E4200 Drops connection

Hey guys I'm having a bit of trouble with my e4200, 
It keeps on "dropping" connection, and by dropping I mean it constantly around 3-5 minutes the internet stops working with all my computers, it's connected by wifi with 2 PC's, and 1 PC is wired with an ethernet cable, and I also have 2 mobile devices connected at it. The internet would start working again within 30s, to 1m, but that it drops soon.
Methods I've done to fix it:
-Updated firmware to the latest one
-Set the MTU to 1400
-Reset it, (30 second press)
-Rebooted, (Cooled down, doesn't really run hot just a little warm)
-Restored to factore defaults
Please help, thanks!

Hi , have you tried observing the modem's internet connection?
I believe that I can make it

  • E4200 dropping connections

    my e4200 updated with latest 1.00.1 firmware is constantly dropping connections from the outside to existant lan servers running low traffic services when my machine is using torrent or internet gaming.( call of duty modern warfare )
    anyone else with that behavior ?
    when will cisco fix this ?
    cheers

    lordgrinz,
    I believe you. I just wanted to point out there are many users not experiencing issues (given their needs and the features they use). Given this, there are perhaps specific scenarios / setups  under which the issues occur, some of which may not be Cisco's fault (software or hardware conflicts with equipment from other manufacturers).
    For example, when I used my Rosewill wireless utlity (came with my 802.11n USB adapter), it conflicted with something that caused the E4200 to stop broadcasting wireless / lock up on the wireless side.
    I stopped using the Rosewill utlity and the issue has not happened again in over a week (I reproduced the issue by reenabling  the utlity at one point and within two days I experienced the same problem again).
    It also did not happen the first few weeks when I was not using the Rosewill utlity and had occurred another time when I used it right after getting the router (i.e. during the 2 periods of time during which the utility was disabled I had zero issues and the two times I turned the utility back on, the problem occurred again.
    (I only liked the Rosewill utility for it's advanced view of wireless networks in my area, including their exact signal strength, channel etc. I think SSIDer, as an alternative, provides this anyway).
    That is just one example.
    I am not saying the E4200 does not have flaws (I believe there are some documented DHCP issues that some have experienced etc.).
    I am only saying that with my setup and the features I use, my E4200 has been rock solid.

  • Amazon Q&A - E4200 - Drops Connections for Wifi Thermostats etc.

    Date: Sep 18, 2012 1:01:07 PM PDT
    I have issues as well. Drops connections for thermostats (Wifi) and other devices. Range mediocre as well. Will be replacing it. Linksys has gone downhill.

    Hi  there. Is your E4200 a hardware version 1 or 2? Have you tried to change the wireless channels on the router? If you're trying to connect to the 2.4 ghz band you can try channels 1,3,6,9, or 11. There are external factors that we have to consider when it comes to wireless connectivity - distance, interference with other wireless devices. If you have tried those, you can try to update the firmware of the router which you can find from Cisco's homesupport site (http://homesupport.cisco.com/en-us/support/routers/E4200).
    You can check these links:

  • E4200 - Dropping connection

    Save your money...get a cheaper router...because this is NOT worth the extra money...I will most likely have to get an extender...and my router and computer are no more than 50 feet apart, all on one floor, with two very wide archways between the two devices, and I experience drops every day...When I called tech support they tried to tell me that they would exchange it for the 3200!!! That is the cheaper model!!! I told them to send me half of what I paid so that I could buy an extender! Obviously they wouldn't do that!!!

    There is no such issue with the router E4200 which creates such kind of problem. Just it requires proper settings on the router’s web interface. So if I relate your issue then the above mentioned solution justifies the troubleshooting steps to be taken, however, in addition to that I would also like to suggest you to try and install your Linksys E4200 router using the Cisco Connect Software just in case, if you are not using it....
    Installation disc that came along with your router would help you in installing this router using the Cisco Connect Software, using which you can expect this router to offer you best throughput with wireless connectivity in terms of downloading and uploading of data.....
    To set up your router using the Cisco Connect Software, you can use:
    http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=80&app=vw&vw=1&login=1&json=1&docid=e30f926604334d5386685...
    Also, try re-installing your router using the Cisco Connect Software, and it should help your cause....Just in case required, you can use the above mentioned troubleshooting steps.....

  • E4200 drop connection

    I am having a problem with my e4200-RM, this device has never worked since I got it. every other day all connections will drop, both wired and wireless and the device has to be hard reset to work again,  I have used live chat 3 times, Once I was told to update the firmware even though I told them I already had the current firmware, I was also told I wouldn't be dropped out of the chat while the firmware updated and rebooted the device. I have been instructed to change the MTU from auto(1500) to 1300, the problems persist. I have even changed modems just to be sure, my ISP tells me the problem is not on there end and I am inclined to believe them as if I connect directly to the modem the connection is stable and doesn't drop.

    My understanding of some gateway cable modems or cable modems that have a DHCP server is this:
    If your modem has a high speed connection, it will be a dumb bridge (like it's supposed to be) and everything will be fine, but if it no longer has a high speed connection, it's DHCP server will come on (it will drop out of bridge mode) and foul up your network.  It fouls it up by double natting it.
    The only thing I can suggest is to look at your E4200's status page (when things are messed up) and see if it is getting a public internet ip address or a private internet ip address.  If your E4200 gets a private ip address, then you'll know what the problem is.
    You may have to call your ISP and use your E4200's mac address in the provisioning to solve your problem.
    And if that doesn't work, I would try to figure out what is breaking my high speed connection and causing the modem's DHCP server to kick in.
    There's hundreds of posts on the internet (google) of people having problems with their cable modems dropping out of bridge and their modem's DHCP server turning on.....and causing them to double nat.
    Maybe you can get a strictly dumb bridge modem from your ISP as a loaner to test for a couple weeks, or maybe borrow a spare router from a friend to isolate the problem.

  • E4200 Constantly Drops Connections (Wired and Wireless)

    My E4200 seems to be dropping connections throughout the day.  For wireless it'll still show full signal and connection, but there will be no internet activity for about a minute.  Then after a minute things will work just fine again. 
    For wired I notice it in my XBox mainly when I get dropped from games as constant as the wireless drops.
    I believe my modem isn't the problem since the old router never dropped connections on the hard wired devices.  Occasionally my old D-Link router would drop wireless, but never this frequent
    I am running 1.0.02.  I've rebooted the router/modem several times.  I even reinstalled the entire setup with the current version of Cisco Connect as the tech person suggested, but still no help.  The first week or so using this router was flawless, but ever since then it's been dropping connections several times throughout the day to any device connected (wireless or wired).  The problem seems that the router just hiccups the connection very quickly, so quickly that Windows doesn't even recognize the connection has been lost, but long enough to drop a multiplayer game on XBox or to have me mashing refresh on my internet browsers.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    I have not had this problem with my router and have had it since Feb 2011. I did have a range extender from WNR2000RPT Netgear that I had to reboot everyday and finally threw it away and bought the Linksys RE1000. The combination is flawless in my 3000sqft. house.  I will say though it may have to do with your setup and what channels you are on. I have my router setup just for wireless and not as a DHCP server and let my FIOS router handle DHCP. Just so I am not running 2 seperate networks in the house. I also gave my E4200 a static IP as well as the Range Extender static IP. So there would not be IP address conflicts that could cause for possible issues.  I did have a problem with the latest firmware disabling my USB for my external hard drive so I had to downgrade to resolve that issue.

  • E4200 - Extremely high latency, drops connections

    I have 50mb high speed Internet via comcast using a docsys 3 modem, and my wired connection is blazingly fast. I am more than happy to pay for performance, thus this purchase. And that's precisely why it's so infuriating to have 5 to 10 seconds of waiting for a web page to even BEGIN to load via the wireless network. Something is seriously wrong with this router - probably the firmware - even though I'm up to date (I called to double check)
    Once connections are made, the transfer is impressive. But I'm not sure the 5+ seconds to start each connection is worth it.

    There might be some settings required in the router so that it gets the proper solution. If you are facing the concern of getting lag, dropped connections then you can try the following steps:
    A] With the help of Cisco Connect Software (if at all you have installed the router with the help of this software)
    1] Open the software and go to the option which says "Router Settings"
    2] Then click on the option which says "Advanced Settings" which will take you to the router's configuration page.
    3] Lower the MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) from 1500 to 1400 or less (usually found on your router's main/ basic setup page)
    4] Then go to the Wireless tab, keep network mode as mixed,
    For Channel Settings of 2.4 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 6, 9, 11..
    For Channel Settings of 5 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 40 or 161...
    B] If you haven't installed Cisco Connect then you can log on to the router's user interface using it's default IP address in the browser which is 192.168.1.1 and type in 'admin' as the password leaving the username field blank. This will take you to the router's web interface and then follow steps as mentioned above to make the changes.
    You should also make sure you upgrade the drivers for the WLAN card on your laptop computers.
    Second, for best results, wireless-N routers should be paired with wireless-N adapters in the same way that wireless-G routers should be paired with wireless-G adapters.
    Should there be a mix of wireless-G and wireless-N adapters connecting to the network, it would be best to set the wireless network mode to Mixed. This will allow wireless-G devices to have a stable connection to the network and will allow the wireless-N device to still connect to the network but will be performing based on the wireless-G speed.

  • E4200 dropping wired/wireless internet connections

    I bought it a few years ago and it's ran fine since. I have been pretty impressed with it up until a few months ago when it started misbehaving (dropping connections every 10 minutes or so). I do have the Cisco Connect software installed and have also been using it.
    I thought maybe it's the firmware so I updated after the problems began.
    -checked my modem which is fine and is working well within the spec range.
    I have done the following:
    -I have upgraded to the latest firmware, refreshed it multiple times using different browsers (IE, Chrome)
    -changed my settings more than a dozen times (channels and 20 vs 40 mhz)
    -removed wifi-protect, put it back a dozen times or so
    -did a full reset
    -turned it over, on it's side, on it's back
    -Did a rain dance but all that did was make it rain
    -changed cables three times
    It has been in the exact same location near the exact same modem and Ooma box forever. Even my hard wired connection drops every ten minutes or so.
    I am desperately looking for some kind of solution to this thing as we have weened ourselves (a family of four) of of cable and rely on it.
    I would call customer support but after waiting long enough, I know I'd lose connection again.
    Would anyone be willing to offer me some advice or potential ixes that I may have skipped? I really appreciate the effort and hope it can be fixed instead of buying another.
    Thank you in advance.

    To safely update FW, I recommend doing the following: Download the FW file from the support site first.
    1. Save router config to file first using IE or FF with all security add-ons disabled.
    2. Factory reset the router with all other devices disconnected or turned OFF accept for 1 wired PC.
    3. Reload or Update the FW using IE or FF. Just download the FW file to your local wired LAN PC.
    4. Factory reset the router and then set up from scratch first and test with out loading the saved config from file. Check to see if any problems are fixed before loading the saved config from file. Sometimes you need to set up from scratch with out loading the saved config file. Just safer that way.

    For DSL/PPPoE connections on the router, ensure that "Always ON" option is enabled.
    I recommend that you have your ISP check the cabling going to the ISP modem, check signal levels going to the ISP modem. For cable Internet, RG-6 coaxial cable is needed, not RG-59. Check for t.v. line splitters and remove them as they can introduce noise on the line and lower the signal going to the ISP modem. Connecting to the ISP modem could result in a false positive as the signal to the modem could be just enough to that point then adding on a router, could see problems. Ensure modem is working well too. Bad modems are out there as well. The router operation is dependent upon getting good data flow from the ISP modem and the modem is dependent upon getting good signal from the ISP Service.

    Router Placement
    Forum User - "Well I feel really dumb. After moving the router away from other electronic devices my speeds are back to normal. Just a heads up for anyone experiencing slow speeds, you might want to move it away from other electronics and see if that helps."
    3-6' feet minimum safe distance between devices.
    Placement on main level floor and central in the building and WELL ventilated is preferred. Not in basements or closets as building materials, or near by electronics devices could interfere or hinder good signal propagation.

  • New time capsule+new airport express=daily dropped connections

    I have a new 2 TB Time Capsule and a new Airport Express that I puchased to update my old set-up of an Airport Express and Airport Extreme.
    I have the TC set-up as the primary base station in the back of the house and the airport express set-up to extend the network in the front of the house. I was getting constant disconnects up front for the first several days so I finally exchanged the new AX for another one thinking maybe the first one was faulty. I reset the TC back to factory defaults for good measure and re-set up my network the same way with the new AX.
    Two days with no disconnects, thought it was fixed, and then it started again...no joy. Not as often as with the first AX, but still it happens 2-3 times a day and always up in the front of the house while we're on our MacBook Pro or MacBook Air. When this happens both the AX and the TC have green lights and full bars of connectivity show in the menu bar, but yet no internet access. The only way to reconnect is to restart the AX. I have noticed too, that when this happens, the Airport Utility does not show the TC at all...even though it's light is fully green and it should be there, it just shows the AX until I restart and then both show up again.
    I've tried changing the channel from automatic to a specific channel but this really doesn't change things much. Now I'm starting to wonder if something is awry with the TC. I've also noticed that it sometimes fails to back up because it can't find a connection to my iMac which is right next to it in the back of the house.
    So far this upgrade has been more of a downgrade. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Just an update and still seeking some advice for this situation...anybody?
    I tried re-setting both TC and AX to factory settings and re-configuring. Still get at least 3-4 dropped connections up front on a daily basis; however, TC has been connecting successfully and backing up my iMac, so at least that seems to be ok.
    Still the same situation with the TC not showing up in Airport Utility every time the network connection drops happen...just the AX is seen until I finally have to restart the AX and then both can be viewed in Airport Utility and the internet connection is restored. Sometimes I can restore connection by simply toggling my airport access on and off in the menu bar of my MacBook Pro, but more often then not, I have to restart the AX itself to get back online.
    Is it possible that this could be an issue with the TC? Somehow it might be dropping the connection to the AX? I can still exchange it for another if this may be the case. I'm already on my second AX thinking that the Express was the problem initially.
    So far, nothing seems to help the situation. About the only thing that I haven't done is configure the AX to just join the network rather than extend it...but that would be defeating the purpose of why I bought it in the first place (to stream iTunes and extend network).
    I never had issues with my old set-up, but then I had it configured as a WDS because I didn't have the option to "extend" the network as it was an older AX and Airport Express.

  • 10.7.3 MBP Wifi Problem - Endless Timeouts & Dropped connections

    I've been reading around here a bit already and so I know many other people are having Wifi issues with Lion, but given that there are so many discussions and so many pages of talk, it's hard to go through it all, and using the search I haven't found anything that's quite similar to what I'm experiencing, so I'm starting a new topic...
    Basically, I've got a late 2006 MacBook Pro, installed 10.7.1 (form 10.6.8) on in back in Aug 2011 and everything seemed to be fine. I updated to 10.7.2 sometime in Jan and still didn't notice any issues, but wasn't using Wifi at all at the time.
    Then in Feb I moved and started using wifi (with a Cisco N router), and noticed that often, the system would not automatically reconnect to the network after waking up from sleep. Just selecting the network manually worked on the first try every time though, so it wasn't so bad.
    At the end of April, I finally got around to installing the 10.7.3 update. I read it was supposed to fix wifi issues and so was looking forward to it. It installed fine and didn't seem to cause any problems...
    2 days later I moved again (to India), and all **** broke loose... Now, I can rarely connect to wifi (a Beetel G router, configed with WPA). Around 25% of the time, the network won't show up in the list (despite being a clear 5ft from the base station), and when it does show up, 95% of the time I get a "connection timeout" error - often immeadiately, but sometimes it takes about 10sec to respond. On the same network, 2 Win 7 Dells and an iPad 1 all work flawlessly - it's not the router...
    One the occasions that I am able to connect, it usually works fine, but if I put the computer to sleep and wake up again, there's no guarentee that the connection will work again - it's back to the lottery. And sometimes even when it's connected, the wifi stays (according to the menu indicator) but the internet connection disappears (to the point I can't even ping the router - 100% packet loss, let alone any internet server)
    I've tried zapping everything I can think of (PRAM, SMC), repairing permissions, clearing the remembered networks from the System Prefs, deleting old Locations and creating new ones etc. I have a clean install of 10.7.1 that I booted off of, but it still had the same issues!

    I'm pretty savy with computers and have dealt with all kinds of stuff before, but this one is beyond me, and is really annoying! I konw my machine is old, but it was totally useable up until these Wifi issues, and now wifi is basically useless.
    From what I've read, it seems like its a driver issue with the Atheros card in my machine, but most people seem to be complaining about dropped connections (mine rarely drops) rather than timeout connection issues. I've also never had the "hardware not found" issue that many people have, so I think this is something different.
    Anyone out there have any advice? I'm getting close to losing it with wifi since the update!

    Sorry - to add:
    I don't think it's a question of WPA vs. WPA2, or even channel number - I have 2 identical routers here and neither work (both default to WPA Ch 11) but I changed one to WPA2, new SSID, various channels and still had the same problems.
    Another thing to note that should be irrelevant, but who knows: the Firewire controller on my machine died back in Fall 2010 - to the point where the system won't start-up unless I remove the IOFirewire***.kext from /System/Library/Extensions , and as soon as I do that, it works flawlessly (minus Firewire). It meant I had a **** of a time installing Lion becuase I can't boot off the Recovery Partition (which has the drivers baked into it), but by cloneing my HD, installing Lion onto the clone via a borrowed machine, removing the .kext's and cloning back, I got it on and everything seems to be fine otherwise... I posted about that problem before, but never got any answers. And it wasn't just me, my father has a late 2007 MBP and the same firewire issue happened to his within 5 days of mine (not a power spike - I think it was shortly after some system update if I remember correctly).

  • Poor performance and now dropping connection

    I am very underwhelmed by performance since switching to infinity FTTC last year. Download speed is very variable and I just cannot get an upload speed much better than 1.1 Mb/s.
    Now we have a regularly dropping connection. Last Saturday morning we had a thunderstorn with heavy downpour and phone line dropped completely - no dialtone and unsurprisingly no broadband. Did a line check from my mobile - all fine and no reported problems in the area. I phoned BT and got an Indian who just repeated what the website told me and said couldn't get an engineer for 4 days! Phone came back late the same afternoon and a little while later broadband came up but connection was up and down like a yo-yo. After 4 days of sunshine when the engineer turned up broadband had been up solid from 3 am and phone was fine. Engineer did more detailed tests which showed no problem and reckoned our problem must have been fixed, and that reason broadband had been dropping was because of computerised checks due to reported fault which would cause line to drop.
    For a few days all was fine, although performance still underwheliming, until we had another downpour yesterday morning. Phone line stayed up, although a little crackly, but once again broadband started dropping regularly. Since then it has gradually improved (no more rain).
    My suspicion is (and always has been) that with the heavy rain water is getting into a connection somewhere. How do I go about communicating it to BT support (I can't even find a web page or number for reporting broadband problems) this fact and actually getting someone to look into it properly? I rejected the "fault reported fixed" on the tracking your fault web page but so far nothing.
    I am distinctly unimpressed with BT support and unless this gets fixed soon I am seriously thinking of switching to fibre to the home with Virgin (despite hating Branson) especially as the move from Yahoo mail to BT mail has not been smooth and the BT webmail is full of bugs (which again I cannot find any way of reporting).

    Thanks. I tried that. Broadband up and down regularly until the day the engineer came. Day before had intermittent heavy crackling on the line and calls dropping. Day he came all is fine and of course his diagnostics checks come back all clear. Apparently, or so he told me, they are not allowed to work on our line unless the checks show a fault...which they didn't.
    I've just had 24 hours of our broadband working but just now it's started dropping regularly again.
    I am getting very frustrated/annoyed. What do I do now? How do they expect to solve the problem if it isn't constant and they can't get an engineer to look at it within 3 or 4 days? Do I just keep on calling our an engineer until by chance it happens to hit a problem while they're on site? Not good for customer satisfaction and surely it must cost them to keep sending out an engineer!

  • AT&T U-verse dropping connections suddenly

    Hi all.
    Since upgrading to Yosemite, there has been a degrading of my internet reliability with AT&T U-verse, and its been getting worse and worse.  I now drop connections every HOUR.  Speed and WiFi strength are great when its working, but it will spontaneously stop working, and if i do a series of diagnostics, quitting safari, turning wifi off and on, etc., I can get back online after a few minutes.  BUT WHAT THE HECK IS HAPPENING?  At this point I've mucked around with just about every network setting so I no longer even know what they should be.  AT&T is fairly useless regarding tech support for Macs, so hopefully someone here knows the current UVerse setup and can give me some advice.  Here's where I stand:
    - I have a 2009 Mac Pro, running latest Yosemite.
    - Router is AT&T Motorola NVG589, connecting to U-verse service (not gigabit, just regular)
    - When internet service drops, it appears that the WiFi continues to be connected well, at least for a while.  The NVG589 status page still shows my machine connected, and the WiFi signal strength in the menu bar remains full strength, but Diagnostics show failure to connect to ISP and internet.  Other Devices, like my phone or other laptops, continue to connect fine, so the broadband is fine, so maybe the WiFi is only appearing to work or something else is going on.  At some point, the WiFi also stops responding until I do a bunch of restarting stuff.
    - I have already trashed the various preference files and created fresh new locations, but to no avail.  It all works fine for a while then goes spotty again.
    - I have my network prefs set to "Link-local only" which had worked fine before.
    - I set the DNS servers to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
    I don't really know much about the various pros and cons of different settings, but apparently you can get the NVG589 to assign a static IP address (or semi-static or something like that) but is that BETTER?   would that end the dropouts?
    Any other ideas?

    Hello Javier Bonafont,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that it can be very frustrating when you are having multiple Wi-Fi drops in signal at home. There are a couple of different troubleshooting steps that I would recommend in this situation. Please refer to the attached article for information and steps to help you troubleshoot this situation.
    Wi-Fi: How to troubleshoot Wi-Fi connectivity - Apple Support
    Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly
    Your Mac may not not stay connected to your Wi-Fi network reliably.
    Your Mac may stop accessing the Internet during use.
    Solution
    Use these steps if your computer disconnects from its Wi-Fi network unexpectedly.
    Check your range to the Wi-Fi router and reduce the effect of interference.If your computer is too far from your Wi-Fi router or your environment has too much Wi-Fi interference, then your computer may not detect the Wi-Fi network properly. The easiest way to check for range limits with your Wi-Fi network is to move your computer or your Wi-Fi router closer together and make sure that there are no obstructions (such as walls, cabinets, and so forth) between the router and your computer.See Potential sources of wireless interference for more information about interference and solutions.
    Try connecting to a different Wi-Fi network. If your computer works fine when connected to a different Wi-Fi network, then the issue may be related to your network router or ISP. In that case, contact the manufacturer of your router or your ISP.
    Best regards,
    Joe

  • New Airport Extreme (6th Gen) Dropping Connection from Time to Time.

    Problem:
    6th Generation Airport Extreme drops connection intermittently at random times.
    Set Up:
    6th Generation Airport Extreme (main router - no hard drive/not a time capsule) located center of house on the main floor. 2 Range extenders each approximately 30+ feet away from main router. First range extender (Airport Express - newest generation) located on the third floor parallel to main. Second range extender (Airport Express - new generation) is located at the end of the kitchen (main floor).
    Main Router is connected straight from a Motorolla Surfboard modem on a foyer table at the center of the house.
    Range extenders connected to Main Router wirelessly and at wall outlett height.
    Previous Setup:
    Same setup as above but, with the 5th Generation Airport Extreme instead of the 6th Generation.
    Firmware:
    All current versions.
    Devices:
    1 SONY VAIO VGN-FW490J
    HP Notebook G60
    Several WEMO outlets
    1 iPad Mini
    1 iPad 2
    1 iPhone 5
    1 Motorolla RAZR MAXX
    Macbook Pro
    iMac (wired from main router on foyer table)
            Note: All of these routers/range extenders/modem/computers are plugged into surge protected outlets.
    Notes:
    With the new Airport Extreme my family and I have been experiencing intermettent connection drops. The amber light on the main router turns on and within a few minutes turns green and connection resumes again. This has been happening for a few days now ever since I purchased the new router. This has not happened before with the 5th generation router, which I donated to our church.
    I have not exchanged the product yet. I will be initiating a Complete Power Recycle after some suggested solutions in a bit. I have contacted my Internet Service Provider (Comcast) for a line check and found no problems.
    Has anyone found any solutions to resolve the intermittent connection drops? Is reverting to the previous firmware going to solve this?
    I would like some insights before trying to do all this. Thank you all for your time.
    P.s.
    I've done a detailed post since posts like these is frequently asked questions on set-up, devices, connections, etc:

    Update:
    Before I went to exchange my 6th Gen Extreme, I ran through all possible solutions from complete power recycle to no devices connected. I even went out of my way to my cousin's house to test it out. The same problem still kept coming.
    I was able to exchange my 6th Gen Airprt Extreme with another 6th Gen Extreme the other day. I set it up how the instructions told me and within an hour it did the exact same problem as the previous 6th Gen Extreme. I gave up and decided to get the ASUS RT-AC66R (ASUS RT-AC66U is the same, just the 'R' is Best Buy's model.)
    The ASUS router is just as great as the 6th Gen Router. You can actually get it down to $180 by price matching to Amazon. The ASUS router has 3 antennas that you can adjust according to where the signal is used more. I pointed them more towards the backyard, upstairs, and the living room. The range is by far better than the Extreme because of this. I was able to drive down a good block (3-4 houses down) and still connected to my router. Also it has 2 USB ports which was fantastic for me so I can plug in my external hard drive and a non-wireless printer. It has many more features that I really liked that I didn't even know was possible. The router utility interface is a bit confusing at first but, it's pretty easy once you get the hang of it.
    Some features that I liked with the ASUS was the ability to have multiple guest network with time limits. 3 for 2.4gHz and 3 for 5gHz. I think that Airport guest accounts are only allowed 2.4gHz but not a 5gHz. Though I only needed 1 for each but, I can see this working well for businesses.
    Another feature is traffic manager. I am able to set specific bandwith for different types of use such as, high priority 80%-100% bandwith for gaming, medium priority badwith 70%-90% for HD media streaming/data transfer, and 50%-80% low bandwith for casual web surfing. It also has it's own "beamforming" so that data isn't free roamed.
    Lastly it has AiCloud sync which is basically like having a hard drive into your router but, much like having a Dropbox at the same time.
    More or less I think I'll stick with the ASUS router rather than going with the new Airport Extreme. I think that it's more on firmware issue than it is hardware. If you are not willing to switch to another brand and want to keep staying with Apple, I recommend going back to the 5th generation until a new firmware or rebuilt 6th gen extreme is out.
    I have not found any problem with the ASUS router and no intermittent connectivity issues.
    Now I am not trying to make you buy the ASUS router. I'm merely expressing how great the product is.
    I do have 60 days from Best Buy return policy to try out the ASUS (and report of any malfuntions) and if within that time a new firmware is out for the Extreme. I highly doubt I'll go back to the extreme though.
    Hope this helped!!

  • LaserJet Pro P1102w dropping connection

    I hope someone can help. We have been having a long term issue with our HP LaserJet Pro P1102w wifi printer keeping a stable connection to our network. It connects to our network via wifi. It is in a high signal wifi area of the office.
    In the printer network settings I have tried setting the printers IP as static and also tried it as dynamic being assigned by our DHCP server.
    The problem is the printer keeps randomly dropping connection in that we can no longer print to the printer / access the printers webpage or ping the printer. The problems is fixed by either powering down and restarting the printer or if you leave the printer after a period of time the printer will once again be contactable (by doing nothing).
    I have updated the printers firmware, computers printer drivers. Checked network settings but just cannot resolve the issue.
    It's driving me crazy!

    Thanks for the clarification Angus,
    Try disabling the Auto Off feature, this current configuration actually turns the printer Off after 5 minutes idle (Any key pressing will turn the printer On, but any remote command as printing or accessing the printer page will fail..
    You may enter the EWS by entering the printer IP through Safari.
    Enter the Settings tab.
    Select Print Settings and turn the Auto Off after as Never.
    Click Apply and reboot the device, then check for any change.
    Now reboot the device and check for any chnage,

  • Apple TV3 dropping connection from iTunes...

    Hi there,
    I've read a lot of issues on the same thing but I wonder if anyone is having the same issue as me.
    Thinking it was a hardware problem I secured a replacement from the store but I'm having the same issue.
    I have a PC, Windows 8
    BT Infinity (with their home hub, I'm UK based)
    My Apple TV is wired directly to the hub (I have also adjusted the settings to give the Apple static IP addresses, I've also tried it with automatic IP)
    If I boot everything up from scratch the Apple TV will play both music and my movies (both my DVD rips and those purchased from iTunes store and downloaded to the PC).
    However, let's say when I've done the above I decide to watch a movie that is on the PC, it works and I can watch the full film or even a TV program.  Then I decide I want to watch another film after viewing that one, that's when I get the spinning wheel.  The Apple TV will recognise my iTunes library and display the movies but unless I watch something on the cloud I cannot view what's on my PC hard drive.  Then after a bit the Apple is telling me to turn on home sharing.  It already is on and my PC has no sleep settings activated, I turned them all off so unless I power down nothing will enter sleep mode or even powersave.
    I then have to reboot the PC and open iTunes again.
    Like I mentioned I've taken the first one back for an exchange, the same problem persists.  I've also been on the phone to Apple who advised to power everything down for 5 minutes then turn the router back on followed by the Apple then the PC.  That worked, so I then left it for 5 minutes and then the problem happened again when I decided to watch a film that I put on my PC hard drive.  It seems that I have to choose what I want to do quickly but it wont work with further requests after something is played. 
    I am using the inbuilt virus checker that comes with Win 8 (Elements I think it's called) and I use Windows Firewall.  I have tried creating a rule to allow iTunes to connect out on the firewall settings but this did nothing.  I've tired automatic IP addresses and now trying static ones but again, no joy.  Bonjour has been uninstalled, reinstalled, opened up connections in the firewall, basically everything I've read on this issue I've done.
    I read somewhere about turning off the Dolby Stereo, and yes, you guessed it, nothing corrected it.
    Has anyone had this problem exactly and any idea how to overcome it.  Apple have suggested a clean reinstall of my PC, so I tried it, wiped everything and started again.  Nothing, so I tried it on my laptop which has Windows 7 and it seems it's not localised to just one specific version of Windows.
    Getting a bit fed up now! 
    As a last ditch attempt I also checked the serial number to see if it was an old unit that needed to be replaced but it's not.  Oh, and I have also tried wireless and wired.  That didn't change anything.
    One interesting thing though, when looking at the settings for the BT Home Hub and looking at devices, when I know the Apple TV is connected it's showing as not connected.  It appears as though it is dropping connection after it has perhaps synced the whole film from the PC.  I can't think of a way to force it to stay connected.
    Any suggestions?

    UPDATE
    This is now resolved, not with the use of the Homehub though.
    After another conversation with Apple they asked me if the Youtube app on the TV works, which it does then there's a problem elsewhere!  Therefore Apple think there's an issue with the hub or the home network.  They also asked me to try something on the hub called Port Forwarding.  However, because that the hub isn't an Apple product they are not allowed to advise me on tinkering with the settings.  But did suggest to Google a website called port forwarding. 
    Having a look at that I tried what it suggested by connecting to the BT Homehub, you guessed it, that didn't work either.  I called BT who advised that their technical help team that would deal with this has been disbanded and the person I spoke to gave me the port forwarding suggestion on Google.
    At this stage I had had enough and after reading a few more bits of feedback I then looked at replacing the hub with something I could buy myself.  This led me to Amazon where I purchased the ASUS RT-N56U and a modem to go with it.  I ripped out the hub and linked the modem to the line in the wall and the router to the modem, I had to bridge the router to the modem and after that was done I set up the wireless.
    I'm now very pleased to say that it works, everything is syncing as it should do and the speeds of my downloads have also increased.  So far no issues at all.  I also have a constant connection to the PC and can view as many films as I want that are downloaded to the PC.  No lagging, no problems at all.
    Bit of an expensive solution but the modem and router I bought can also replace a Virgin one should I change suppliers in the future.
    If you follow this solution and are doing it the same with BT just Google the username for the hubs as it's the same for everyone, you can get that username from the hub if you connect to it but if you're like me and didn't think of that all the solutions you can google.  I used the CD's that came with the items and I had it all set up and running in 5 minutes.  If you do purchase the RT-N56U don't forget you need a modem, as that bit I forgot about and then had to order that via Amazon as well.
    That's really all you need!
