Disconnect every 5 secs with router: WRT54G2

Hello,
Last Saturday we purchased a new router. The linksys WRT54G2. The problem is that we have some serious issues.
First we connected the router with the CD on our (wired) pc. And it worked for about 30 mins. Then we started to have these disconnects. We had 5 secs of internet and then 5 secs without. Then we had 5 secs of internet etc. (NOTE: everytime we had a disconnect like this the Easylink advisor showed that there was no connection between the router and the modem)
So we connected the pc with our modem and we googled it. We found a guide that told us how to connect with our specific provider(UPC - Chello). It told us not to use the cd, so we set the router to default settings. We had to connect the pc and router and log in on 192.168.1.1 to clone the MAC adress and set security to WEP. And it worked yesterday evening perfectly. But when I wanted to use the internet today we had those disconnects again. I just did a soft reset(pulled the electricity out and back in) and it works now, but I don't doubt that it was go back in disconnect phase again. >_>
Has anyone had it before or does anyone know a solution for our problem? Thanks in advance.
Gr. Thijs Kievit
P.S.: UPC - Chello is a dutch internet provider : /
PPS: When these disconnects occur my mIRC doesnt log off
[EDIT]: it's already starting to disconnect >.<

I think you need to download the latest firmware of your router.Go to website linksysbycisco.com/downloads......... insert model no of your router in serach tab......select proper version of your router........download the firmware file......save that file on desktop.
Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful" After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
Now reset your 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...
Once you Re-configure your router, i think you will not face that problem again.
Note : Uninstall the Easylink Advisor your computer.

WRT54G disconnects every 15 sec

My WRT54G disconnects me from the network every 15-16 seconds or so. It lasts maybe a a second or so, but it's enough of a lag to put an end to any downloads or some streaming media.
I am connected to the router wirelessly
The router is connected to my cable modem.
I think the problem is with the automatic DHCP setting which refreshes the IP address again and again.
Any ideas?
Message Edited by Newcastle on 10-02-200611:57 PM

Hi, This will not be a DHCP issue since the DHCP refreshes the IP once every 24 hours.
What you need to do here is tweak the wireless settings a bit to get better connectivity.
access the router using http://192.168.1.1 "admin" is the password.
Go to the wireless section and change the SSID to any name you prefer,select channel 11 and save settings.Once back, click on "advanced wireless settings".Change the beacon interval to 50 and reduce the RTS and fragmentation threshold by 40 each.save settings and restart the wireless PC.
NOTE :- the above changes should be made using the wired PC.

I can not connect to wifi with router WRT54G2 v1 with Windows 7

Hi everyone: I have a Linksys WRT54G2 V1 and since I bought my new notebook with Windows 7 I can not access the wifi.
I have another notebooks with Windows Vista and a PC with Windows XP that connect perfectly, but with Windows 7 gives me error when loading the password.
I Update the firmware to version 1.0.04 (this the latest version I found on the cisco site), but still don't work.
I Try chatting with Cisco support and was told he was no longer under warranty ....
Can you tell me how to solve this problem ???
Thank you for your help !!!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Sure, disable security on the router completely for now. Now try to connect with no security. Once done and verified go back and add security back on of WPA2-AES with a new password and try again.

My MBA w/SSD makes click-click sounds every 6 secs ?

I've read the post that describes ticking sounds that people are reporting on presumably MBAs w/HDD. That post seems to imply the ticking sounds come from the HDD. After reading that post and prior to receiving my MBA w/SSD today I thought I would not be plagued by the ticking sounds.
However, I find that my MBA w/SSD is now making click-click sounds every 6 secs with about 1 sec between the click-click all the time.
Do others w/SSD hear these click-click sounds every 6 secs or so ?
I've disconnected the Mag Safe and it makes no difference. I've disconnected my USB-Ethernet adapter ad it makes no difference.
The MBA is not hot either.
I will say though that I don't recall hearing these sounds when I first booted my MBA today. It seems to have started some 6 hours after having used the MBA for the first time.
I'm starting to find these click-click sounds annoying as apart from them the MBA is completely quiet and it's now become like hearing the tic-tok sound of a clock when trying to get to sleep.

Brian:
I'm in agreement with you on this. I downloaded smcFanControl App and it shows fan rpm at "000".
Using TermperatureMonitor I find the Cores 1 & 2 are running at around 200ºF with RPM is 000.
Not looking good at all. Time to Call AppleCare for sure.
It does seem like my MBA w/SSD has a faulty fan.
If MBA were to overheat is it designed to shutdown to protect itself ?
Well I think I've got an answer to that question as CPU 2 has been disabled per Activity Monitor. It's just plain shutdown and only one processor is running now. Core 1 temp has dropped to 141ºF now.
Stopped the two CPU burner Apps and now see that CPU 2 has come back online. At least the MBA is designed to protect itself from a meltdown even with the fan not running. Good design IMO.
The baby is going back to the shop for sure. Bummer.
I guess the click-click sound every 6 secs should serve as a warning to others.
Thanks.

Why does my router disconnect every time I sleep the computer? Why did this only start to happen recently?

Why does my router disconnect every time I sleep the computer? Why did this only start to happen recently?

Actually it does with Ethernet too: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2412?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
What happens when the Mac goes to sleep (not just into idle mode or display sleep)?
On all Macs:
The microprocessor goes into a low-power mode
Video output is turned off, and a connected display may turn off or enter its own idle state
Apple-supplied hard disks spin down; third-party hard disks may spin down
On portable Macs:
The Ethernet port turns off, if applicable (see note below)
Expansion card slots turn off
The built-in modem, if present, turns off (see note below)
An AirPort card, if present, turns off (see note below)
The USB ports only responds to the power key on an external keyboard (see below)
The optical media drive, if present, spins down
Audio input and output turns off
Keyboard illumination, if a feature of your portable computer, turns off
But see the note about selecting, "Wake For Network Access" in Energy Saver preferences.
Note: Portable computers have no network connectivity when in sleep mode, but can wake if the Energy Saver option "Wake for network access" is enabled. If you wish to use file sharing or don't want to interrupt your Internet connection, you should not manually put the computer to sleep, and you should drag the "Computer sleep" slider to Never.

I have bought a new airport express and using it with my macbook (iTunes 10.2.2). I have joined an existing wireless network for internet in my home and with that i am trying to play the music via itunes but there is audio dropouts every 60 secs or so. I am using a set of speakers from kenwood connected to the airport express. The operating system on my macbook is mac os X 10.5.8. i am sure it is not a problem of streaming music online because i have even tried playing music which are stored in my macbook.
Is there any problem with the setting in itunes or quicktime ? Kindly reply...... I am waiting for your valuable suggestion.
Thank you a lot in advance.

I am shocked to have found this same AX audio dropout problem starting TODAY, every few seconds the audio just drops for a couple seconds and then resumes: Latest software versions of everything. No iPad, iPhone or Touch. Internet hardwired to D-Link DES1105 (1000baseT Switch) hardwired to new 80211N AX, AX optical to stereo, AX Wi-Fi internet to basic 1st-gen MacBook operating at 80211G, and an older 'G' AX extender at the far end of the house, away from all this. The MacBook streaming iTunes is usually 12 feet from AX. I've used this setup for years of trouble-free AirTunes / Airplay until today. Today I also found 2 very reliable fixes and 1 way to force a dropout, but first, I read some posts and tried ALL following settings one-at-a-time and restored them ALL because NONE of them helped: Turned off IPV6. Streamed to multiple speakers 'Computer' and 'AX' (restored to just AX). Turned off 'Ask to Join new (WiFi) Networks'. Turned off Bluetooth (can't live without Magic Trackpad, so glad that wasn't it). Here's my discoveries: Lo and behold, each time I click the Airport icon in the Menu (you know it shows you've got 4 bars from AX) when the status switches to 'Looking for Networks' for a second it CAUSES the AX audio to drop out for a couple seconds (it never did that before today.) iTunes still playing, streaming, AX laser still lit, but the 'PCM' light on stereo and the sound GOES OUT EVERY time I click the Airport icon in the menubar, just like the regular, annoying dropouts. So, to reduce traffic I quit Safari (3 tabs, no streaming, just Gmail, Google, and Netflix browsing). Lo and behold, the dropouts stopped altogether. No other Web apps going (not iTunes Store, Genius, Ping, nothing), so I launched Chrome to the same 3 tabs and the dropouts HAVE NOT RETURNED. That's right, not only did simply QUITTING SAFARI cure it, and Chrome doesn't contribute to it, but I can demonstrate it just by forcing my Airport to re-scan. Works for me, written using Chrome. The other reliable fix is to hardwire MacBook to the Switch. This is obviously not ideal, but Airplay audio doesn't drop out over Ethernet. Also, in all my tests, it made no difference whether iTunes did the streaming, or Airfoil did.

Hi,
I purchased Huawei Dongle and trying to connect with my new MacBook Pro (OS- Mountain Lion) USB port 3.0 but unfortunately it does not support.
When I plugged in my macbook the power is flowing in dongle due green light blinking twice in every 3 sec but no connection found or diver shown.
Please let me know how I have to use it. I got some suggestion for USB hub 2.0 but It does not make any sense and driver installation.
So please suggest proper direction to use it and provide link to install any driver.
Thanks
Tauheed Ahmad

Yes Clinton I did same, but they were (Huawei customer support) surprised about this problem, They behave like they have no idea about USB 2.0 and 3.0 knowledge. They handsUp that reason I posted my problem in this forum.
So is there any better solution to use any mediator between these USB version handling, Please let me know.
Thanks
Tauheed

All iOS devices disconnecting randomly from D-Link router

Hi,
All my Apple devices disconnect every 10 to 15 minutes from my D-Link DIR-615 router. My Apple TV, 2 iPhones and my iPad always lose the connection. Can't stream anything on my Apple TV, I have to reset the router every 10 minutes. This happens only on Apple/iOS devices. My 3 PCs and my Samsung Galayx device don't have these problems, never disconnect and can stream for hours with no problems.
All my Apple devices are up to date. My router has the latest firmware. I have tried to change the channel and channel width to different settings with no luck.
Any idea on how to solve the problem? Changing my router to an Apple AirPort is not an option. The fact that only Apple devices are concerned is certainly not an accident.
Thanks in advance!

Restore the router to default settings and reconfigure.

Airport keep disconnecting every few minutes

Hi,
I don't know why, but my airport keeps disconnecting every few minutes, although it reconnects after that.
I'm sure there's no problem with my router since other PCs in my home are fine.
It's totally fine when I use my windows in the macbook (via bootcamp).
Anyone has the same problem or anyone knows the solution?
Thanks.

I've had this issue for about a week and it has made my Macbook nearly impossible to use for anything other than local disk work.
Last night I tried running the standalone upgrade and it worked beautifully, however, upon booting up this AM I'm back to square one, constantly dropping the connection, ran the standalone update again and back in business with no drops.
While this is appears to be my temp workaround I don't want to be doing this on a daily basis.
HELLO APPLE what is the deal ?

EA 2700 disconnecting every once in awhile. (30/60minutes)

Heya,
I'm having issues with a newly bought EA 2700 router, I'm getting disconnected every 30-60 minutes. (It's a brief disconnect for about 10seconds, perhaps a huge packet loss or something?)
I've tried connecting directly to the modem and that seemed to have fixed the problem, so I think that it is a router issue...?
Perhaps somebody here knows how to fix this. Would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: I'm connected with a wire. Also, my download/upload/ping is 35mbps download, 35ish mbps upload, and 8ms. (I have a 35mbps connection so that's fine) But when I connect my PC to the modem directly, my MS becomes 5, and my upload jumps to 77mbps. The download stays the same... I thought that was quite strange. ;o

Hmm alright. I've already reset it multiple times, also reverted it to factory settings twice. But I keep disconnecting every hour orso. The firmware is up to date as well. My NIC is running at 1.0 gbps, I'm not sure where I can see what the router is at however. But I assume 1gbps as well? I've tried disabling UPnP, disabling IPv6 at the network adapter. I also tried to set the router to Bridge Mode, that made my upload go up to 77mbps again and my Ping down to 5, but I disconnected every few minutes for a while, then the day after (I went to bad cause it was driving me insane) it seemed to work for a while, but then I started getting disconnected for brief moment again. So I put it back to automatic DHCP config.
Edit: I also tried to empty the %temp% folder, that seemed to help, but not for long. (Perhaps not at all.)
Edit2: I also replaced my network cable twice, but seeing as the issues went away when I plugged directly into the modem I figured that that couldn't be the issue either...
Edit3: I keep remembering things that I tried to do in order to fix this, I also reinstalled my network drivers. ;-)

Time Capsule disconnects every few days

Hi, my Time Capsule disconnects every week to ten days, as indicated by a flashing yellow light. To reconnect it, I have to unplug and disconnect it from the ethernet cable. It's then able to reconnect until the next failure. This seems to be a different problem than previously described in this forum, as it is not able to reconnect on its own.
I'm using an iMac running on OS 10.6.8.
Capacity is 999.9 GB of which 192 GB is used on disc.
The Time Capsule is a 1TB Sim Dualband Time Capsule bought on May 21, 2011. It's past the end of the one year warranty but has been doing this pretty much from the start.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,

How do I access the logs?
logs are in advanced area of v5 utility. there is no access to logs in the v6 utility.. I guess Apple thought that looking at logs was beyond the average users ability so no longer needed in new slick interfaces.
Use v5 utility.. if you run Lion download it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
If you are on Mountain Lion.. then you will need to trick it to install. Download and install and run unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Download the 5.6 utility from reference above.. open the dmg file to see the pkg file.. AirPortUtility56.pkg.. drag that file over unpkg.. it will create a new directory on your desktop. of the same name.. drill down, Applications, Utilities. There is the real utility.. drag it to your main Applications Utilities directory. Ignore completely the toyland v6 and run only 5.6.
"is the TC router or bridged or worse possible, join wireless network." - Are you saying joining a wireless network may fix it or that being in one may be the cause?
Thanks.
You have not provided any indication of the network layout. If you want to pursue this I need full info..
Is the TC the main router or in bridge mode?
What broadband do you have? What modem? Is it a router?
Have you tested with the TC out of operation.. with another router?
Give complete details... that way we can narrow down the issue and work out if the TC is in best possible mode.
The worst mode as I indicated above is join wireless due to wireless being flakey at any time and TC not the most stable. This will be slow, although ironically the other problems might stop.. who knows unless you try it.
What OS is your computer running? If you are on Mountain Lion, well join the club.. this is a major issue and I doubt there is a solution.
But you can start by setting SMB names.. short, no spaces pure alphanumeric for everything.
TC name ... TC
Wireless names.. different for both bands. TC24ghz TC5ghz
Hard disk share name.. Data
If the TC is the main router set very short lease time for dhcp.. 20min. and see if that improves anything.

My iPad disconnects everyone else on the router when in use. It actually kicks off everyone else that is using the same router connection periodically.

Yes. Not that my iPad gets disconnected, it actually might be causing everyone else to disconnect from the router, including itself.
Whenever I connect my router to this wifi at work or home at periodic intervals it actually causes everyone, including wifi and 'hard-line' users to receive no connection to the local network and internet.
When the iPad stops connecting to the wifi, the problem stops for the duration it stays off, Tested it at durations of no iPad connection of 4 hours with no problems. And when connected it causes everyone on the network to drop (for all users) every 5-15 minutes.
Why does ithis happen and how do I make it stop?

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

ICHAT disconnects every five minutes...

My iChat disconnects every 5-10 minutes saying the connection was lost -- even though the browser still works! This only happens at my home with my wireless router.
Everywhere else I've used iChat (on other connections) it stays connected..
HELP!

Hi,
Welcome to the  Discussions
A Browser and even the Mail app if you use it only use the internet now and then.
For Mail this is when mail is collected or sent.
For a Web Browser it is each time you change page (Some pages automatically refresh to keep the adverts up to date)
You may only notice a slight pause in a browser if it is waiting for the Internet to come back.
iChat is a truly "Always ON" app
With any Buddy list that logs in to AIM it will instantly indicate any change in status of a Buddy (On-line, Off line, Status message Changes).
As a result any issue with the Internet connection no matter how short will normally get the buddy list to fold (say Disconnected).
If this Home router is Wifi try changing the channel it uses so not to get interference from other nearby devices.

Yes, attached to the Westell 6300 is a D-Link wireless router WBR 1310. I don't have a house phone. I have a separate telephone line for the fax machine, and it has a DSL filter attached to it. I don't know what a micro-filter is.
