Have to reset WRT54G after a power loss
Hi,
I have a WRT54G ver 2 running firmware version 4.21.1. "Keep Alive" is enabled for the PPoE connection to my provider.
My two problems:
1) Anytime I encounter a power loss I have to reset the router and then of course reconfigure it. In the past, I never had to do this whenever there was a loss of power.
2) In a related problem, I cannot use the wireless print server. As soon as I get it configured and working other PCs on my network lose internet connectivity. That forces me to reset the the router, which forces me to reconfigure the wireless print server, and the sysle begins again!
Is it possible the ver of firmware I'm running is the issue or do I have a faulty router?
Routers seem to be sensitive to electrical surges and noise. This can cause them to loose their settings. You should keep your router plugged into a high quality surge suppressor with EMI/RFI filtering, such as the Belkin SurgeMaster Gold Series. EMI/RFI filtering is required. A surge suppressor alone is not enough because surge suppression does not start until the voltage exceeds 330 volts. Alternatively, most UPS devices have both surge suppression and EMI/RFI filtering.
If this does not prevent your router from "forgetting" its settings, then the router is malfunctioning, and it should be replaced. A router that forgets its settings is not secure.

MSI Z68A-GD65 G3 Power On after Ac Power loss how to turn it off?
Hi,
I want my computer to stay off when the power go down. But it is automatically powering on after Ac power loss even though I set in BIOS to stay off. Any ideas? Happened twice already.
SPECS:
i5 2500k
MSI Z68 ZD65 BIOS v23.6
Antec 400W Seasonic S12-II based PSU
Power On After Ac Power Loss Option in bios is "OFF"
Thanks.Quote
Restore after AC Power Loss
This item specifies whether your system will reboot after a power failure or interrupt
occurs. Settings are:
[Power Off] Always leaves the computer in the power off state.
[Power On] Always leaves the computer in the power on state.
[Last State] Restore the system to the status before power failure or interrupt
occurred.
If you have this properly configured as you indicate in your post, try a full cmos clear and set it back and to re-test.
If that is of no help, what bios version do you have installed? -
Apple TV I have to re-start after every power outage. Is this normal? I have gen 3
After all power outages. I have to re-set my Apple TV. Is this normal? I have had this device for 8 months and its become a pain!
Many thanks guys for the response. there are still problems that i didn;t put here: 1: Storage (USB) is really slow; 2: Config restore is not working (I used to think this is not a problem while i changed my mind after reading some of the search results of the product); 3: Device will get back to work after power outage ONLY if you leave everything to be factory default, as long as you changed ANY setting, you lose your connection after power break. I will return this piece, and go back to D-link. I bought this router for my boss and i can not afford losing my job because of it. Sorry for this decision in Linksys forum, but, it leaves me no choice.

Power back on after AC power loss.
We have a few M93p SFF and also mid tower models. I was curious if there is a way to change options in the BIOS. I need the ability for these computers to power back on by themselves after AC power is returned. These are being used in a production environment and it is hard for these computers to be reached to power them back on after a power outage.
Any help would be appreciated.
ThanksPress F1 at startup to access BIOs options. The setting you're looking for can be found under Power Options

Power outages are only a few seconds long as the power company switches providers. Happens once about every two weeks. If in a Firefox session, Firefox will not reopen for four to five minutes after the computer is restarted. When it opens, it does not return to the previous session with an error message that essentially states "Gee we're sorry and embarrassed". I am using Window's Vista with Firefox as my default we browser. Firefox is up to date with the latest version installed.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe Mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit") -
Problems with connecting to internet after power loss w WRT54G v3
I'm having problems connecting to the internet after a power loss with my WRT54G v3 wireless router. I'm at the latest firmware version (4.21.1).
I found similar problems with the V2 version of this router.
After a power failure, I can access the http interface to the router,all of my settings are there (not set to factory settings),the unit is connected to my ISP provider,I can ping from the router, but none of my wired or wireless PCs can ping.
To "fix" this condition, I have to reset to factory settings, then re-load my saved configuration.This usually works, but sometimes I have to hard reset the unit.
Anyone having this problem? Anyone have a fix?Sudden loss of power for extended periods of time will 9x out of 10 will corrupt the saved configurations and can only be fixed in the way you already described.
A solution for this is getting an UPS incase of a power failure your equipment will be on battery back up until either the battery runs out or power is restored (depending on the model changed the battery time)

WRT54G Have to Reset ABOUT every two weeks
Hi, My WRT54G works fine but about every two weeks I have to reset it (unplug the power cord wait 30 sec. and plug it back in) to get it to connect to the internet or get emails. I believe it is Ver. 8.2
Any ideas why, other then that its works fine, I don't want to mess it up, I'm not great with computers.
THANKSTry upgrading the firmware on the router.
You can find some info here.
After upgrading the firmware, Reset the router. Press the reset button on the router for 30 seconds. The Power light will start flashing. Turn the Router and the Modem OFF. Turn the modem ON first, wait for 10 seconds, turn the router ON, wait for 10 seconds, you should be ONLINE with a reliable connection !!!

WLSE config/passwords gone after power loss
We have a WLSE 1130 that loses its configuration after a power loss, and all passwords.
The WLSE comes back up after the power loss, but is no longer reachable via ICMP. It asks for the default admin login/password, then requires basic config info - ip info, new admin name/password, etc. After this is completed and the WLSE is back up, all of the users passwords are wiped out and have to be reset. But, everything else is OK.
We are running version 2.15.4. Any ideas?Well the date set back to 1969 is a classic sign of a dead battery.
Check out things in Texas Mac Man's Battery, PRAM, PMU tutorial on the subject. His tutorial is a little dated (don't believe it even mentions G5's, or Intel Macs) but the info in it, except SMU and SMC not being included, still applies. Luck ! DALE -
RVL200 won't auto-reconnect to Internet after power loss (PPPoE)
My RVL200 firmware 1.1.7 is configured for PPPoE. The connection to the Internet is via an ATT (SBC) DSL line using a Siemens Slipstream 4100 modem. The 4100 is configured to allow the PPPoE connection to be managed by the router. The RVL200's PPPoE fails to automatically reconnect to the Internet after a power loss (or if I click Disconnect on the RVL200's web page). This is true for both the Connect on Demand and Keep Alive PPPoE alternatives. In either case, I have to go to the router's web screen and manually click "Connect" to force a reconnection. The LAN is populated by Win XP SP2 systems.
Is there some special configuration needed on the LAN, in the RVL200's routing table, or in the modem to allow automatic reconnection to occur? Obviously it is undersirable to have to give out the RVL200 password to everyone who might need to force a reconnect after a power loss.
Neither the RVL200 Admin Guide not the Users Guide has any useful information on this issue.I have to manually reconnect it. This issue came up when testing what would happen with an RVL200 in a power failure - whether it would automatically reconnect. I don't expect a lot of power failures, but I do want the network to reconnect automatically rather than have to count on someone knowing how to do it and having the apssword.
Am I correct that it is supposed to automatically re-establish the PPPoE connection?
What triggers the reconnection? -

RV042 v3 (v4.2.2.08) loses config after power loss
I have two RV042 units - both v3 hardware and both with firmware 4.2.2.08.
Both units lose thier configuration and return to factory default after a power loss.
I've tried re-flashing the firmware in both units - no change.
I have the configuration backed up for both units, so it only takes me a few moments to restore them after a power loss, but shouldn't the units hold their configuration in NVRAM or some such?
Any ideas as to what I'm missing?
Thanks for any replies...

FPGA Reset during power loss? NI 9802 Module
We have recently started using the NI 9802 on a cRIO system. We are getting the error -65550 discussed here: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/BD118434E87B9732862575C8006FD7FB
The article says that the error can be caused by the FPGA resetting while the drive was mounted. "To prevent this error from happening in the future, do not reset the
FPGA while you have an SD card mounted, reset before you mount the card
or after the card is unmounted." Does a power loss reset the FPGA and require you to reformat the card??? We plan to use this as a remote system and power failure is possible. We would not be able to travel hundreds of miles back to the device to reformat an SD card in the event of a power loss. This can't be right. How could they sell a module that worked like that?
Also, does the card need to be formatted with FAT32 or FAT16?
[will work for kudos]
Solved!
Go to Solution.I would like to submit a suggestion for the next version of this module. It would be awesome if in the rare but possible case of the crio losing power that the card did not become corrupt and you would then not need to travel all the way to the device and pull the SD cards out and reformat them with a pc before your system could be come operational. Like the ability to reformat at run-time would be a decent fail safe function. Even though you would lose all the data you had recorded onto the SD Card, wasting time and money, at least the entire system would not be fatally crippled by a simple loss of power and unexpected device reboot.
As it stands, even with a quality power backup battery as you have suggested, the simple possibility that you could lose power and need to manually perform a format on the SD card makes this module inferior to simply plugging in a big USB drive, both in terms of reliability and storage space. The appeal to this module, even though it could only hold two 2 gig SD cards, was its apparent ruggedness and reliability over using a usb drive.
Respectfully waiting for a new version of this module,
Rex

Reboot after Power loss doesn't work
The situation:
I bought a APC Back-UPS 350 and a mac mini for an exhibition.
The Power ist turned off by the stuff from time to time.
The UPS turns off the mac after 1 minute (10.4.7 works fine, 10.4.10 doesn't react at all but
thats not the problem)
The problem:
the mac doesn't restart after turning the power back on. I checked the "Power loss restart"-option
in the panel. I cleared the PRAM, did a reset on the SMC, … has anyone an idea or better: a solution? Thanks.Hi happyappleusersofar-
Greetings and welcome to the Apple boards.
Any chance the UPS is not putting out any power for some reason? Have you tried this with the mini plugged directly into the wall?

8.02 POA crashes w/ntdll.dll fault after power loss
Hi,
Running GW 8.0.2 on Windows 2003 server (POA, MTA and GWIA). After power loss on Friday, POA will not stay up for long - crashes with:
"Faulting application gwpoa.exe, version 8.0.2.10840, faulting module ntdll.dll version 5.2.3790.4455" error.
MTA and GWIA are not crashing.
I thought maybe it could be a corrupt message but the only messages in the queues are dated today and not Friday (\PO\wpcsout\ofs\4 - wpcsin queues are empty). I am currently running gwcheck.exe against the message databases but that is going to take a couple hours. Any thoughts? Thanks.Originally Posted by DJMUGI
Hi, I'm reaching out to DJHess (and other forum members) - we are having nearly exactly the same issue (same version of GW, gwpoa.exe and ntdll.dll), POA does not stay up long (crashes after just a few hours) - but we did not have a power loss (that I am aware of). Was a solution ever determined for this issue? Did gwcheck.exe help (it does not for us)?
I am having the exact same problem. Below are the specs of my GroupWise servers:
GroupWise 8.0.2 (POA and MTA)
Server OS: 2008 R2 x64
The POA will randomly shut down with an ntdll.dll error fault. I have migrated this server to new hardware and a new OS (user to be on a 2003 R2 SP2 server and half the RAM). Same issue. Anyone have a fix for this?
