E1200 - Can't connect to some devices in mixed mode and bandwidth cuts to 1.5mbps

Pros: Pretty box, lightweight and cheap, makes a decent paperweight or doorstop
Cons: Everything else.
Could ONLY connect with anything other than a pc when set to MIXED channel and when doing so, it cut bandwidth to ~1.5Mbps... Not good when you have a 50Mbps cable connection. Was unable to access router configuration about 95% of the time wirelessly, and about 90% of the time when using ethernet connection.
Other Thoughts: You wanted a cheap router, then you'll get a cheap one that is only good for bringing Cisco/Linksys more money.
I used to LOVE Linksys equipment until my last 2 routers. The first slowly quit working more and more often. At first a simple power cycle would fix it, and soon it got to the point where it would refuse to work for days no matter what was done. It did last me about 3 years which was good
Giving Linksys the benefit of the doubt and how that may have just been a problem with just that one router, I picked up the E1200 at Best Buy, and had nothing but problems with it starting on doing the initial setup. This one lasted a grand total of about 5 days before I just couldnt take it any more.

There are many reasons why you experience poor signal or connection. Your intermittent wireless connection has a relation to the kind of setup that you have in your home or office. Is the connection dropping on all wireless computers or just one?
You have mentioned, you set the router to factory defaults and re-configured it. Did you try changing the channel on the router to either 1, 6, 9 or 11? There could be an interference with other wireless devices in the network (cordless phone, microwave etc.) since they work on the same frequency.
As well as update the drivers of the LAN card. For updating the drivers of the LAN card follow the steps:
# Click on Start --> on the search box type "devmgmt.msc" and click Ok...
# Device manager window will appear and in that check for the Wired adapter.. Right-click on the name of the Adapter that you want to install and click Update Driver Software…
# A window will appear asking “How do you want to search for the driver software?".. Click “Automatic Update"..
# It will automatically update find the latest drivers and will update it..
Try this and see if that helps.
As far as opening up the router setup is concern here is the link which can help in resolving the Issue. : http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=93&login=1&vw=1&app=search&articleid=3676&userrole=Linksy...

  • I have lost my Airport Express Password.It is still connected to some devices. Can I recover it and if not how do I reset it?

    I have lost my Airport Express Password.It is still connected to some devices. Can I recover it and if not how do I reset it?

    If you can connect to your wireless network and you're using an Apple AirPort Base Station, then simply use AirPort Utility. From the Base Station menu, select Show Passwords...
    Or, reset your wireless network password by momentarily depressing the reset button on your AirPort Extreme, Express, or Time Capsule. Press the button for one full second, no more. Then, configure a new password using AirPort Utility.
    If you can't connect to your wireless network, or you are not using an Apple AirPort Base Station, you can use the procedure that follows below to retrieve it from your Mac's Keychain.
    Your wireless network password is stored in your Mac's Keychain.
    You must first have an Administrator account on a Mac that you use with that AirPort Base Station, one that is used to connect to your AirPort network.
    On that Mac, open the Utilities folder. Find Keychain Access and launch it.
    In the search field at the upper right, type Airport. All the Keychain entries for your base station will appear there, as well as other entries.
    Look at the column "Kind". The entry you want to select will be labeled "AirPort network password" (not "AirPort base station password" or anything else).
    If you are trying to recover the AirPort Base Station password then the entry you want to select will be labeled "AirPort base station password" not "AirPort network password".
    Double-click that, and in the window that appears check the box for "Show password".
    You will get the following window:
    In the Password field type your Mac's Administrator password - the same one you used to log in to that Mac.
    Then, click Allow, and your wireless network password will appear in the "Show password" field:
    Make note of it.
    Close the window, then quit Keychain Access.

  • Can I connect two firewire devices?

    Ideally, I need two firewire devices running at the same time: One camera to capture footage and one firewire external hard disk for the media files (about 160 GB).
    a) I've been told that I need a firewire external disc, because a USB hard disk would slow down the editing in Final Cut. Is this true?
    b) If so, can I connect two firewire devices to my MBP (74.53 GB internal hard disk), which has only one 400 Firewire port?

    1. Yes, FireWire is faster than USB. However, it would be better to edit on your main hard drive. Use the external drive just for storage and backup.
    2. You can chain up to 255 FireWire devices provided the total power requirements did not exceed the port's capabilities. A single FireWire drive and a camera shouldn't be a problem. However, you should know that some FireWire cameras may not play well with other FireWire devices. If you find apparent problems when both are connected to the port, then you may need to use each separately. In this case you may need to put the hard drive on a USB port while the camera is connected to the FireWire port unless the camera also supports transfers on USB 2.0.

    I want to use an old 3 GS iPhone that is no longer in service as a phone now as just an iPod to play music. When I connect the phone to the computer with iTunes running, iTunes says it can't connect to the device because it didn't get a valid response from the device. How can I get the system to recognize the phone, and let me rename it as my iPod, instead of my phone?
    As an aside, the current installed operating system on this old iPhone is 4.2.1, but that wasn't one of the selectable options in the operating system list dropdown below. Don't know if that makes any difference.

  • Can I connect a wired device to access network?

    I have an Airport Express set up as "Join a Wireless network" Can I connect a wired device to the ethernet port of my AE so that it can access the network?

    The Ethernet port is normally enabled in the "Join" mode,  if you have one of the newer 802.11n models of the AirPort Express.
    If you have an older "b/g" version of the Express, the Ethernet port is not enabled in the "join" mode. Check the model number on the side of the Express. If you see A1084 or A1088, this is an older version of the Express.
    Test your current Express to see if the port is already enabled by temporarily turning off the wireless on a laptop and connecting the laptop to the Express using an Ethernet cable. See if you can get an Internet connection. If you can, you know the Ethernet port is working.

  • Sony Ericsson W810i and iSync 2.4: "can not connect to this device"

    I am using Mac OS 10.4.11 and iSync 2.4, which I believe are the most up to date versions. My Sony Ericsson W810i is shown as being compatible with iSync as shown on the iSync support page, but while I try to add the phone to it I get the message:
    "W810i
    iSync can not connect to this device".
    Does anybody have any ideas how to sort this problem? I've tried restarting both my computer and phone before trying again.

    I finally figured out how to fix this problem. The mobile phone had to be initially added by the computer under Bluetooth to pair them before adding the device to iSync. Adding the computer as a device to the phone to pair them, as I had been doing, didn't allow it to work with iSync.

  • Can't connect to some websites but internet is working

    My internet is working but I can't connect to some websites ( various university) when I disconnect the time capsule and connect directly from the modem then it works. Internet provider said it was a problem with my time capsule...
    I restored to factory settings and unplugged/ plugged 100 times. Even created new network.
    Don't know what else to do...
    Anyone out there with a similar experience??
    Thanks!

    Hi, barcenas. Welcome to the forums!
    Check your TC's DNS settings. Try using 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. Does this allow you to connect to the websites?

  • HT5622 Can i change my apple id on some devices that i have and not lose my apps and settings?

    Can i change my apple id on some devices that i have and not lose my apps and settings?

    Yes.  However, note that all Apps purchased/downloaded under one Apple ID will forever be tied to it, and will require it to update.  They will run, but will not update without the other Apple ID
    You can go to Settings->iTunes & App Stores->Apple ID and change it there for the stores.
    You can also go to Settings->iCloud, Facetime, Messages, and change it for those individual services.

  • Can I connect iPhone to iPad for direct backup and download?

    I am a Windows 7/64 user. I have an iPhone 4 and am thinking of buying an iPad, cheaper than a whole new Mac. I regarded the iPad as a small computer, and thought that one might use it to make backups of the iPhone and download eg films or other stuff from it. Now a friend told me that it is not even possible to connect the two devices to one another and that any interaction between the two would have to go through a computer. So what is the use of the iPad, when it is no more than a heavy and clumsy iPhone?

    I do not fully understand all of the ins and outs of iCloud either. I use iCloud in very "limited doses".  The greatest feature of iCloud - IMO - is that you can download purchased content again at no charge as long as you use the same Apple ID. There are some limitations based on where you live - but in the U.S - all of this is available to you.
    I also use iCloud to back up my Pages documents and currently only the Apple iWorks suite of apps, pages, Numbers and Keynote, can make use of this feature of iCloud - As far as I know.  The changes that I make on the documents will sync to my iPod Touch and I can download the documents from my iCloud.com account in order to work on them on my Mac. Revise them on the Mac, upload to my account again - and they appear on the iPad and the Touch with revisions in place.
    iCloud is still in its infancy, and even if it was "foolproof" or as foolproof as anything can be, I would never count on the cloud only to store my important files. I still backup to iTunes on my Mac and I backup my Mac with Time Machine. The use of iTunes is simply the vehicle through which all of your purchased content can be transferred to your computer for safe keeping. iTunes will store your media, apps and photos - and the backup process using iTunes - provides a way to save your settings, app data, camera roll photos, bookmarks, - in essence - the "stuff" that your apps produce - if that makes sense to you.
    Read this to learn more about iCloud. This is covers everything from soup to nuts. The articles contain links to other articles with more information as well. You may even want to peruse the iCloud forum for more information.
