A POSSIBLE FIX FOR RE1000 CONNECTION ISSUES!

My Amazon Review for the Linksys RE1000:
I have been an Amazon customer for several years and this is my first review ever. I'm only taking the time to post this review due to my utter frustration with this product.
Here are the bullet points of my experience.
1) I consider myself to be extremely tech savvy and pride myself on having the patience to eventually get technology to work.
2) I have purchased two of these units. I returned the first one out of frustration (also wanted to rule out a defective unit) and spent countless hours trying to make the second one work. As many reviewers have stated this unit constantly drops the router/internet connection. Mine never lasted for more than two minutes at best. It just constantly cycled the connection on and off over and over again.
3) Linksys Tech Support is provided by foreign nations and proved totally worthless.
4) I literally tried every tech suggestion I could find online via Google. I did my best to leave no stone unturned assuming somewhere there had to be an answer. If you can find a suggestion online, believe me, I tried it.
5) After 6 hours with my second unit, VICTORY! Through a rigorous trial and error process I FINALLY GOT MY UNIT TO WORK!!!
6) My solution (not sure if it's going to be everyone's): 1 - Flash the unit with the most updated firmware via the support site (using an Ethernet cable). 2 - Download the auto setup program from the Linksys website and run it following all the instructions. 3 - Here's the MAGIC TRICK that worked for me. Once you have it set up and running you are free to change any setting in the firmware EXCEPT "WPS" under "Wi-Fi Protected Setup" which is under "Basic Wireless Settings". I REPEAT in the "Wi-Fi Protected Setup" under "Basic Wireless Settings", "WPS" must REMAIN ENABLED and LEFT SET AS IT IS during the auto setup. 4 - Use a static IP address and 20 Mhz only for channel width to ensure a stable connection and to minimize wireless interference. 5 - Verify the proper strength and quality of the signal under "WLAN Statistics" and reposition the unit (and/or change the router channel) as necessary.
7) I have TESTED this multiple times, turning the WPS on and off repeatedly. My connection drops or stays active based ONLY upon this setting (even after plugging and unplugging the unit from the electrical socket). I can literally set my watch by it. No other setting has this negative effect and I've changed them all.
8) I suspect half of the reviews are positive regarding this unit because many are simply using the auto setup successfully and then leaving their settings untouched. Unwittingly touch the wrong setting (WPS) and you're back to square one with a useless gray box.
9) This unit has the potential to be an excellent product, instead it's a nightmare to deal with. My guess is it's a victim of lousy firmware and lousy quality control via Linksys. The shame is it could probably be quickly fixed with a simple firmware update.
10) I hope this review helps others with their frustrations. I'd be curious to know.

PS: One last tip! If you really want to play it safe, be sure set your router's LAN IP address to anything other than 192.168.1.1 (use 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.2.1 or 192.168.107.1 for example). That is the default address for the RE1000 and it's been known to cause an IP conflict with many routers that use the same default IP address. Apparently changing the static IP address on the RE1000 is not enough, as the default IP address of 192.168.1.1 still adheres to the RE1000 (hidden somehow) even after the fact for some unknown reason.

  • Fix for wireless connection issues on MacBook Pro - reinstall OS!

    I hope this helps some of you out there.
    I was having all the usual problems with connectivity with the MacBook Pro I bought in January 09. It dropped the signal constantly and if I closed the top, it would make me search for my network again then it would give me the "connection timeout message" over and over again. I couldn't get anything done either at home or anywhere else. I finally took it in to the genius bar but they couldn't replicate the problem so I was sent home. The guy did, however, suggest reinstalling the OS (which I thought was a dumb idea since it had to be the airport card right?). Since it was a week away from the release of Snow Leopard I waited.
    Once I installed Snow Leopard all was fixed. It has now been almost 2 weeks and I haven't lost a signal once - the difference is amazing. I feel liberated!!
    Try a reinstall or upgrade to 10.6. and good luck. Post here to let us know if it works for you. Don't forget to backup your date first!

    Nope I'm not trying to tether.  I would like to be able to use a wifi connection on my mac and other devices.  I've gotten by so far just hooking up my mac to the ethernet port, but that requires me to be in my room.  I know its possible since there a bunch of networks nearby (locked of course), but I just can't figure out how to get mine working.
    I'm living in an apartment across the street from campus that is sort of school-owned...well its private but the internet service is provided by the campus since only students live here.  So we have to register anything that we want to use on the school's network.  On campus I can use wifi on my mac or iphone.  Its troubling how I can use the ethernet cable just fine, but when I connect it to my router (which I registered through the school as well)...nothing.  Technically this should be working easily - but maybe you're right on the network security accessability...or maybe my router is old...or my mac doesn't like my router?  I've had this problem before during my undergrad years except I was dealing with a cable provider and not the school.
    Maybe I should just make friends with my neighbors and find out how they set up theirs haha.

  • 10.6.2 Still no fix for SMB connection issues

    Sorry folks 10.6.2 has not resolved the issue with connecting to a Windows(yuck) server using SMV where the share has multiple mapped drives. Seems to work fine for connecting to a single shared drive where it did not before but multiple drives still a no no.
    Roll on 10.6.3!

    Hi Direwolf8
    It's the same issue that most people are having in a number of other threads.
    Basically in the Finder if you select a network drive (or in the printers dialog windows shared printer) that has a number of named shares in it you can only connect to it once. For example:
    We have a file print server - called FP. On FP are a number of mapped drives. (Databases, General, Departments etc). In the list of Shared locations (left column of any Finder Window) if I select FP and the drive I want it connects and lets me view the files. However if I close this Window or try to connect to another shared drive it times out and doesn't even show a list of the shared drives on the FP.
    The only work around is to use: go/connect to server and then smb://ip_address:139 (from http://www.macwindows.com/snowleopard-filesharing.html#090209d ) However in this work around you have to select ALL the drives you may wish to connect to and have them mounted on your desktop. If you close the connection or want to connect to a different share it times out. Leaving you needing to restart.
    The other work around touted of using a fully numeric password is not an option (according to our IT department)
    It's the same with network printers. You connect to the server with the printers on it and set up a printer. If you want to add another printer on the same server you have to restart to get it to show the list again.
    I know its not a server set up issue as I have 3 Leopard Macs (10.5.8) running and connecting fine. Its defo a Snow Leopard thing.
    I was really hoping this issue would go away with 10.6.2 but denied!
    If anyone has got this working PLEASE post your solution here. Its the only thing stopping me from Upgrading my Mac Pro to Snow Leopard!
    Appreciate any help anyone can offer on this!

  • Possible fix for OS X 10.5.7,  losing connection after sleep, restart

    Possible fix for OS X 10.5.7, Airport, losing connection after sleep, restart, or cold reboot.
    Issue: (For OS X 10.5.7 on iMac5,1, Intel Core 2 Duo)
    =============================================
    - After sleep, restart, cold reboot, even though cannot connect to Internet, but the AirPort bars are still full, as if connected.
    - Losing Internet connection after sleep, restart, cold reboot.
    Possible Fix:
    1.Open Network Preference, click on the Location drop down list > Edit Location... > click on the wheel button > Duplicate Location.
    a)Select this newly setup location; Use Diagnostic button to connect to the internet. Select Network or enter WEP password if necessary.
    b)Test to make sure you can connect to a web page.
    c)Go to sleep & wake up.
    d)This time, the Airport bar will start to show correctly. Before, it will always be full even when not connected. Now there will be no bars or grey out when not connected.
    2.On the left hand side of the Network Preference Window, there is a list of services, such as Airport, build-in ethernet, built-in FireWire, bluetooth, etc.
    a)Click on the wheel button on the bottom of the service list; select Set Service Order...; move Airport to the top of the list.
    b)Delete any services which you are sure that you are not going to use, such as Bluetooth, etc.
    3.Pick one of the locations mentioned in #1, and make it sure it is connected. If not, use Diagnostic button. If you have to select Network or enter WEP password to connect, make it so.
    a)Check to make sure you can connect to a web page.
    4.Go to sleep & wake up. The Airport bar should be filled up quickly. Try to connect to a web page.
    5.Restart computer. Test a web page.
    6.Shut down & Start computer. Test a web page.
    7.When everything is working fine, you can delete the extra location that you created in step #1.
    8.Click the lock on the left lower corner of the Network Preference window to safeguard the setting.

    If my assessment is correct, the LIDE 200 driver is version 14.8.1 and dated 26-Sep-2008. It is possible that the driver will not work with the latest version of OSX. I would advise that you contact Canon and ask them the question.
    (Removed link because of the way Flash drives the Canon site).
    It is not uncommon (though irritating) that devices no longer work when an OS is upgraded. One has to ask the question if (or why) the driver was not written in such a way as to be OS version independent.
    Chris
    I spoke to Canon over here in Australia. Not helpful at all. In fact they were about as useful as an ashtray on on motorcycle. Having said that the tech seemed to think that there would be an update soon. But that is assuming that Canon are aware that there is a problem with that Scanner under OS X 10.5.7.

  • Possible fix for errors 11503 and 50

    Here's a possible fix for Error 11503 and for error 50.
    It worked for me and hopefully it will work for you.
    I believe this error is caused by the incomplete downloading of either an update to an app. In my case it was caused by closing the lid on my laptop when I was downloading app updates on a very slow internet connection in a hotel.
    Anyway, here is what I did that fixed it completely.
    Close iTunes.
    Go to this folder : /iTunes/Mobile Applications/Downloads
    You'll find tmp files there. Drag them out of this folder to a temporary folder on your desktop. The Downloads folder should now be empty.
    Restart iTunes.
    All should be fine.
    If it is, delete the desktop folder with all the temp files.
    If it's not, then I can't help further, but that's what worked for me.

    Several possible causes from the info you gave
    Battery level low - recharge it for at least 4 hours till the full charge sign displays (2 prong icon instead of lightning icon).
    Time to Reset the iPod - Press the Menu and center Button for about 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON, then let go of the buttons.
    your hardisk is starting to give problems, hence the skipping and some song refuse to play. - Do a disk diagnostic - follow this post by tt2.
         https://discussions.apple.com/message/17028567#17028567
    If you have updated any sofware application in Windows, then follow this Apple support procedure
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1539
    Most likely you have to do all, as the iPod hardisk filesystem would have been corrupted, or else the iPod Reset would bring it to normal operation.
    Good Luck!

  • Fix for cannot connect to iTunes store

    I have been working on this problem (iTunes for Windows) since April 2012 and finally got it working. I have gone through all the suggested "advanced" trouble shooting procedures with no luck. I even tried opening a work order with them which was a waste of time because they had me retry everything I had already tried and never read my responses. I am attaching all my notes on what I have tried since the beginning. What I think was the issue all along was .net 4. The fix was listed in 12-03-12 where I removed everything, including .net 4, installed an earlier version back when iTunes was still working. I am now running version 11.0.1.12 and it is still working, Good Luck!
    ===============================================================
    12-05-12
    Updated to latest version of iTunes 11.0.1.12
    Windows had put back .net ver 4
    Did repair of .net 4 from control panel, add/remove programs
    Did repair of iTunes from control panel, add/remove programs
    Went to store tab, review my Apple ID, it displayed my account info
    From there went to the music icon, selected one of the drop down options
    Store displayed all the music in that category
    Store is still working
    ===============================================================
    Fixed 12-03-12!!!
    Removed iTunes, all the apple crap, bonjour and QuickTime
    Rebooted and reinstalled an earlier version of  iTunes ver 10.3.1 9 (still didn't work)
    Removed .NET (it was ver 4)
    Rebooted and retried iTunes, still no iTunes store.
    Removed iTunes ver 10.3.1, rebooted and reinstalled iTunes ver 10.3.1 with no .NET stuff at all and it worked.
    So iTunes didn't need the .NET stuff to work but it must have been corrupted in a way that won't let it connect to the iTunes store correctly.
    Next I am going to upgrade to the latest version without .NET to see if it still works. If not I will fall back.
    ===============================================================

    When I called Apple (after wating 42 min. for a live person) I was told to run the APPLE Software Update and turn off location services then restart my computer.  There were no available updates. The iPod touch I got on Christmas day.  The iTunes app was downloaded the same day.  Since day 1 I have not been able to connect.  I also followed lllaass's advice and followed instructions on the following 2 websites.

    After restarting my computer:
    From the iTunes app I click on the 'iTunes Store'
    A new window opens and I get the following message:
    This Apple ID has not yet veen used with the iTunes Store.
    Please review your account information
    So I click on 'Review' and am taken to a crude screen that says
    Welcome to the iTunes Store
    With an Apple ID, you can download the latest music, videos, and more.
    To begin creating your Apple ID, click Continue.
    So I click on 'Continue'
    A pop up window says:
    We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-1202).
    There was an error in the iTunes Store.  Please try again later.
    And the only option I am left with is to click 'OK'
    After every fix this same scenerio just loops and loops and loops

  • Possible Fix for Printing Problems in Leopard

    I got this information from Mac OS X Leopard Edition book by David Pogue. Here's his possible fix for printing problems in Leopard...Open web browser and enter this address http://127.0.0.1:631. You'll find youself at a secret "front end" for CUPS (Common UNIX Printer System), the underlying printing technology for Mac OS X 10.5. This trick lets your Mac communicate with a huge array of older printers that dopn't yet have Mac OS X drivers. Using this administration screen, you can print a test page, stop your printer in its tracks, manage your networked printers and print jobs, and more–a very slick trick. Haven't tried it yet...anyone who does let me know how it worked!

    If you literally "checked" them, meaning the checkboxes, that only affects their visibility. To remove them, select one and then click on the "minus" part of the "plus minus" at lower left.

  • A Fix for Wireless Connection Problems

    I’ve been struggling with connection problems for a week. Thankfully, I found a fix. Your mileage may vary, but this may be your answer:
    Fix for Wireless Connection Problems on MacBook Pro

    Yeah BR, please tell me what your cure is. I have the same setup as you, Vista with the same wireless card you have. Cannot stay connected to the internet. Have spent hours on the phone with tech support and they can't fix it. I hate this f....ing computer, will never buy another one. Please let me know what you did. Once I get it running right I'm selling it and will buy a cheap Dell, never have any problems with them. I have keyboard problems, capital letter problems, connection problems, and download can take 1 to 2 days. Pure BS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hi JBKL, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    For the Ethernet Location... Is that Interface dragged to the top of Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations?
    It may be that the Router needs a Firmware update to keep up with the OS Updates... check online, don't trust any automatic checking feature in the Router.
    Where are we now?

  • Possible fix for some dlink routers with wifi issues

    I found something online that stated that if you turn off a feature  called WMM that it can help or fix some wifi issues, and on my dlink  dir-268 it seems to be working. Now without this feature turned off I  could connect to my wifi but not much else, with it off I have checked  websites online and also for the first time been able to download a  300MB+ file.  I dont know if it is still used on the newer dlink routers  but it could be at least a temp fix for some.  For my router it is located under the advanced/ advanced wireless settings
    Please post your results if you find this feature on your router, and list what model you have and if it worked so if it fixes problems for enough people mabe we can let dlink know of this find. could help in getting a fix out for the router firm ware or mabe even the android os.

    Wouldn't really be a fix... more a workaround. However...
    Both my Plus account, and a free test account I set up, don't have reliable push... so I think the problem is a little more complex than this.
    While there has been a theory that free accounts work (which I have not experienced), I don't think Apple or Yahoo have ever stated that push was only intended to work for free accounts...

  • Possible fix for unable to eject ipod, files are in use by another program

    If you get the above message and are using itunes 7, this may be a possible fix. Open itunes and connect your ipod. When you get the main screen, uncheck the box "open itunes when this ipod is connected" and then click apply in the lower right of the screen. After your ipod has finished updating (top of itunes says update complete) you must eject the ipod using the safely remove hardware from your tray in the taskbar. Unplug you ipod, close itunes. Now, open itunes and connect your ipod. After it updates, you should safely remove the ipod. Good luck.
    pc   Windows XP Pro  

    Easy way. Reset the iPod, then disconnect when you see the Apple logo.
    Another way. Hold ctr-alt-del to bring up the Windows Task Manager. Go to the Processes tab and look for iTunesHelper.exe and iPodService.exe. Select them and hit the End Process button. Close the Windows Task Manager Window and try ejecting the iPod via the safely remove hardware method.
    

If you are still having problems you can try one more thing. Right click on the My Computer icon and select Manage from the list of actions. Go to the Services and Applications item and from there the services item. Double click on the services item to bring up the list of services currently installed on your computer. Look for the iPod Service and double click on it. From the new window select Stop. Now try again to eject using the safely remove hardware option.
    

If all else fails shut down the computer and disconnect the iPod.

  • Is there a fix for the 'mute' issue when receiving/makings calls?  I can hear them but they can't hear me..

    I've read about this being a common issue with the iPhone 4S, particularly with iOS 5.1.1.  I spoke with someone at apple tech support and did a hard reset - no luck.  She mentioned that replacing the phone was a possible solution but I'd rather use that as a last resort - I haven't heard the greatest things about turn around time with apple's warranty.
    Is there a fix for this?  The person on the other end (whether it's an outbound or an inbound call) can't hear me at all.  I can hear everything fine.  Speakerphone works fine.  Facetime works fine.  Checked my mute button, on/off/on/off, no luck.  Checked all my settings and can't figure it out.
    Any ideas?

    I ended up getting a new phone, straight through Apple.  I called their technical support and went through all he basics again and they decided to replace it.  Was a pretty quick process - after defaulting and resetting the whole phone (about 2 hours),  I called them back to inform that there was no change, so they set up the order.
    I had to give my CC# so they could hold a charge on it (in case I didn't send my old phone bach, which they sent me a pre-posted package to send it in anyway).  Had a brand new iPhone 4S in my hands in 4 days, which was pretty decent.  I had uploaded everything previously to iCloud, so setting up the new phone was a snap.
    Only thing I really didn't like was they charged me almost 30 bucks for shipping or processing, or something.  Not so sure that should have been my responsibility after spending so much on a brand new product, only to have to have it warrantied after, like, a month.

  • Is there a fix for the connectivity problems with iPhone 5S and ISO 7.0.2?

    Is there a fix for the bluetooth connectivity problems with iPhone 5S and ISO 7.0.4?
    I am having problems connecting the BT Audio and the handsfree phone connectyion is unreliable in 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer XL.
    All worked OK with ISO 6.

    Hello CraigNicholson
    You would need to sync with iTunes to get that process to work for you. Check out the article below for more information on how to resolve that issue to get the proper token to use Push Notifications again.

  • A possible fix for adobe reader icons on windows 2000 with SP4

    *This is not a problem! I am posting here because I have received help from some other part of this problem and I have read in other places where people have problems with making the pdf icon appear.*
    If the icons won't show after installing adobe reader 9 on your computer, then there is a possible fix you guys can try. Right click on 'Start' for explorer or click on 'My Computer'.
    Click Tools > Folder Options > File Types (tab)
    Try to find the pdf extension in that long list of extensions.
    Below the 'Change...' button, it should read 'Restore' (i'm not sure about this). Click on it once so that it should now read 'Advanced'.
    The restore function is to restore the icons to those files which have lost their identities, so to speak.

    No issues when setting back as per you instruction below.
    Thank you very much.
    Why would I have such an experience in the first place?
    Rgds,
