Fixed WRT54GS V6 - Intenet drops problem/router stoped responding

The important parts:
Windows XP SP2
WRT54GS V6
Motarola Cable router.
So after 3 days on the phone with Tech Support and 2 senior advisor's, they officialy gave up... or they say they will get back to me
Heres the problem:
Everything was working fine until one day one day the internet connection on my WRT54G v2 decided to stop working, after trying everything i could, and connecting directly to the modem, i concluded it must be the router, and after owning it for 3 years, went out to by a new one, WRT54GS.
Take it home, open it up, same problems... Internet works for about 30 seconds, then drops again for good. I can restart/reset the router, again it will last for about 30 seconds then drop again. The router itself after these 30 seconds cannot be pinged or connected too.
Tech support says to return it and get a new one, maybe it was defected....i did, now router #3 same problem, keep in mind that the network still works, just the internet dosnt. I upgraded the firmware with tech support on the phone, tried just about every troubleshooting technique they could possibly try,(Power cycle, pinging, renewing, upgrading firmware, changing ip, changing to half duplex...)you name it iv tried it and still no internet, btw, im connected via wire to the router, wireless experiance same problems with other computers.
So im kinda hopeing someone had same problem? Any idea's will help. please god! Thank youMessage Edited by helfandeli on 01-18-200712:02 AM

Try resetting the router to factory defaults, using the procedure below. Hopefully this will get you access to the router so you can update your router settings.
1)  Power down all computers, the router, and the modem, and unplug them from the wall.
2) Disconnect all wires from the router.
3) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
4)  Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release it, then let the router reset and reboot (2-3 minutes).
5) Power down the router.
6) Connect one computer by wire to port 1 on the router (NOT to the internet port).
7) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
8) Power up the computer (if the computer has a wireless card, make sure it is off).
9) Try to ping the router. To do this, click the "Start" button, click on "Run". In the box that is labeled "Open:", enter the following: "ping 192.168.1.1" (no quotes). A black box will appear. You will see 3 or 4 lines that start either with "Reply from ... " or "Request timed out."   If you see "Reply from ...", your computer has found your router.
10) Open your browser and point it to 192.168.1.1. This will take you to your router's login page. Leave the user name blank, then in the password field, enter "admin" (with no quotes). This will take you to your router setup page. Note the version number of your firmware (usually listed near upper right corner of screen). Exit your browser.
If you get this far without problems, try the setup disk, and see if you can get your router set up and working. When you get to the password prompt in setup, be sure to leave the user name blank.
If you have a problem, note the exact error message and the status of the lights on the router, and report back.
Hope this helps.

Has any one found a fix for the iOS 5 WI FI dropping problem?

I own an iPhone 4 and when I upgraded to iOS 5.1.1 it began dropping the WI FI connection randomly, usually after only a few minutes of inactivity. The only solution is to re-start my router and it works fine for a while then drops the connection. I am certain the problem is not with the iPhone hardware. It must be a bug in iOS 5.1.1.
I have been an apple user since the beginning and I have owned just about every model of Mac, I hope Apple will address this issue soon, as I can not imagine any way end users can fix the problem. For the record; my iPhone is factory fresh and not hacked in any way.
Thank you in advance for any assistance...

I'm not aware of any wifi drop problem, which leads me to believe that your router is the problem (or your wifi carrier). Have you had problems using wifi at a public location, like a coffee shop or any store that provides free wifi?

10.5.2 failed to fix wireless connection dropping problem

10.5.2 did not fix wireless connection dropping problem. I lose wireless connection whenever my MBP restarts or wake up from sleep in the building where I am and have to retype password about 10 times a day. I had not had this problem when I used Tiger. Everyone who has upgraded to Leopard or has it installed on their Mac is experiencing the same problem. Is there any solution or trick to resolve this problem? Thank you.

Amularya,
Please read the post I made in this thread earlier. No less than a dozen solutions are offered in the link I provided for wireless issues. Troubleshooting wireless issues requires individual attention because of the plethora of issues which can't be tested for. So please start a new topic thread here:
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1225&start=0
So you can get a wider audience, and won't confuse the original poster with solutions that don't apply to them.
There literally hundreds of different WiFi adapters.
Dozens of different virus and firewall combinations.
Possibilities for damaged WiFi cards and routers, as well as routers whose firmware is not to spec with the latest wireless standard.
To top it off, bad RAM, hard disk being too full, and bad preference, cache or or logfiles can make various aspects of the operating system misbehave, and/or even the directory leading to those files.
Until each person starts their own thread looking for solution individually, chances are they won't find one. Yes, 10.5.2 addresses WiFi for some people. Obviously it doesn't for everyone. The point is, there are some people, like myself who have never had a WiFi issue either with Intel or PowerPC Macs that they couldn't resolve without a little bit of troubleshooting. I'm happy to help you walk through it, but only if you start your own thread asking for help.

Fix an AIR drag and drop problem.
QE: YES

Reviewer: pfarland

Modified Paths:

Update 2, if it can help someone:
Finally I don't manage the drag and drop by myself using
DragManager.doDrag(...). Why? Because doing so if the user clicks
on the scrollbars, on the datagrid header or on an empty row, it
triggers the drag start and that is ugly. By letting Flex managing
the drag and drop process, this doesn't append. BUT I was unable to
use a custom proxy image then. Until I found this article:
http://www.dgrigg.com/post.cfm/11/03/2006/DataGrid-Drag-Image
The trick is:
1) save the mouseX and mouseY using the mousedown event.
2) override dragImage(), as the article says, to create your
custom proxy, attaching to it a FlexEvent.UPDATE_COMPLETE event,
saving it to a class variable and returning it.
3) When you receive the FlexEvent.UPDATE_COMPLETE event, you
update the proxy position (that is saved in a class variable) using
the saved mouseX and mouseY and you remove the listener to the
event:
When you drop the proxy, you access the dragged items in :
event.dragSource.dataForFormat("items")
Hope this helps, I spent lot of time trying to resolve this
issue! Now it works perfectly! :-)

WRT54G as AP causing dlink router to restart

I am trying to use a WRT54Gv5 as just and access point. To do this I have it connected to my main router over the lan connection of the WRT54G (to the lan on the dlink of coarse) and have DHCP turned off on the WRT54G, so that the dlink router handles that. It all seems to be working properly, with wireless devices being correctly assigned ips by the main router and successfully accessing the internet. However I have two problems. The first one is whenever the WRT54G is running the dlink router restarts every few minutes. I have checked and this does not happen when the WRT54G is disconnected or powered down. For the time being I have it powered down so no wireless network currently. This is the main problem I would like fixed. The second problem is that I cannot access wireless devices from the LAN when the wireless is running.

If you are facing inetmitten problem with the linksys router, first thing which you can do is Upgrade the firmware of your router,and this will solve your problem. Go to website linksysbycisco.com/downloads.........insert model no of your router in serach tab......select proper version of your router........download the firmware file......save that file on desktop.Once you downloaded the firmware of your router, Disconnect your D-Link router from Linksys router, and let your computer be connected to Linksys 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.
Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the username blank & in password use admin in lower case...Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful" After the firmware upgrade, click on
"Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".Now reset your 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...

[WRT54G] Random connection drops on hardwired computer but not wireless connections

I bought a WRT54G, it's a version 6 if that matters, using the latest Linksys firmware.
The WRT54G is connected to my main desktop and DSL modem, dynamic IP and PPPoE. I set the router with a static IP, there's WPA2 going as well.
I have a notebook and another desktop computer connected wirelessly.
The issue is that my main computer will seem to lose its Internet connection randomly for 15 minutes and then come back by itself.
The problem is hard to describe but I'll try:
Let's say everything is working fine, I go on www.someforum.com/forums and browse around then I go to www.bestbuy.com and click a few links.
Then the issue starts, I get a "Cannot find server" to sites I haven't visited yet in this session like Google or eBay. I can't ping them either. However, if I go to Best Buy or here, it still works fine. I can still browse the forums. So, it seems like somehow, if the connection is "cached," everything still works but I can't make new connections.
Also, during that 15 minutes when my hardwired desktop has the problem, my 2 other computers work fine over wireless.
I can access my router at 192.168.1.1 at all times.

Using the 2 procedures that you noted (answer ID 688 and 534) will get you port forwarding to a computer at a fixed LAN IP address behind your router. This means that your desktop computer would have a fixed LAN IP address that is set in the computer itself, and not assigned by the router's DHCP server. It sounds like the DHCP server is giving addresses to your other computers.
It is important to know what fixed LAN IP address you have assigned your desktop computer. The reason for this is that Linksys has specific rules about assigning fixed LAN IP addresses, and if you don't follow those rules, you can get problems like the one you originally described. That is the reason that I have pursued this question.
When you assign a fixed LAN IP address, it must follow these rules:
1) Any fixed LAN IP address must be outside the DHCP server range, which is typically 192.168.1.100 thru 192.168.1.149
2) The fixed LAN IP address must be consistant with the default gateway address, that is it must typically be in the form of 192.168.1.x
3) The "x" in item 2 cannot be equal to 1 or 255
So typically, a fixed LAN IP address must be in the range of:
192.168.1.2 thru 192.168.1.99 or
192.168.1.150 thru 192.168.1.254
assuming that you did not change your default DHCP server range.
So for example, if you assigned your desktop computer an address of 192.168.1.101, this could be the cause for your problem. So what address did you assign to your desktop computer when you used the Answer ID 534 procedure?

WRT54G SIMILAR TO POSTED PROBLEMS

Seems everyone posting has similar problems with WRT54G. I reconfigured my router according to the instruction received on the Linksys chat line. The router responded correctly and showed an active LAN connection on my desktop taskbar.
When I click on the internet explorer icon I get a no web page found message.The router is set to auto find my ISP, but it seems not to be able to find it. If I can figure out where to find my ISP address specs they can be entered manually. I think that will solve my problem, but don't know where to find the ISP specs.
Rap

Correct, that is my issue. Linksys support handled it for me once a year or so ago, but now they want $32. Suppose it's worth it considering the time I am beginning to put in on this.
I guess I could buy a new wireless router WRT54G2 and get Linksys new free set up support.The cost of a new router at Best Buy is only $49 so for the diff I have a new router, and I think one year free support.
Or, somtimes I think of trying another brand, what with the WRT54G problems everyone seems to have.
Thanks again.

How can i fix my wifi connection with my router

how can i fix my wifi connection with my router?

I think I'm having a similar problem, my wifi disconnects when a bluetooth device is connected to the MBA.
I have a MacBook Air (13-inch, Mid 2012) with WiFi and Apple Trackpad. I'm unable to use the trackpad(bluetooth) and wifi at the same time. If I turn off the trackpad then the wifi works fine and if I shutoff the wifi then the trackpad works fine. This configuration was working fine prior to upgrading to Yosemite.
I experienced the same problem at home and at the office.
Additional test:
I turned off the bluetooth trackpad and connected my bluetooth headphones to the MBA. The wifi disconnected as soon as I paired the headphones with the MBA.
I have had no problems with the MBA's keyboard or integrated trackpad.

Fix for Airport Wireless Connection Problem stating Self-Assigned IP and not wanting to connect in Lion OSX.

Fix for Airport Wireless Connection Problem stating Self-Assigned IP and not wanting to connect in Lion OSX.
Bought my girlfriend the newest Macbook Pro 13" and began experiencing problems with my wifi the moment we got home. Her Macbook would not connect to our home Wi-Fi while my old Macbook Late 2008 running Snow Leopard connected without a problem. Airport would say that it had a Self-Assigned IP address (168.x.x.x). Did not realize it was a Lion problem until after using her Macbook Pro and becoming jealous of the new OSX, I upgraded. Soon after I was unable to go online. Luckily I had my iPad 2 and I began to scoure the net for help. Ran into allot of suggestions but it was not until I tried the following all together was I able to share the good new, from my Macbook. Hope this works:
First go to Preferences > Network and click on the cog next to the + and - on the sidebar and click Set Service Order
     - Move Wi-Fi to the top and click ok.
     - Set location to Automatic
     - Click Apply
     - Click Advanced
     - Click the "-" on the selected Wi-Fi router you wish to connect to
     - Click Apply
     - Click Lock to Prevent Further Changes
Go to your Mac's harddrive, (Macintosh)
     - Go to Library > Preferences > SystemConfiguration >
     - Delete "com.apple.airport.preferences.plist" file
Turn off your computer
     - push and hold Option+Command+R+P
     - turn on computer
     - when the grey screen turns on you will hear the OS X "ON" sound (for lack of a proper term) and it will momentarily restart.
     - you will once again hear the "ON" sound, let go of all keys.
     - this resets your PRAM
Go to Preferences > Network > Advanced > + sign
     - click Choose a Network
     - Select your network and enter password
Viola!!! I tried this on my Macbook Late 2008 and my girlfriends new Macbook Pro 2010

     No you are clearly mistaken. The Self-Assigned IP address problem exists on many Macbook Pro models, including the current model, which I mentioned as being the original computer with the problem. While my 2008 Macbook is older it was working perfectly on Snow Leopard and didn't suffer issues until switching to Lion. So clearly the problem exists on the operating system and not so much the hardware.
     I called Apple Support and they had no fix for the problem and told me that this would hopefully be addressed in a subsequent update. It wasn't until I came accross the answer after trying many different methods that I got both of the Macbooks to connect to my router. Otherwise I wouldn't or could not have been surfing the internet for the last 4 months.
Cheers.

WRT54G v3 and BEFW11S4 Problems

It started off like this. My WRT54G Suddenly Bricked on me out of the blue. I dont know what caused it. So i hooked up my old BEFW11S4 to find a way to unbrick the Wireless G And i remembered it had the same wireless settings as the Wireless G. the Wireless was working fine For a while but it started timing out. so i get on the computer thats hooked up to the router via ethernet and i noticed the act/link light was blinking at a rapid rate but windows(vista) was saying the connection had little to no connectivity and couldnt ping the the Router. So i reset the router and it was acting wierd the Power started blinking and thats all, then i held the reset button even longer, but it came back on so i set everything back up and I quickly looked for a way to fix my wireless G, and it worked i got my wireless G back working. I set everything back up changed the router password, SSID and set it not to broadcast because I thought someone got into my router and started changing things. After a few hours the wireless G started acting strange again so reset it and it started Restarting By its self while the Powerlight constantly blinks. i held the reset button untill Dmz light came on nad the router stopped resetting itself. so i used the TFTP program from the site and it said the flash was successful and the router stopped responding. (I had cmd window running ping -t 192.168.1.1)The router restarted and it went back to what it was doing before, constantly restarting it self.
I hooked the Wireless B back up and that rapid blinking activity light was bothering me so i restarted the computer while the computer was off the like was still blinking. so when windows finished starting up i changed the link speed 100mbps full/half duplex made the the router blink but it stopped when i set it to 10mbps full.
Is it possible that one of my computers is causing my routers to act strange?

Well try upgrading the firmware of the router & keep on holding tightly
the reset button in such a way that power light is blinking on the
router & then do a complete network power cycle i.e., unplug the power
cables from the modem & from the router & then plug in the power cable to the modem first once all the lights are solid green you could plug in the power cable to the router & check out it will definately work!!
Also,the advanced wireless settings to Beacon Interval=50,Frag
thres=2306 & Rts thres=2307 & then uncheck a Block Anonymous Internet Requests & it will definately work!!!

WRT54G connectivity issues (ram problem?)

I've done everything I can to try and figure out what is wrong, but unfortunately, all I've been able to do is narrow down the problem with something internal with the router.
WRT54G v3.1 Firmware Version: v4.21.1
RCA Cable Modem
TimeWarner Road Runner Cable Service ~6mbps
This is at my parents house, so I'm not actually around all the time, but it happened earlier this afternoon. The router will respond to pings, wireless signal is ok, the router pages load, I can change all settings. But from any computer behind the router, I cannot access anything outside, nothing makes it past the router. Unfortunately, I don't have anything I could put between the router and modem to sniff what kinda traffic is going between the two.
The same things happen regardless of wired or wireless.
I've tried sniffing traffic, doing pings and nslookup and tracert and such, and the router responds, but nothing after that. If I go into the router diagnostics page, I can do tracerts and pings from there, and everything seems to respond fine (gateway, dns servers, google.com, etc).
Power cycling the router doesn't work, and neither does resetting the modem (and any combination thereof). The only thing that seems to work is resetting the router completely with the button on the back (which of course resets all settings and I have to change them back, which is a pain, and has thus caused my family to leave the router wide open with factory default settings.
I'm considering custom firmware... I know my way around linux, I'd say my level is intermediate, so I'm not too concerned about that, but my family doesn't, so I'm not really sure what firmware I should use.
Thanks for reading my long post, hope someone can help!
Edit: Reason I suggest problems with RAM because I've read in various places that the router keeps connection history for a long time, and the router tends to die when my family runs torrents, when the most number of connections are made. When it died today, no torrents were running, but there had been a larger than usual number of wireless clients because of thanksgiving break, and having guests over.

Your WRT54G has 16 MB of RAM. Many of the newer WRT54G's have only 8 MB of RAM, and they seem to be more prone to the "torrents" problem, although it appears that any Linksys router can potentially have a torrents problem.
Obviously, the router should not work in the way you described. Perhaps the firmware has become corrupted. I would suggest that you re-download and reinstall the latest firmware for your router. After reinstalling the firmware, you will need to reset the router to factory defaults. If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.
After resetting the router to factory defaults, I would suggest that you simply connect it to your cable modem and see if the problem recurs while using all default settings. Also, during this test period, do not let anyone use "torrents" or any other P2P programs. Assuming that this corrects the problem, the next step would be to begin using torrents, and see if that alone will cause the problem.
Hope this helps.

Frequent speed drops and router resetting itself.

Hello,
Over the past month I have been having two problems.
One of which is my broadband speed will randomly drop from 30mbps to as low as 2mbps, this problem will stay until I restart the hub and sometimes even that will not fix it.
The second problem is randomly throughout the day, usually around 4 times per day at random intervals, my hubs lights will all turn off except the power light which stays orange. Then it goes through the usual start up but takes around 5minutes to fully reconnect.
Obviously this is unacceptable, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
M. Obbard.

Do you have a separate Openreach modem? What homehub do you have?
Are you connected by wireless of Ethernet?
