EA6500 worst experience - stay away from this router

Hi Everyone,
EA64500 is worst, stay away from this router, since last 2 days I spend more than 4 hours with Linksys support and it is useless ans wastage of time.
I am going to return this junk to Costco. It works for 2 months only after spending hundreds of dollars. It sounds rosy but the product is crep.
Check out real problem at following link

There are many reasons why a connection could be intermittent. It might be because the connection to the ISP is unstable, to much wireless traffic, frequency interference from other wireless devices, physical obstructions or corrupted router firmware.
The location where your wireless router and computer are placed affects the performance of your wireless network. To boost the wireless signal, it is ideal to place the wireless router either in the central part of your house or in a location free from any obstructions that may block its range. The frequency used by your router’s wireless network can be set to 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, or Mixed. Interference happens if there is conflict with some wireless devices that are also using the same frequency within your network. The most common examples of devices that use the same frequency are cordless phones, microwave ovens, and baby monitors. Another factor that could cause interference would be a separate wireless network which operates in the same frequency as your routers.
If all computers connected to the router are experiencing intermittent connections, it would be best to observe the connection straight from the modem. Observe it for 24 hours and if there are no issues then best to upgrade the router’s firmware.

Sisoftware Sandra: Is there a reason to stay away from this software?

I have not noticed Sisoftware Sandra recommended by folks on this website.
Is there a reason I should stay away from Sandra?

I suppose, there is no real reason to stay away from it. The point is, I believe, that it is in general not as popular as (let's say) tool like Everest/Aida, HW Monitor, CPU-Z, GPU-Z, Core Temp, Real Temp and the like.

How do I stop "Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page? Press OK to continue, or Cancel to stay on the current page." from comeing up. It is new. Just started doing it yesterday morning.

I have used FireFox to play the Game Kingdoms Of Camelot, a facebook game. I also have Grease Monkey and a 3rd party add on. I leave it running 24/7 to gather food in the game for my army. It has run smoothly for 6 mo. Yesterday 2/04/11 in the morning it started asking for conformation when the page refreshed. i want to know how to stop this Box from comeing up it will not continue without refreshing and will not refresh untill th question is answered. It says "Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page? Press OK to continue, or Cancel to stay on the current page."

You're not going to stop it, and out here, what's illegal?
What it boils down to is a matter of ethics, and it's wrong. But the web
techies build this feature into their sites because they know somebody
is going to fly in off an engine like Google or MSN. And take something,
like a picture. Without stopping in and signing up or something else.
But what if I or you is out collecting stamps or avatars or wallpapers,
and have already taken a quiz, or signed up for a product? I've already
done that...but the site developers who use this ingenious(hijacking)
software don't see it that way, and don't care if you just got a computer
and want to pick up something here or there. Those sites don't get
anything when you visit and don't leave your number. I don't what
these 19 tracking cookies are for, do you?

Are there any other wireless devices that might cause interference?
Also are there any nearby Wi-Fi networks that might have the same name as yours? It amazing how many Linksys Wi-Fi networks are out there.

WRT54G Very Slow connection speeds away from the router

I have installed my router in the living room. The connection speed is perfect in the living and dinning area , as we move away from the router to the inner rooms (bedrooms) the signal strength remains fine (very good) but slowly the internet speed drops untill it stops. The signal strenght still shows as very good. Doing a "repair" - switch off and "switch on" - on the laptops wirelss adapter brings back the connection speed for a while before it falls off again.
Any suggestions for this prob please!!!

Make sure that the firmware on the router is up to date. If not then download the Firmware from the Linksys web site. Connect the computer to the router with the Ethernet cable. Open the setup page of the router. Got o Administration tab and click on firmware upgrade sub tab. Upgrade the latest firmware on the router.
After upgrading the firmware, it is recommended that you should reset the router and reconfigure the router.

every time i want to go to another page a pop up comes up with 'do you want to navigate away from this page'.

Are you a Veteran? Stay away from Verizon!

If you are veteran hoping to get a 15% discount from Verizon then stay the heck away. You won't get it. Go with AT&T who will give it to you. I'm regretting switching over.
Went into official Verizon store with DD214 in hand. Verizon agent scanned document, assured me I would get the 15% discount on my plan immediately. I actually asked two more times just to be sure. She assured me each time. Verizon site says I am verified.
First bill came, no discount. I called Verizon and they said it can take 30 days. Upset me a bit but I waited.
Second bill came, no discount. Chatted with a Verizon representative who said my plan is not eligible. I checked my plan details. Nothing written there about it being in-eligible. Checked the Veteran Discount FAQ and it specifically states: Note: some plans and features are not eligible for discounts and that limitation will be called out in the plan details. However, my plan details say nothing of the sort. The agent could not give me the discount and just kept repeating that my plan was not eligible for the discount.
So even though I was promised the discount from a Verizon Wireless Agent at an official store and my plan does not say anything about me being in-eligible, Verizon has refused to give me the discount due to very arbitrary wording. They even have a link that is suppose to show you in-eligible plans but it does not work. The representative told me that they change the eligible plans all the time. So even if I got the discount they would probably just change the eligibility in the future.
I was about to recommend a few other veterans to move over to Verizon but now I am telling them to go somewhere else. I should inform the local Department of Veteran Affairs here so they can properly inform any veteran that might call in and ask.
Verizon should be pretty ashamed of themselves.
My Plan: Single Line $60 - 2GB

I Totally AGREE...STAY AWAY FROM VERIZON!! Work for Fed Govt, DoD....according to Verizon's rules, Qualified for the Employee Discount....NOT.....Previously worked for Kroger...applied for the employee discount as a Kroger Employee and the discount never showed up on the billing....Customer service WAS NO HELP....signed up with a Verizon Rep at one of their stores.....Go Figure...Now signed up for employee discount (GOVT) over the net. Said was eligible...After signed up called to verify the discount..Rep said , Oh, you're not qualified?????? I hope that you get your issue resolved. You would think that being you are ACTIVE DUTY...and....service our wonderful COUNTRY (US) that Verizon would even be more helpful and courteous to you, as an Active Duty Service person!!! GOOD LUCK TO YOU...AS FOR ME....As soon as my contract is up, AUG 14, 2011 ( I Can't WAIT)...I'm changing over to SPRINT....Several co-workers use SPRINT...love the service and told me that there are NO HASSELS about giving the US GOVT EMPLOYEE DISCOUNT....{please keep your posts courteous}....SPRINT ROCKS!!
Signed...Disgruntled customer

I keep getting a Message saying do you want to navagate away from this page. How do I turn that off.

When I am using facebook, Every thing I click on I get a pop up message asking if I want to navagate away from this page.. yes or cancel. This is very annoying. How do I turn off this message?

Yes, this pop-up window in facebook is getting extremely annoying and most times after clicking on Ok, it will take me to a page totally opposite to where I wanted to go.
When I chat on the Scrabble Discussion Board I have to click Ok constantly with each post even though I am not navigating away from that page but merely replying to a post on the same original page.
It is not present on Chrome or IE 8, just on firefox, why?
Please remove, fix, or tell me how to disable this totally useless pop-up.

Stay away from BT - my personal experience

Hi,
My name is Rubens Kubiak, joined BT on 22nd March. So far, BT has been the worst ISP I've ever seen - by far.
I placed the order through phone.... decided about the broadband package and landline calling plan, perfect.
A few days later, I called BT to inform that the starter package should be delivered in my office, as I would be away from home (where the broadband would be installed). I received a phone call and an email confirming the change, and the package would be delivered then to my office address.
What a surprise? Nothing arrived in my office. They tried to deliver it.... at my home. Unbelievable, with all the planning beforehand, phone calls and e-mails and confirmations. A really bad start.
I just managed to get the package in the Post Office by saturday (23rd). Installed and everything was working fine.... for about one hour. Then... got disconnected. About three minutes, no internet. Then, since 23rd March, every single day I got disconnected about 10 times a day. It lasts about 2 or 3 minutes, but is really annoying for a service that is not cheap and should work smoothly. Now the best part. Try to call BT. Try to reach the technical support. IT IS A JOKE. During the day, takes about 30 minutes (if you're veeery lucky) to speak to a human being. Today I waited 1h40min.... with no answer at all.
Well.... P2P connections (torrent, etc) are also highly controlled by BT, and is practically impossible to download a file. The speeds are really low. Fine, I agree with the policy, so everybody can have a good connection. But nobody tells you that when you're purchasing the broadband via phone. Even when you tell the operator that you want a complete and unlimited package because you download too much. They should have been decent and tell the facts straight away! They should have explained me that.... don't you think BT?
Now, speaking with the tech support.... they told me that's normal during the first two weeks or twenty days the connection being unstable..... it's a period of stabilisation. Period of stabilization? When purchasing the package through phone, nobody ever alerted me about this facts. They told me now, that I'm facing the problem. Not good, BT.
Now they told me to wait until 5th or 6th of April to see if the problem is solved. What is that? I'm paying for a product...... that nobody told me would be unstable for a while..... and why on earth should I be patient?
I hate things like this..... loads of excuses.
I purchased a product, and I'm not happy at all...... delivery was a joke, the seller hid important facts about the service, and now the best part: trying to explain I'm not happy at all, and want to cancel the whole stuff. I've been a customer for 5 days..... and just want to ship the equipment back, pay for the month I've used and forget about BT.
But..... mo make me feeling like a clown, BT wants to charge me THREE HUNDRED SIXTY SOMETHING for cancelling the service.... as contract cancellation fee.
C'mon BT. You guys should be ashamed! Anyway.... BT is not authorized anymore in my bank account. I'll pay for the installation, for the service I've used.... but I'm not going to pay any kind of cancellation charge.
It's been less than a week I'm a customer..... and already a unhappy one. I just want to forget BT and go for another ISP.
Well... that's my personal experience, and my personal thoughts....sorry about being rude sometimes.... but BT is driving me crazy here!
I'm moving away from BT by the end of the month, maximum....... anyone experiencing the same problem????

Hi rubenskc
I can understand that you are annoyed about the delivery and if you didnt know about the stabiisation period.
The stabilisation period really should have been explained on the call, but as others have posted, its an important part of activation in order to get the best speed from your line.
Best to leave the hub alone to do its thing and dont be tempted to reset. Have you noticed any improvements since it was activated?
Thx
Craig

My iPad 4 needs to be right beside my router to get 3 bars. When I walk 15 feet away from my router, I get 1 bar with terrible download and upload speed.

I get no connection from being away 20 feet from the router, my iPod 5 gets 2 straight bars but my iPad 4 gets no connection and it:s right beside my iPod 5 too. what the ****??! I got a iPad 4 running iOS 7.0.4. I charged it and it"s acting wonky. I reset network settings and that didn't work at all. any other ways Apple nerds?

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at
http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
