fileds below enter:
    IP Address:  192.168.1.x  where x is any number between 2 and 255.
    Subnet Mask:  255.255.255.0
    Default Gateway:  192.168.1.1
    Then select Use the Following DNS Server Addreses and enter the IP addresses for the Preferred DNS server and the Alternate DNS server.
    You get these numbers from the router.  Go into the router configuration and click on Status. At the biottom of the screen you will see DNS1 and DNS2.  DNS1 is your preferred server, and DNS2 is your alternate server.
    After you enter the DNS addresses, click OK, OK. Your computer will then negoitate a session with the router using the address you specified instead of the router deciding which address to use.
    Good luck!

  • WRT54G loses connection

    my wireless router losses its connection once a day..
    i have two apple computer that wirelessly connect to the router. unplugging the router and plugging it back in seems to fix the problem for about a day...
    what could cause this and what fixes it?
    are there problems when mac and windows machines connect to the same network?
    thanks

    as such there should not be any problems with the MAC and windows getting connected to the same network.....what i would like to know is the version no. of the hardware unit itself.. this might be an issue with the older firmware on the router...try to find out what firmware your router is running on...
    u can access the router by http://192.168.1.1 .. keep the username blank and password is "admin" ( this is the default password )..u can get the firmware under the status tab.....check the latest firmware on www.linksys.com/download ..select teh correct model and version no......download the firmware and save it....now , on the setup page , go to the "administration" tab and under "firmware upgrade" subtab, select the firmware file and click upgrade....
    after upgrading the firmware , reset the router and reconfigure it....

  • Wired PC loses connection with WRT54GS but wireless stays on.

    Occasionally my wired PC connection through the WRT54GS stops. I power down the router and everything comes back OK after powering backup. The wireless signal continues to work even though the wired signal fails. Is there something I need to change to eliminate this problem? My firmware on the WRT54GS is 1.50.6.
    Thanks

    I have the same problem only the wireless unit loses connectivity. Each by itself through the router works fine. Have narrowed it down to the fact that the two computers have different operating systems which causes trouble for the router. Have not found a fix yet though.

  • My Mac OS X 10.6.8 is wakes up slow, occasionally hangs, and my mouse loses connectivity fairly often.

    Recently my Mac has been waking up very slow. It runs all applications slowly when I first start using it. It seems to be better after that. My mouse also loses connectivity several times a day, even with new batteries. Not sure if that is related. When I try to restart it Safari often won't close even when I force it.

    I ran Etrecheck and this was the result.

  • WRT54GS V7 loses connection

    My WRT54GS loses its connection periodically, requiring a reboot to get it functioning. Further, it reliably locks up while I play Starcraft 2, booting me from the game due to a connection timeout with clockwork regularity. In these cases, the router will eventually come back online on its own, but does so faster if I reboot it.
    The router has the newest firmware. What could be the problem? How can I test to determine the issue? 
    Thank you! 

    Have you changed the settings on your router as i have mentioned in the earlier post?
    Since there is no change, you can try to download the firmware from the linksys website and update your router.
    Go to website linksysbycisco.com/downloads.........insert model no of your router in search tab......select proper version of your router........download the firmware file......save that file on desktop
    Firmware Upgrade/Reflash
    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...

  • Download speed veryyyy slow WRT54G cable connection

    Hi there, i have a WRT54G router connected with cables. The wireless option is off in the settings in the menu of the router. I just downloaded a new firmware version 700.4 with was, if i should believe my friends , THE solution for my problems.. but its still very slow..
    I have a cable modem from my internetprovider and have the most expensive connection a person at home could buy... if i connect my pc behind the cablemodem i can download with hundreds of kb/sec.. and a movie download is on my pc within a half an hour.. because i have more pcs i bought this router. so i can play online with more then 1 pc... if i download a movie when im connected trough the router.. ( cable modem----WRT54g-----pc/s ) then i can download with a smashing 5-25kb/sec, so the same movie takes about 4 days to be finished..
    It must be something in the router...
    And another thing when im downloading to much at the same time my router says bye bye.. and the only way to get it going again is pulling the plug ( power supply) and plug it back in. I dont understand this... i would thought that the router knows it limits and when its reached that....it keeps on going at THAT rate...even if the cablemodem or PC can transfer more per sec. ????!!!!.
    Are there any settings i could try to make this thing work properly...
    One more thing.. if the router crashes to often, ( by probebly to much downloads that are busy)... like mine did.... there comes a day it will not funktion anymore, like its dead...I had that 2 times allready, in the last 2 years. ( my internetcablemodem was still giving internet ) SO i went back to the store and got a new one on warranty but this happend 2 times allready....those guys will see me coming for the third time....in a few weeks/months..
    PLZZ HELP ME!!
    I dont know what to do anymore
    Kind regards
    Diederik

    As you had already upgraded the firmware of router .......reset the router for 20-30 seconds ......while holding the reset button .....unplug the power cable..... wait for 10 seconds ....... plug back the power & release the reset ....
    After reset reconfigure the router ......open routers set up page using http://192.168.1.1  .... leave username blank & in password use admin.....
    look for "mac address clone" ......... enable it & click clone your pcs mac...... click save settings.....
    Do power cycle & see whether you are online or not............

  • Dreamweaver very slow when lose connection to intranet

    When not connected or lose connection while intranet
    documents are open,
    id still like to be able to work in dreamweaver yet it is so
    slow like it is trying to find the intranet every second.
    At least it wont give a popup for every open file like
    Dreamweaver mx2004. but it still runs very slow, like switching to
    another application and then switching back to Dreamweaver8, the
    document open becomes active after 20seconds so have to wait.
    Intuitively at least for me, it would be nice if it only
    bothered you when u tried to save the document, a message would
    popup saying ' Orig document path could not be found'. I would stop
    whatever background process is running slowing down dreamweaver.
    Anyway to turn off whatever process this is?

    Hi Murray, the RAM comments were irrelevant, pointless. 32GB RAM vs 4GB RAM?  Sorry, I worked at Microsoft and as a systems integrataion consultant for a number of years.  32bit programmes don't access RAM the same as 64bit, but, having 32gb with a 64Bit OS means RAM usage for a 32bit programme is better managed. Programmes and data files are on seperate drives.  My data files kept are on 3 disk stripe sets.
    The CSS files and the HTML file are on the same drive.  AS an example of performance for data read/writes, I also use Photoshop CS6 to edit images in excess of 2gb in size containg multiple smart object, and I dont experience this type perormance lag.
    In this case, RAM is mainly irrlevent because the file are small, approx 200kb total combined size.  I mentioned RAM in my initial post because any time I've had problems with Adobe products before, I've always been asked how much RAM I have.
    So, can we please drop RAM, and perhaps focus on the problem....
         Dreamweaver, regardless of what background processes I have running, regardless of how much RAM I have, regardless of where the files are kept, has a significant performance hit when editing an HTML file with links to multiple CSS files.

  • WRT54G losing connection periodically

    My setup:
    WRT54G Router
    Firmware Version v4.30.5, Apr. 27, 2006
    Bell Sympatico DSL
    PC with hardline to Router
    Laptop with wireless connection
    A couple times a night, no matter whether the laptop or the PC is being used, I will lose connection to the internet.
    Normally, the Link/Act is blinking, the Full/Coll light is solid green and the 100 light is solid orange/yellow. When I lose connection, the Link/Act light goes solid. If I wait for 3 or 4 minutes, it will usually regain the connection, although occasionally it takes a while longer.
    I have tried cloning my computers MAC address, but that didn't seem to help either.

    Crap.
    I got this unit from my father-in-law, who got it through his work. And he no longer works there, and his job has the receipt.
    I guess it is time to go router-shopping then.
    I need both wireless and wired (for laptop and PC, respectively). Any suggestions??Message Edited by Marcel on 09-05-2006 08:14 PM

  • Mouse loses connection

    I have a Mac Mini and a few months ago I started having problems with the Magic Mouse losing its connection to the computer.  If I wait a few minutes it comes back but in one hour it may drop the mouse 3-4 times. I have used new batteries and even went to the extend of buying a new mouse thinking that it was my old mouse.  But that wasn't the problem because this is even happening with the brand new mouse.  What I notice first is that the mouse's responsiveness starts to change--it isn't as responsive. Then the next thing I see is "Connection Lost."  I have gone into Utilities and have checked that the disk is OK and all my permissions are right.  I was thinking of simply reinstalling the OS but would like to see if others have suggestions.  Also, I don't know if this is related or not but I have a wireless printer that seems to work fine for a while and then it too will drop the connection and the printing will stop only to restart a while later.  Suggestions?

    I might have actually figured out the problem.  Even re-installing the OS did not help. I still got printer errors and my mouse still moved real slow at times and would lose connectivity.  So I hard-wired the printer to the network and turned off the WiFi on the printer. I still got "communication errors".  Then I turned off WiFi on my Mini (it is hard wired to the network), uninstalled the printer, rebooted and reinstalled the printer (although I kept WiFi off for now).  The mouse has worked perfectly well for over an hour and I have printed numerous documents with no problems.  I will let this run for another day and if all is well I will turn WiFi back on on the printer. But for now it looks like running the WiFi on the Mini was causing the problem.
    Thanks for the suggestions, Illaass. They helped getting me to think about conflicts.  I do want to look at my router and see if I can set it to only run on the 5 GHz bandwidth and see if that helps. But I don't need WiFi on the Mini so if keeping it off solves my problem then I am happy.

  • WRT54G Intermittent connection

    I am new to this forum.  I joined in hopes that I could find resolution to my issue....
    I recently installed a new WRT54G and was previously using the B version which I had no issues with.  I am on my 2nd 54G because I thought the first one was defective.  But this one is having the same issue.  So I know it is not because it is defective. 
    Now that I have this new 54G router, at least once or twice a day, I have to reset it because I lose connectivity to it.
    I have done nothing to the router other than the setup information. 
    It seems that I lose connectivity to it from both a wireless and wired perspective.
    Any assitance with this would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi! I think you're having problems with the router's firmware. It will be better if you will try to upgrade the router's firmware. It is actually necessary to do so, I think that router has been manufactured not so long time and needs firmware upgrade.

  • [WRT54G] Random connection drops on hardwired computer but not wireless connections

    I bought a WRT54G, it's a version 6 if that matters, using the latest Linksys firmware.
    The WRT54G is connected to my main desktop and DSL modem, dynamic IP and PPPoE. I set the router with a static IP, there's WPA2 going as well.
    I have a notebook and another desktop computer connected wirelessly.
    The issue is that my main computer will seem to lose its Internet connection randomly for 15 minutes and then come back by itself.
    The problem is hard to describe but I'll try:
    Let's say everything is working fine, I go on www.someforum.com/forums and browse around then I go to www.bestbuy.com and click a few links.
    Then the issue starts, I get a "Cannot find server" to sites I haven't visited yet in this session like Google or eBay. I can't ping them either. However, if I go to Best Buy or here, it still works fine. I can still browse the forums. So, it seems like somehow, if the connection is "cached," everything still works but I can't make new connections.
    Also, during that 15 minutes when my hardwired desktop has the problem, my 2 other computers work fine over wireless.
    I can access my router at 192.168.1.1 at all times.

    Using the 2 procedures that you noted (answer ID 688 and 534) will get you port forwarding to a computer at a fixed LAN IP address behind your router.  This means that your desktop computer would have a fixed LAN IP address that is set in the computer itself, and not assigned by the router's DHCP server.  It sounds like the DHCP server is giving addresses to your other computers.
    It is important to know what fixed LAN IP address you have assigned your desktop computer.  The reason for this is that Linksys has specific rules about assigning fixed LAN IP addresses, and if you don't follow those rules, you can get problems like the one you originally described.  That is the reason that I have pursued this question.
    When you assign a fixed LAN IP address, it must follow these rules:
    1)  Any fixed LAN IP address must be outside the DHCP server range, which is typically 192.168.1.100 thru 192.168.1.149
    2)  The fixed LAN IP address must be consistant with the default gateway address, that is it must typically be in the form of 192.168.1.x
    3)  The "x" in item 2 cannot be equal to 1 or 255
    So typically, a fixed LAN IP address must be in the range of:
    192.168.1.2     thru 192.168.1.99   or
    192.168.1.150 thru 192.168.1.254
    assuming that you did not change your default DHCP server range.
    So for example, if you assigned your desktop computer an address of 192.168.1.101, this could be the cause for your problem.  So what address did you assign to your desktop computer when you used the Answer ID 534 procedure? 

  • WRT54G not connecting

    My buddy called me tonight and said he bought a WRT54G router. He hooked it all up and had it working for a couple hours and decided to unhook and move downstairs. Well when he unhooked and rehooked, he could not get a connection on either computer. I finally got his laptop back on but as soon as you reconnect the desktop they both lose connection. So only one or the other works. You cannot even run on wired and the other wireless. I didnt have any problems with mine like that. I tried restarting everything like 25 times and didnt help. I dont know what the firmware is. I dont know if it would have anything to do with firmware anyway. I would like to help him out if anyone can figure it out. I not computer litirate so try to help us if you can.

    You need your PCs to be using DHCP also. Your router is the DCHP server, your PCs are DHCP clients. Your router will assign IP addresses to the clients that are using DHCP.
    Open Control Panel, Network Connections. Right-click your "Local Area Connecton" and click properties. Click to highlight the bottom entry in the box, "Internet Protocol", and click properties. Make sure "Obtain IP address automatically" and "Obtain DNS server address automatically" are selected.
    Ok and OK, then let the system get addresses. Sometimes rebooting is a good idea, although not necessary (in XP).
    To check what IP address your PC has, click Start, Run, type "cmd" without the quotes in the entry, and press OK. When the DOS window opens, type, without the quotes, "ipconfig". Your IP address will be something like 192.168.1.100. The last number, the 100 or whatever, must be different for all computers on the network.

  • IPad2 loses connectivity to wifi

    Recently my iPad2 has lost connetivity to my wifi network in areas of my home where it was not a problem before. I thought it was a problem with my wife's new 4th gen iPad, but it does not occurs with her new iPad shut down. Her 1st gen iPad does not lose connectivity, nor does either of our MacBook Pros or other devices. It's only the iPad2 and it reconnects when I get within ten feet of my Time Capsule and my Airport Extreme, that I use as a network extender. I have tried setting up the 2.4ghz devices on a separate channel but that deos not seem to work. I have rebooted both the iPad2 and the TC still doesn't solve the problem. I don't believe it is an iOS update problem since it worked fine since the latest update. The only new factor was the 4th gen iPad being used.

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • Airport loses connection but still shows 4 full bars

    I've got a strange problem I haven't been able to figure out myself.
    On my MacBook Core Duo (original 2006) on 10.6.2, my airport loses connection with my wireless router (Linksys WRT54G) after 5-10 minutes of use. My airport still shows a full signal, but I lose all connection (I cannot even see the router itself when I navigate to its IP address in Safari - normally I get the web based configuration panel). If I turn off Airport and then turn it back on again, I get my connection back for another 5-10 minutes.
    I am using WPA encryption.
    I get this problem when my computer is far away from the router or very close.
    I do not get this problem on our other computers - one Vista desktop and and two XP laptops.
    I have no connection problems when I plug my modem directly to the MacBook via ethernet.
    My only thought at this point: there are numerous (8-10) other 802.11x networks in my building. I've done my best to choose a free channel, but the best I can do is choose a channel only 1 channel away from others (i.e., choose 7 when others are on 6 and 8). I wonder if signal interference is an issue...but why would all my Windows machines have no problem?
    I'm out of ideas at this point - I appreciate any help :)! Thanks!

    I am having the SAME exact problem with my Mac. I have a late 2008 white 13" MacBook and it's been upgraded to Snow Leopard and I'm running version 10.6.2. I am wondering if any Apple employees can assist us on this issue or tell us if the impending 10.6.3 upgrade will have a fix for this.
    My Airport will be connected to my wireless network and be working fine. As MBaker22 says, after 5 minutes the connection seems fine, the IP is fine, the network is fine and the network works for other laptops and desktops in my house BUT I can't access the Internet. All of a sudden I have no ability to check for software updates, browse the web or do anything that connects to the Internet.
    Some other strangeness. When I try to hit the IP of my wireless router in my web browser, it asks me for credentials and then just sits there saying Connecting to 192.168.1.1...
    It also only says connecting to www.google.com or www.cnn.com or www.yahoo.com when Airport is behaving this way.
    If I plug in my Ethernet cord to my Mac everything works just fine so this is an Airport issue and probably an issue with Snow Leopard? I'm not sure.
    Anyway the REALLY weird thing is that I can ping some websites and not others in the terminal when Airport starts behaving this way. That might be because of caching but either way.
    Here's a TCPDUMP of my connection on Airport (en1) using Google DNS 8.8.8.8 (but if I use my ISP DNS it still does this):

    Now that's me (192.168.1.104) and my router (192.168.1.1) trying to connect to en.wikipedia.org without success.
    Any help here would be great, especially since I'm not alone.
