Cisco 7605 router dumps wireless signal

LAN neophyte (me) just switched to Linksys wireless-G router. After brief periods of excellent performance (13 minutes to 4 hours), router shuts down wireless signal. One episode also included no ethernet signal either; next day worked fine for an hour, then dropped wireless signal. Cisco setup menus are very complex... Where should I start? Reset to factory defaults?

Check the Linksys web site to make sure you have the latest firmware installed.

Can Westell 327W DSL modem/router receive wireless signal?

I have a spare Westell 327W wired/wireless DSL modem/router. I need a wireless access point for a G4 Power Mac away from an Apple Extreme. I knew how to make the Westell 327W in a bridge mode. Is there a way to make 327W communicate wirelessly with a FIOs modem/router?
Thank you very much.
Robert

Hmmm, perhaps something like this with a USB extension cord would be a solution, they have better Range even without an extension than Airport cards ime...

Weak Wireless Signal After Power Outage - Anyone else??

We had a storm Sunday 7/25 and lost power, now my Verizon Fios router's wireless signal is extremely weak and I can't connect to it unless I'm in the same room with the router. Has anyone else experienced this problem? I've had no luck with troubleshooting tools and calling Verizon (why are they so confused and lost all the time). The wireless adapter works fine, but the signal is so weak it can't be connected to. HELP!!

I had EXACTLY the same problem, and I am in Maryland (same storm, I bet). I just cured the slowness. Here's how.
The instructions on the Verizon website for rebooting your router do not include "Unscrew the coaxial cable." You have to do that, as well as turn off the power. The Verizon guy I talked to tonight said you get a "better reset." I kept my router powered off and unscrewed for a while--a good couple of minutes at the minimum. Then, when I screwed the coaxial cable back in and powered back up, I had full-strength connectivity.
Good luck, fellow Marylander.

I acquired an airport express to extend my cable modems wireless signal, BUT having difficulty getting set up.

Having trouble getting set up. I'm trying to set up airport express to extend my existing wireless network, so i can get a better signal for my iPad at the other end of the house. I can get a green light on the airport device , but signal is still weak. How do I tell if apple express has been properly set up. Does the apple express need to be connect via ethernet to my cable modem (either for set up or to operate properly)?

I'm trying to set up airport express to extend my existing wireless network
If you are trying to "extend" using wireless only, Apple's "extend a wireless network" feature is a proprietary design that is designed to only work with other Apple routers.
It would be extremely unlikely that the Express could be configured to "extend" a wireless signal from a 3rd party modem/router or gateway.
More likely, the Express has been set up to "join" the wireless network. It does not provide any additional wireless signal in this type of configuration, which is designed for use with AirPlay.
I can get a green light on the airport device , but signal is still weak. How do I tell if apple express has been properly set up.
If you have a Mac laptop handly, you can perform a quick check to see if the Express is actually "extending" the signal.
Locate the laptop near your main router. Hold down the option key on the Mac and click on the fan shaped AirPort icon at the top of the screen. Look for the BSSID and jot down the least few numbers for identification. The BSSID is actually the AirPort ID of the device to which your Mac is connected at that time.
Now move the laptop close to the AirPort Express and perform the same check, If you see the same BSSID, this confirms that the laptop is still connecting to your main router's wireless signal...and the AirPort Express is not "extending" the wireless signal.
If the Express is "extending", you will of course see a different BSSID when you perform the check.
Post back on your results, so we will know how best to proceed if you want to configure the Express to provide more wireless coverage. It will help if you can provide the make and model number of your "modem", which is likely a combination modem/router or gateway type of device.

E3000 poor wireless signal

I recently parted with my ancient Linksys BEFW11S4 router to get the E3000. I live in a 2 bedroom apartment, not very big. The old router's wireless signal didn't reach the living room about 20 feet away. I was under the impression the E3000's wireless signal strength was much greater. However I was disappointed to find out that my PS3 and Laptop are still not able to connect to the internet. My laptop will sometimes get connection, but only 1 bar or 3 at max. The PS3 does not pick up the signal at all. It is broadcasting mixed so my PS3 should pick up the 802.11 g and the laptop 802.11 n. However neither is performing as advertised. The E3000 is designed to support a 2 story house wireless but it can't even support my small apartment. Am I doing something wrong? Why is the signal strength so terrible?

I am having a very simalar issue with my E3000. I was running only G with my E3000 becuase of a compatibility issue with a WGA54G. I tossed the WGA54G and got a D-Link DAP1522 so that all my devices (PS3, Netbook, iPhone) would be N. I have a few questions.
What should my real world transfer speeds be? I am transfering from a NAS drive (not using the USB port, an Ethernet NAS) and getting 1.5MBps which isn't any faster than when I was on G. If I use 5ghz band the speeds are much worse. I tried every channel with both 2 & 5ghz and very little difference between channels although a few were worse than others.
I haven't realoaded firmware yet and I haven't changed the advanced settings so I will be doing those next.
I have seen a few time to set these settings:
"Change the Beacon Interval to 75,Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,Change the RTS Threshold to 2304"
For my information how are these setting supposed to help me?
Thanks.

EA6300 Wireless Signal Range

hi, after installed the EA6300 router, found that wireless signal range is not "excellent".
Just beside the router, the wireless signal of my Samsung S2 is full bar (4 bar), about 3 meter distance (no obstruction) dropped to 3 bar, about 10 meter distance (1 wall block in between) dropped to 1 to 2 bar. Same as my Vostro 3300 laptop.
I did updated to latest firmware, disabled the 5Ghz network, changed the 2.4Ghz to 20Mhz only channel width, changed to other channel too (my neighbour is using channel 1), the wireless signal range is still the same.
Did I miss any setup steps? Or is it factory fault? Before that I bought EA4500, faced the same problem, hence I exchanged to EA6300, but still the same problem.
Nornally the EA6300 router wireless signal range can reach how far?
Thanks.

Since you've already tried two different routers and experienced the same problem, this could have something to do with your network setup. Where is the device located? It is recommended to place the router in an elevated area so it can go around physical obstructions. You can get the most out of your new router by using the 5GHz network. I suggest you get a wireless AC adapter for your laptop to make use of this. As for the 2.4GHz network, use this tool: inSSIDer. Channels other than 1 may also be crowded. This should help you decide on what channel is best to use for your network.

How can I get my Cisco wireless router to wirelessly connect to my Verizon Fios Actiontec router?

I have Verizon Fios for internet, tv and phone. The Verizon Actiontec router is connected with a ethernet cable into my desktop and the internet is up and running. Now I bought a Cisco Linksys WRT54GL Wireless-G Broadband Router, and I wanted to connect it to another desktop two floors up. I set up the Cisco router according to the instructions, but I'm not able to connect to the internet. It shows that my computer was able to get a Local Network connection, but internet connection keeps failing.... I tried changing the IP address. But I'm confused about the whole thing. Is the Default gateway number suppose to be the same for both routers? Is it possible that the Actiontec router isnt giving off a strong enough wireless signal? I'm open for suggestions! Thanks

Mac or Windows machine?
Is the WRT connected directly to the upstairs computer? I don't think you can use the WRT that way?
Have you had a look here?:http://homecommunity.cisco.com/t5/Wireless-Routers/General-Linksys-Router-FAQs/td-p/4286
I THINK you would have to have a WETxx (Ethernet Adapter) instead?
If it connects to the Internet even breifly then I suppose that means your connected but it may be losing the signal and failng. You would porbably have ot get a WAP(Access Point) and use it as a repeater.
I'm a bit rusty on the names so I hope i got them right, hope it helps.....

I just got my cable company to switch my wireless router to a wired one considering now I have the wireless airport device (the newest one) but now I can't get a wireless signal. The router works when directlyplugged in,the aiport wireless device is green

I just got my cable company to switch my wireless router to a wired one considering now I have the wireless airport device (the newest one) but now I can't get a wireless signal. The router works when directlyplugged in,the aiport wireless device is green. I've tried going through my new MacBook Pro settings and it the diagnostics check, it says network changes detected, I tell it that it "yes" does connect to a cable modem, it tells me to restart it, after I do it asks if there are any other devices hooked up ( firewall) and when I say no it tells me that it can't fix the problem.
Now I know that I probably have a new IP address because of the cable company switching the boxes but it was working fine with the other box, now there isn't a signal to be had on it!
Please anybody out there that can help!!!??

Any time you change networking hardware it is always a good idea to perform a complete power recycle with the new equipment. Check out the following AirPort User Tip. Please post back your results.

Powerbook G4 Can't "See" Wireless Signal from Ubee Modem/Router

I was given a G4 Powerbook while out of town and it found the wireless signal in an apartment complex and a major airport just fine. But upon returning home it can't "see" the signal from my (Time Warner, Road Runner Extreme) Ubee modem/router. My Mac Mini's Airport sees the Ubee wireless signal fine, but the older Powerbook G4 can't. (The Airport signal in the menu bar has "bars" but they are grayed out.
Can an older G4 connect with the newer Ubee modem/router? Are there security settings that will allow this?
Tx,
WK

CRMDVM -- Thanks for the helpful info -- you are probably right on both counts:
The apartments where I picked up a signal is in an "old folks" apt. complex, meaning the router I was picking up was probably old -- compatible with the G4 lineage. And the Atlanta airport probably has a wireless system to allow the vast number of old and new computers that people carry to connect.
My Mac Mini connects via WPA2 Personal security code, and I set the G4 to the same security (in the Network preference pane) but still nothing. The Airport wireless icon in the menu bar is still grayed out -- it isn't the "blank" icon as when Airport is turned off. It has the wireless wave lines in the icon, but just grayed out.
Maybe the G4 is just too old to "see" the newer wireless signal from the new modem/router.
Thanks again for your help -- you definitely provided more than I knew. (btw, I'm just above you in Union County in Stallings).

Is there a PORTABLE wireless router that I could travel with to convert hotel LAN lines into wireless signals for my iPad?

I travel regularly to Asia and I have been trying to compile everything I need into my iPad. Unfortunately, most of my hotels do not have wireless in the rooms just an LAN line. Does anyone know of a router (as small as possible) that I can plug an LAN line into that will convert it to a wireless signal I can access with the iPad. What I don’t want is to have to plug the router into a computer and program it forevery different LAN line I encounter. Thoughts???

As the others have said, Airport Express is one option. The catch as Allan said is that the configuration utility doesn't run on the iPad. It is rumored that iOS5 may have the utlity, but that doesn't help you now. If you can wait, then the Airport Express would arguably be the best for the iPad.
If you can't wait, you could get the D-Link DAP-1350. You configure it through a webpage, similar to how you would other home routers.

I use the older DWL-G730AP 802.11g version and it's been very good to me for use by my Macbook Pro and iPad1.

Re: WRT350N ----- Very poor Wireless signal strength from my router

I have a WRT350N router. I had it for a year now. In the begining the Wireless Signal strenth was good.
I used to get 4-5 bars in my bed room which is about 10 meters from the router.
Now I have my laptop sitting 1 feet away from the router and I get only 1 bar.
I upgraded my firmware. I rebooted my router a few times still no luck.
Current Firmware Version: v1.04.4 build 003 Jul. 14, 2008
Can any one tell me whats the problem. More importantly can some one help me resolve this problem.
Thanks
Sunny

As you upgraded the router's firmware,I would suggest you to reset the router for 30 seconds and reconfigure it from the scratch, as it is advisable to reset the router after upgrading the router's firmware.
On the router's setup page,Under Wireless tab..Give unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID). Change the Radio Band to Standard-20MHz and change the Standard channel to 11-2.462GHz... Under the Advance Wireless tab,change the Beacon Interval to 75 and click on save settings.... Now,check.

I have a Linksys WRV200 wireless router and the wireless signal is not working properly so I cannot connect to the internet wirelessly. the wireless light has a fast green blinking light. how can I fix the router?

I have a Linksys WRV200 wireless router and the wireless signal is not working properly so I am unable to connect to the internet wirelessly. The wireless light is blinking green very quickly and I connect and disconnect from the network constantly. How do I get the router to work properly

Hello James,
The flashing WLAN light means activity (data getting transferred). Try disconnecting all your devices and check whether the light is still flashing or disconnect the router from internet and do the check.
Do you have your SSID as linksys or the default one? If your neighbor has the same SSID, then traffic could result from your neighbor's one. Try changing your SSID and password. Make your security WPA/WPA2.
Hope this helps,
Thanks

E1000 Router Wireless signal will disappear after some time

Hi,
I have set up the E1000 this week, i found that the wireless signal would disappear after some time if the wireless connection is not in use.
For example, on my iphone
1. I search for the wireless signal and successfully got the IP
2. after using for some time, i put the iphone aside
3. when i want to use the wireless again, the iphone is not yet connected to the wireless
4. i would then need to search for the wireless signal and connect again.
This causes problems because i am using some VPN connection at my laptop and it would disconnect it.
Is there any config that would keep the wireless signal ?
Thanks!

Try changing the wireless channel on the router.
Also try to change some advanced wireless settings on the router. Click on Wireless tab and go to Advanced wireless settings. Change the Beacon interval to 75, RTS threshold to 2307 and fragmentation threshold to 2306. Save the settings.
See if that helps you.

K1 Wireless Makes Siemens Gigaset SE587 Router in Range of the Wireless Signal Reboot Continuously

My K1 crashes my Siemens Gigaset SE587 Router as soon as I turn the wireless on, and the router keeps rebooting as long as the wireless on the K1 is turned on, even if it is connected to a different access point. It crashes the neighbors routers as well -- any SE587 within range of the K1's wireless signal.

from your post it's not clear so can you confirm that your box if conencted to the phone line has a filter?
you can try downloading inssider3 (istumbler if MAC) and then run it. This will show the broadcasting networks round about you and their channels including your own. If you then enter your router and change your wireless channel to a free or less congested channel.
check the driver for wireless card in laptop is up to date - check manufacturer's website not windows update
you can also try changing wireless in hub fromdefault b/g/n to just b/g unless all your wireless devices are 'n' rated

I have a net gear wireless router and a APE working great inside the house, but the wireless signal is weak in the backyard, can I get a net gear extender for the back and it will also send my music to the airport express?

I have a net gear wireless router and a APE working great inside the house, but the wireless signal is weak in the backyard, can I get a net gear extender for the back yard and it will boost our wo
Ireless signal and also send my music to the airport express? Or does the airport express work as a stand alone hub?

Trust me when I say this coming from 20 years of experience.
Get a powered external drive, format it 1 Partition Option: GUID and OS X Extended Journed as the format in Disk Utility.
Download and install Carbon Copy Cloner, clone internal drive to external drive.
Set a schedule to remind you to do it at least once a week, keep it near your charger.
When you plug your charger in, do plug the clone and power the machine up, set the display to sleep only,
CCC will do the rest.
If you want to boot from it, hold the option/alt and select it Startup Manager.
I've seen many TimeMachine and TimeCapsule nightmares and so far haven't seen a problem from anyone using a bootable clone.
It's simple, it's easy, it's more reliable and more powerful than what Apple does and it only takes plugging in a extra cable.
Make as many clones as you want, keep them time seperated, off site etc. etc.
Cables don't have network issues, clones can be verified in seconds merely by booting from them.
Clones protect your productivity, your up in seconds on a clone despite even the hard drive dying.
Software problem? No sweat, boot of the clone and reverse clone your problems away.
If you want to fuss and muss with half implemented TimeMachine and TimeCapsule network headaches then prepare to suffer.
I don't like to suffer, I bought a Mac not to suffer, but it appears you do with TimeMachine and TimeCapsule.
