Help Understanding Loss Of WiFi Issue

Hello,
I am running into a stange issue. I am trying to help my neighbors with a wiFi issue. They have a cable modem BEFSR41 v3 and a WRT54GX4. Everytime there is a power surge or outage, they loose internet and have to usually reboot both modems. The BEFSR41 is the DHCP, I have the DHCP turned off on the WRT54GX4. This time the BEF** kept the internet going and the WRT** lost the internet and we had to reboot it to get connection again??
I never loose internet after a surge or power outage when it returns. I am using the same BEFSR41 v2 and a ONQ WL-330gw wireless access point. I never have to reboot, internet always comes back after outage.
I am lost on trying to figure out the issue for reboot at my neighbors when I do not have to at my house? Could their cable modem be bad?
Thanks JR

Try to upgrade/re-flash the firmware on your router.
Connect the computer with the Ethernet cable to the router.
Download the latest firmware from Linksys website and save it on your computer. Open the setup page of the router. Click on Administration tab and go to Firmware upgrade sub tab. Browse the firmware file that you have already downloaded and upgrade it on your router.
After upgrading the firmware on the router, it is recommended that you should reset the router and reconfigure it. Press and hold the reset button on the router for 30 seconds. Release the reset button and wait for 30 seconds. Power cycle the router and reconfigure it.
Also try to change some advanced wireless settings on the router. Click on Wireless tab and go to Advanced wireless settings. Change the Beacon interval to 75, RTS threshold to 2307 and fragmentation threshold to 2306. Save the settings.

  • Help/understand plz-transcoded footage issue when slowing

    OK...just before I posted this question I tried one last thing and it seemed to resolve the issue stated below BUT I would appreciate an explanation so I understand potential issues in the future since I borrow my friend's cams for church work and one is an AVCHD cam which is great for b-roll/non-audio-important footage.  It appears that removing the "FRAME BLENDING" resolved the issue.
    ISSUE:
    When I slowed the b-roll to 50-80% AND rendered the footage after dropping it over the primary footage, it got all "jittery" (before rendering it was fine).
    DETAILS:
    1) working in FCP 7. 
    2) primary footage on a SONY Z1U (mDV) and b-roll on a SONY CX550 (AVCHD).
    3) transcoded the AVCHD footage from the CX550 to APR 422 (LT)
    As stated, issue seems to be resolved by removing the FRAME BLENDING when changing speed but I'd still appreciate an explanation.  Thanks for your time.

    hi Andrews117,
    Thanks for the follow up info.
    Can you share the link maybe of where you bought it, the actual link 
    I tried checking the system board for your Modeltype number 59383984 
    It listed a Motherboard which is 
    90003237
    VALGD MB W8S UMA
    SYSTEM BOARDS
    This board is a Shared graphics memory and does not have a discrete Video Graphics.
    Please send me the link so I can verify if the link or the posted details from where you bought it was the problem.

  • Anyone able to help with Galaxy S5 WiFi issues?

    I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 and ever since I bought it (Purchased on releasing day), the WiFi connection is horrible.
    To be more specific, the WiFi works perfectly when using the web browser, however, almost all of my applications that require internet connection such as facebook, youtube, imdb, snapchat, and various email application hardly work at all. I don't know if it's the applications themselves because applications like my mobile banking app, pandora, and my GPS application (Waze) all work just fine with no issues at all.
    I googled it and found a few posts with somewhat similar issues which lead me to going into my WiFi settings and changing it from DHCP to static. However, it didn't help. I also went into my router and changed the channel, but it still didn't help.
    If you have experience in this area or know of anything I can do to fix it, please feel free to explain.
    Thank you

    My wife is having the same issue. ive done everything there is to try and fix this issue and was
    unsuccessful. She is quite frustrated... after all i did have her leave tmobile to switch to verizon
    and now she has had nothing but issues that hse never ever had with tmobile.  ive bee with verizon for years.
    i just dont get it!
    have you got any answers for this issue yet?
    thanks

  • Bus over wifi issue

    Hi
    I'm looking for some advice for a ln issue I've just started having with my torch. I can use Bis over the mobile network but not over wifi. I have tried wifi at different locations but no luck. I've registered my phone on the blackberry network, I've tried service books but again makes no difference. I can use wifi to browse the Internet etc just not Bis. O2 are proving zero help as its a wifi issue, is there a way to contact blackberry directly?
    Many thanks

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    I've read some things recently about O2 changing their service offerings and perhaps removing BIS access via WiFi. I cannot recall for sure, but you should get them to confirm if indeed you should even be able to do as you are attempting.
    O2 has, however, fobbed you off...you PAY them for 100% of your services and 100% of your formal support...they are delivering neither to you right now. They have the ability to escalate cases that they cannot resolve into RIM...end users have no other free path by which to receive any formal support from RIM.
    Good luck!

  • Possible fix for some dlink routers with wifi issues

    I found something online that stated that if you turn off a feature  called WMM that it can help or fix some wifi issues, and on my dlink  dir-268 it seems to be working. Now without this feature turned off I  could connect to my wifi but not much else, with it off I have checked  websites online and also for the first time been able to download a  300MB+ file.  I dont know if it is still used on the newer dlink routers  but it could be at least a temp fix for some.  For my router it is located under the advanced/ advanced wireless settings
    Please post your results if you find this feature on your router, and list what model you have and if it worked so if it fixes problems for enough people mabe we can let dlink know of this find. could help in getting a fix out for the router firm ware or mabe even the android os.

    Wouldn't really be a fix... more a workaround. However...
    Both my Plus account, and a free test account I set up, don't have reliable push... so I think the problem is a little more complex than this.
    While there has been a theory that free accounts work (which I have not experienced), I don't think Apple or Yahoo have ever stated that push was only intended to work for free accounts...

  • I cannot get decent reception on my 4s from Sprint.  I understand there is a known WiFi issue with the 4s as well as antenna issues.  Is this true and is it resoved in the 5 series?

    I cannot get decent reception on my 4s from Sprint.  I understand there is a known WiFi issue with the 4s as well as antenna issues.  Is this true and is it resoved in the 5 series?

    I am aware that Sprint has network issues. I have learned that Apple does have reception issues with the 4s.  The 5 series has more antenna area and a different protocol. I have owned at least 6 iPhones personally and over 30 as a company.  The 4s is junk. Apple's attitude toward customer service is much more of a problem than Sprint's network.  Apple sent me your non-answer to my questions instead of anything real. I asked about the iPhone, not about Sprint.

  • Yoga 11S WiFi issues

    Hi all,
    As with many I am experiencing severe Wifi issues with new Yoga 11s. I will try to explain in detail in the hope that someone who better understands how wifi really works might be able to help diagnose.
    I have a Talktalk badged Huawei HG533 router. This delivers c.15Mbs reliably all around my house (2xTVs, computers up and downstairs, 2xphones). Using Speedtest.net to capture speeds.
    With the Yoga, if I sit right next to the router (as I am now), I get 15Mbs. In other parts of the house I get just 0.5Mb, including rooms where other devices are measured at 15. I have updated drivers and upgraded to W8.1 though I experienced exactly the same problem before the upgrade.
    I have tested every room and it seems that it will either work at very close to the maximum (in a few rooms) or drops off catastrophically to 0.5mb or less. There is no in between. I never lose connection altogether. There seems no correalation between the level of signal displayed (4 or 5 bars) and the speed.The 'good' rooms are separated by fewer walls.
    I have also observed that on occasion having tested in a good room and then moving to one of the bad rooms it initially shows good performance, before seemingly recognising where it is and throttling back to unusable.
    It is as though once it gets to a certain distance/separation/signal strength it somehow 'jams' the signal.
    I really neeed to find a solution to this as 1. my office is one of the bad rooms and 2. I am often in hotels, airports etc and need reliable internet even in poor signal areas. Any help much appreciated.

    Hey everyone, I just registered here and I couldn't find a solution. Apologies if this has been covered already.
    I received the Yoga 11s i5 as part of an internship and after keeping the package under wraps for a month or two, I decided to give it a go and start using it instead of my Microsoft Surface. Everything works smooth and I love it to bits - except for the WiFi.
    I was able to connect a few times, but for the most part it just doesn't work. The WiFi icon in the bottom right corner displays the adapter icon with a little red x, and the Windows troubleshooter is unable to find a solution. I'm really not sure what the problem is because, so far, my connectivity problem is entirely random - several times, I was able to connect and use the WiFi regularly only to be greeted with the same problem next time I  start using the computer. The troubleshooter once displayed an error message amongst the lines of "The network adapter is experiencing hardware/software difficulties".
    I don't know if it is worth mentioning that I live on a college campus with a dodgy wifi connection, but every other device I ever used is working properly. Any suggestions? Only thing I did try so far is refreshing the system and reinstalling Windows but, to no avail.
    Thanks in advance!

  • Does ios 6.1.3 wifi issues get solved in next update?

    Has anyone solved their wifi issues after new update of ios ? Coz i am having wifi issues since i updated my iphone 4s to 6.1.2 . I dont think it is a hardware failure... I have tried resetting my iphone as new device. I have checked my router settings which is a netgear make.
    Please help if new software updates help solve this problem? I have updated this from 6.1.2 to 6.1.3 but unfortunately  the problem persisted after updating my device to latest ios running. I guess many are having same issues. GUYS WE MUST DO SOMETHING SO THAT APPLE LISTENS US ATLEAST.

    I'm having the same issue since 6.1.2. I worked throught the various checklists and nothing has worked. What I have noticed is most of the 'fixes' require me to do someithing with my home router. I don't understand that as I use my phone as a hotspot or internet connection while I'm away from home and on 3G. That part doesn't make sense.
    When the phone is connected it is recognized in iTunes but not in the System Preferences Network Settings page.
    I used to connect my phone to my Mac via USB and opt to use the USB Only option for HotSpot with the Mac WIFI off. The blue bar on the phone comes on indicating that HotSpot is working. It has worked for me like that until 6.1.2. Since then the USB Only option does not work and I have to use WIFI on both the phone and the Mac. If I'm lucky, I get a connection and can get my mail and do some surfing before it drops the connection. The blue bar that comes up on the phone is there indicating the hotspot is on, but the connection is lost. A dozen or so resets, of either my Mac or my phone, later and I might get a connection again. That's no way to do business.
    All I did was update the phone when it told me there was an update available. Did I miss something?

  • When will the wifi issue be resolved for iphone5 ?!?!

    OK, i tried to read through & understand all the posts in the '5 page thread regarding WIFI issues for iphone5' but as alot of it doesn't relate to me I'm going to take a stab and see if anyone can help before i sell this **** phone on craigslist and go with a Samsung.
    My partner and I have been surfing a wifi connection from our apartment building for a year now (at the start we had our own with a good router and all but it actually didn't even work as well) And it works great! ....well considering it's free, it's pretty **** good. >> Up until a few days ago my 1 month old iphone5 doesn't pick up the WiFi (boyfriend's samsung does no problem, same with our macbook). Now had i not read all the other issues about the wifi for iphone5, iOS 6, etc I would just go sign up for my own internet and pay the fees like a good citizen but now I'm not convinced that will even solve the problem.
    Is there anything I can do to resolve this? I've already tried:
    >Reset Network Settings
    >Restore Settings
    >Restore iphone
    Or do i give up on Apple and switch over to a Samsung like my boyfriend?
    Thanks,
    priscilla

    Question, have you been stealing somebody elses internet or does your apartment complex provide a communal network for residents?
    In terms of wifi there should have been sufficient steps provided in the numerous threads you read but I'll gladly provide you with an article:

    Other then that you could take the iPhone into Apple to have it evaluated.

  • WiFi issues with iPhone 4S & ios 6 update

    Okay here is my issue...
    I've been reading alot of issues that people have with connecting to WiFi with their new iPhone 5, iPhone 4S or other devices but I have no trouble connecting to WiFi at all. My problem is that WiFi wont 'work'. The WiFi I'm hooked up to at home doesn't let me do basically anything that requires internet.
    I can get on the Facebook app fine and my newsfeed loads but I can't see Facebook notifications, upload photos or videos, read inboxes, look at photos, its very slow etc.
    I can't get into the App Store or iTunes at all. It says it 'Cannot Connect to iTunes Store' when I try.
    I can't upload photos onto Instagram
    Currently I'm into the Simpsons Tapped Out game and I can't go onto it at all.
    And there are a few other minor issues I am having.
    All these things I can do with my Telstra 3G network however and it ***** because I want to use and do all these things but I have to use my 3G and I've just recently gone over my data monthly usage and been charged extra which I'm not happy about.
    So is anyone else having these issues or is it just me and I'm stuffed? I'd REALLY love some help.
    I've been lost with what to do because as some are having WiFi issues as well, mine isnt the same and it's hard to find answers or just other discussions.
    Please Help!
    Thankyou.   

    I am having the same issue since updating to iOS 6.  It has been noticeable on my iPhone 4S and a little less noticeable on my iPad 3 but I think it is happening on the iPad too.  Very annoying problem.  One way to get it to work better is to re-boot your phone.  It will work for awhile then and then eventually not be working anymore and you will need to re-boot again.
    Just to be clear with everyone - the iPhone looks like it is connected to the wireless, it gets an IP address but can't transmit any data.  Device:  iPhone 4S, OS:  iOS6

  • WiFi issue after 6.1.2 upgrade

    I upgraded my OS to 6.1.2 and now I'm having troubles connecting to the internet at work.  I did reset my network settings and inputted the appropriate password and still having issues.  It identifies the network but when open safari or an app requiring internet connection it goes nowhere.  Is anyone else having this issue.  Does anyone know how to fix this problem.  Keep in mind my connection works fine at home.

  • Loss of wifi connect after 3.1.2 upgrade

    I recently updated the software on my iphone, and now I am no longer able to connect to (or find) any wifi point.
    I tried a restore of the iphone software, but I am still unable to connect via wifi at all. I am able to find the network on my mbp, and have even tried other reliable wifi locations, but not a single network shows up listed.
    help?
    Message was edited by: fndannyboy

    Quick update:
    after a few attempts to restore, erasing all data, and going through DFU mode, the wifi issue still was not fixed.
    I did determine, however, that the problem did not occur until AFTER I downloaded the new AT&T carrier update--that took my wifi from 100% working to not being able to pick up my network.
    I called tech support, and I have already sent the phone in for repair.
    Let's see what happens now.
