DMA2100 & DMA220 Freeze when network cord (CAT5) plugged in and won't work at all

I happened to go into the firmware update on both of my extenders yesterday and downloaded the latest for both the DMA2100 & DMA2200.  Now today they are both freezing when booting/starting up.  I figured out that its the network connection - as soon as it tries to establish a network connection it freezes each unit.  On the TV is says "connecting to network" and then the entire unit is frozen up. 
Both are hard-wired.  If I take the LAN cable out the units will boot fine and I can go thru the menu's.  As soon as I plug the CAT5 back in they both freeze up.  I verified it also freezes on wireless - tried this on the 2200 and as soon I it tried to connect to my wireless network it also froze up.
What did Linksys do to my units with this firmware upgrade?????????  HELP!!
Solved!

jvigilia, given that, can you try restoring your machine before the MS update and check if your device still encounters the same issue?
This will greatly help isolate the problem.

  • Safari quits when using librooksbas.dylib plug-in and Rapport switched on.  Any way I can keep Rapport on?

    Safari quits when using librooksbas.dylib plug-in and with Rapport switched on.  Hence can only use Safari with Rapport switched off.  Anyone know how to keep Rapport on and use Safari?

    While the usual advice is to remove Rapport, there have been a number of recent reports where both that & genieo adware were involved.
    See Adware Removal Guide : Genieo
    or
    You installed the "Genieo" search-hijacking rootkit.
    to find out which files to check for.
    Otherwise, if you really want to keep it, perhaps uninstall it completely, including any Safari extension; then reinstall.

  • Safari still freezes when accessability voice over is on and blue tooth keyboard still doesnt work when accessability voice over is on, Help

    Hi Apple,
    iphone 5s latest updates , safari still freezes when accessability voice over is on and blue tooth keyboard still doesnt work when accessability voice over is on, Help

    Hi,
    If you are absolutely sure that neither the sound output of the Macbook nor the sound output of VoiceOver are muted then try to reset VoiceOver.
    1. Open VoiceOver Preferences.
    2. From the File menu choose "Reset All VoiceOver Preferences …".
    3. Click "Reset.
    4. Turn VoiceOver Off and On again. (hold command and press F5 twice).
    If you still don't hear anything then it could be that the main sound output of the Macbook got muted somehow. I find that I often hit the mute button on my Apple wireless keyboard without noticing. So just make sure that its not muted and also hit the "Volume Up" a few times. Its so terribly obvious I know but its also very easy to miss. Lots of people do that.

  • So my iphone 4 that is using ios5 keeps freezing when i want to dial, or receive call. i can use all my other apps but cant use the phone to call because the freezing problem. i know some people that are having the same problem too. what can i do?

    so my iphone 4 that is using ios5 keeps freezing when i want to dial, or receive call. i can use all my other apps but cant use the phone to call because the freezing problem. i know some people that are having the same problem too. what can i do?

    I got the same problem. The percentage of getting this problem is around 10% of all my dial/receive calls.
    The problem usually appears when I receive calls. The phone app will freeze, and I cannot dial or receive calls even I closed the phone app, however, most other apps work properly.
    Once this problem happens, I will not be able to turn off the phone by holding sleep button, the only way I can get rid of it is holding sleep and home button at the same time to reset the iphone.

  • I updated my iphone and when it came time for activation it won't work and keeps telling me to try again. At the top it says "No Service" and I have my SIM card in and a good WiFi connection and have connected it through iTunes but it says I have no SIM

    I updated my iphone and when it came time for activation it won't work and keeps telling me to try again. At the top it says "No Service" and I have my SIM card in and a good WiFi connection and have connected it through iTunes but it says I have no SIM card and need to disconnect and insert my SIM. I don't understand why this keeps happening and it's been going on for a wile now. I have tried over and over again to get this iPhone to work but nothig is happening. I've even gone on the website for support (apple.com/support) but cannot find anything that will help me with this situation. Can someone please help me find a solution to this problem? I have been without a phone and do not have money to buy another one and it is crucial for me to get it fixed. Thanks.

    What computer operating system is involved in the Premiere Elements 11 and 13 issues? Same computer or different ones? Are you installing from purchased download installation files or from purchased installation disc? Does Premiere Elements 11 work completely on this computer whereas 13 will not?
    Let us go through the typical drill so as to take nothing for granted.
    1. Does the problem exist with or without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled? Are you working with an individual home computer or in a
    school or company network?
    2. Are you running the program as Administrator and is there any "domain" account involved?
    3. Is your video card/graphics card up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
    4. Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on the computer with Premiere Elements?
    Let us start by ruling in or out any of the above, and then we can decide what next.
    Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
    Thank you.

  • I tunes 11 freezes under windows 7 64-bit immediately and won´t do anything. Please help

    itunes 11 freezes under windows 7 64-bit immediately and won`t do anything. Please help !

    The first thing to do is make sure you are using the latest version of iTunes. Look on the Help/Check for updates menu option in iTunes, which will confirm that you have the latest version or enable you to download it.
    The effective way to Sync the iPod is to add your songs to iTunes and then connect the iPod to iTunes after you have added your songs.
    So if you have been connecting the iPod and then trying to add songs "to the iPod" - don't!
    You add the music to iTunes and then sync the iPod with iTunes afterwards.
    Next, try connecting the iPod to iTunes, if you get the "duplicate file message", can you post it here (exact wording please)?
    Once you have the iPod connected to iTunes, click on the Device that appears on the left of the iTunes window. On the Device/Summary screen, choose (check) Sync only checked songs and videos. Providing the songs still have the check mark on in iTunes (the default when songs are added to iTunes), those songs will Sync with the iPod.
    Notice the other options in additiion to Summary. Look on the Podcasts pane for the Sync option (to add Podcasts to your iPod) and also on the Photos pane for options for adding (or not) Photos to your iPod. If you change any of these options, you will need to press the Sync button afterwards for the changes to take effect.
    Lastly (for now), you can only Sync the iPod with one iTunes library. If you try and Sync it with a second library on your computer, or with iTunes on another computer, all your previous songs etc will be removed and replaced with the new library.
    A thought... could the duplicate file message be because you have two iTunes libraries on your machine?

  • After installing Maverick my computer, when restarted, only a gray screen appeared. My computer won't work at all...what happened?

    After installing Maverick my computer shut down and when it restarted I couldn't get to the home screen. The monitor was grey with some dark grey shapes, it sounded like it was constantly running a program. My computer is sick!! HELP

    Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    The first step in dealing with a startup failure is to secure the data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since the last backup, you can skip this step.   
    There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to start. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
         a. Start up from the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
    b. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
    c. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
    Step 2
    If the startup process stops at a blank gray screen with no Apple logo or spinning "daisy wheel," then the startup volume may be full. If you had previously seen warnings of low disk space, this is almost certainly the case. You might be able to start up in safe mode even though you can't start up normally. Otherwise, start up from an external drive, or else use either of the techniques in Steps 1b and 1c to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation.
    Step 3
    Sometimes a startup failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
    Step 4
    If you use a wireless keyboard, trackpad, or mouse, replace or recharge the batteries. The battery level shown in the Bluetooth menu item may not be accurate.
    Step 5
    If there's a built-in optical drive, a disc may be stuck in it. Follow these instructions to eject it.
    Step 6
    Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to start up, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can start up now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
    Step 7
    If you've started from an external storage device, make sure that the internal startup volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
    Start up in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know the login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    When you start up in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, the startup volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 10. If you ever have another problem with the drive, replace it immediately.
    If you can start and log in in safe mode, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
    If the startup process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
    Step 8
    Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select the startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
    This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then restart as usual.
    Step 9
    Reinstall the OS. If the Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
    Step 10
    Do as in Step 9, but this time erase the startup volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically restart into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer the data from a Time Machine or other backup.
    Step 11
    This step applies only to models that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery: all Mac Pro's and some others (not current models.) Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery, if there is one, is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a startup failure. Typically the failure will be preceded by loss of the settings for the startup disk and system clock. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
    Step 12
    If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

  • Computer is balky random freezes across apps. Two hard drive cleans later (their scan reveals no hard drive problems) photo shop won't work at all, magic touch mouse inoperable and their diagnoses is corrupted data? Anybody heard of this?

    Computer is balky random freezes across apps. Two hard drive cleans later (their scan reveals no hard drive problems) photo shop won't work at all, magic touch mouse inoperable and their diagnoses is corrupted data? Anybody heard of this?

    Well, yes, data does get corrupted sometimes.
    The trick is finding what data.
    By 'cleaned' are you therefor meaning that the drive has been erased and the system re-installed?
    Because that's the quickest way to deal with such a situation.
    Back up the system first of course,
    Add back 3rd party apps one at a time in case one of them is causing the problem.

    hi,

    Do they appear eventually ?
    The iMessages are "pushed" to the devices which means there can be small delays between the server recognising the device went Off Line and coming back.

    I have the new iOS 6.1.2 on my iPad.  My wifi connects to my home network but keeps dropping it and won't reconnect.  Did not have this problem with previous iOS.  Apple, you have a quality assurance issue.  Don't be like Microsoft where they send out pieces of junk with testing it.

    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Internet works when LAN cord is plugged directly to laptop but not when in airport express??

    I just moved to Germany and bought an airport express and a LAN cable.  My room has a port for the LAN cord and my internet is working when the LAN is plugged into the wall and my macbook.  I've been through the setup several times trying different options, for example when it asks "Bridge Mode OR share a single ip address using dhcp and nat"  and
    "use dsl or cable with static ip address or dhcp
    use dsl or cable using ppp over ethernet PPPoE
    connect to lan
    not ready to connect"
    The airport even once said it was connected and ready to be used, but my laptop isn't getting internet.  Seems like I'm missing some blanks toward the end of setup  I've got ip address, subnet mask, router 192, dns server but I left the rest blank and they aren't necessary when I'm using my laptop plugged directly into the wall.
    Vielen Dank!

    At the Wireless tab set to these settings:
    Under "Wireless Mode" select “Create a wireless network"
    Wireless Network Name: give it any name you like
    Radio Mode: depending on your computer (you can leave the default for visitors with older equipment)
    Channel: depending on how many wireless networks are around and what channel they use.  You can play with it if there is interference, or leave it on automatic.
    Select Wireless Security: WPA/WPA2 Personal (best)
    Set a password for your wireless network (something not everyone can crack, to access it from your computer)
    Then click on Wireless Network Options…
    and set the Country to Germany
    (that’s just for good measure)
    Click “Update” and wait for the AirPort to reboot.  Then on your computer click on the airport menu item and select the network name you’ve just given your wireless network.  It will ask you for the password to join, type it in and with any luck you are good to go.
    PS.  Don’t try any odd combination, as there are many and the likelihood that it doesn’t work is greater than that it does.

  • Kernel Panic when network cable is plugged in

    Hi everybody!
    first, sorry for my english - i will give my best =)
    I have an 1,8 ghz G5 with 2 GB RAM, OS = OSX 10.3.9
    It worked well for approx. 3 years. Since 1 week i get a kernel panic (a message appears where it says i have to restart the system) after a few minutes when the network cable is plugged in.
    if the network cable is not plugged in, it works!
    i have already changed the network card (i have tried 3 different) and a new network cable...
    so what could that be?!
    thanks for every answer
    Alf

    yup. i've heard of a daemon that does exactly what you're looking for. It's called ifplugd, and there's a package available for it in Extra. You can read up about it at ifplugd's homepage.
