EA3500 Dropping connection/rebooting - Vlc issues etc

Hello Everyone,
I would like to thank everyone in advance for taking the time to help me.
My router is around 4 months old. I have a small-ish 3 bedroom home. I've been having some signal issues with the router since the beggining even when less than 10 feet away from the actual router. It happens on and off so I've kinda dealt with it.
Lately I've been trying to use VLC player's web based uploader for my ipad to upload videos. It did work a few times. I punched in the IP and voila videos would upload no problem however starting yesterday each time i drop a file the router drops all of the devices including the computer connected via ethernet cable and reboots itself with the green light blinking in the back. 
I am seriously helpless and wanna take a hammer to this piece of sh*t but I figured I'll try my luck with you guys. 
So far here's what I've tried
Reboot
Factory reset
changing channels and SSID names on both 2 and 5 GHz
restore firmware
run the cd etc etc
anyone have any idea whats next?

Ya I tend to agree Dave, 5Ghz can be used for just more than gaming however 5Ghz is best in line of site as building materials will effect it due to it being such a high frequency. Channels 1, 6, 11 are best for 2.4Ghz and 13 if you are in the europian regions since they have that channel there only. 5Ghz is good for media streaming too if set up well or general internet.
Most cable systems use 1500 MTU values. I recommend that the user contact the ISP and verify the correct MTU value. I believe once the ISP value and signal quality can be checked and verified, then the router should work well if set up well. Need to check surrounding environment for nieghbors... 
IMO, I've see odd issues with Arris modems and I persoanly will not use them if possible. I recommend using Motorola SB 6 series modems. Unfortunatly Arris bought the inernet modem division from Motorola. There still producing the SB 6 series modems though. The 6141 is avail at retail stores.

  • 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).

  • EA3500 dropping connection

    I recently bought a Linksys EA3500 and a new high-speed modem. My cable provider said I'm getting a strong signal to the modem. Every 20 minutes now, my wi-fi signal drops and I look at the router and the power light is blinking. I take the power cord out and plug it back in and the connection comes back then it drops again. I literally think i've been through every possible setting to change this and it keeps dropping. To add, my setup previous to this was with a Linksys wireless G router and it worked fine. Can anyone offer any suggestions? Thanks

  • Issue with AFP server dropping connections on 10.8.5 server 2.2.2

    We are having issues with users getting dropped from their AFP server shares.
    These issues did not start happening until we upgraded to 10.8.5 and server 2.2.2
    the first symptoms were an occasional user would lose his / her active connection while copying files. They were unable to disconnect from the network shares without physically disconnecting the LAN or disabling the network on their system. Once the connection was removed they could reconnect to the network and establish their AFP shares again.
    However this his escalated to every user losing connections to their AFP shares at the same time.
    The server has no AFP error in the AFP error log however we are getting diskutil crash reports at around the same time. (See Below)
    The server has
    smalltree 1x6 8254 with latest drivers supporting a LACP bonded 6 pair connecting to an edgecore (LACP configured)switch.
    small tree 10Gb card directly connected to an edit station.
    onboard ethernet connected to switch in support of DHCP & DNS. (previous version of server would not see the bonded pair)
    Two Accusys A12S2's
    (we did not have this dropping connection issue before the upgrade to server 2.2.2 and OSX 10.8.5)
    Users connected to any network connection to the server appear to be affected when the AFP shares are disconnected. Direcet connect, onboard ethernet port and Bonded pair connections)
    diskutil verifies all shared drives appear to be ok. (All Green)

  • Dropping Connection with My Two Networked XP SP2 Machines, Windows Update Issue???

    Sorry to interject a completely different problem here, but I have experienced the following.
    Blame me for the newb I am, but here is what I did after repeatedly losing conn and thinking that my modem was burned up after 2 years of use:
    1)  Attempted to buy a new DSL modem on Easter Sunday...good luck...
    2)  Went back home after not finding said modem to find connection working again
    3)  Wife did not use her desktop for 10 days due medical procedure (no connection problems)
    4)  Wife gets better, uses her networked computer, I start losing connection again.
    5)  Not realizing step 4, I call ATT dsl and am told, maybe you need a new filter on your DSL line.  DL speeds return to proper speeds, think I am fine.
    6)  Wife uses Outlook 18 hours later while I am on my networked machine, we both lose connection
    7)  After reconnecting all possible wires, realize maybe the problem is with the latest Windows Update Patch OR a router problem
    8)  Go to my trusty Best Buy contact at nearby store, named Jason, and ask Jason if he has heard anything like this in the last 6 weeks...He THANKED ME PROFUSELY as he and his brother were experiencing the SAME networking problem.  Jason removed the past 7 windows update patches and that removed the problem for him.
    He has since turned off Windows Updates.  Jason said that a couple of the update patches could not be uninstalled, but the 7 or so that could be uninstalled did the trick and he has not had dropped connections since.
    Anyone else experiencing this?  I talked to a cable modem user/friend and he has been experiencing similar problems but the Microsoft utility with his router allows him to double click to re-establish a connection, unlike me who has to power everything down, count to sixty, and power up.
    (I have not yet uninstalled the patches but wondering what others have seen)
    Thanks for the posts peeps!

    Hello,
    Is DEP enabled on the ThinkPad T30?  If so, does disabling it make any difference?

  • Mac OSX desktop dropping connection with multiple copy processes & large files

    The servers are 6.5 SP3 running NFAP, the MAC OSX is 10.4.2 updated. The
    volume the macs are using is part of a cluster. The users mount the volumes
    on their macs and everying is for the most part fine. If they grab a bunch
    of files and copy them from desktop to server it's fine as long as it's only
    a single copy process. The users are part of the hi-res department and the
    files can be 1GB or larger. If they drag one or more large files, and then
    while that's copying they drag some more files, so both copy processes are
    running at once....quite often the volume will dismount from the desktop and
    you will get unable to copy because some resource is unavailable. Sometimes
    the finder crashes, sometimes not. Often the files that were partially
    copied get locked and the users needs to reboot their Mac in order to delete
    them. I'm getting pretty desperate hear, anyone have an idea what's going
    on. I don't know if this is a Tiger thing or a large file thing or a
    multiple copy stream thing, a netware thing or a mac thing.....we have
    hundreds of other users running OSX 10.3 and earlier who are not reporting
    this problem, but they also don't copy files that size. Someone please tell
    me they have seen this before....thanks very much. Oh, before going to 6.5
    and NFAP the servers were 5.1 with Prosoft server and they never had the
    problem.
    Jake

    Thanks for your help, I have incidents open now with Apple and Novell, I
    hope one of them can provide something for us. We tried applying 6.5 SP4 to
    a test server....the problem still happened but was "better", the copy
    operations still quit but with SP4 applied the volume did not dismount....or
    if it did it remounted automatically because it was still connected after
    OKing through the copy errors.

  • SOLVED: Dropped connections with Time Capsule and cable modem/router

    I've been dealing with random dropped connections for quite a while and I thought that it would be useful to share what I've found.
    I was having a very puzzling problem where my internet connection would drop randomly on wireless devices. On my laptop, webpages would suddenly become unresponsive for a minute or two, Mail would have connection problems and complain, etc...but incredibly randomly and definitely not repeatable or in any pattern that I noticed.
    I also have 2 Nest thermostats in the house which connect via wi-fi. I noticed that they would randomly show Offline very often when viewed from a webpage or iPhone app, but the Nest front panels showed that they were connected with a strong signal.
    As I said, the dropped connections were very sporadic. Most of the time, everything worked, but every once in a while...bam.
    I worked with the level 3 tech support guys at Nest for over a week to figure out what was going on. We went through settings on my router and Time Capsule and everything seemed proper and okay. I even replaced the Nests with new ones but still had the same problem. We were all completely stumped.
    Yesterday, my laptop dropped it's connection at the same time my wife's laptop dropped hers. At this point, I wondered if something was wrong with the Time Capsule or maybe my internet provider.
    I called AppleCare to see if they could help with debugging the problem. They passed me up to a senior wi-fi tech and he asked me many questions about the configuration of my network. My home network looked like this yesterday (see crappy diagram below)
                                                         Motorola Cable modem/router
                                                                                 |
                                                           Netgear multiport switch
                                                          |          |         |         |          |
                                                         hardwired Macs,            TimeCapsule (bridge mode)
                                                         laser printers,                   |   |   |   |   |
                                                          Apple TVs                       laptops, Nest, iphones
    This configuration seemed correct to me. The Time Capsule in bridge mode would mean that the cable modem/router would be handling DHCP so all the devices would be on the same network and I could print from a laptop to one of my printers and the laptops could connect to the hardwired Macs, etc..
    The AppleCare technician said he thought that bridge mode was the problem. He mentioned that there was a known issue that in this configuration, the IP addresses could get lost between the cable modem/router and the Time Capsule. He said it would be best if the Time Capsule was in DHCP/NAT mode and the first device before the switch, this way the Time Capsule was the only device passing out IP addresses.
    So I repatched my network like this:
                                                       Motorola Cable modem/router
                                                                                 |
                                                       TimeCapsule (DHCP/NAT mode)
                                                                |                                       |   |   |   |   |
                                        Netgear multipart switch                      laptops, Nest, iphones
                                             |         |         |        |
                                               hardwired Macs,

    I can tell you that in the past 24 hours, I haven't seen anything lose a connection. Not even the Nests which seemed be on and off all the time. And, in this configuration, all the devices are on the same network and able to speak to each other.
    I hope that helps someone.

    So you're saying that Bridge Mode not functioning properly is a well known issue?
    Not to me.. I have not had issues with the TC in bridge. And it is my prefered setup. I think it is better as a wireless AP and network hard disk than a router any day of the week.. but there are other ways to skin the cat if it is proving unreliable. I am at the moment using a wireless bridge from the Gen4 TC to a Gen4 AE upstairs for TV internet streaming.. it started off very reliable.. but of late I guess I need to reboot it every few days. And it has required a full reset two or three times.. although I probably need to take some of the blame for those. I am not over worried.. i do not believe in wireless bridges except for the most interim of arrangements.. it will be wired in ethernet ASAP.
    Wireless should always be used in a way that respects its status as voodoo.. not stable technology. NOT SCIENCE.. it is more a bag of beads and rattles.
    Is there a way to change the cable modem/router to avoid the double NAT problem?
    The answer to this may depend on your ISP. Did they provide the modem? If so they may lock it down so you have no control. But normally a Motorola cable modem will not have a bridge mode as such but will have a method of turning off NAT.. (and wireless).. this amounts to the same thing.
    Once you turn off NAT.. you need to power cycle the modem so the TC gets the public IP in router mode. The power cycle time might be 5min or 20min or overnight.. it again depends on your ISP.. but you need to stop the modem capturing the public IP so it can be passed to the modem.
    Depending on where you are in the world.. US is most concentration of cable network.. you can go out and buy your own modem. Pick one on your ISP list and steer clear of SB.. at least with the apple routers they are problematic.
    It also can be a case that the cable modem is SB model and therefore more problematic. Sorry I have forgotten the recommendation for what to buy. There are a number of posts here about it but search is terrible now. (or I am too old to figure it out). I will get Bob to poke his nose in and tell you what works for him.

  • Linksys EA3500 dropping wired or wireless networks

    Device is less than 8 months old. I have a wireless TiVo receiver, two iPhones, an iPad, three laptops (Dell, HP, and Lenovo) all on wireless and two custom desktops (windows OS's) on the wired ports. I replaced a WRT54GS that worked fairly well (from time to time had to powercycle it, but less than once every other month). The EA3500 worked great at first, wireless connections were strong, everything seemed faster, etc. Then about two months ago I started noticing the network would drop off for a second and come back. This would happen on wireless devices and on the wired desktops. It was random but always came back up within 30 seconds. However, it has continually gotten worse. Today I have had almost no uptime on the network and my wired systems continually are trying to resolve the network name. (Network disappears, then you sees it try to establish a connection and it drops off again immediately). It is definately the device as I cannot even get to the management console on the device. In frustration I tried to factory reset the device and just start over, but it continues to drop connections.
    So, am I just hosed and this device is junk, or does anyone have a suggestion I can try? Really upset that I spent $100 on a device that hasn't even made it a year.
    Thanks in advance.

    I have experienced the same issue before and what I did was I upgraded the firmware into the latest one. You can refer to this link for the download: http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=e9c2361ee7974d75913e61386a712188_4030.xml&pid=80&r... . After downloading the firmware, you can now access the router setup page by typing “myrouter.local” on the address bar and you can just accessed the router locally and type “admin” for default password or your own password (if you already changed it).  After I upgraded the router I unplugged the power cord of the router for about ten secs. and plugged back in.  I also made sure that the wireless settings for both 2.4ghz and the 5ghz has a different name and it has a specific channels. And that resolved my issue.  

  • 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).

  • 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!

  • Ipad2 dropping connection with WPA2

    I recently changed my FIOS connection to WPA2, and my Ipad 2 keeps dropping connection after a few min of play.  I have no issues with my Ipad 1, Iphone, and Itouch connecting to it. It seems to only happen with the Ipad2.  My wireless is set up with WPA2 AES encryption using the standard FIOS router.  It is not a distance from router issue either.  I have been right next to the router with all the devices and still only have the issue with the Ipad2.  I restarted the router, deleted the connection and reconnected to the router also. 

    IPad dropping WiFi every few seconds after updating iOs to version 5.x
    I have the same problem with my iPad 2. It was working fine when my iOS was v.4.3.3. After updating the iOs to version 5.0.1, I kept dropping my WiFi &amp; Internet signal. I am using WPA2, and my SSID is OFF (does not broadcast). 
    To solve the problem, I updated iOs to v5.1. Same problem occurred. I tried using the OpenDNS as suggested.. Did not work too. WiFi stays on for 5-10 seconds before saying signal was lost. Tried to log on again - iPad replied that I cannot join the network. Tried soft &amp; hard reset, forgetting network settings, resetting all network Setting, etc - still nothing works.
    Finally, out of frustration, I turned ON my router's SSID (broadcasting openly). Guess what? My iPad WiFi is working perfectly without any dropped connection. 
    Please try this quick solution. It may just fix your problems. I realized that this solution may be effective for some iPad users out there.  But there is a chance it may not work with others (I tried almost all suggestions in other forums - ranging from updating the wireless router firmware, using an OpenDNS, doing a soft &amp; hard reset of the iPad, etc. Still, nothing worked for my iPad - except this simple SSID setting). Hopefully, this additional solution might help someone. Good luck :-)

  • RE4000W Drops Connection

    I recently purchased a RE4000W and managed to get it up and running and the speeds are really nice, when it keeps a connection.  It seems that every 30ish minutes it will drop connection to my router and automatically reconnect.  Now, this is not an issue while I am surfing the web or even when I stream a movie (buffer prevents a drop).  The problem is when I am gaming and the connection drops, so does my gaming session.
    Here is how I have it setup.
    Static IP address on the extender and also assigned on the router via the mac address.
    CAT5 cable, or wireless, to the computer (still drops connection).
    It is using channel 11 and the router is on AUTO for a channel.
    There are no major obstacles between the RE4000W and the router (e.g. washer/dryer...etc)
    Here is what I have attempted to fix this problem.
    Updated the firmware
    Have tried using CAT5 connection or Wireless
    Moved the extender to various locations
    DHCP or Static IP Address
    Factory reset (many times)
    Restarted the router and RE4000W many times to let them synch up
    Has anyone else seen this problem? 
    Additionally, I have two other repeaters/bridges in other locations of the house with static ip addresses and they work perfectly.  They are older Linksys routers that I converted into a bridge / repeater to help with dead wireless spots.
    Thanks in advance for all the advice / help.

    What I finally did was relocate the RE4000W into my kids bedroom w/o it being connected to a CAT5 cable.  So far this seems to work. The problem *could* have been that my RE4000W and router were too close to each other and therefore fighting each other for 2.4 WIFI signal.  Now, the RE4000W is further away from the router, not physically connected to a computer and all is well.
    I have placed an order for a 1900AC router and it should be here next week.  This router install just might make the RE4000W obsolete.
