WRT54G2 and WRT54G locks-up (freezes) when blocking web sites using Access Restrictions

I am convinced that a few Linksys routers such as WRT54G2 and WRT54G have a major issue when blocking web sites using Access Restrictions (Internet Access Policy). After a few hours of internet access by 15 wired users the Linksys locks-up and blocks all internet web access. The only solution is to restart the power on the router.
We are currently using a Linksys WRT54G2 v1 (firmware 1.0.04). We upgraded the WRT54G2 v1 firmware to the latest 1.0.04 version which did not resolve the issue.  NOTE: We were previosuly using a a Linksys WRT54G v1.1 (firmware 4.21.1) until the power supply blew a week after we started blocking web sites using Access Restrictions (Internet Access Policy).  
Basically, we have a T1 internet connection and a hub connected to the Linksys router. We are trying to block several web sites such as facebook, myspace, etc. for 15 wired users. We do not use wireless connections.
This is the 2nd time it happened with 2 different models.
Please help ASAP.
Thank you,
Lance

Also,  you have already upgrade/re-flash the firmware of your Linksys Router you need to reset and reconfigure your router from scratch. 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...

  • My iPhoto 11, V 9.4.2, locks up/freezes when I attempt to empty the iPhoto trash bin.  Originally, I thought it was due to 800  files in the trash, however, I removed ALL but 5 photos from the trash and it continues to lock up.

    My iPhoto 11, V 9.4.2, locks up/freezes when I attempt to empty the iPhoto trash bin. 
    Originally, I thought it was due to 800+ files in the trash, however, I removed all but 5 photo files from the trash and it continues to lock up.  Inititally the "progress" bar would get to about 1/2 way and then it would stop and stall.  However, now the progress bar no longer shows a progress line it immediately freezes and locks up. Can anyone help? 

    You may have damaged the library - Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library

    What version of OS X are you using? If Yosemite, you need to update to 10.10.1 or higher.
    In any case, start by going to the editor preferences>general, clicking this button and restarting the editor:

  • I've just upgraded my software to 10.8.5 and have discovered this morning that the autofill feature freezes when I try to use it.

    I've just upgraded my software to 10.8.5 and have discovered this morning that the autofill feature freezes when I try to use it. I have worked through all of the suggestions in HELP. The autofill prompt appears when I start to fill in a form but doesn't then provide the option box to select autofill from my contact card, the autofill prompt remains on the screen and can only be cleared by closing Safari and then reopening it. This never happened before and in fact autofill has been working perfectly up until now.

    You can create another iCloud account easily enough, but you will only be able to create a new @icloud.com address to go with it, not @me.com - and you can't transfer your @me.com address from the other account.Creating a new account will have no effect on the existing one.
    However you don't need to create a new iCloud account to create an additional ermail address. You can add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (New aliases can only be @icloud.com ones; @me.com addresses cannot now be created.)
    You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account, move it to another account, or reactivate it if you delete it.
    More information on aliases here:
    http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a
    While you can delete aliases, you cannot delete the address you created when you opened the account.

  • MacBook Pro 13" i7 2011 Freezing when I'm not using it.

    I've got the 2011 MacBook Pro 13" i7 with 256GB SSD. It runs really2x fast and am very pleased with it. However, It has a weird issue... It totally freezes when I'm not using it sometimes. It's happened three times now and every time it freezes it would be when i left it for a while like seconds to 5 mins and when i get back it's already frozen. Note, it didn't freeze from coming from screensaver or sleep. How I left the screen is what I see when I get back. I can't move the cursor, the keys don't respond, when I close the lid it doesn't sleep. I'd have to press and hold the power button to force shut it down and boot up again.
    I've already contacted Apple Support the second time it happened. The tech was friendly and we did some reseting of PRAM and stuff. I just put up iStat on my menubar to see if anything weird would show there if it ever freezes again after now the third time it happened!
    Please help! This is annoying.
    My specs:
    Mac OS X 10.6.7
    MacBook Pro 13" i7 20011
    2.7 GHz, 8GB ram, 256GB SSD.

    Thanks,
    The sad thing is where I am, I don't think there are Apple replacements here yet. I had my mac bought in the US and brought by relatives all the way to the southern part of the Philippines.
    It's just weird. I would understand more if my mac froze under a heavy task which so far it hasn't. I have run TWO Windows 7 instances: one Boot Camp, the other virtual, had a whole lot of applications running and while Even playing Star Craft 2! And it run so smoothly I was so impressed. It just so happens to hang when I leave it there doing nothing! ??

  • After updating my plugins firefox 5.0.1 still hangs/freezes when loading web pages.

    After making sure my plug-ins were updated, firefox 5.0.1 hangs/freezes when loading web pages.

    I changed the setting, but unfortunately, this didn't fix the problem. This situation does seem to occur more, when I load or reload my eBay home page. I noticed that all data and information would go ahead and load, but the random ads bar would not immediately load and when I would left click anywhere on the page, Firefox would temporarily freeze, the page turns white, Firefox not responding will display, and then the banner would load and everything is fine. I'm wondering if it has something to do with my Flash Player. Any additional suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Reggie

  • I would like to use GarageBand to remaster downloaded music files that are in iTunes.  Poorly mastered files keep clipping and damaging my speakers.  When I try to use an iTunes file as a new project, it greys out the iTunes songs so I can't select them.

    I would like to use GarageBand to remaster downloaded music files that are in iTunes.  Poorly mastered files keep clipping and damaging my speakers.  When I try to use an iTunes file as a new project, it greys out the iTunes songs so I can't select them.  Any ideas?

    As I said - look whether your original file is damaged or not. If not, I wouldn't change it and find out what in your system makes it sound like it's clipping.
    Good sound file, with volume maxed out. No need to change anything.
    The same song clipped - no chance to repair.

  • Help! I'm in UK and need to recharge but when I plug in (using a power converter) the square white batter pack is buzzing - what does it mean????

    Help! I'm in UK and need to recharge but when I plug in (using a power converter) the square white unit is buzzing - what does it mean? I am using a power adaptor that works for other items - shaver, phone etc. and they don't buzz - it's coming from the square white unit before it's connected to the computer so I don't want to then connect my mac incase it means there's something wrong. Getting desperate as I need to recharge!! Thanks for any help!

    Hi
    If you're using a converter that changes the voltage from the UK ~230V to say 120V, rather than just a converter to different outlet/plug/socket sizes - then that's likely the problem.
    All the Apple power units I've seen are rated from 100V to  240V & do not require any sort of voltage converter, just something to let you plug it into a UK outlet (or an Apple cable/connector set). Many cheap voltage converters can cause buzzing as you've described.
    Many supermarkets & hardware/general stores will sell the right 'adaptor' for a couple of £UK - I'd find one rather than continue with the buzzing.

    ok  Can I tell when it is stopped or if it didn't work.  It is still saying the same thing.  I can't see a progress bar or anything.  Do you have any idea how long it usually takes.  Just curious so I know i din't make another mistake

  • WRT54GS2 hangs frequently when using Access Restrictions

    I have a WRT54GS2 with firmware 1.0.02. Recently I started using Access Restrictions creating 3 policies configured for daily/24hour access with website blocking by URL and URL Keywords. Blocking 3 sites and 15 keywords. It works fine but now the router hangs ever so often seemingly randomly. When it hangs I loose internet connectivity from my computers and I have to power cycle the router to restore function. Without the Access Restrictions it seems to run stable for weeks without any problems. Any ideas or workarounds? Any firmware fixes on the way?
    /Fred

    I tried with a single rule after the reset procedure and still had problems later on. Like this: Internet Access Policy 1 set to Enable, Allow, Everyday, 24 Hours, NO blocked servies, NO web site url blocking, 6 adult key words. Runs fine sometimes for many hours but then suddenly the router disappears. I have multiple devices (iPhones/iTouche/wired PCs, wireless laptops) in the network going through this router. I've disabled the policies this evening to verify that it's stable without access restrictions.

  • Why can I not get my user ID to "stick" when visiting web sites that I am registered with?

    Why can I not get my user ID to "stick" when visiting web sites that I am registered with?

    Look in settings, safari.  There are two setting that might help, depending on how the website wants to see you.  If they are using cookies, make sure your accept cookies switch is on.
    Then look at the autofill setting.  You can turn names and passwords on or off.

  • Can I have music played automatically when my web site opens?

    I have gotten as far as placing an audio clip on my "about me" page but it seems to require hitting play in order to hear it. Is there a way to have the audio played automatically when the web site comes up? Also can you have it continue to all of the pages? Or is there some other stuff I am missing??
    Thanks!

  • Why does the pop up window for a printable coupon only appears briefly (in the upper left corner) and then disappear, even after putting the web site into the Tools,Options,Content,Pop-Up Exceptions?

    I am at http://www.closys.com/samples_&_coupons/get_a_coupon.html and the pop up window for a printable coupon only appears briefly (in the upper left corner) and then disappears, even after putting the web site into the Tools,Options,Content,Pop-Up Exceptions. What gives and how can it be fixed. I have a time limit.
    Thanks for your solution.

    Mha007:
    Sorry, but I have already tried this too and verified that the web addresses are listed as Allow, rather than Block. After restart there was no difference, I still get the disappearing pop-up windows.
    Thanks for offering suggestions though.
    Have you heard of any issues like this occurring based on the number of tabs that are open in Firefox?
    Just a thought, even though I have not heard of this as an issue before. I keep about 80 tabs open regularly, because of research that I am always conducting (I am a blogger, a writer/author, a technophile-especially Green Tech.,), email, work, etc.?
    I do have a check in the box for Firefox to let me know if the number of open tabs is causing slow down or other issues.
    Thanks for any help.

  • We are evaluating the use of iPod touch devices to record best practice videos on our manufacturing floor and to post to an internal Moodle web site. How can you upload a video from the iPod touch to a site other than YouTube?

    We are evaluating the use of iPod touch devices to record best practice videos on our manufacturing floor and to post to an internal Moodle web site. How can you upload a video from the iPod touch to a site other than YouTube? The Moodle upload interface is expecting a file selection dialog box like windows or OSX. I do not want to have to go through an intermediary step of messing with a pc.
    Thanks!

    It should be around 7 and a half gigs. In iTunes, across the bottom there should be a bar that show how much storage is being used and by what. (music, movies, apps, etc.) To make music take up less room, you can check the box to make it convert the music to 128kbps AAC. This lowers the quality, but with most earbuds and speakers, you can't even tell the difference.
    The iPod touch has parental controls built in. You'll find them in Settings. I think they only work for enabling/disabling Safari, Mail, YouTube, and App Store. Here's an app that does more: http://www.mobicip.com/online_safety/ipod_touch
