HH5A Rebooting every day.

Problems with HH5 have been going on too long now. Never had such a bad router (and this is second HH5 I have had). Old Billion router was up for months at a time. HH5 drops and reboots most days when in use, normally when working hard (online gaming via ethernet).

IMac reboots every day at 5:56 AM

Recently my work hours changed, so I'm now up at 5:30 AM instead of 6:30. Because of this, I was able to observe that my iMac G4 - sound asleep as I recently was at this hour - reboots every day at 5:56 AM precisely. Obviously some timed script is running, but I can't figure out what it is, where it "lives", and how to stop it. I have the Cocktail utility, so I ran the daily "cron" script - but the system did not reboot. The only things connected to the iMac are speakers, a Lacie 250 GB Firewire HD, and a M-Audio Keystation 49e USB keyboard (not powered on). I have no idea how long this has been going on since I've never been up this early until recently. Anyone have any ideas on what could be causing this?

Problem solved - and boy do I feel stoopid!
After checking out all the suggestions offered, I went to visist the iMac in question (located in the "family" room in the basement) at 5:54 AM this morning, coffee in hand. At precisely 5:56 AM (by my watch) the UPS shut down for a moment and then turned back on. The UPS battery is obviously fried, so the UPS shutdown/restart "reboots" the iMac (set to restart after power failure). Since the iMac is in the basement, I must have missed the warning beeps that signal battery failure. So what causes the UPS to restart at 5:56 AM? I had this experience years ago at a firm located in an industrial park - some nearby factory had machinery that started up the same time every day - heavy duty stuff - and it sent a huge "spike" down the line which wrecked havoc with out network backups. I suspect the same thing here - something "heavy duty" goes on-line at 5:56 AM and creates a power "spike" (or whatever) - the UPS senses the "spike" and shuts down to "spare" the devices connected to it, but since it can no longer provide power while it's off, it effectively "reboots" the iMac.
Solution - buy a new UPS!
Thanks to all who chimed in - sorry it wasn't something more exotic!

Airport suddenly needs to be rebooted every day

I have a client with an AirPort Extreme. He has been using it for several
years without a problem. Suddenly EVERY day (definitely when he wakes up in
the morning and sometimes at other points in the day - as far as I can tell
when the computer is idle) the status light blinks yellow.
When this happens he looses the wireless connection. If I plug an ethernet
cable into the AirPort it shows up under the AirPort Admin Utility, but is
unable to read the configuration to determine what the AP is unhappy about.
A simple power cycle fixes the problem.
I first thought it might be a problem with the AP so I replaced it with a
new one (having the latest firmware).
Same problem.
I have since replaced all ethernet cables and the Time Warner Road Runner
cable modem. Same problem.
I even tried a LinkSys router in front of the AP and put the AP in bridge
mode, but no joy.
A few other points:
If I sleep the MacBook I CAN NOT get the problem to happen (I am only
waiting max 10 min)
We "coincidentally" replaced his 3 year old MacBook with a new one (with OS
10.61) a few days before this problem started. I cant see how this could be
the problem as it happens when the computer is sleeping and the fix is to
reboot the AP not the computer, but the timing is awfully suspicious.
I dont know what else to try. Any ideas?
Thanks

If both devices are producing a wireless network, there is an increased chance of wireless interference between them, especiallyi if they are located in the same room. If you normally only one use one wireless network, it would make sense to turn the other one off.

Firewall RV 220W reboots every day

English
Hello, like the tittle says every day at leats once this firewall restarts, and when all the services are up again the router doesn´t give any ip to the lapstops in the lan, so i need to reboot the firewall one more time ( and that takes about two minutes each time) and then it works.
I would like to know why this happing to this device.
Spanish:
Hola, como el titulo dice este firewall se reinicia por lo menos una vez al día, y cuando todos los servicios están arriba nuevamente, el router no da ip a ninguno de los laptops dentro de la red local, así que es necesario reiniciarlo una vez más ( y eso toma alrededor de 2 minutos cada vez)y después de eso funciona.
Me gustaría saber por que sucede eso en este dispositivo.
Saludos

I too had a similar situation with that router doing random reboots. I saved all configuration information, did a hard factory reset, then installed the latest firmware 1.0.5.8 and re-entered all the configuration settings BY HAND. Do not restore the configuration file from the prior setup. (Very important according to Cisco). Be sure to reboot after entering all the configuration settings.
It has operated rock solid after that with no errors logged or unwanted reboots.
Hope this helps.

Wrt600n connectivity loss requiring router reboot every day

the fun never stops with this router. i have to say that out of the 5 previous AP's / routers, this one has had more issues than the previous 5 combined.
at any rate, i am now seeing the ap lose all network connectivity every day, or every other day at best. i have to then reboot the thing, and the cycle repeats.
has anyone else seen this behavior, and if so any suggestions on how to fix it?

Have you tried to upgrade the firmware of your Router, If not then you can upgrade the firmware of your Router and i think this might solve the 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..
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...

WRT54GL disconnects frequently, have to reboot every day. Help?!

Hi All,
I'm quite tech savvy having been in IT for over 10 years, but my WRT54GL has always given me some trouble, but since updating to the latest firmware I now have to reboot it daily. I have downloads going overnight and by the time the morning comes, none of the computers can connect wirelessly and even the wired connection can't ping the router, so I unplug it and plug it back in and it works for a while, but by the next morning it all happens again. I set the MTU per the solution/instructions here: http://linksys.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/linksys.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=4031&lid=
(1300, ISP pinged at 1272 and but nit higher) but it doesn't seem to have helped. Any tips?
Thanks!
B

Check the firmware version from the status page of the router ...if required upgrade download the latest firmware from http://linksys.com/download ... After upgrade reset & reconfigure the router ..

My airport express needs to be rebooted every day, what's wrong?

Does the fact that I have a router and the airport express cause some redundancy?

SRW2024 rebooting every 50 days

HELLO WORLD
We have two SRW2024 which has a strange behavior. both of them rebooting exactly every 50 days.we face everytime a short outage of the network traffic.
Model Name   SRW2024
Hardware Version   00.03.00
Boot Version   1.0.1
Firmware Version   1.2.2
Is this a known issue? In the support section I found a firmware 1.2.2b. I cant find any release notes and I'm asking myself, if this FW version would solve this automated reboot?

Hello Ivor
thank your asking back.
I'll post the case number tomorrow. in the meantime I'd like to answer your questions :
Issue 1 - reboot every 50 days issue
- Based on the information that was provided it appears that you have a syslog server. Does the syslog server log every 50 days a startup syslog message (for example: %INIT-I-Startup: Cold Startup)?
>>> After I figured out the issues for the first time I configured the Switch for sending the mesages to our log server. yesterday was day 25 as I posted my last message. the Issue 2 happens and I need to wait now another 50 days.
- How is the system uptime measured (which tool, how does the tool measure it)?
>>> the system uptime is measured with cacti.net monitoring by using the SNMP read community OID .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0
- Configuration of the device
>>> the switch has no special configuration. just used as a plain (unmanaged) switch within a LAN. the switch is used in a audio streaming environment. we produce corporate webradio streams for our customer. therefore the switch is used 24/7 with a average load of 20 Mbit/s output on port g1 to the Firewall >>> WAN Switch >>> ISP Backbone
- The content of the memory & flash logs
>>>> I currently won't login again, because I fear of another reboot. the switch is in productive environment and another forced cold startup will cause streaming interrupts for our customers ! I try to access with a IE6 standalone installation from Multiple IE (http://tredosoft.com/Multiple_IE) and keep you posted on that
- Is there some kind of automatic process in the network that occurs every 50 days?
>>> no automatic processes within the LAN
Issue 2 - fatal error
- Which build of IE 8 is used?
>>> the latest after updating from IE7 to IE8 (MS update function) : Version 8.0.6001.18702
- Are there any plugins in IE 8?
>>> just two plugins automaticly installed from Java are installed see below :

- Was there any change in IE 8 from default configuration?
>>> No
- Does it always happen when logging in, or did it happen just once?
>>> It happens just once. before sometimes I was not able to see something in the browser. the web management site stayed in blue. the same behavior as already reported here in the forum.
- Did it happen immediately when logging in, or did it happen after navigating to a certain page / between pages?
>>> I loged in and navigated to the System log site.
My boss wants to replace the both switch by HP ProCurve switches if this happens frequently. So I cant promise that we keep this switches for another 50 days. I'll open a case number anyway and keep you informed

I use shockwave flash in a platform for my work and every day it seizes up. I have to reboot the p.c. and reload the platform. Help !!!

I utilize a trading platform for my work on a daily basis. They use shockwave flash in this platform. Every day it slows and then seizes up everything. I have to reboot my p.c. manually and then reload the platform. I have had my p.c. checked, talked to the IT people for the platform and everything comes back to flash. I've even uninstalled and re installed the program. It is a very annoying and causes major problems.
Help please.

Hello this is happening to us also (minus the Bluetooth speaker). We can't figure out what is causing the data usage. I turned off mobile data as soon s I activated the device, and got the message that unless I am connected to WiFi.....(that is exactly what I wanted). We watched Netflix for about three hours, then the alerts started. Like you we have many devices connected and never used over 2GB now all of a sudden we have used it in a matter of hours. My husband called Verizon and got the usual doubting Thomas response. I understand that they don't know my device settings. So over the phone we check all the settings and turned off every possible culprit eating up the data and end the call. By now I have purchased another gig for the month! Assured we are NOT using mobile data, we continue on the IE path to bliss. HA! A few hours later I check the mobile data usage on the Verizon website and that darn thing is still using data. After two more phone calls and two VERY uneventful trips to the local store we were told to take out the sim card. This has stopped the data usage, but it defeats the purpose of having the data plan. I could have just stuck with my Surface. Verizon sent us a new sim card. Its been installed and I have set my homepage to Verizon mobile data usage (just kidding) but I am on that site a lot. I am surprised at the number of complaints about this device. When we called the Verizon support acted as though this was the first time they had heard about this. Loved your post, you should write for a living.

SPA112 Reboot every 72 hours (3 days) exactly.

Hi,
I have a Cisco SPA112 which connects to a 3CX server. I also have addional phones, inluding Cisco SPA504G phones.
The issue I have is the SPA112 reboots every 3 days, exactly to the minute. This has happened 3 times now. The 504G is fine (40+ days uptime)
Nothing has changed on the provisioning of the ATA, when I do change things it reboots at 02:00 as expected, so I don't think this is related to reprovisioning.
I can provide more information e.g. logs if required, but thought I'd initially check if there is possibly a setting somewhere that I am unaware of that would cause this reboot every 72 hours exactly.
Thanks in advance,
Marcus

As you can see the elapsed time is 35 mins, this ties in with the reboot event.

Have to "Set up Bluetooth Device" for wireless trackpad and keyboard almost every day

Almost every day when I turn on my MacBook Air in my home office, my Apple wireless keyboard and trackpad do not automatically reconnect. They used to connect just fine when I was in the viscinity, but now (for the past 6 months or so) I almost always have to:
Bluetooth > Set up Bluetooth Device
Turn off the keyboard (hold down the power button for several seconds)
Turn the keyboard back on (hold down power button for several seconds)
Go through the setup wizard
Repeat for the trackpad
Things that don't work:
Pressing the button on each Bluetooth device
Restarting each Bluetooth device
Turning Bluetooth on and off
Setting the Bluetooth devices as "Favorites"
Selecting the device from the Bluetooth menu item and clicking "Connect"
Rebooting my MacBook Air
Resetting the NVRAM / PRAM
Once the device is connected for the day, I do appear to be able to "Disconnect" and then "Connect" again from the Bluetooth menu item. The devices will also automatically reconnect by pressing a button on them. It just appears to lose the "lease" on them or whatever after a little less than a day.
I'm trying to think of other troubleshooting steps I could take and it just occurred to me that I could try swapping them with the peripherals I use at work (which are possibly newer models, but otherwise identical). Any other suggestions?

Huzzah! Less than 1 week after finally getting fed up and posting this question, I have discovered the root cause - my wife had been inadvertently stealing my keyboard and mouse connection whenever she turned on her laptop! She's using my hand-me-down MacBook Pro which I thought I had reset, but apparently it remembered its Bluetooth connections.
I had suspected something similar since I occasionally used the wireless keyboard with my iPad, but had already ruled that out.
I can't believe I figured this out after 6 months of mild frustration, but just days after posting this question

I need to reset my time capsule/airport every day - time capsule has green light but I don't see any wifi signal on my mac and other computers.

as many of you do, I use time capsule as airport, too...
It worked fine for 6 months or so after I bought the new time capsule. (I bought it in September 2012.)
Since the beginning of this year, I had to reset, and power off and plug it in almost every week, then now I need to reset and power off and back on again every day...
When I first set up the time capsule, I followed the instruction with the manual.
But, now I am so lost and don't want to reset every day for wifi connection.
Anyone has problem like me or knows how to solve this issue?
Please help..
I have MacBook Pro OS X 10.8.4 & my roommates have PCs. (just in case if it helps...)

For PC it is important the wireless has names that are compatible.. short.. like 10 characters.. but 2-20 is fine. no spaces.. and pure alphanumeric.
Use WPA2 personal only.. with pure alphanumeric password .. again 10-20 characters should be fine.
The latest firmware is a dud. Go back to 7.6.1
Open the airport utility.. click on the TC and holding the option key click the actual version number..
Go back to 7.6.1 is simple.. just select it and away it will go.. ignore future requests for upgrade.. you can also tell the utility not to check weekly for updates. You will need 5.6 utility for this I think..
So do the firmware downgrade.
Then do a factory reset and follow the name information above.. for TC name as well btw.. wireless name/s and disk share name.. which by default is data and that is fine.
So some instructions in...
The Factory Reset.
Power down the TC.
Hold in reset. and keep holding it in. Be Gentle! It is a tiny surface mount switch with a plastic lever.. Attempting to push it out the other side of the TC will not make the switch turn on better.
(I fix TC and have several reset levers bent over and jammed or broken off).
Power on the TC.. remember with the reset held in.. this needs three arms.. a friend or power switch you can get to with your feet..
Keep holding in reset for about 10sec until the front LED flashes rapidly.
Release reset and wait .. the boot will be slow as it deletes previous setting.. only from router side and pulls out the factory defaults. No files are deleted on the hard disk.. but the name of the TC may change.
How to load 5.6 into ML.
1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
Leave the package open on the desktop so you can see the file. AirportUtility56.pkg
2. Download and install unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Run unpkg on the desktop.. If your Mac refuses to run the software, because it wasn’t downloaded from the Apple store, go to security in preferences and allow other software to work.. this is limitation of trade methinks. You can set back later if you like.
Now drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. in finder, open the new directory, drill down.. applications, utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
You cannot uninstall version 6 (now 6.3 if you updated) so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. although I have had no problems when doing so.
You can also load airport utility into a pc and get access to all the settings. Untick the box for firmware updates.. it will still bug you occasionally.. regardless of the setting.. just ignore it..
You might still need to do the occasional reboot of the TC as well.

HH5A Rebooting every day.
