Access point --- Internet losing connection every 5 minutes....

i have a wrt54g v6 router and a wmp54g both current drivers and firmware from the linksys website. i am frequently losing connection between router and internet. i've lowered my mtu, i've forwarded ports, reinstalled card in all 4 pci slots, i've literally done everything i know possible to do. i sat on the phone for 4 hours waiting on a linksys technician before my phone died friday trying to get ahold of someone for some help. resetting the router doesn't seem to help at all. the connection loss time is random aswell. sometimes it's for minutes sometimes it's for 10 seconds, but when you're playing online games that's all it takes to disconnect you. i've been going absolutely crazy trying to fix this so if anyone has any idea's i would be ever so greatful.

First off all i don't suggest to play online games on wireless since as we all know wireless is such an unstable media for connection.
Can you tell me the distance between the computer and the router. Also what is in the direct environment of the network.
Are you using a 2.4 GHz cordless phone. This device is can cause intermittent internet connection on wireless networks
we still have to isolate the problem just in case something else is causing your problem.

Keep losing connection every 15 minutes

As the topic say, I keep losing connection about every 15 minutes, which has been ongoing
for more than 24 hours. This is starting to get on my nerves, I'm running a business and every
time I get cut out, I lose a lot of money. BT Infinite suppose to be relyable and stable
and here I am with this flashing modem, paying 45 pounds a month for this **bleep**. This is not the
first time this is happening, what the F are you going to do about it?
I would like to cancel my contract before it runs out, since you are not delivering what promised.
Im relying on a stable connection.

Why does my mouse keep losing connection every minute

why does my mouse keep losing connection every minute, its not the batteries

I'm having the same issue. Every so often it loses connection then re establishes. This goes on repeatedly.
If you change batteries while the computer is still active then it takes for ever to re connect.
Can't wait until someone replies to your question.

Loosing internet connection every 15 minutes

I am "loosing" my internet connection every 15 minutes. The cable box was replaced. Internet sharing is off. The firewall is on and no ports are checked. But, every 15 minutes, I get a message (using Safari) that there is no connection. I select network diagnostics and after I go through a few steps, all the buttons are green and then the connection works. This is very problematic, though, since I am loosing work while working online. Any suggestions?

Hi otobinchicago,
The fact is you can delete the .plist (com.apple.networkConfig.plist) and re-enter your setting and you will find out if this is the problem, but as I can assure you I have been through the same process. Reconfiguring the computer, the modem, etc, and it was the hardware.
You could try taking your computer to a friends house linking it to their modem and testing it that way. As long as the post-computer to ISP link is nothing to do with your hardware, you will see that it could be hardware or software.
My bet is that it is hardware. It sounds too similar to what I had.

Can't connect to Access Point that is connected to the Internet (Snow Leopard 10.6.8)

Hi all,
I am normally not someone who posts on support forums since most of the problems can be solved be searching through piles of other questions, but this things has really got me pulling out my hair and I hope that maybe someone can help me with this super weird problem.
So, a few weeks back, my Mac Mini (kind of old, guessing 2007) stopped connecting to Wireless networks. Since all other devices in home (iPhone, MacBook Pro and a PC) are connecting just fine I thought it had to do with my settings. All it says is: "connection timeout".
The Mac Mini connects just fine when I plug in an ethernet cable, but that's a no go since I don't want cables laying around our living room that much.
I tried a lot of things suggested my other people like removing settings, PRAM reset, moving the AP closer, router settings etc etc. Of no avail. Even tried to fix it by reinstalling Snow Leopard, but that didn't do it either.
Though when I turned my MBP into an Access Point it could connect to that network just fine. That made me wonder if it's my router, but once I plug in an ethernet cable into my MBP to share Internet access it won't connect! Tried the same with my router and indeed, it connects just fine once it has no Internet connection.
Tried searching for people that had the same problem, but I couldn't find them. Can anybody here help?
TLDR; Mac won't connect to Wireless network that has an internet connection, but does when it hasn't.
Thanks!

Try disconnecting the router from the internet (WAN port) and plugging a PC directly into one of the LAN ports. After resetting, ignore the smartwifi login, click the two checkboxes, and login manually/directly with the "admin" password and reconfigure.
If you don't want to do all that just yet, try accessing the router from the public IP address assigned by your ISP. That might work

Losing wireless every few minutes

My macbook pro is losing its internet connection every few minutes (wireless on at&t 2wire router). I have to stop and restart airport to regain connection.
Other macs on the same router work fine. On this one, istumbler will not launch. It worked once then get unexpected error crash after that. Is that a clue?

iStumbler depends on a stable wireless connection to be able to display any data. If you can't establish a good wireless connection, iStumber cannot run.
Any cordless phones in the vicinity of the MacBook? Any other electronic devices like televisions or amplifiers near the MacBook? Any metal obects like a cabinet or bookshelf near the MacBook?

When I connect my apple tv to my access point upstair and connect my ipad to the same access point i cant see my apple tv when i open up the airplay menu on my ipad. but i can see the apple tv in the living room downstair which connect to the main router

when I connect my apple tv to my access point upstair and connect my ipad to the same access point i cant see my apple tv when i open up the airplay menu on my ipad. but i can see the apple tv in the living room downstair which connect to the main router.
Below is some info i get about ports.
I tried to set DMZ on my main router to have full access to ported to access point upstair which is in the ip of 192.168.1.2 and the main router in the living room is the gateway router with the 192.168.1.1 ip.
I still cant see apple tv after i try the DMZ method.
any suggestion ?
These network ports are used by Apple TV for communications on your network.
TCP port 123 is used to communicate with a network time server.
TCP port 3689 is used to communicate with iTunes while using the iTunes Library Sharing feature.
UDP port 5353 is used by Apple TV for automatically finding computers with iTunes on your network using Bonjour.
TCP port 80 is used for communicating with podcast servers.
TCP port 80 and 443 are used for basic and secure communications with the iTunes Store via the Internet.
TCP port 53 is used for regular DNS.
These are well-known ports used by Apple products, like iTunes. If you can use all the features of iTunes, these ports are likely already open on your firewall or NAT router. Note: These ports may also used by other services such as YouTube and Flickr.

When the Apple TV is paired with a remote, it means only that remote can control it, when it's not paired any remote can control it. You will need a remote for each of your devices.

BT Homehub 2 dropping connection every few minutes

Hi, my homehubs been working perfectly until today when it started dropping the connection every few minutes (ranging from 3 minutes up to 13). The broadband and phone lights go out then orange and then back to blue after about a minute.
Having browsed the forums etc Ive changed the location of the hub, changed channels, checked cabling and changed the microfilter.
Im now at a bit of a loss. The firmware is Version 8.1.H.J (Type A) and i notice that the firmware updated on todays date.
Im hoping someone has some ideas as im all out now.
Thanks

I have the same problem friday afternoon at 4.30 to 11.30 at night the router reset itself every five minutes ....the prob first started in nov 2010 i have had 3 home engineer visits and finally we might be getting somwhere it looks like its caused by interferance on the line the phones fine its the broadband ,looking at the engineers meter it was running fine then all of a sudden it spikes erros 21,000 of them the router reboots and steadys again .......somthings causing line interferance it could be anything a pir on a security light ,a street lamp with a faulty timer ,there has even been a case where a car tyre garage has had its broadband removed by sombodys faulty tv .......
the engineer fitted a resistor box under the wall socket and ran the wires through it to the socket ...this is disigned to filter out certain frequencies of line pollution but not all ......it seems to be working its only shut down twice tonight and that could be the exchange mucking about as they are continuing to monitor the problem ......HOPING ....... oh he also removed the front of the wall socket and fitted me a dsl one with a separate phone socket hence doing away with the dsl filter ......................

HT6147 Cannot access the Internet while connected to Wi-Fi after updated to ios 7.06!

I updated my Iphone 5s to ios 7.06 yesterday (2014, Feb 27) and i could not access the internet while connected to Wi-Fi.
According to: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398, my IP address is 192.168.xxx.xxx, not 169.254.xxx.xxx!!! How can I fix this?

Reboot your router. The phone is picking out the router address. Unplug it from power for about 15 seconds then turn it back on. While that is happening, on the phone go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.

Your AP-manager and management interfaces is mapped to port 1:
ap-manager                       1    80       10.41.80.2      Static Yes    No
only APs connected to port 1 will work.
You need to either use a switch and keep port 1 connected to it while APs join through the switch or you need to create a new ap-manager interface. not even sure if you can map it to the same port or different port! not even sure about the management interface!! it is mapped to port 1 and should be reachable anyway. it is a mess!!! have you read the best practice document that I put the link for earlier?
So you need eventually a switch to fix your issue. direclty connected APs are not recommended.
I am still not knowing how Cisco provided such swtich that is supposed to handle direclty connected Aps while it does not provide a smooth way to do so.
Use a switch and everything supposed to be fine.

EA3500 dropping internet connection every 2 minutes

Hello! I've recently purchased the EA3500 dual band wireless-N router to replace my old and somewhat tired WRT54GS. The old router worked, I just decided to upgrade to wireless-N since all of my devices are now capable.
My ISP is Comcast and I use a Motorola SB 6120 cable modem.
After an extremely easy setup of the new router last week, I experienced one full day of glorious speedier network and internet traffic. However, roughly 24 hours after installation I started experiencing intermittetent internet connectivity issues. As in - the cable modem is accessible for 2 minutes and then can't be found for 2 minutes, repeat forever.
After multiple different troubleshooting steps, including rebooting both the modem and the router together, separately, and releasing and renewing the router's IP Address through the router's admin page, I finally ended up resetting the router back to factory defaults and letting Windows 7 guide me through the re-installation rather than using the provided "easy setup" CD from Cisco.
This seemed to have helped, but 2 days later, my "every 2 minutes" issue returned.
Something important to note here is that all of my devices - both wired and wireless - are able to communicate with each other without issue. For example - while I have no access to the cable modem, I am able to stream music from a wired desktop through a wireless laptop to a wireless receiver connected to my TV. I am also able to access the router's admin tools during my connectivity issues.
Has anyone here got some ideas for additional troubleshooting steps I can take?

There are many reasons why you experience poor signal or connection. Your slow throughput wireless connection has a relation to the kind of setup that you have in your home or office. Is the connection dropping on all wireless-N computers or just one?
Try to do the following steps:
A] With the help of Cisco Connect Software (if at all you have installed the router with the help of this software)
1] Open the software and go to the option which says "Router Settings"
2] Then click on the option which says "Advanced Settings" which will take you to the router's configuration page.
3] Lower the MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) from 1500 to 1492 or less (usually found on your routers main/ basic setup page)
B] If you haven't installed Cisco Connect then you can log on to the router's user interface using it's default IP address in the browser which is 192.168.1.1 and type in 'admin' as the password leaving the username field blank. This will take you to the router's web interface and then follow steps as mentioned above to make the changes.

Restarting the modem en than the router
Resetting the router
resetting the router to factory defaults settings
connecting a computer directly to the modem works fine. The problem is the router.
Dose anybody have a solution
PLEASE HELP
After upgrading the firmware, did you reset and reconfigure the router? Possible reasons for encountering this kind of problem are firmware issue or ISP having intermittent connection. You mentioned that you already check the connection behind the modem and its working fine. If the firmware is already updated, reset and reconfigure were done. Then I suggest for you to call Cisco technical support for this, might be the router is defective. Check if they can still replace your router. Just let them know that troubleshooting steps were already exhausted.
