Facebook issues with WRT160N

I recently just bought a new router WRT160N, I just discovered that my facebook is acting very strange, it doesnt show my message inbox,while clicking log out on facebook it directs me to my privicy setting page.
I have updated to the new firmware. but still the problem is there, i even tried out from a friend's place from a different router but it worked all fine. I guess there is an issue or some settings has to be changed within the router ...
Some sites work fine, others dont..im even facing connection related problem in windows update !

Connection type: pppoe
Service: Etisalat (United Arab Emirates)

Does this happen to all the computers? Try lowering the MTU setting on the setup page and set it to Manual 1500. Save it then try again.

IPad Facebook issues with Safari

Upgraded our iPad2 to 5.0.1 and when we now access Facebook via Safari, the video in Facebook now loads over the text.
According to a Genius Bar guy at our local Apple store, this is a Facebook issue. I don't want to use the new Facebook app as it's still quite buggy.
Any suggestions for accessing Facebook with Safari?
Thanks.

This is all on Facebook's code. There is nothing you can do from the iPad other than to contact Facebook support and tell them about it.
I use the Facebook app frequently and I don't find that it's that buggy. It's not perfect by any means, but it's OK. But I generally do prefer the web version.

Many issues with WRT160N v3 (Windows 7 related?)

Ok so here's the story.
Several months ago I purchased a WRT160N v2. I was connecting four devices. 1 XP machine, 1 Vista machine, 1 PS3, and 1 Xbox 360.
The XP machine is using Wireless-N PCI Adapter model no. WMP300N. The Vista machine is using a Wireless-N USB Network Adapter with Dual-Band, model no. WUSB600N
The process was fairly straight forward and I was successful in getting everything set up correctly. It worked great for the most part barring any unexpected wireless crashes.
A few weeks ago I accidentally bricked the router when trying to upgrade the firmware. It was my mistake and I should have been thinking but it happened. I was able to get a replacement from Linksys and I received the WRT160N v3
Sadly this router hasn't provided me with the same easy of installation.
Right now the situation is a little different than before. I am running a Windows 7 machine right now. It's up to date and working great. I haven't noticed any issues with the OS other than some random driver issues here and there.
I first attempted to just plug the router into my modem to see if my Windows 7 machine would automatically see it and connect. To my surprise it actually did. It connected and I was able to get online.
But here's the problem, my speed when connected was horrible. It would range anywhere from 75-1Mbps. For comparison, when on Windows XP I would get a locked 130Mbps. In addition to that, the LAN connection will not work. At all. It see's the connect, it shows it's connected and online. Then when I attempt to get online it fails and knocks me back to local access only.
I then attempted to set up the connection using the included disc for v3. This was problematic due to compatibility issues I assume. It didn't fair any better.
The final thing I did was plug my computer directly to the router without connection to the internet and disconnected from the Wireless and attempted to upgrade the firmware. THIS PROCESS WAS SUCCESSFUL. It did not fail and brick the router. I did it correctly this time. To repeat, this did not brick the router.
Ok, so I guessed it was due to Windows 7? I called Linksys up and they said they were unable to support the unreleased beta OS. I'm fine with that.
Next I decided to see if I could get my Vista machine online. With this I decided to run through the setup process that comes with router. I followed the steps to the T. Doing exactly what they told me to do. When it finished it showed it did have connection to the Internet. When the Linksys Easy Link Advisor started up and attempted to get me on wireless, it failed. It shows it lost connection and was unable to regain connection. Attempting to statically assign myself an IP address fails as well.
Using the LANA port with this router on the Vista machine works perfectly.
Right now I'm falling back to a very very old router. It's a Linksys Network Everywhere NR041 wired router. This router works rock solid with my Vista, Windows 7, PS3, and 360 all plugged in and only has some minor overheating issues (common with this model).
My questions:
Does the WRT160N v3 have issues with Windows 7?
Why exactly am I have so many issues with it at all?
Are there issues with my wireless card and Windows 7?
Would the compatibility issues cause the LAN connections to fail between the router and my Windows 7 machine?
Is there a better router solution for me?
I would prefer to not have to revert back to Windows XP as I am enjoying Windows 7.
I would appreciate any help I can get as I'm fairly unhappy with these two products so far.
Thank you.

There is a compatibilty issue with the Wireless Adapter and Windows 7 as it seems there are no specific Windows 7 Drivers to install the adapter...So basically that could be the reason why Windows 7 keeps loosing the Wireless Connection...
Also remember to reset the router to factory defaults after any firmware upgrade, then setup the router again from scratch. If you have not done this since your last firmware upgrade, please do this now and see if it corrects your problem. If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.
To reset the router press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...
Don't use the CD to re-configure the router, instead do a manual setup...
If your Internet Service Providor is Cable follow this link
If your Internet Service Providor is DSL follow this link
Also adjust the Wireless Settings on your Router -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...
Leave username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab
- Here select manual configuration...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
- Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
- Set the Radio Band to Standard-20MHz and change the Standard channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
For Wireless Security : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WPA, For Encryption, select AES...For Passphrase input your desired WPA Key. For example , MySecretKey , This will serve as your network key whenever you connect to your wireless network. Do NOT give this key to anyone and remember the key.
NOTE : Passphrase should be more that 8 characters...
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

Facebook issue with Titanium Powerbook

Hi, I bought a Titanium model powerbook as a spare and it works fine apart from when I use facebook the display seems all the way to the left ( all the pics and writing are on the left of the page with the other two thirds plain )
All other websites seem to work fine just facebook being a problem
When I check it the software appears to be up to date ( OS X 10.3.9 ) is this Panther ?
Any thoughts ??

thanks Carolyn; I have the same problem with my old G4/400 that runs OSX 1.3.9 with Safari version 1.3.2. Just wanted the original poster to know that he's not the only one with the issue. I guess it's time we upgraded these older Macs to a newer OS.
I looked at Safari Help\Installed Plug-Ins and found a couple of items listed twice. I looked in the Internet Plug-ins folder in the Library Folder (not the user library, the one above it) where all the plug-ins reside, and there were a lot of plug-in files and plug-in folders in there. It wasn't clear for example why the quicktime plugin details were listed twice (with two different quicktime plugin items in the Plug-ins Folder) and also why there is a Java Applet Plugin as well as a JavaPluginCocoa.bundle. We users havent' a clue whether we've somehow got duplicated items in there, that might be interacting adversely. I guess for most of us the sad answer is to do a brute force upgrade to a new OS and hope everything works after many hours of upgrading ****, resolving program incompatibilities and upgrades, etc.
I'll submit a bug report to Facebook but not sure it will do much good. However, one has to wonder why facebook seems to be the 'only' web page showing this glitch since their site is so dependent on networking and getting as many people as possible using facebook. Theirs is the last kind of web site that should be using non-backward-compatible software technologies. Their programmers may be kind of shooting themselves in the foot.

Wireless Disconnection issue with WRT160N v3

Hi Everyone,
I'm having trouble with my new WRT160N v3 router.
It's currently updated with firmware Ver.3.0.02 Build 3.
My setup is as follows:
Wired connection: 2-Desktop Computers & 1-Xbox 360.
Wireless connection: 1-Laptop, 1-Xbox 360, 1-Platstation 3, 1-PSP & 1-Wii.
The issue is that EVERYTHING connected wirelessly disconnects after a short period of time in use, whether I'm doing work on my laptop or gaming (and all my consoles are connected wirelessly) - everything disconnects.
Another thing is that there always seems to be a loss in reception and the router is just in the other room (approx. 10 meters away).
I sat and I configured the router's wireless settings over and over again with all kinds of settings, but it just doesn't seem to help.
What is going on with this router? it's very problematic because a lot of people are complaing about the same issue.
I especially went out to buy a new router and ended up buying this sad router that really gets a person upset.
It's really frustrating being in the middle of a multiplayer game when you get disconnect because of a router that can't even keep it's wireless connectivity up, and this issue happens on every single piece of hardware I have that connects wirelessly.
Has anybody got any suggestions regarding this issue or some or other wat to solve it?
Thanks for all the help!

Try to readjust the Wireless settings on the router...
Open the linksys setup page by typing 192.168.1.1 in the address bar.Reduce the MTU size to 1365 and click on save settings. Now,Click on Wireless tab and change the Channel Width to 20GHz only and Channel to 11.Click on subtab Advanced Wireless Settings...Change the Beacon Interval to 75,Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,RTS Threshold to 2307 >>Click on Save Settings.

Facebook issue with Flash Player

Connectivity issues with WRT160N

We have the WRT160N (Im guessing its the first version since there is no number beside it) for a little while now, and untill a few days ago, it worked just fine!
The router started to drop the internet connection all the time and this required me to do a power cycle to get it back working, I done another powercylce and when it came back on the network was working but the internet was.
We got 1 pc near the Modem, so we connected that pc to the modem and he got internet immediatly!
Then we plugged the modem to the router again, and the beautiful blue light on the " internet logo" on the router went on and everything looked fine again.
Unfortunatly it wasn't. The internet was still not back! only local network available on all pc's!
So in short:
After the reset file sharing between the computers and all the other network function work great. The problem is that it seems like the router for some reason blocks off the interent, and doesn't allow the computers to access the internet
I have tried reconfiguring the router and I have it currenty running on firmware 1.02.2
Thanks for everyone's help!

TS1702 Is anyone else having issues with the most recent Facebook update? I updated it yesterday and now it won't open. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but it still fails to open! Any suggestions?

Is anyone else having issues with the most recent Facebook app update? I updated it on my iPad 2 yesterday, now it will not open app at all. I have restarted iPad, uninstalled app and reinstalled, several times and still it will not work! Any suggestions? I have also closed the append still no results!

I just started having this yesterday. It's only happened twice, but it's annoying. My wife texted me that she was coming home last night, and it showed up immediately on my iPod Touch but not my iPhone. I opened my iPhone and it soon updated. Worked fine after that. Then just a moment ago today my wife texted me and the same thing happened. I heard my iMac and iPod Touch receive the message but it didn't display on my phone until I opened the phone and it showed up again a little bit thereafter. I suppose I'll send Apple some feedback on this issue.

Photo upload issue with Facebook

Am having a problem uploading photos to FaceBook via Lightroom's publish interface. It shows as authorized (which was a problem in itself for a while), but I get a generic "Photo Upload Failed" error from LR4. In addition, JPEGs exported from LR4 will not upload via FaceBook's own interface. This is all new since upgrading to LR4. Windows 7. While it looks like a FaceBook issue, it started with LR4 installation and no one else seems to be having a problem uploading images to FB via Lightroom or otherwise.

Day 3 of this issue and still no repsonse from Blackberry. I guess we found out who Blackberry really cares about. March 2013 - you will be losing me as a Blackberry user.

HT1349 Has anyone had issues with the iphone 4s and facebook.

Has anyone had issues with the iphone 4s and facebook. I have downloaded the app and sometimes it will let me log in and then it will log me out and not let me back in. I have deleted and downloaded it several times and nothing is working. HELP!

@razmee: rather unhelpful.
@tata - we're having the same trouble, and the only solution we've found doesn't fix it.
1) uninstall
2) login on PC/MAC and change password
3) reboot iphone
4) install facebook app, reboot again
5) login from iphone.
No joy.
Safari works, but not for the apps.
Of course, it's Facebook that has to fix this.

Issue with facebook information being added to contacts?

Hello,
On my z10 when I set it up, I set up a facebook account as well, and it added facebook account information to some of my contacts (most of which were added though gmail CardDav).
I tried deleting the account and readding it to see if I could get facebook information with ALL of my accounts (so I could respond to messages through hub).
Now it's not showing any facebook information.
Help please.

Hey kndarlow413,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
Open Contacts and swipe from the top and go into settings. Is Facebook showing as On? Also is there a checkmark for use cloud services at the bottom?
Also what version of BlackBerry 10 are you using? Go to Settings>About to find this information.
I look forward to your reply.
Cheers.

Issues with Facebook (Mobile Site)

I'm having issues with the Facebook App. I have the Blackberry 3G (9330) thru Sprint and I updated my Blackberry Software from 5.0 to 6.0. Since then, the Facebook (Mobile site) will allow me to type of up to around 20 characters when submitting my status or sending an email. Once it I type around 20 characters, the screen freezes and then it boots me out of the FB (Mobile site) and goes to the Bookmark page. I reinstalled that App thinking it may have not installed properly and may have affected the Facebook Mobile site but I'm still having the same problem. However, when I use the Facebook App, I'm able to update my status and send email using more than the 20 characters that's allowed in the Facebook (Mobile site). Is there something I can do to have this corrected? I like the mobile site better because I can see my friend's birthdays on the main page and it offers more options than the FB App.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

After playing around with the settings, I found that if you have the "Assistive Input by Keyboard" under Options/Typing set to Predictive, it will interfere with any data that is keyed into the Facebook browser and cause it to freeze. I changed the setting to direct instead of Predictive and this resolved the issue. Thanks for your help!
