I'm stumped on this one. WRT110 drops Internet connectivity with Windows 7.

I've had my router for a good 4 years now. I have Time Warner RoadRunner for my ISP. Running Windows 7 on my laptop, and have several devices connected at different times via wireless. 
I was having Internet dropouts multiple times per day. Powering down the router for about 10 seconds fixed it until the next one. I figured the router was dying, so I bought a new one. Had the exact same issues, so I returned the router and kept the WRT110. Next step was to swap out my cable modem. I got the newest one they had (which is a Cisco). This still did not fix the problem. So I put up with it. FYI - this is not a modem issue. Many times I have checked to make sure I have Internet connectivity via a direct connect to the modem, and it has always had a steady Internet connection, even when the router has dropped Internet.
Then one day my hard drive crashed on my laptop. I decided to throw Ubuntu on my new hard drive. I ran it for a month or more, and I noticed that the Internet dropouts almost completely went away. I didn't have to get up and reset the router every hour or two. Well after getting a bit tired of Ubuntu, I re-installed Windows 7, and now the dropouts are back, and more annoying than ever. 
The only thing I can come up with is the wireless driver Windows is using is somehow affecting the router in the way it and the wireless adapter are talking. It seems to only drop Internet when I'm using the laptop. Even if I just have the laptop powered on, and I am trying to watch Netflix on my TV, or browse apps on my tablet, I will lose Internet.
Anybody have any suggestions? (I just lost Internet again while typing this, and I just reset it 15 minutes ago)

I suggest you to play around with the wireless settings on the router, Like changing the wireless name , channel and the type of wireless security.

Also, you check the firmware of the router by going to the status tab on  the interface.

  • WRVS4400N Drops Internet Connectivity with PORT SCAN

    I just installed a WRVS440N router and it appears that every time a PORT SCAN happens, the router just shuts down and drops Internet Connectivity for about a minute or two, then once the PORT SCAN is done everything seems back to nomal?
    I have heard many complaints about this router and wonder does anyone else have this issue?
    I also have very erratic Internet connections speeds and I turened off the IPS feature and that seems to help. I am running version 2.0.8 Firmware.
    If anybody has any tips or tricks to improve this router would like to hear. I can only say I regret buying this thing.

  • WRT54G dropping internet connectivity with Clearwire modem

    I recently switched ISPs from Comcast to Clearwire. I'm linking two laptops with v. 6 of a WRT54G, which I used successfully for a couple years with my comcast service. The Clearwire service is working ok, but lately every day, sometimes twice a day, my internet speed slows to a crawl and finally stops. While this degradation of connectivity occurs, my status bar on my computer shows good wireless connection at 54 mbps and I have 5 lights on the clearwire modem, indicating best signal. I can unplug the power to the router, then after 30 seconds or so when it boots back up, I'm back to full speed on the internet. This tells me (I think) that I have an issue with the router rather than my internet connection. I'm running the router in secure mode. Is this thing just getting sick and tired or do you think there is something to be tweaked here? Thanks.

    You need to Upgrade your router's firmware...
    Download the Firmware...
    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...It should work now without dropping the Internet Connection...

  • I have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on my MacBook. Constantly dropping internet connection or message "error connecting to the network" comes up. No wireless connectivity issues with windows 7 laptop or iphone.

    I have a MacBook with Snow Leopard 10.6.8. The last few weeks it has been constantly dropping internet connection, and one of these messages appear on the page: "Safari cannot open this page because the server where this page is located isn't responding" or "Safari cannot open this page because you are not connected to the internet" comes up. I will check Wifi and I am connected. No wifi connectivity issues with iphone or windows 7 laptop, this doesn't happen with either of those devices. I have unplugged and reset router, cleared cache, still happening. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

  • 2011 17" Macbook Pro constantly drops Wifi connection on Windows 7 but not OSX. What's going on???

    On OSX, the Wifi works perfectly. I rarely if ever get disconnected from the internet. However, when I switch over to Windows 7, the internet drops constantly (every 30 seconds or so).
    I recently updated my OSX to the newest one (I think Yosemite) that released in December, which wiped out my Windows 7 operating system. Thus, I reinstalled windows 7 on my computer and everything works just like it used to except for the internet dropping 24/7. The weird thing about it is that whenever I "diagnose" the internet connection when it drops, the internet seems to come back to life again (for the short 30 seconds that it's up). I'm not sure why it's doing this. The internet didn't drop constantly on my previous Windows 7 until I reinstalled it.
    The internet works fine with a different internet connection on Windows 7, which makes me think that the problem has to do with my internet or router... Has anyone had this problem? Restarting the router didn't do anything.

    Do yu have any other Macs running Yosemite on your WiFi Network?

  • AEBS Dropping Internet Connection q 45 minutes

    I have the new airport extreme base station. I bought it January and it has worked flawlessly for the past 6 months. recently, in the past week or so, I began getting a dropped internet connection happening every 45 minutes or so.
    About my set up:
    Cable modem supplying connection to AEBS via ethernet. VOIP box connected to AEBS via ethernet getting internet connection from AEBS. Playstation 3 connected via ethernet to AEBS. Airport Express base station linked to airport extreme base station wirelessly (of course) to share printer connection via USB. iBook G4 1.2ghz running Mac OSX 10.4.9
    Trouble Shooting.
    Originally I would unplug the cable modem for 30 seconds and plug it back in. This would reset the connection and i would have service again for 45 minutes. I decided to test whether or not it was the router or modem that was kicking me so I unplugged the ethernet cable coming from the modem to the AEBS and plugged it directly into my computer and turned off my airport connection, essentially hardwiring the ibook directly to the modem. I got kicked off again. At this point i drew the conclusion that it was the modem and contacted my cable company. After a bunch phone conversations that essentially accomplished nothing, they sent a tech out to my house. He replaced my old (3 years) cable with a brand new one to test out. I left my computer wired directly via ethernet to the new modem and this time DID NOT receive any drops in connection over a period of 4 hours. I reconnected the ethernet cable from the modem to the AEBS and reset my connection and decided to test out wireless. It dropped me again in 45 minutes. I left the cable modem connected to the AEBS via ethernet and unplugged the ethernet cable coming out of the AEBS that gos to my VOIP box and plugged my computer into the AEBS via ethernet and disconnected from airport on my computer. I was again dropped in 45 minutes. I reset my modem and unplugged the ethernet cable coming out of AEBS that gos to my Playstation 3. Again I was dropped within 45 minutes. After that, I reconnected both the PS3 and VOIP box ethernet cables and unplugged my computers ethernet cable from the AEBS and have just been using the wireless connection and resetting the modem every 45 minutes when it drops. Oh yeah and I forgot to mention that I plugged the Playstation 3 directly into the cable modem via ethernet and played online for 4 hours without interruption/disconnect. Anyways, I am back to square one. I believe based on the evidence above that the problem lies within the Airport Extreme base station router some how, but I have no idea what the problem is.
    What happens when my connection is dropped:
    I can be doing anything from using an instant messaging service to trying to load a web page using firefox or safari. Basically the page fails to load, i get a message saying it can't find the server. Usually at this point I will open up network utility and try to ping yahoo.com. It doesn't ping and says it can't find the server. I go to the modem and unplug the power for 30 seconds and replug it back in. As soon as everything back up I have my connection back.
    What the cable company did:
    They looked at their connections, including the fiber optic node for the area. They did not find any outages or problems within their system. They plugged my coxial cable into a modem/tester box (not sure exactly what it was) to evaluate signal received via coxial cable which they said was working properly. they checked my cable connection from house to street and didn't find any compromises in the wire/cable.
    I have downloaded and installed the latest firmware for my AEBS. I am out of ideas. Can anyone help?
    ibook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)
    ibook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    I had the same problem earlier this year with my cable carrier. At first I thought it was the modem so I replaced the Dlink with an Apple Extreme and it still kept happening. After some research on MacInTouch I found that using an earlier version of the base station software made the problem go away. So I never updated and all was well with the world. Till last week and now like you I am dropping connections every hour or so no matter what application I am running or what site I am on the internet.
    A friendly tech admitted to me that there was a problem with the way the modem communicates with the provider and that they were aware of the problem but that there was nothing he could do to help me.
    That is when I cured the problem temporarily by using the base station software from 2004. If I find an answer to the return of the problem I will post it. Please let me know if you find a solution.

  • Problem with Dropped Internet Connections on AE/Macbook

    I have a dual band Airport Extreme connected to Comcast Cable. I use a first generation Macbook to access the airport. The problem is that I keep on getting dropped Internet connections. The signal strength is shown at the top rhs of the screen as being full strength (4 bars).
    If I swap out the router for a Linksys WRT54G, running DD-WRT, the combination works perfectly without any dropped Internet connections. Also, If I connect the Linksys to the AE with the Linksys acting as a wireless client repeating the signal, then I can connect the Macbook to the Linksys again without any dropped internet connections.
    There is something about the Macbook connecting directly to the AE. It happens intemittantly but probably multiple times a day and is very inconvenient. The only way to get it back is to reboot the router or stop/start the aiport on the Macbook.
    I have tried just about every possible setup on the AE including splitting the 2.4 and 5Ghz radios into two separate ssid's and changing the channels. I am using the latest AE firmware. I have also taken the AE back to the Apple store and they have swapped it for a new one.
    I dont get the same issues with my windows clients or my ipad (although i have experienced issues while steaming video - but I think that may be a different issue).
    Any suggestions/advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Use the advice in this thread to investigate the signal and noise levels that the Mac sees:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2347845&start=1
    What you may see if an increase in noise when the connection drops.
    If that doesn't show anything useful, it might help to reset the connection settings on your Mac using these steps one at a time until the problem is resolved, recognizing that, depending on your problem, not all of these steps will make sense:
    1) Use the AirPort menu bar item to turn AirPort off, then on again.
    2) Try to select your Wi-Fi network from the AirPort menu.
    3) In the Network panel of System Preferences delete the AirPort item from the left column, then add it back.
    4) In the same panel as (3), define a new location and see if you can make that work.
    5) In the same panel, select the AirPort connection item, click the "Advanced" button, select the "TCP/IP" tab, then click "Renew DHCP Lease".  Note that the fix this step implements may be temporary.
    6) In the folder /Library/Preferences ( _not_ <yourhomefolder>/Library/Preferences), move the folder SystemConfiguration onto the Desktop, then restart your computer. See if you can now make your AirPort connection work.
    These steps may not help, but they'll only take a couple of minutes to try.  Before you try these, if you have any special network settings on your Mac for things like DSL credentials, note all your network settings, because the latter steps will destroy them.  If you got all the way to the last step, if things don't work any worse than before, you can trash the saved SystemConfiguration folder.

  • Extreme Base Station suddenly dropping internet connection

    I have an Extreme Base Station (802.11n Fast Ethernet) which has been providing wireless internet and printing to two imacs pretty flawlessly for several years. It seems to be a fairly simple network. DSL modem (to WAN port) and USB printer cable plugged into back of Base Station.
    Several days ago, the Base Station began dropping connection to the internet every few minutes. If I connect the modem directly into the computer, I have no problems with losing connection. So, I began looking for solutions online and have been trying everything I could find to do. I've scoured the forums here, and everywhere and read a bazillion posts.
    I've done a hard reset of the Base Station, I've tried different channels, I've unplugged, waited ten minutes, and replugged in a myriad of sequences, including unplugging both the modem (Zhone/Paradyne 6381-A3) and Base Station overnight. The only thing I haven't done is roll back the firmware (currently 7.4.2 I believe). I'm still experiencing the same problems and am at my wits end. I've spent hours now trying to fix it and need to do other things like shop for groceries and vacuum! So, I'm posting, in hopes someone might be able to point me in a more productive direction.
    Is it possible the Base Station hardware is failing? What are the signs and symptoms? I hate to spend another $179 and still have the same problems.
    Thank you.
    Most kindly,
    ---Susan

    Dear Bluenova - ( +or other interested readers+ )
    I know that this reply is two months since this topic was initially posted.
    This is a longstanding Airport Extreme ( AEBS ) problem that's been noted since 2006-2007.
    It has been an ongoing issue for me -AND- I continue to experience it even after recently upgrading my AEBS.
    I finally called AppleCare in mid-Sept. and opened a formal problem case report.
    As of today (Oct 15, 2010) I still have an open & unresolved case with AppleCare.
    The problem has been escalated twice -and- is now referred to Engineering Dept for research & resolution.
    I was curious what steps or actions you have taken -and/or- if you still experience the problem.
    _Readers Please Note_
    Many users have posted messages regarding problems with Airport Extreme *+DROPPING CONNECTIONS+* .
    However, with careful reading, it becomes obvious that many forum posters are not sufficiently clear
    -and- often confuse or do NOT make the distinction between ..... DIFFERENT TYPES OF CONNECTION PROBLEMS.

    If you suspect that you are having the *dropped internet connection* type problem,
    YOU CAN CHECK & WATCH IT HAPPENING IN THIS MANNER
    Set Airport in Menubar to *"SHOW TIME CONNECTED"*

    Open Airport Utility --> AIRPORT --> SUMMARY window
    .... and leave it visible somewhere on your screen while you web browse.
    Now, once the internet connection drops or is lost ...
    ... in the Airport Utility Summary window - you will see the loss of the assigned IP Address
    . *- and -*
    .... in the Menubar - the time connected will reset to 00:00:00
    If you have a new or ongoing problem that relates specifically to ....

    I would like to be able to correspond directly with others via email to share info
    (such as what modems, ISP's, time of day or conditions with which this problem has been found to occur)
    I will then be glad to pass that info on to AppleCare in trying to find a cause (and solution) for this problem.
    If this issue was treated collectively maybe AppleCare would address it with more resolve & urgency.
    I'll check back with this thread for replies from other interested users.

  • HP 8600 all in one Printer Scanner to Computer with Windows 8

    i can not get the printer to reconize the Computor i want to scan to  i Have HP Printer 8600 all in one printer and HP computor with Windows 8 (wireless)

    Hello Stringfield, and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I see you are experiencing scan issues.  I would like to help.
    I would suggest performing a power reset on the printer.  Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
    I would then recommend downloading and running the HP Print and Scan Doctor.
    Please let me know the results.  Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

    Hello.
    Since Updating to 10.9.5 Safari and the App Store drop internet connection periodically while other apps Mailplane and Epic Browser continue to work ?
    Never had this problem previously running a Macmini Server 2010 with the latest Mavericks Updates
    Tried reinstalling over my existing OS and seemed ok until I once again updated to the latest security and Safari updates
    Any ideas ?
    Using ethernet but wireless acts same,

    I also forgot to note that this problem also persists with the new iBooks application. I cannot get past the 'Get Started' screen or access the iBooks Store. Again, all top bar menus are unresponsive.

    I bought CS4 a while back, and only loaded it one time on a PC with Windows XP operating system. I understand I can load it 2 times. Will it work if I load it on Windows 8?

    You won't know until you try. These older versions were never extensively tested or certified on Win 8, but it should work for the most part iuf you follow the necessary procedures liuek turning off UAC and otehr fancies that may get in the way.

  • Hi my airport router ( ateast i think this is where the problem originates) has been turning off intermittenly for the past week, when it does this NO devices recieve internet connection, mac, pc,iphone, ipad, wireless or hardwired directly to the router

    Hi my airport router ( ateast i think this is where the problem originates) has been turning off intermittenly for the past week, when it does this NO devices recieve internet connection, mac, pc,iphone, ipad, wireless or hardwired directly to the router. However they all show to be connected with their corresponding bars and the ip's are all fine. Earlier today it started flucuating on and off about every 5 min making work impossible and now it seems to be completely broken (im currently on my iphone connected though its own internet) Does anyone know how or ehy this happened and how i can fix this? And to know if this originates from the router or something else entirely. Thank you!

    Hi - some clarifications would help narrow down some symptoms - just what has been turning off? - has the light been solid green but the modem isn't providing wi-fi? - or is the light flashing yellow with no internet? - which can mean several things - does the light go out completey? - so if you can report on exactly what is happenening and when, maybe someone can help you - we also need to know if there any error messages along the way -  we also need the types of devices involved and how they are attached - kind of like a nework map  - the more info that you provide, the more answers you will get.
    Regards,
