Intermittent Connection with WRT120N router

Hi, I recently bought a WRT-120N router a week ago for my friends and I to use the internet wirelessly. The package I got supposed to give me speeds up to 25Mbps but I can only access these speeds when I'm directly connected to the router via a cable. When I try to connect wirelessly the connection cuts off every 5 mins or so and the speed is less than a fifth of what it's supposed to be even when my computer is the only one on the network. I want to be able to allow everyone equal access to the full speeds when connected wirelessly and not have it cut off every 5 mins. Also, the wireless internet seems to work better for everyone else when I'm connected using the cable but I want to have it in such a way that even when I'm not there everyone can still access the full speeds. I've tried changing the channel for the router and changing the default i.p. so far. Please help. Thanks in advance.

It seems that the wireless connection might be dropping on your router.
Try to upgrade/re-flash the firmware on the router. Download the latest firmware of the router from the Linksys website.
While upgrading the firmware of the router, your computer must be connected to the router with the Ethernet cable. 
Open the router configuration page. Go to the Administration tab and click on Firmware upgrade sub tab. Browse the Firmware file that you have already downloaded on your computer and upgrade the firmware on your router.
After upgrading the firmware of the router, it is recommended that you should reset the router and reconfigure the router.
Press and hold the reset button on the router for 10 seconds. Release the reset button and wait for 10 seconds. Power cycle the router. Now reconfigure the router.

  • Not able to connect with my router, but other networks work ok.

    I have a 2d generation iPod Touch. I can't connect to my home network that operates on a DLink DIR-628 router. However I can connect to other access points with no trouble at all. When my iPod tries to connect with my router, it asks for my password and I enter the password I think is correct, but it won't accept it. When I check the router web page there is no password visible. Does the problem lie with the Router or with the iPod Touch? I have three other computers and two wireless printers that are operating through the router with no problem at all.

    Have you tried:
    - Resetting your iPod:
    - Resetting network settings on the iPod: Setting>General>reset>Reet Network Settins
    - Powering off and then back on your router

  • How can i fix my wifi connection with my router

    how can i fix my wifi connection with my router?

    I think I'm having a similar problem, my wifi disconnects when a bluetooth device is connected to the MBA. 
    I have a MacBook Air (13-inch, Mid 2012) with WiFi and Apple Trackpad.  I'm unable to use the trackpad(bluetooth) and wifi at the same time.  If I turn off the trackpad then the wifi works fine and if I shutoff the wifi then the trackpad works fine.  This configuration was working fine prior to upgrading to Yosemite.
    I experienced the same problem at home and at the office.
    Additional test:
    I turned off the bluetooth trackpad and connected my bluetooth headphones to the MBA.  The wifi disconnected as soon as I paired the headphones with the MBA.
    I have had no problems with the MBA's keyboard or integrated trackpad.

  • Loss of connection with Belkin router

    I have been using a Belkin N450DB router with my Westell modem for over 2 months. Everything was fine until 4 days ago when my router lost connection. I have tried the self heal with the router and the troubleshooting with the modem. I currently have internet with just the modem hooked up but have lost connection 3-4 times this way over the past 4 days. I have no connection with the router connected now. It says wire unplugged. I was thinking it was the router but have found out another DSL customer in my town has the exact same issue and he has a different router.  Did Verison reset some security programs that won't allow my router to connect or is Verison DSL having issues we are not aware of in Greenwood, DE?  It is just strange that two residences are experiencing the same issues in different areas.

    #1 What is the model of that Westell modem?

    are you saying that the router says that or are you saying your OS (and Version - for example Windows XP) is saying that?

  • Why my  IPAD2  sometimes loose connection with my router and I need to enter again the WPA password?

    Why when my IPAD2 loose connection with the router sometime I need to enter again WPA2 password?

    same problem here.
    MBA (latest os), even my ip5 (latest ios) & ipm (also latest ios) looses the connecntion.
    Ive tried to figure out what causes the problem - neither my xbox360 nor (and i guessed they will be the problem) the pcs here...
    the connecntion runs well.. switching also (MBA-IP5-IPM).. but not for longer than an hour.. or even minutes. When the connection looses a high-frequency noise is followed by silence. A restart fix that problem and all devices streaming well... but not for long...
    any suggestions?

  • Intermittent connectivity with router

    I have a Belkin N wireless router. I used to have a Linksys wireless B. Both of these routers seem to have the same issue, or so I believe. When connected to the router, wired or wirelessly my internet connectivity is very intermittent. Sometimes the pages load lightening fast then I'll click another link and it will hang for about a minute then load the page the way dial up modems used to. It does it intermittently with any page I go to its not site specific.
    I removed the modem from the router and plugged it directly to my Mac Mini and it works perfectly. By the way I also have a Tivo, an iPhone and two laptops on the same network. They are all connected wirelessly and work flawlessly. It also does not matter if the other computers are connected or not the same issues occur.

    I forgot to mention that sometimes when its hanging on one page I can click another link and it will load instantaneously. This must be the most frustrating think I've ever encountered on a computer.

  • Can't connect to internet wirelessly with WRT120N router

    ok, it's nearly 4am and i've been trouble shooting this problem since 11pm... love the technology, but it completely evil...
    let me start off by saying i'm not too tech savy. took a couple computer courses in high school and thought it was my passion but they got way above my head in college, so i settled for art (those classes are much easier to pass as long as you draw your homerwork, don't blow up your sculpture etc etc)
    anywho, i bought a brand new computer today since i play wow and my old computer was nearing on a decade old and had nearly a dozen manufactury resets from all the viruses from downloaded music. i don't know the make of the new computer (just spent like five minutes looking over the box and it doesn't seem to say) and i literally walked into best buy and walked right up to the computer department store head and said, "which computer should i buy to play wow on for less than $600." he thought for like thirty seconds and pointed to an ASUS and i immediately bought it. took it home, watched tv for a couple hours, then went to set it up since i had a raid in like two hours, thinking, "brand new computer, nothing's gonna go wrong!..." 
    well it did. my router gives me grief from time to time, so i spent the first hour unplugging, resetting, refreshing (i think that's what the button by the blue lights that has the circling arrows does) and nothing. so then off to the interweb since... oh! this might be important! the one computer i'm on now that has a hardwired connection is running normally, not great, normally. and i just checked my mom's ipad, it's on the network too. my phone, a samsung galaxy s 4 had been connected since i had it, and decided to stop connecting when at least until i noticed i couldn't connect my new desktop and my gf's phone, an iphone 4 wouldn't connect either... in total, i think there's one wired desktop connection, my fail wireless desktop connection, wireless laptop that hasn't been opened in months, an at&t signal booster, an ipad, and 4 phones that connect when they feel up to it. my old iphone 4 i ran on 3g because it was more reliable than my wireless. there's never more than 3 devices running at once. i've seen a few threads mentioning too many devices on one network. could that be it? i hope not. we have comcast as a provider too, if that helps.
    oh, and maybe i should describe my problem more clearly. on my phone, when i go to the wifi settings, it still list my network as one i'm linked too, it's just "not in range" and my new desktop can't see it at all. pretty sure it's not a hidden ssid because i connected my phone to it recently and had no probs. also, i'm fairly, but by no means 100%, certain that it's not the wireless card in the computer because i can see a few other networks and my phone had already been on it without giving me problems until earlier today. 
    if you know how to help, please be thorough in explaining it, and if i need to give more info, i'll try my damnest. please please please!!! help me, i spent all my money on this **bleep** computer and don't have anymore to buy another new router.

    Hi there. To start, that blue button that you have been pressing on the router is the Wifi Protected Setup button. You press that button when you want to connect a new wireless device that supports Wifi-Protected Setup to connect to the wireless internet via your wireless router without having to enter anything on the new wireless device. So it means, you did not reset the router. I would like to verify with you though because it is not clear to me (sorry), how do you want your new desktop computer to work? Wirelessly or with Ethernet cable plugged-in? If it is for wireless, you will only need to connect the computer’s wireless connection to the router wireless network and to enter the wireless password if you have wireless security enabled on the router. Also, the router should be able to provide simultaneously internet connection to multiple devices – be it wired or wireless. Sometimes the reason why the wireless would not work is when there is wireless interference in the area that you will need to change its wireless channel to something else. To have wireless security enabled on the router is helpful as well in making sure that the router will provide a better connection speed.

  • Http 403 error message when connecting to WRT120n router

    I recently upgraded to the WRT120n router at home. I quickly connected my desktop computer, my wife's Mac and two Lenovos, but my son's HP Pavilion cannot access the Internet. It returns the http 403 error message. Windows (Vista) and Network Magic tell me the laptop is connected to the router and the Internet, but the browser does not work. Have tried IE, Chrome and Firefox - same result. Have also tried to connect with cable. Hooking up wirelessly with WPA, was no problem, but the browser is unable to access the Internet.
    Grateful for any help.

    What is the ip address you are getting on the Vista Computer..?
    Click Start >> All Programs >> Accessories >> Command Prompt...A black box will appear(Command Prompt)...In the Command Prompt window type ipconfig and press 'Enter'...Look for Wireless Network Connection IP Address , Subnet Mask and Default Gateway...
    IP Address should be 192.168.1.x, Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1 (assuming your router is 192.168.1.1)...
    If you get the above mentioned IP Address, Subnet and Gateway Address then you should ping the Gateway, type ping 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...If it gives you request timed out then disable any firewalls, security softwares on the computer...
    If you get 4 replies then type ping 4.2.2.2 and press Enter, if you get request timed out, then you need to upgrade your router's firmware...If you get 4 replies then type ping yahoo.com and press Enter...If you get replies for Yahoo then you should get the Internet after adjusting the browser settings...
    Adjusting Browser Settings : Open an IE, click Tools >> Internet Options, then delete all files, cookies, history, forms...Goto "Connections", make sure Never Dial a Connection is checked, click on LAN Settings and make sure all the options are unchecked...Once you are done click on O.k...Close the IE and re-open it...
    If yahoo times out then provide static DNS on your LAN Connection...
    Click on the Start button >>> Settings >>> Control Panel >>>Network Connections- Right click on the icon for Wireless Network Connection and go to properties- On the 'General' tab select 'Internet Protocol TCP/IP' and click on the Properties button- Select 'Use the Following DNS Settings' Preferred DNS 4.2.2.2 Alternate DNS - 192.168.1.1>>Click on Ok button to Save and Click on "Close" on main Properties window...You should be able to go online...

  • MacBookPro intermittent connectivity with AE/Internet alongside XP/Vista

    My family has 3 laptops: 1x Dell (XP), 1x Toshiba (Vista) and MacBook Pro (OSX10.5.6) using my home wireless network: Airport Express connected to VirginMedia Router to internet. Only Mac has intermittent problems:
    - All 3 laptops individually have no problems connecting to internet;
    - All 3 can simultaneously be on the internet streaming online media;
    - However, only Mac has intermittent connection problems;
    - The XP/Vista laptops connectivity is faultless, unaffected when Mac is first connected to or using the AE/internet;
    - If my Mac is already connected to AE/internet, then connecting XP/Vista laptop will interrupt Mac connection;
    - Turning the Airport-client off/on sometimes temporarily re-connects, or once in a while Mac auto-connects for a few mins, but reconnection is not maintained for more than a few minutes, whether internet in use or not;
    - Mac alone will remain on internet happily indefinitely if neither XP/Vista laptop are connected;
    - I have tried fixes suggested in the forums, such as renewing/lengthening DHCP lease, using DHCP and hard IP addresses, different AE wireless frequencies, removing wireless phones, updating Airport software to latest, turning IPv6 off, etc.
    - This issue arises even when all 3 laptops are used in same room, less than 10m line-of-sight from AE.
    Any ideas how I can force my Mac to stay connected to AE/Internet and not let my XP/Vista family members win the contest of reliable connectivity?
    Yours, the embarassed of the family.

    Thanks for the first two replies.
    1.  Norton and AVG antivirus ran last night.   No problems.  Spybot also was run.   So I don't think the problem is related to Arun's ideas.
    2.  I have a MI424WR Verizon router.   The WAN light is on solid green, all the time. The Internet light flashes.
    The router is fed by coax.
    I dont know what bit torrent is.   Computer 2 is only used for Pogo on line simple stupid gaming (I am whining about wife's activities).   My Computer 1 is only used for ebay and simple web activities.
    I tried resetting the router once today...helped nothing.
    Just now I could not get connected via shortcuts.   BUT---I can always get on line through Outlook Express.  And I got here via an email link.
    go figure

  • AP1121G connection with Internet Router

    Hi! My requirement is to connect the access point to an Internet Router through a common L2 switch so that wifi-enabled laptops will receive public ips through the DHCP pool defined on the AP and be able to access raw internet. The Internet Router has 2 subnets one for the leased-line and the other on the LAN interface.
    I have configured the BVI interface with one of those public IPs and specified the default-gateway as the LAN IP on the Internet Router; on which I have created a reverse route for reachability to the public subnet on AP.
    I am able to reach to the default-gateway but have no reachability for the subnets beyond.
    While working on the problem, I have connected a laptop directly to the LAN interface and confirmed connectivity and browsing to the internet. Next, I bypassed the Nortel switch and connected the AP directly to the LAN interface, I can ping to the public dns servers but browsing is not happening.
    However, I can browse from wifi laptops when I connect the AP on the client LAN segment.
    Am I missing something here? Please have a look and advise.

    You really should be nat'ing on the router...
    Let me get this straight... you have an router with 2 ethernet ports. One is for the lease line and the other is connected to a layer 2 switch? The AP is connected to the layer 2 switch and is on the same vlan as the port on the router?
    When you bypass the Nortel switch and connect to the router everything works, but when you connec to the Nortel switch it doesn't.
    Check to see if you have native vlan checked on the AP... you might have to set the native vlan or no tagging on the Nortel switch in which the ap is connected to.

  • No connection with the router

    After making a normal virus-scan with avast anti-virus suddenly my network card started to go crazy. I had no connection to my router. when i checked my network connection there was nothing... no ip-adress no dns-server nothing. Also no packages were send or received. I have a toshiba tecra S2 and i reinstalled my networkcard three times already everytime with the newest network drivers. It#s also no problem related to my router because the two other pc's at home just work fine.
    hope you can help me

    Hi there,
    you said you already reinstalled the network card. And it did not worked.
    So I have a little suggestion for you:
    To test if your card is working properly, download "UBCD4WIN Live CD" (XP Live CD - very userfriendly windowsXP starting from CD) and burn it to a CD.
    www.ubcd4win.com
    After that boot with it, and try to make a connection with your notebook to your router. If you get a connection, then something in your OS is broken and I suggest you to make a system
    recovery.
    If no connection is given, try a Biosupdate and exchange the Network cable.
    If nothing will work, bring your machine to a ASP (Authorized Service Partner) for repair or at least a hardware checkup.
    Good luck &
    Greets

  • SLD configuration - JCO connection with SAP Router

    Hi,
    I installed the new Sneak Preview SP11 Java Edition including SAP Portal. I tried to run an own Web Dynpro Application with RFC-Access on a R/3 System.
    Unfortunately I was not able to get the JCO Connection to run. The R/3 System is reached via SAP Router. I am a little bit confused, because with the last Sneak Preview (SP6 or SP7) this application was running without problems. Of course I thought that this can't be. So I uninstalled SP11 and installed the old version (SP7). I configured the JCO-connection, no problems.
    Now I know that this is not my mistake (hopefully ).
    If I configured a JCO-connection in SP11 and tried to PING, the first PING was ok. After testing the connection with user, the PING failed. The testing with user returns something like "user or password are not accepted".
    Any ideas?
    Best regards
    Renald

    In your SLD configuration,  what do you have as your Logon Group under the message server config.  Is it "PUBLIC".  if so, then the user id needs to belong to that Logon Group in the system.

  • Connection with BEFW11S4 Router

    About 2 months ago I got a new computer. Ever since, while I am able to connect to the internet,  the connection is very slow.  We have a second computer in our home that has no problems with the connection.  But yet the new computer has trouble downloading videos, websites, etc at the same speed as the other computer. 
    I spoke with the company that build my computer and they stated this was a problem with the router and I should countact them for assistance.  I have the Lyksys BEFW11S4 Wireless-B Broadband Router.  Can anyone offer me any assistance as to how to get the new computer running off the internet at the same speed as our older one?
    Thank you in advance for you help! 

    On your New Computer try to Disable the Firewall and Antivirus on your Computer and check how its working. As you have mentioned your other computers works perfectly fine, this means your Router is working fine  without any issue. You should disable the firewall and antivirus and i think this might solve the problem.
