Connectivity issues with WRT160N

We have the WRT160N (Im guessing its the first version since there is no number beside it) for a little while now, and untill a few days ago, it worked just fine!
The router started to drop the internet connection all the time and this required me to do a power cycle to get it back working, I done another powercylce and when it came back on the network was working but the internet was.
We got 1 pc near the Modem, so we connected that pc to the modem and he got internet immediatly!
Then we plugged the modem to the router again, and the beautiful blue light on the " internet logo" on the router went on and everything looked fine again.
Unfortunatly it wasn't. The internet was still not back! only local network available on all pc's!
So in short:
After the reset file sharing between the computers and all the other network function work great. The problem is that it seems like the router for some reason blocks off the interent, and doesn't allow the computers to access the internet
I have tried reconfiguring the router and I have it currenty running on firmware 1.02.2
Thanks for everyone's help!

Connection issues with Safari 3

I'm having some connection issues with Safari 3.
When I connect wirelessly, Safari won't load any web pages. I go and use Firefox and everything is just peachy.
I've reset Safari, emptied the cache and whatnot. I went in and checked the permissions, everything checks out.
When I connect with Ethernet, there's nothing wrong, which is my dilemma.
Help would be greatly appreciated.

There are a number of posts in the Leopard forum from people with direct experience with upgrading from Panther to Leopard. Here is a relevant thread from there that should reassure you.:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1418714
Your system should be fine for Leopard, but you will probably need a current version of Photoshop if you don't already have it. See this download:
http://www.adobe.com/support/products/pdfs/leopardsupport.pdf
Also, Leopard doesn't run Classic (OS 9) apps.
One caveat - first make a bootable backup "clone" of your present system onto an external firewire drive so you can recover if anything goes wrong. You can use the "Restore" tab of Disk Utility to make such a clone, and there are also Panther-compatible versions of Carbon Copy Cloner (v 2.3) and SuperDuper (v 2.1.4), both excellent for this.
It's even possible to a create second Panther clone on a different external volume to create a "dual-boot" system, using that volume to continue to run old applications that you can't run with Leopard.

Connection issues with EA4500

I had bad connection issues with my mobile device, so i pressed reset on my EA4500 router, and now when i connect to my network, it gives my limited connection even though i have 5 bars of signal. Not sure what to do now...

Resetting the router will erase all the settings you configured on the router since the initial setup. You manually configure the router's wireless settings so your wireless devices can have internet access again.

Make sure to use a computer that is hardwired via Ethernet cable to the router.

CR2008 connectivity issue with BOE Universes(sap and non sap universes)

Hi Experts !!
Recently we tried to build/connect to a Universe in Crystal Reports2008 via 'Make a new connection tab'.
The universes are of SAP BW or non SAP Lying in BOE Servers and we are trying to build reports on them by conncting/utilizing the universes as a database for Crystal Reporting.
Our issue is most of the time we are not able to connect to the Universes and the connectivity blows out by some 'communication Error' thing initially.
While at some other points in time, the connectivity takes us to the Universe and we are able to select few characteristics and key figures from the Universe but the moment we go futher and try to run by pressing 'OK' button it blows out and say' LOGON FAILED'.
Apparantly, it is an connectivity issue with BOE server and from the different blogs it looks like it is a known issue for long.
The proposed issue resolution were like either CR2008 should be SP2 with BOE SP3 or there should be some additional .dll files defined in the paths in case of MSSQL database. None of this applies to us as we are on CR2008 with SP3 and going back to SP2 is probably not a viable option for us, and we are using Oracle as underlying database in this specific case.( i would like to tell you here that we are able to connect to Oracle Database directly though).
We have raised a message with SAP and was just wondering if we do have some solution/workaround already available to this known issue in place please?
Thanks&Regards.

Hi Amit,
Moved to Universe Forum.
If you have a case logged then no point posting here also, this is a public site and not a case management tool.
Once you do get the solution from your case please post it here also to help others if they have the same problem.

I have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on my MacBook. Constantly dropping internet connection or message "error connecting to the network" comes up. No wireless connectivity issues with windows 7 laptop or iphone.

I have a MacBook with Snow Leopard 10.6.8. The last few weeks it has been constantly dropping internet connection, and one of these messages appear on the page: "Safari cannot open this page because the server where this page is located isn't responding" or "Safari cannot open this page because you are not connected to the internet" comes up. I will check Wifi and I am connected. No wifi connectivity issues with iphone or windows 7 laptop, this doesn't happen with either of those devices. I have unplugged and reset router, cleared cache, still happening. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

SFTP connection issue with Dreamweaver 2014

I have a very weird SFTP connection issue with Dreamweaver CC (2014). I am on a Mac running 10.9.4 and have no problem connecting to my server through SFTP with Dreamweaver CS 6. However, using the exact same settings on CC (2014), I get the following error: "An FTP error occurred - cannot make connection to host. Your login or password is incorrect. Please check your connection information".
I am truly at a loss here. Command line connection works without problems.
Any thoughts?

Hi there,
Try after rebooting your system or in a different user account on MAC.
Is there any limit with number of login sessions with your SFTP?
Could you check with Filezila or similar FTP client and connect to your site, see if you get any error there?
Thanks.

Anyone else having repeated wifi connectivity issues with the OSX version 10.8.5?

I just updated the software on my iMac to OS X version 10.8.5. Now I am having repeated connectivity issues with the wifi in my house. This is the only device that is having these issues. My phone, ipad and tv are not having any problems at all.
It happened immediately following the update. I was sending emails and browsing before the update without a problem.
from apple:

I had a message like that last week - only it asked what browser I would be using - I just quit safari - purges caches etc - and at that time noticed I was getting RSS feeds through PUBSUB - tracking them down to the top sites view I never use - I deleted all of the top sites (most of which I don't go into so it must have been a preset) that included MSN and Google - I don't use google so that was pointless. (deleting a top site means you are blocking it from that page) Have not had the message since so it must have had something to do with top sites activity.
Just a note: Did see somewhere probably BBC tech - that Google was going to stop supporting older web browsers.

Connectivity Issue with FIOS

Hey all,
Has anyone in the Tampa, FL 33629 area had connectivity issues with their FIOS services? My current setup is a Motorola modem that is plugged into a D-Link Router that was provided by VZ. At the D-Link located outside of the house the connectivity light is flashing red and according to the legend it indicates that it has passed the test but is having communication issues. This has been occurring over the past few weeks. The first call to customer service, after diagnostics where run and the outside unit was unplugged and battery were removed as well as all modems and routers being reset, the service rep scheduled a tech to come out. The next morning it seemed like everything was back to normal. Since then we have had intermittent service and I am currently without phone and Internet access (bundled the phone, TV, and Internet) for a couple of days due to their internal service report and dispatching system being unavailable. Just curious if anyone else has encounter this issue.
Thanks,
JB

BPC 4.2 connectivity issues with server

Hello All, I have a user that is experiencing connectivity issues with our server. This appears to be at a client level and I would like to know how to correct it. We are currently using BPC 4.2 (service pack 2).
The problem occurred when they had IE8 uninstalled and installed IE6 today. This morning he had no issues connecting to BPC w/ IE8, but lost that connection when IE6 was installed. When working through the connection wizard, the following errors appear.
Here are the pop-up error messages they are receiving:
"The server name, or IP address (srvbpmarl01) is unreachable now. Please check the following:
1. LAN connection or Internet connection is working properly.
2. Server name or IP address is invalid
Detailed Error Message: Internet connection is not available"
"The system cannot download information from server: SRVBPMARL01.
There may be a network or security issue.
Error message: Your LAN connection or Internet connection is not working properly.
Detailed error message: Internet connection is not available."
I can't help but feel this issue is a result of the IE 8/6 complications, but I do not know which actions to take next.
Thanks for any help you could provide!

I don't think the problem is related to IE.
It seems to be more a problem of configuration of IE.
I suggest to chec the follow:
1. Please make sure you are not using any proxy into connection of IE. Ot if you neede then make sure you will add your server into exceptions of proxy.
2. Try to connect with IE to server. use: http://nameofserver/osoft and also http://nameofserver.
If you received errors in both cases then it seems it is a problem with installaion of IE.
If you are able to connect and to display the default page for osoft then it must be a configuration problem.
I suppose MSDTC or Pivot table services is not correct.Try to use slow connection when you connect to server not High connection.

Random Connectivity Issues with Time Capsule

I am having random connectivity issues with my time capsule with my intel based iMac. I don't have any issues with my MacAir, iPads or iPhones... just the iMac. It shows a "good" connection but sometimes... TC won't be able to connect to run a backup or I can't get to the internet. It doesn't appear to be an internet problem as I can get to the internet on other devices. It appears to be a connection issue between the iMAC and the TC. Thoughts or suggestions?

Do a full reset of the iMac.. apparently after the latest Mountain Lion update it can cause issues. I have not needed to try this as I have not seen it myself but I track the treads very closely and this popped up.

Cellular connectivity issue with iPad 4th gen

Hi folks,
I'm currently running iOS 7 beta 2 since it was made available for tablets on Monday. I am having a major cellular connectivity issue with Rogers. My iPhone 5 is also running iOS 7 beta 2 and has no issue with cellular connectivity (also on Rogers's network).
On my iPad, I'm having full or almost full reception but data doesn't work at all. Tried reboot and hard reboot, resets of wireless settings and nothing fixed my issue.
Is it related to iOS 7 beta 2? Is anyone having a similar issue?
Btw, model is iPad3,5.
Thanks!
Chris

Many issues with WRT160N v3 (Windows 7 related?)

Ok so here's the story.
Several months ago I purchased a WRT160N v2. I was connecting four devices. 1 XP machine, 1 Vista machine, 1 PS3, and 1 Xbox 360.
The XP machine is using Wireless-N PCI Adapter model no. WMP300N. The Vista machine is using a Wireless-N USB Network Adapter with Dual-Band, model no. WUSB600N
The process was fairly straight forward and I was successful in getting everything set up correctly. It worked great for the most part barring any unexpected wireless crashes.
A few weeks ago I accidentally bricked the router when trying to upgrade the firmware. It was my mistake and I should have been thinking but it happened. I was able to get a replacement from Linksys and I received the WRT160N v3
Sadly this router hasn't provided me with the same easy of installation.
Right now the situation is a little different than before. I am running a Windows 7 machine right now. It's up to date and working great. I haven't noticed any issues with the OS other than some random driver issues here and there.
I first attempted to just plug the router into my modem to see if my Windows 7 machine would automatically see it and connect. To my surprise it actually did. It connected and I was able to get online.
But here's the problem, my speed when connected was horrible. It would range anywhere from 75-1Mbps. For comparison, when on Windows XP I would get a locked 130Mbps. In addition to that, the LAN connection will not work. At all. It see's the connect, it shows it's connected and online. Then when I attempt to get online it fails and knocks me back to local access only.
I then attempted to set up the connection using the included disc for v3. This was problematic due to compatibility issues I assume. It didn't fair any better.
The final thing I did was plug my computer directly to the router without connection to the internet and disconnected from the Wireless and attempted to upgrade the firmware. THIS PROCESS WAS SUCCESSFUL. It did not fail and brick the router. I did it correctly this time. To repeat, this did not brick the router.
Ok, so I guessed it was due to Windows 7? I called Linksys up and they said they were unable to support the unreleased beta OS. I'm fine with that.
Next I decided to see if I could get my Vista machine online. With this I decided to run through the setup process that comes with router. I followed the steps to the T. Doing exactly what they told me to do. When it finished it showed it did have connection to the Internet. When the Linksys Easy Link Advisor started up and attempted to get me on wireless, it failed. It shows it lost connection and was unable to regain connection. Attempting to statically assign myself an IP address fails as well.
Using the LANA port with this router on the Vista machine works perfectly.
Right now I'm falling back to a very very old router. It's a Linksys Network Everywhere NR041 wired router. This router works rock solid with my Vista, Windows 7, PS3, and 360 all plugged in and only has some minor overheating issues (common with this model).
My questions:
Does the WRT160N v3 have issues with Windows 7?
Why exactly am I have so many issues with it at all?
Are there issues with my wireless card and Windows 7?
Would the compatibility issues cause the LAN connections to fail between the router and my Windows 7 machine?
Is there a better router solution for me?
I would prefer to not have to revert back to Windows XP as I am enjoying Windows 7.
I would appreciate any help I can get as I'm fairly unhappy with these two products so far.
Thank you.

There is a compatibilty issue with the Wireless Adapter and Windows 7 as it seems there are no specific Windows 7 Drivers to install the adapter...So basically that could be the reason why Windows 7 keeps loosing the Wireless Connection...
Also remember to reset the router to factory defaults after any firmware upgrade, then setup the router again from scratch. If you have not done this since your last firmware upgrade, please do this now and see if it corrects your problem. If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.
To reset the 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...
Don't use the CD to re-configure the router, instead do a manual setup...
If your Internet Service Providor is Cable follow this link
If your Internet Service Providor is DSL follow this link
Also adjust the Wireless Settings on your Router -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...
Leave username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab
- Here select manual configuration...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
- Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
- Set the Radio Band to Standard-20MHz and change the Standard channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
For Wireless Security : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WPA, For Encryption, select AES...For Passphrase input your desired WPA Key. For example , MySecretKey , This will serve as your network key whenever you connect to your wireless network. Do NOT give this key to anyone and remember the key.
NOTE : Passphrase should be more that 8 characters...
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...
