Getting closer...but still need some advice to fix my router

This is my third post so disregard this intro if you've read the others. About a year or so ago I bought my WRT45GX with SRX, as well as an adapter with SRX for my PC downstairs. For the first few months it ran fine, with only the occastional strange thing where it would go down and I would usually have to reintall the router to get it to come back up, it did that 1-4 times that day then wouldn't for a long while. More recently I've bought an Xbox Live Wireless Adapter, and a Laptop card with SRX as well.
My problem recently has been many, randomly without warning or reason my internet connection will pretty much become unuseable, dropping to speeds only rivaled by poor dial up. This can go in spikes or sometimes for hours before it comes back up. Sometimes it just falls out for good and IS unusable, again, for minutes to hours. I have confirmed that it is not my IP as when I hardwire to my computer from my modem it acts as normal as can be.
I have had my attempts to fix it, in the past few months I've messed with the channel a bit, bought new cables (waste of $40 =( ), been told to do a full router reset by a friends that didn't work, then on these forums I don't even remember the first respounce, but to my second post I was told to add security and change my SSID off of Linksys, which I did.
Alas, nothing has worked. I do believe I have discovered something that may be of use to you guys though. Recenetly I have discovered the /release and /renew command and first just used it when I get the measage "There is an IP error on your network" once in a blue moon. However, I thought I'd try it when the internet went down, and it popped right back up 0.o Then when I tried it right before posting here it popped right back up as well (from a slow down)
That could be a temporary fix but doesn't seem to help in the long run, I'm 90% it has something to do with the IPs, hopefully that helps you guys!
Since everyone always asks, my IP is verison, and I have yet to install the new firmware of my router but if someone thinks it's the problem I will.
Thanks for your time!! =D

Well,as you have already tried several settings on the router, you can definitely give a try to upgrade the firmware.
Try the following settings then,
Channel -- 1,9 or 11.
Under "advanced wireless settings"
Beacon Interval  : 50
Frag Threshold   : 2306
RTS  Threshold   : 2307
You can also update the drivers for the wireless adapter.

  • When I burn a disc from a playlist in iTunes, the track names and artist info does not display on the disc when friends view/listen to it. This probably is an easy fix, but I need some advice.

    When I burn a disc from a playlist in iTunes on my MacBook, the track names and artist info does not display on the disc when friends view/listen to it. This probably is an easy fix, but I need some advice.

    No, this standard has been implemented for several decades.
    How iTunes remembers audio CDs - http://support.apple.com/kb/TA27785
    It is just conceivable you burned a CD that exactly matched one already in the Gracenote database.  Gracenote uses track count and duration to decide what CD it is you have in a computer.  If you have one that matches that it will label it.  You could conceivably even have one that matches it that is not the correct one.
    This script will only work on Macs:

    }I have everything I need, but I don't want it to display the even numbers squared. I want it to display the odd numbers squared. And also at the end I need to Output all of the uppercase letters. Any ideas of what that means or how to go about it??
    By the way. The program outputs the following when I use firstNum=1 and secondNum=13:
    odd number = 1
    odd number = 3
    odd number = 5
    odd number = 7
    odd number = 9
    odd number = 11
    odd number = 13
    Even numbers total = 42
    2 squared is 4
    4 squared is 16
    6 squared is 36
    8 squared is 64
    10 squared is 100
    Odd numbers(squared) total = 165

    }Ok. I figured out how to display the odd numbers squared. I was forgetting to place the else after the if statement. But I still don't understand what my teacher could be talking about when she says "the last step is to output all the uppercase letters"
    Any help here? It makes no sense to me. It's all numbers. How could I output any uppercase letters?

  • Password and Blowfish? (Much closer but still need help)

    I'm still trying to decrypt a file encoded with a password-based (PBKDF2) Blowfish cipher. I'm bit further now but starting to run out of ideas. Here is what I have so far:
    // 1. Given a password, build a password-based key and from that build a Blowfish key
    PBEKeySpec kspec = new PBEKeySpec( pwd.toCharArray(), salt, iterationCount, keySize );
    SecretKeyFactory kfact = SecretKeyFactory.getInstance( "PBKDF2WithHmacSHA1" );
    SecretKey sKey = kfact.generateSecret( kspec );
    byte[] keyBytes = sKey.getEncoded(); // Is this right?
    Key bfKey = new SecretKeySpec( keyBytes, "Blowfish" );
    // 2. Given Blowfish key and initialization vector, decrypt the cipherText into plainText
    Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("Blowfish/CFB/NoPadding");
    IvParameterSpec iv = new IvParameterSpec( initVector );
    cipher.init( Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, bfKey, iv );
    byte[] plainText = cipher.doFinal( cipherText );In a full test bed, this compiles and runs just fine, except that it doesn't appear to decrypt the data as expected.
    More specifically, when I use Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE to encrypt something like "This-is-a-test" and then decrypt the result with the code above only the first 8 bytes of the result return to plain text, the rest are garbage ("This-is-XXXX...").
    The simple test case, at least, should work perfectly but I'm still missing something crucial. The fact that the first 8 bytes decode fine but not the rest feels like a hint to me, but I'm just not getting what the issue might be as I used the same password, initialization vector, key-, and cipher-types in both directions (encode/decode).
    Help?

    Umm, mea culpa on the encrypt/decrypt test; that part works now (yay!) My core issue remains, however, and that involves getting the OOo document component (content.xml) to decrypt:
    The document meta-data definitely indicates "Blowfish CFB" which I take to mean "Blowfish/CFB/NoPadding".
    What would help me greatly is if someone (perhaps even you, Sabre) could take a look at the following code fragment and tell me if I'm (a) doing something fundamentally wrong here (specifically with the key conversion from PBKDF2 to Blowfish), or (b) if there is an alternative way of doing what I think(hope) I'm doing, which may have different/better results. My trouble is that the decrypt step on the document produces merely binary data (not compressed data which was to come out of the decryption):
    // 1. Create a password-based ("PBKDF2") key, then build a "Blowfish" key from that
        SecretKeyFactory keyFactory = SecretKeyFactory.getInstance( "PBKDF2WithHmacSHA1" );
        PBEKeySpec pbKeySpec = new PBEKeySpec( password.toCharArray(), salt, 1024, 128 );
        SecretKey pbKey = keyFactory.generateSecret( pbKeySpec );
        byte[] encoded = pbKey.getEncoded();
        Key bfKey = new SecretKeySpec( encoded, "Blowfish" );
    // 2. Initialize a specific cipher with the key, and initialization vector
        Cipher bfCipher = Cipher.getInstance( "Blowfish/CFB/NoPadding" );
        IvParameterSpec iv = new IvParameterSpec( initVector );
        bfCipher.init( Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, bfKey, iv );
    // 3. Decrypt it
        byte[] plainText = bfCipher.doFinal( cipherText );If full code would help, I'll gladly post it, but the above is the distilled core of the thing and probably easier to grok. Thanks!

  • Having some serious issues with my iPhone and need some advice

    I'm going to these two issues which have been occuring with me for the past weeks-
    1.) I am facing a problem with my iPhone 5's lightning port or the cable. This started happening all of a sudden; one second my phone is charging, and the other it is not. Even if it is slightly moved from its position, it would stop charging, and further shaking starts it again, so on and so forth. At first I thought the issue might be with my cable, so I asked my friend to bring his lightning cable to my house so we could test that. It happened again- one shake the phone will charge, another shake stops it. (Note that any kind of movement does this, not only shaking) I'm a bit skeptical about his (my friend's) cable too, though- it shows NOT CHARGING on his iPad while it is in fact actually charging. His cable is only 3-4 weeks old though, so this confuses me even more. I think the issue might be with my port, but as of now I cannot draw a valid conclusion to my problem.
    2.) The second problem is that I've noticed my battery drains a **** lot faster now- ever since the first issue started. I manage to get my phone charging by placing it very carefully on the table and it charges overnight. However, when I pick it up in the morning, and read some news, it drains from 100% to 99% in ~60 seconds. This never happened before. Before this, it used to be at 100% for at least 10-15 minutes (might be even more). If I reboot my phone, it shows 100% again, but it still drains a lot faster now. I know because I've been using this phone for the past 4 months now, and I know when it drains and when it does nots
    Please, help! I need some advice as to how I should approach this problem. My phone is in the warranty period, however, I would like to have an expert's opinion first.

    Hello,
    First: I've experienced the same problem with my iPhone 5. I've bought a new charger and it still did the same thing. I went to the Apple Store to get my iPhone checked out and they said that the pins inside my iPhone we're damaged, and I had to get a replacement.

  • Songs disappearing. Need some advice.

    I need some advice regarind my ITunes library. I spent a lot of time importing all my cd's. I now have approx. 14,000 songs now. First I had put them all in as mp3's, then I heard about the quality and smaller size of AAC. I think that is where some duplicates came from. But some how I've ended up with up to 6 of a lot of my songs, at least it is showing 6 copies of many of my song in my ITunes library. But when I go to delete all but one of the songs, through ITunes, sometimes it is fine and sometimes I get the ! icon. I guess even though I left one in Itunes it actually deleted all copies. I did not know I was doing this because it doesn't show the ! icon until you go back and try to select the song. This took days and days to deleted over 6,000 duplicates.
    Now I'm finding some albums are missing songs and some are missing the whole albums even though they show in Itunes. I even have gone through and tried to "FIND" the songs some are really there but most are not. So how to I go about reconstructing the library. Is it best to try and find each one or just wipe (delete) my library clean and just reimport the entire library? I'm talking about reconstructing approximately 12,000 songs and I have no idea how many cd's.
    I just would like to know how you guys would handle this. Thanks for your help.

  • I'm Back! Need some Advice! Rebuild time! 6/19 UPDATE! 2nd UPDATE 7/6/15

    WooHooooooo! Another quick update, only 5 minutes ago I found this link on credit karma http://www.creditonecards.com/pre-qualification.php?C1BSourceID=C1B1  that lets you prequalify for a credit card! Which I have tried many many many times  only to recieve the message sorry we couldn't prequalify you at this time but here are some SECURED cards you may like which sucks! I decided to try one more time at this link and was totally surprised to get preapproval for a platinum card yay! Mind you, this card is probably the worst card to get and I will probably never ever use it, just need it to help with my utilization scores. The fees are high, the rates are high, the balance is low........but oh well I am still doing the happy dance!!!

    Hi everyone! Long time no see! Just need some advice on what else I should be doing. I have been a part of this forum for many years now and I have taken and heeded so much advice that my head is about to explode and now I just want to make sure I am not forgetting anything. I tried to keep it short  Last time I was on I hadn’t reached the 600 club yet. But I am here now in the 600 club! Still the low 600’s but its progress. Unfortunately slow progress because a lot has happened since I was last on here. I am now officially divorced. I finally have permanent steady income, no temp services anymore phew. I have had to reevaluate my budget and cut a lot of things out. No cable, no home phone, monitor my electric bill like a hawk and learn to like the darkness, cold in the winter and the heat in the summer. I have an older smart phone, had to do without the latest gadgets and gizmos, which truly hurts my heart because I am an electronic fiend. No tablets here, no high tech laptops. Instead of buying a new car and making payments I bought a really good used gas-efficient car cash, paid in full. But since it’s still a newer car I am paying for full coverage insurance, my only splurge. I have spent this time away from this forum truly taking heed to the lessons I learned on here and reflecting on my situation. I have paid nearly everything off! It took some time but I only have 2 creditors left ‘that I know of’ to pay.One of the creditors has not reported to the bureaus yet but I want to take care of them before they do. Most of the ones I paid have already fallen off because of SOL. I was getting to the point I had the problem where I didn’t just have bad credit, I had NO credit. I hadn’t opened any new accounts until this year. Just today I opened a $500 Secured Personal loan and a few months ago I opened a $300 Secured Credit Card at my credit union. I also applied for a Quicksilver CapOne card and was approved for $300. I just started school this year and there is now a financial aid loan of $1750 that is reporting on my credit report as deferred right now. I tried to prequal for some more but was denied by all of them. So far only quicksilver would approve me.  My plans are to move out of state next May and get an apartment for 6 months while I get the lay of the land and then purchase my FIRST home!!

  • I had to remove Mavericks and do a reinstall on 10.8.5 but still need help...

    I have been trying to undo my Mavericks upgrade in October and after considerable effort I am mostly got back to 10.8.5 OS but still need a bit of help. I just want the previous OS back in place then I'll try Mavericks soon....
    1)               I never seem to pay attention so is 10.8.5 the last OSX prior?  As long as it isn't Mavericks, I want to get it installed.
    2)               I had to reformat my iMac so I have a residual elements from 10.9 and one issue that I had before was permissions. Every number of files either on other hard drives or sometimes in my same user folder was asking for permission and authentication to simply move a file.. A popular one you'll see at the bottom the person/whatever/ problem known as fetching.  Could someone just give me the general reason of this fetching and permissions problem that I ran into?  Better yet since I just want to avoid it altogether into the future tell me what's the best way to assure it disappears forever.
    3)          Another, which is kind of a big ticket item for me is the backup/restore/cover your (!!!) system. I was a good little iMac User and had Time Machine backed up for a period prior to the Mavericks install. I'm a little bit upset that TM isn't 100%....but what is...?  I need another backup/restore system in place and that's what I am looking for recommendations on.  An item that saved me a bit was that I had OS 10.8.3 on an external hard drive.  The problem with that one was it was on a partition, on one of the drives requiring to be reformatted.  It worked as a bridge consolidating files and all but was a big headache as a partition on the external. Recovery Disk did it's part but wasn't enough as well.   Is there a simple/easy idea...clone, disk images, boot from an external drive… ?
    4)          iPhoto (9.4.3) currently will not open the libraries which iPhoto (9.5) converted. Is there way to go back?  Seems the App Store and Software update don't like something. I'm getting into a loop with App Store, iPhoto and the OS. Either the software needs operating system ... then the App Store says it's incompatible or some other complaint.  Right now I have 9.4.3 iPhoto installed for OSX 10.8.5 and was only able to create a new library and the converted ones currently do not open.
    Thanks to your help

    10.8.5 is the lates ML edition.  I use TM and also carbon copy cloner as my second backup.  If I were you and you have a TM backup prior to Mavericks I would try another restore at bootup.  You should erase your drive first in that process using disk utitlites and then use TM to put back you apps and files.  The other choice is to do an internet recovery and then use TM to restore your apps and files.  That should fix the permissions issue.  I did the same thing and all was OK including getting my original iPhoto progam (9.4.3), iphoto11 and photos back.

  • Business Delegate pattern - need some advice

    Hi. First let me apologize for the long post. I could see no other way. I�m building a system that quite large and I need some advice. The system is a type of transaction system, let�s suppose a shopping cart. I�m using struts taglibs and tiles for presentation, struts proper for controller, and POJOs for business logic. Also I�m using OJB for my data tier.
    Now I�ve been reading Pro Jakarta Struts (Apress), which BTW is a recommended read to anyone with novice experience in struts and related technologies. I�ve assimilated most of the techniques and patterns described in the book, and most of them make sense to me. However, I�ve hit a snag while reading the Business Delegate and Service Locator patterns.
    The way I had though of building my application before reading the book, was to have a wrapper class, such as the following:
    public class ShoppingCart {
      private IAuthenticationService authenticationService;
      private ITransactionService transactionService;
      public ShoppingCart() {
         authenticationService = new DBAuthenticationService();
         authenticationService = new DBTransactionService();
      public login(String username, String password) {
         String sessionToken = authenticationService.logon(username, password);
         return sessionToken;
      private boolean isValidUser(sessionToken) {
         bolean validUser =  authenticationService.isValidUser(sessionToken);
         return validUser;
      public performTransaction(sessionToken, TransactionVO) {
         if (!isValidUser(sessionToken) {
              throw new AuthenticationException();
         transcationService.performTransaction(TransactionVO);
      public editPreferences(sessionToken, PreferencesVO) {
         if (!isValidUser(sessionToken) {
              throw new AuthenticationException();
         authenticationService.performTransaction(PreferencesVO);
    }My idea was that my wrapper class would isolate all the business logic and could perform login service in case my application was ever to be used with other presentation layer than struts (standalone client, web services). However I believe that this overlaps the Business Delegate pattern and maybe even totally implements it. The way I understand the code I�m reading in the book, they suggest having a BD for each major service such as AuthenticationServiceBD, TransactionServiceBD, etc� However this would break my single point of entry for authenticating users. I really need some advice on my design and how it fits with the BD and SL patterns (or others). I would also like to know what you think/recommend of my authentication strategy.
    thanks in advance

    Thanks for your reply. This however, I understood. My concern is regarding my application in regards to business delegate pattern. You see I have this class (simplified for clarity):
    public class ShoppingCart {
       private ILoginService ls = new DBLoginService();
       private ITransactionService ts = new DBTransService();
       // and so on for all services I offer.
       //  then I mirror all the calls of my private interfaces
       //  and pass them through internally
       public String sessionToken login(String username, String password) {
            ls.login(username, password);
       public boolean addToCart(sessionToken, itemNo) {
            // check session
            ts.addToCart(sessionToken, itemNo);
       //  and so on
    }Multiple questions for this one:
    1) Am I not already implementing the Business Delegate pattern with my ShoppingCart class since all interfaces are private and all calls are mirrored from the wrapper class (ShoppingCart) to the private interfaces? All services are implemented as POJOs and I am not using JNDI at the present so I don't use the ServiceLocator pattern.
    2) I store a reference to the wrapper class (ShoppingCart) in the ServletContext so I can grab it from my Action classes. What do you think of this approach?
    3) How many BDs should an application contain. In my case I use just one. What is the advantage of using more?
    4) I create my own session tokens in case I ever want to use to business code in a non-web applications where sessions are not available readily. This brings about the problem that I can't pass the interfaces directly to the Action classes because the login session needs to be checked before any calls to services. So all methods include a sessionToken parameter which I use to check the session. This way, if I want to expose some of the services through web services, I can still use a login. What do you think of this approach.
    5) Any other remarks are very welcome...
    I really need help with this from an experienced programmer. Most things I can handle on my own but with this type of design issue, books just don't cut it. I need experience. I would really apreciate some feedback.

    ps: I would give all my Duke dollars for this (I only have 30), but I'm not sure how. If you want them I can create a dummy question and give them to you.

  • I need some advice...

    Hi, I'm not quite sure where this topic should go exactly as it isn't about a specific topic. So plz fogive me if it's wrongly placed in your opinion.
    Anyway, I've been a long time fan of Linux and I don't want to have to stop using it. I've just recently converted my whole computer to a linuxbox only system, as I was running winxp(uke) before and couldn't stand it. It would lag during simple tasks like going from one directory to another and for no apparent reason, which aided me in my conversion. Enough about winblows, I don't need to tell you guys why it sucks, we all have our reasons. But there is just one thing bothering me now... and that is gaming. I am a huge fan of gaming and have been doing so for quite some time now (years) and well... gaming on linux hasn't been too pleasant for obvious reasons.
    1) the games I play except for quake3 are written and made to run solely on a winblows workstation.
    2) Wine and Winex3 have limited, but growing support for a range of games.
    3) Lastly the main game I would like to play (Steam CS 1.6) doesn't like to run on linux due to its constant updates, which throws WInex3 out of wack. Where it could have been working the day before but due to the update it no longer runs.
    I'm thinking of just making a partition for winxp(uke) so that I can game, but this isn't something I'm totally willing to do.
    Basically I need some advice and/or suggestions that anyone is willing to share with me.
    Thank you in advance.
    BTW: I'm not new to linux, I've been using it for almost 2 years now and have tried ALL of the distro's you can think of. (Arch is my distro of choice at the moment, along with slackware.)

    Enemy Territory is an excellent game, and it is totally free.
    I haven't played the free game from the US Army, but heard it is really good, and is totally free.
    I bought Return to Castle Wolfenstein, which plays perfectly in Single player mode, but I have some trouble in multiplayer mode (and I'm not an expert either).
    I bought Unreal Tournament 2004, which plays perfectly in both single player and online, but I simply suck at the game.
    I bought Never Winter Nights because I know the company has a linux version you can download once you have a registered copy.  I havent installed it yet, though, been playing UT2004.
    Doom3 is supposedly going to have a linux installer on the CD's, like UT2004 does.
    Anygame that uses OpenGL graphics instead of DirectX will prolly run under WINE or WINEX, or be easy for the original company to port (if they choose to).
    There are some "up and coming" linux only OpenGL games, light flightgear (a flight simulator), and a couple of 'massive online games".
    Betweet RTCW, EnemyT, Never Winter Nights, UT2004, and soon Doom3 - I have enough games to play, and thats without buying winex.
    Fergettabout Windows! You simply don't need it anymore.
    If you are determined to run Windows, get a removeable drive bay, and just swap boot drives when you want to swtich.  Or use GRUB if you want to select from multiple OS's.
    thx

  • Where to begin? Need some advice

    Greetings all,
    I've been poking around here trying to find a topic that matches my question and have not had much luck. Here is my situation.
    I'm back into photography after many years and, of course, am coming from the traditional film and darkroom days and now find myself drinking from a fire hose trying to master digital photography.
    I want to use Photoshop but would appreciate some advice on how best to learn it? Can you folks recommend what you consider the best books for a total neophyte to Photoshop to use to learn the fundamentals?
    Thanks for any advice you can offer.

    I was surpised to see that was from back in April; I would have said September or October, if pressed to guess when the thread ran. Glad I have it bookmarked, and archived on my hard drive.
    If it ever
    would
    be considered for an addition to the FAQs, I hope someone asks me first, because there are a few things I'd like to add and clarify before it gets all sticky.

    I need some advice about the macbook pro and iPhone 5.
    I took a video on my iPhone and tried to email it it said it was too big to send? So i downloaded it to my macbook pro and tried to mail it to no avail? The macbook tells me the server won't let it through other mail goes through any ideas how to resize it or what it might take to send it?

    I agree with LowLister, the best option for you to share the video online is to upload it to your online storage account for example : Box, Dropbox, SkyDrive (All of them provide free storage beginning from 2GB).
    You can upload the files which you want to share in this online storage and then they have sharing options in which you'll will get the link of the file to be sent and send the email. You're good to go!
    Tip : You can store multiple files for backup purposes.
