E3200 - signal strength dropped

I'm a longtime fan of Linksys equipment. But my last 2 Linksys routers have been terrible. This one worked great for about 3 weeks then the signal strength dropped so low that you have to be within 10 feet of it to connect most of the time. The signal strength is unstable and will disconnect you in the middle of important downloads. I wasn't able to get into the setup last week and ended up rebuilding it using the software. Today I am unable to get into the setup again. I don't have time to dink around with it and am on my way to the store to buy a different brand. NO MORE CISCO/LINKSYS FOR ME!

Before I suggest you any troubleshooting steps, I would like to ask few questions. Let me know the light status on the router? What is the current IP address on the computer? How frequently does it happen?
All the E series routers come with the great Cisco connect software for the easy installation. Before installing the router, make sure that your Internet is working properly through the modem. Connect your computer directly to the modem and try to go on line.
If you are able to access the Internet from the modem, then your Internet is working properly. Now insert the CD in to the same computer. Do not run the CD on any other computer. Use the same computer that you used to connect to the modem. Follow the steps of the CD. It may not ask you to connect the computer to the router. But it is recommended that you should connect your computer to the router for the initial set up of the router. You will need to connect the computer to one of the Ethernet port on the router and the modem to the Internet port on the router. That means there will be 2 connections to the router. Now go to the next step on the set up CD. It will take up to 5 minutes to set up the router. Definitely you can setup the router without CD also. You just need to open the setup page of the router and change the settings manually.
Here is the link for setting up the Router through Cisco Connect: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=93&login=1&vw=1&app=search&articleid=22732&userrole=Links...
Second, there are many reasons why you experience poor signal or connection. Well, there are few things you should keep in mind with regards to N routers:
1) For the best possible speeds, you need to be using WPA2-AES as your security mode. Any other security mode will see your speed/range capped.
2) Ensure that your router is running the latest firmware from homesupport.cisco.com The new firmware includes performance enhancements and fixes.
3) The router by default uses a channel setting of auto, which means that it would keep switching channels depending on the interference. I’d recommend you set it to a fixed channel. Usually, 1, 3, 6 and 9 give you the best performance depending on your environment of course. I’d suggest you try different channels, observing each for a while, to see which gives you the best performance. You can follow the link here on how to change channels.
Second, please verify that you have got a 802.11n card in your computer. New generation routers (i.e. E4200) speaks an entirely different language with 802.11g cards, so while those adapters can work with the E4200, but they are not optimized to provide good performance. It is like having to translate from one language to another in real time when going from N to G.

Signal strength dropping.

Over a period of some 12 hours wireless signal strength drops from 15 to 5. On restart it goes back to 15. What is causing this please?

That is a very good question. If your problem were caused by some external interference I would not expect it to come right back.

I updated to IOS 5 and now my signal strength drops sometimes clear to zero when I open an app.

I updated my Iphone 4 with the IOS 5 operating system. When I use an application, including the phone app, my signal strength bars will drop from 4 or 5 bars to 1 bar and sometimes to no bars and searching for a signal. When I exit the app the bars return tto what they were before. I have an AT&T plan that operates in Mexico which is where I am now. In Mexico it operates on the TelCell network. Before updating the op system I had no problems with the signal strength dropping when I used an app.

Hello timfromharris,
Have you gone to your date and time settings and verified that "set automatically" has been checked?
If you don't know where to go, it's Settings -> General -> Date and Time.
Good luck!

Network signal strength drops radically when i connect my comp to my displa

Hi
I have full network signal strength on my mac book pro, then when i connect to my cinama display the signal strength drops by over 75% , why would it do this ?

Are you using a static IP addressing on the phone?

Bandwidth usage/signal strength/dropped signal WRT160nv2

Three questions
1. How can I determine how much bandwidth each of my network devices are using. Is there anyway to tell using Linksys easylink which is installed on my machine? I have a WRT160nv2 router.
2. Is there anyway to boost signal strength through internal settings. If so, how do I do that.
3. Been experiencing dropped signal for some wireless devices. Is there any way to determine why this happens and is there a fix for this problem.
thanks

1. Sorry no.
2. Sorry no.
3. Change these settings in the router. Disable UPnP, under wireless settings Beacon Interval 50, RTS and Fragmentation threshold 2304. Change to channel 1. Save settings. Reconnect.

IPhone 4s Signal Strength decreases after updating to iOS 6.1.2

Hi,
Yesterday, I have updated my iPhone 4s to iOS 6.1.2 and the signal strength decreased from 5 bars to 2 bars. All of my phones at home with the same GSM provider shows 5 bars (full) and my iPhone 4s swings between 2 and 3 bar. Prior iOS 6.1.2 this was never the case. I would really appreciate if the developers at Apple can fix the problem as soon as possible. The low signal increase the battery consumption too.
Waiting for your feedback.
Kind regards,
Cengiz Kuskaya

hi
have the same problem on my iPhone4 & iPhone4s both have iOS6.1.2 .
very low signal after upgrade from iOS5.1.1 to 6.1.2 .

How to improve signal strength of TC ?

I have replaced my Linksys WRT54G Router yesterday with my TC 1TB.
Setup was a little bit confusing and not Apple like as i expected. However i got TC running with the following setup:
-) the TC is connected to my broadband modem and my main imac via ethernet. TC stands on the floor in the corner of our dinning room.
-) via airport i connected the MB and my second imac
-) Airport connection is set to "802.11n only 2,4 Ghz" with 22 Mbit/s
-) I get good signal strength from TC via my Macbook (located in the same room)70% singal strength according to istumbler
-) i get only 40% signal strength on my new imac which is located 2 rooms away - doors are usually closed between the rooms, and the roomwalls are 15-20 cm brick walls. On my systemmonitor i see max 2 MBit/s transfer rate sometimes even less.
Question:
How can i improve the signal strength of TC? Where is the best place to put it in a room ? Should i avoid placing it on the floor ?
Any other suggestions are welcome

Channel selection can make all the difference, 1 , 6 and 11 are the most widely used by professionals because they have less interference from the other channels. But they are widely used so two AP's can interfere with each other if they are on the same channel and in range of your devices. 2-5, 7-10 are garbage channels, too much interference (can tell from a good sniffer card)...stick with 1 or 11 which ever is less used (or not at all) in your area and mount it as high as you can and centered in the area you are providing coverage for. I found the TC uses its auto-setting pretty well, I have a lot of channels 1 and 6 in my neighborhood and it has always been on 11 when I check its status.
Also walls, doors, metal, windows, coordless phones (2.4Ghz) or 5Ghz) and microwaves all cause signal loss and interference. The density of the material will attribute how much loss there is so yes, brick will cause signal loss.

1242AP how to check signal strength

I have a 1242 set up as a bridge tied to a solid dish. About 3 miles away I have 3 yagis set up as a non bridge working fine. I set a forth yagi say 800 ft away from a working yagi and the siginal works for a few minutes and then shuts down so I mounted a 50 ft. tower same problem so i replaced the yagi with a solid dish yesterday and my connection lasted the day and this morning it was down again.
There has to be a way to see the signal strength but I don't see it in the configuration. I swaped the unit with the one at a working location and it works just fine. The only thing I haven't done is try a different cable. I'm using a 100ft premade cable from Cisco.
Any help is greatly appriciated
Thanks

show dot11 associations all
typically shows signal strength, and SNR along with a few otehr details when users connect.. While i have no experience with bridges, i would expect that this would have the same effect.
Hope it works for you.

Broadband signal keeps dropping after upgrade

Ok, I recently upgraded my broadband from BT Total Broadband to Unlimited Broadband extra, where I also upgrade from HH3 to HH4. Since the upgrade I have noticed that my signal bars have been dropping on my PC, iPad & PS3 every couple of minute from full 5 bars to 4. This was never a problem before. It just fluctuates all the time.
I have tried changing channels using the smart wireless function, but this hasnt solved it.
The HH4 is in the exact location where my HH3 was, so shouldnt be the place of the hub causing the drops.
My knowledge is very limited on this subject, but I have never had this problem before.

a fluctuation of 5 to 4 bars should not cause a problem to your wireless devices. if you change channel then you woul change to manual and select your preferred wifi channel. if that is what you want then I would use inssider from metageek and that will show wifi ssids round about you and the free channels.. you can then select a free channel and change the channel in the hub and see if that helps

How come two signals of the same frequency show on the graph as having the same?

Hi!
My assignment for school is to build a 2 channel oscilloscope, with generators too. Initially, I tried using a waveform chart, that actually showed a very "ugly" image. Just for testing, I left the chart there with hidden indicator.
The student teacher suggested I use a graph, which is ok, as far as the shape of the signal. The "time" axis however doesn't really show the time.
Thinking that it might show the samples, I put at the "nr.of samples" the reciprocal of the sampling rate multiplied with 1000,000 and the result was the same. The really strange part is that if I'd put two different frequencies for each channel it showed as is the signals had the same frequency.
And that's not the only problem... The while loop everything is in doesn't look like it's executing more than once. Now, I know the vi is pretty large but is that what makes it behave like that?
I also put cursors (like in the example from Fundamentals> Graphs and Charts > Programatically Control Cursors) that should be in the middle of the graph. Since I didn't use a chart, are the values at "Style" or "Pointer Style" different? (I wanted the cursors to be multi-plot).
Can you help me with any of that?
Thank you very much!
Patricia

Hi Patricia !
First of all, I would suggest you to synchronize all actions according to data flow concept : try to link all property nodes with error wires... That way, you MAY notice some warnings/errors. Then you should try to group functionalities into clusters, that way your code would be easier to debug...
Then your While Loop runs as fast as possible (which makes your processor to run at 100% all time long), you should consider using a timing function to slow down the loop.
Then using "Graphs", the X-axis will display the number of samples in the array to plot. If you know the sampling frequency of your signal and the number of samples in the array, you can try use "Xaxis.Multiplier" property node to convert the number of samples into time.
Then for your cursors, you should consider using "Cursos List" property node... It's not really cool to program it (lot of options) but it works very well and allows you to deeply customize your cursors.
I hope this helps... Otherwise, don't hesitate to post another message !

How come search engines still disappear after localstore.rdf is reset?

Well I keep adding Google and such to my search bar but with every start of Firefox they disappear again. I have already deleted the localstore.rdf and did a complete reinstall of Firefox but it has not helped

You can search on the <b>about:config</b> page to see if there are still prefs that link to delta-search and reset them via the right-click context menu.
If you do not keep changes after a restart or otherwise have problems with preferences, see:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
You can also edit the prefs.js file in the Firefox profile folder with Firefox closed and removed those lines.

I tried downloading it (i already have the Creative cloud app) but i can't seem to have it successfully down load. What should i do?

What exactly? What errors? What is happening? You need to be more specific.

Audio Drops after 6.0.5 Upgrade

I've been setting up a 3-node AirTunes network, and after it was all done I decided to upgrade from iTunes 4.7 to 6.0.5.
This completely trashed my streaming to remote speakers - I got frequent audio drops that make the music unlistenable.
So, sez I, "it's time for the Graphite ABS to go - let's go all 802.11g finally. And, just to be sure, let's get an external antenna".
So, I bought an Airport Extreme Base station and antenna.
Now, the problem is worse than ever.
I used to listen happily to music over AirTunes from iTunes 4.7. No drops.
Now, it doesn't work at all.
Any thoughts?

Are you sure it is an Airport issue rather than iTunes truncating your music files?
Songs that used to play through to the end are now stopping after an indeterminate length of time (different for each song file, though AAC ITMS downloads seem to play without a hitch) for me.
I have tried many things to cure my problem but do not have a fix yet.
Or do your songs play as they should within iTunes but only cause you problems within the AirTunes set up. Ignore AirTunes for now and just concentrate on iTunes to determine if the fault lies within this application rather than your wireless set up.

GPS keeps dropping after KitKat (4.4) upgrade on Galaxy S3

Since my 4.4 upgrade last month, my GPS drops quite often - pretty much every time I use it. It seems to happen either with the delivered navigation or maps, as well as with Waze. I've tried pulling the battery - no luck. Any other suggestions?

Oh no Eugene78, I apologize that took place. You're correct, this usually doesn't occur and it sounds as if the SD card was corrupted. There are no suggested steps to recover the media. Are you currently having issues with stored data. If so, please send me a direct message with your mobile number so I may further assist! Thank you.
