Dropping signal on both Wired PCs WRT54G.........Help!!!!!

Ok Im lost here.............Ive got a WRT54G V8.......I have two wired computers and both are having issues dropping signal. One PC is Vista and the other is XP. If I disconnect the router and run one PC on the dsl modem it runs fine with no issues on either PC. I tried to access 192.168.1.1 and all it ever gives me is the famous Page cannot be found........I drop signal when im on the internet and it takes forever to find a page or it comes up Page cannot be found....usually all I have to do is refresh the page and the page appears fine. But what makes no sense is both PC's do this and Ive tried the modem directly hooked up to both PC's and it works fine...............HELP PLEASE

Leave the modem disconnected from router .... reset the router for few seconds .... after reset check the Ip address you are getting on Local area Connection .... if getting any valid Ip try to login to setup page ....

Wireless connections disconnecting wired PCs?

I have a WRT54GS (version 6.)
This is my second one, as my first one went out on me a couple months back. I've got two desktop (wired) PCs, and one laptop. The issue I've been having is that whenever the laptop connects to the wireless (I.E. whenever it's opened,) there's an "IP Collision." Now I use quotes because I've done everything possible to circumvent this. Both wired PCs are manually configured to their own IP / DNS. I noticed that the laptop tends to grab 192.168.0.101 everytime it connects, so I setup desktop #1 to use 192.168.0.103 & desktop #2 to use 192.168.0.104.
It seems impossible that the IPs could collide, considering the laptop only grabs *.101. I even manually setup the laptop so it would grab 192.168.0.101. Still, whenever the laptop connects to the internet, it boots me off my wired PC for a couple moments, disconnecting AIM, file transfers, ICQ, any streaming media, games, whatever.
I've done everything I know how to in my limited networking abilities to fix this, including an extremely frustrating 2 hour call to Linksys. Does anyone have any ideas?

The reason that you are having problems is that you are incorrectly assigning your computers fixed (static) LAN IP addresses. When you assign a fixed address, you must follow the Linksys rules:
With Linksys routers, a fixed (static) LAN IP addresses must be assigned in the device that is using the address. So you need to enter the fixed address in the computer or printer, not in the router.
When using a Linksys router, any fixed LAN IP address must be outside the DHCP server range (typically 192.168.1.100 thru 192.168.1.149), and it cannot end in 0, 1, or 255.
Therefore any fixed LAN IP address would need to be in the range of
192.168.1.2 thru 192.168.1.99 or
192.168.1.150 thru 192.168.1.254
assuming you have not changed the default DHCP server range

Mac Mini wont connect to the internet both wired or wifi! Any help?

My other two Macbooks will connect to the net both wired and wifi. As of this morning my Mac Mini just stopped connecting all together. I have version 10.6.8. I only really use the Mac Mini to browse the web and watch movies off of my external hard drive.
I've tried connecting to another wireless network and the same thing happens. I tried connecting to different ports on my router and nothing. My Macbooks have zero issues with connecting. Any ideas???

if you are using Airport it has problems connecting to some modems on dsl systems.

BT Homehub 2.0 Dropping all connections. Wired and...

Hi All
I recently joined BT a couple of months ago after being with Virgin. I was very happy with the speeds up the service to begin. Then the homehub started dropping all connections, both wireless and wired. This would happen about once or twice per day and the only way to get the connections back would be to power off the homehub. The lights remained all blue and there was no apparently connection issues after ringing through to support. After a few calls to BT they agreed that the router was faulty.
I then received a replacement hub, and after connecting it, I found that it was even worse. It lost all connections about every 20 minutes to the point where I had to hook up the one I was about to return to BT.
I have read similar threads, but nothing has been able to solve my problem. I have checked the channels and tried changing them, although I was the only router on a particular channel to begin with.
I am about to ring up BT tomorrow to request yet another homehub. Before I do I was hoping that someone would be able to help. In the entire time I was with Virgin for 2 years, I think I lost connection maybe 2 or 3 times over 2 years with their supplied netgear router. This is why I really feel the fault is with the router and not the line. I am not against just buying a new router, so any suggestions that people have used with BT would also help.
See below for my router ADSL settings and also speed test results.

My Airport keeps dropping signals!!

I am losing my mind!!! We have an airport extreme base station connected to our Vonage router from the DSL modem. It was all working just fine and then one day it just started to drop the signal throughout the day. It does in and out but still shows that I have full signal in the airport bars in my top menu. I tried the internet without the airport and just plugged directly in from the DSL and it worked perfectly. I also tried it with the airport out from the DSL and leaving the vonage router out of the equation and it dropped signals . this tells me that it is the airport.
In the house we also have two other airport extremes. they both extend the range of our network and one of them is used to connect to the stereo for itunes.
My system all worked fine before the system update and now it doesn't. I am at a total loss and am exhausted from trying to deal with this anymore. is there a soloution floating around in here that i am simply too frazzled to see?

I don't know if this is the solution or not, but I noticed after the 10.4.5 update, I could only see access points on channel 6.
My own access point was on channel 1 and I couldn't see it or connect to it, even with the SSID being fully broadcast. I changed the access point (Linksys WAP54G) to channel 6 and I'm connected for over 2 days with a rock solid connection.
I still do not see any access points in my neighborhood, including my second access point which is on channel 14 (Linksys WRT54G).
Let me know if this works for you.
Regards,
Sparkus

Sudden Problem: Snow ABS Constantly Drops Signal with iMac G5

My iMac G5 (running OS X 10.4.3) is suddenly unable to maintain a wireless connection with my Snow Airport Base Station, for more than 5 minutes at a time.
I've done a hard reset of the Snow Base Station, reloaded the Base Station software, changed the Snow Base Station Channel, disabled Interference Robustness, checked for interfering Wifi using MacStumbler (no other Base Stations exist in my building), and installed Apple's Airport Update 2005-001, but the problem remains. All the lights are properly functioning on the Snow Base Station. I am really confused, as this problem just appeared out of the blue 2 days ago.
At the same time, my iMac G5 still never drops the wireless connection with my Airport Express Base Station, or with my E-Tech Wireless DSL Router.
Can anyone else comment on this, or suggest a solution? For the moment, I am not able to access the internet and stream iTunes, it is an either/or situation for now.
Many thanks, Aaron

Help, I've been having the same problem and it has gotten worse and now I have a neighbor that is coming across the same problem.
I've been advised to try a new Airport Card but I don't if that is the problem because the the computer shows a perfectly good signal but just won't connect to the internet or printers connected to the basestation. Can you still buy a 802.11 b airport card?
What I have:
Airport 802.11 b base station (white), one G4 PowerMac/10.3.9 directly connected (works fine), one iMac G4/10.3.9 (pivot screen, 802.11b card), one G4 Powerbook/10.3.9 (802.11 extreame card).
Tower works perfectly, Powerbook works perfectly, iMac no longer connects but shows strong signal to both Basestation and Airport Express connected to Stereo. iMac won't talk to anything exept something directly connected. Did everything recommended on Apple site short of buying a new wireless card.
I'm starting to see a pattern here with other people having the same problem.
Help, we need solutions.

Airport dropping signal

I have just got a new Imac have got it onto my home network. Today Airport has begun to drop signal when the time machine is updating. I keep getting messages that say the Data disk isnt connected. I am using a time capsule. I dont get this problem with the 2 G4 powerbooks I have that backup to the same TC. Airport seems to be looking for new networks every 20 seconds.... is this normal?? I havent noticed this on my powerbooks?
Anyone got any clues??
Just thought. Is there a setting that will shut down Airport when the computer sleeps?? I have it set on never sleep at the moment and display sleep after 10 min.
Thanks for any help that you guys can post!
Cheers

Mine has dropped a couple times the last day or so.
I'm thinking it was the security update they just
released. It had some stuff in there related to
airport. Did you install it?
Yes, I did install it. But this was happening before the secuity update. I think it's more likely related to the firmware upgrade I did. Did you do that one?

Do we have any sollution for dropping signals and invalid sim or sim failiure

can someone tell me how to fix the problem of dropping signals then searching catch network make one or two calls and again call failed and the process starts repeating again as i have restored my handset with itunes with a latest 5.0.1 94a406 but no use? please help if some one can.

Follow the suggestions in this article:

TS4429 NO SIGNAL AFTER UPDATING LATEST SOFTWARE ANY HELP PLZ

got no signal after downloading latest software anyone help please

Hi norrod
If you hadn't already been to the phone shop I would have said it is most probably a hardware fault in the antenna circuitry of the phone.
Can you remember the phone being dropped at any time?
Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

My Iphone 5 keeps dropping signal (no service) in good service areas?

Help my iphone 5 keeps dropping signal saying no service then after a while it gets service again, sometimes this can take up to an hour. Also if i toggle airplane mode it sometimes comes back or if i switch the phone on and off it comes back. This is happening in areas of good signal. Back in January my phone did get wet but i dryed it off and its been faultless ever since apart from this recent problem of no signal. I have an Genius appointment booked for this Thursday to see what they will do about it, will they just blame it on the water eventhough i have seen this problem time and time again on the Internet and the best way seems to replace the faulty phone.?

Try restarting your iPhone. Press and hold the power and home button for 10 seconds and then turn your device back on. Otherwise, the place where you currently are may not have very good signal for ATT.

Utilizing both wired network connections

Hello,
Is it possible to utilize both wired network connections on a Mac Pro? What I need to do is connect 5 Mac Pro computers to each other via a Cisco switch and use file sharing to connect between them and transfer files. Also, the other network connection needs to be connected to our corporate network - email, internet, connecting to servers not associated with the other network connection. The second network connection is already in place, and I need to now connect the 5 Mac Pros. How do I set this up in OS X? Is it possible? Thanks.

Hi RoyJames,
What type of device are you trying to connect to the printer? It is possible to have the printer connected via USB for one device and connected via network for another.
Hope this helps.

Airport Drops Signal - UPDATE, no fix

I've been having the same problem as most of the people in this forum right now. Dropped or weak airport signal, even though your sitting right next to the router. People have seemed to attributed the problem to firmware updates on the card or the basestation. It happened to me right when I updated to 10.4.4 and the APEX to 6.3, right around the time of Macworld.
So I went to the Apple store today to see if the genius bar could help me out. The 2 guys there had seen the problem recently in a few other computers, and we were able to diagnose it as a software/firmware problem. They had no official information directly from Apple about the problem, but assured me that they watch these boards and probably know about this problem.
Their diagnosis was to either send the PB in for a $300 repair, which wouldn't fix it anyway, or wait for the next update and hope that that fixes it. Not the answer that I wanted, but at least I know i'm not going crazy.
Can we find a way to fix it temporarily? Anyone been successful downgrading firmware or doing an erase and install? Has anyone had a different result finding a fix? I'm really not enjoying being tethered to my 20 ft ethernet cable right now.

I actually tried that a while back, but no luck. It doesn't seem to be an issue with my basestation. I know alot of people have had fixes when they downgraded firmware in their Airport Extreme Base Stations, but for me, its and issue with my Powerbook.
I know this because i'm using a Dlink router. But i tried my APEX basestation and still no luck. Went to my mom's house and couldn't see her network. Tried it at work and weak and dropped signal there. The final nail in the coffin was at the Apple store where I could barely pick up their network while I was surrounded by macs that had full signal.
I did an archive and install, downgraded to 10.4, and then tried to install the updates one by one, no luck. I checked the firmware on the card, which said 3.5.something, but it was still not working. I went throught all the updates and the signal never got better. I set-up new users, trashed preferences, reset PRAM, fixed permissions, all the regular stuff, still broken.
I KNOW it's an issue with my computer, not the basestation. I did get a pop-up window that asked me to upgrade my airport when i installed the 10.4.4combo update. I'm wondering if that did it.

I could be *very* wrong but did not know you could output from HDMI into displayport consistently with no issues.
Try a mDP to DP cable like this (the mDP end will go directly into the thunderbolt port of your laptop)

What version of iOS?
Is the router running the latest version of available firmware?
Are any other devices having issues connecting to the router?
Does the iPhone have the same issue with other Wi-Fi hot spots?
