Intermittent connections to internet with WRT54G

I installed a new unit and I am experiencing intermittent connections to my DSL modem. When the unit quits the WLAN light goes out. I can hit the reset button on the back and the unit will work again for a while. I have also noticed that when I hit the reset button the WLAN light starts dim and then brightens after the reset. Anybody have any suggestions?

I used to have this problem all the time with my old laptop using a PCMCIA card. I discovered that the problem was the version of the driver I was running. The only thing I can suggest would be to make sure you have the latest drivers for all your LAN cardsd, and the latest firmware for the router. I have had no problems since.

If the message that is displaying is "Network connection timed out", disable any Anti-Virus or Firewall software on the comptuer or check with the company that supports the product on how to modify it to allow iTunes to connect to the Internet.

Since the MacBook Pro currently works, you should put it next to the iMac and compare the network settings for AirPort in System Preferences Network pane Advanced. Also, if you want to start off with the default network settings, you can use Location drop down menu and select +Edit Locations+. Then click the plus sign to create a new location. Set up that new location.
On System Preferences Network pane, AirPort should appear at the top of the list (in the sidebar). To change the service order, click on the gear icon and select +Set Service Order+.
Some additional tests you can try, on top of seeing if it works with (1) WEP security disabled and (2) a direct wired connection to the router.
If you get it to work with either (1) or (2), be sure to run Software Update at least two times to apply any recent updates from Apple. See if that makes any difference to using AirPort with WEP back on.
(3) Start up in Safe Mode
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455
I don't know if any third-party software has been installed on the iMac at this point, but Safe Mode will start up with only the essential Apple extensions and processes running. See if it works any better in Safe Mode.
(4) Create a new admin user account in System Preferences Accounts pane
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8235.html
Log out and log in to the new account. Try connecting with AirPort in the new account.
(5) Connect the MacBook Pro to the router with a wired Ethernet connection. Make sure its Internet access works. On System Preferences Sharing pane, set it up for +Internet Sharing+ so that it is set to +Share your connection from Ethernet - To computers using AirPort+. On the iMac, try to connect to that wireless network and access the Internet.
That last one (5) may be a good one to try first. It would at least show that the iMac's AirPort is working - you can even set it up to use WEP. If you have any questions about using the +Internal Sharing+ feature, please ask.

Canny connect to internet with airport express

I was connected to internet with wireless network using airport xpress and D-link DSL-300T cable modemeverything was fine till i did base station fireware update. Now i can only connect wired with usb modem, (my airtunes still works). Airport status is green and states i am connected to internet via ethernet _though safria is unable to find server. Have tried loads of things but to no success. Tried network assist but network password invalid? though it is correct! Also done hard reset on xpress no joy.
Any mac guru s fancy a challenge!?
Pls.

Likely your ISP uses the PPPoE protocol to connect to clients - and PPPoE doesn't work properly with firmware version 6.2 for the Airport Express.
Downgrade the firmware on your Airport Express back to version 6.1.1 with this software:

TS1286 Cannot connect to internet with USB

I am a new user of Ipod touch 5th gen 32 gig I cannot connect to internet with usb?

Hi bikernblondie,
When you say that you're trying to connect to the internet with USB, do you mean that you're trying to connect your iPod to the internet so that you can surf the internet with a browser on your iPod, or that you're trying to connect your iPod to your computer so that you can sync it with iTunes and bring over songs, movies, apps, etc.?
- O.C.

GerleMan, Welcome to the discussion area!
There are two probably causes:
Your ISP is blocking the port used by Entourage to send mail and the ISP used by the other wireless networks is not.
OR
Your ISP doesn't like OS X's default MTU seting of 1500. If this were the case it should also affect any large file transfers you try to make from your Mac to the Internet.

Ok..So you mean still cannot accessing the website with Internet connection? Try to use nslookup in command prompt to check whether can resolve domain name correctly. Also make sure you can ping the router's LAN IP from computer.
If not, you can try to use the following DNS servers from OpenDNS.com:
208.67.220.220
208.67.222.222

Can no longer connect to internet with wireless router.

For almost a year I've had a wrt54g ver 6 connected on my computer with my cable modem and my sons computer with the compatible pci card. Everything worked fine until a few days ago, I came home and could not get on the internet with my computer. My son could, but not me. I didn't change anything at all. So I reinstalled the router drivers and I still can't connect to the internet, but now neither can the other computer. What could be the problem?
michele

it sounds like you might have to clone the mac address of the computer that was originally connected to the cable modem. clone mac address can be found on setup tab after log into router.

Can't connect to internet through WRT54G

I can connect to the internet through DSL modem but cannot when going through the WRT54G. All lights on router lit correctly. Actually set up this router 6 months ago or so and worked both wired and wirelessly for awhile. Then could only access internet wirelessly with laptop. Started messing with the router to get it to work wired with desktop but now won't work. Can access the router set-up page but not sure what to change. Saw somewhere to change the routers IP address to 192.168.2.1 didn't solve the prblem. Have tried restoring factory defaults, recommended power on/off sequences (modem, router,pc) and holding reset button for 30 seconds. Also tried Easy connect tool on the Linksys site. Icon in lower right of pc screen indicates status as connected but still cannot connect to internet. Any help is very much appreciated.
Scott

I had the very same problem with the same model router. It turned out to be the Security setting in Internet Options. The security setting was on Medium. After changing it to Medium-Low, I could connect to the internet through the router.
If you are not familiar with changing the Security setting, let me know and I will reply with the steps to take.

Mac Mini won't connect to internet with airport

Hello All,
I have a three year old Mac Mini 1.83 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo at my office. We all use macs and connect to the internet using a Time Capsule (Simultaneous Dual Band II). Everyone else's computers are connecting to the internet and working just fine, but my computer constantly keeps failing to connect properly. I have to continually reboot my computer to get access. It will connect and stay connected for a little while, but then quit working all of a sudden again. I would say it disconnects about 10-15 times during the day. When I open up the diagnostic utility, it shows the following:
Airport - Green Light
Airport Settings - Green Light
Network Settings - Green Light
ISP - Failed
Internet - Failed
Server - Failed
Whenever I start having problems, everyone else's computers are connected and working just fine. I cannot figure out what the problem is and why my computer keeps showing that i'm connected, but won't let me access the internet. This problem just started a few weeks ago, but it is getting worse because it is starting to happen more frequently. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Whenever I start having problems, everyone else's computers are connected and working just fine. I cannot figure out what the problem is and why my computer keeps showing that i'm connected, but won't let me access the internet.
With the information that you have provided in your post, it seems clear that the Time Capsule, which is providing the wireless network, is working just fine, providing a good wireless signal to the area. Since that's the case, there is really not any adjustment or change to the Time Capsule that we can recommend.
You might look for sources of wireless interference like cordless phones or other electronics that may be in close proximity to the Mac Mini, or obvious obstructions in the signal path, particularly any metal objects like a filing cabinet or shelving system.
Other than that, we would recommend that you post in the Mac Mini forum for some possible answers, or the forum for the operating system that you are running on the Mac Mini. Start here and select the area(s) that you need.
https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa
It's always possible of course, that the wireless card in the Mac Mini is failing, or the internal antenna connector has an intermittment connection, but we'll leave that diagnosis to the experts in the forums for the Mac Mini or your operating system.
If we missed something that would point to the Time Capsule as the source of connection problems with the Mac Mini, please let us know.

How to connect to internet with sim 2 in XL

XL doesn't give option to connect internet with sim 2. When I turn on mobile data it always connect with sim 1. All time I have to go to settings to connect with sim 2 after connected with sim 1. Is there any way to choose sim when I'm turning on mobile data?

The user guide gives you this..
By default, your phone asks you which SIM to use for the connection. You can also set the default SIM for calls, messaging, and mobile data connections.
Select which SIM to use for calls and messaging
Tap Settings icon > Dual SIM.
Switch Always ask to OFF.
Select which SIM to use for calls and messaging.
Select which SIM to use for mobile data connections
Tap Settings icon > Mobile data and networks, and select which SIM to use for mobile data connections.
Availability of SIMs
You can use 2G or 3G SIMs in both SIM1 and SIM2 slots, but the SIM2 slot supports 2G network only.
When you set one SIM to be used for outgoing calls or messages, or for data connections, the other SIM can still receive calls or messages.
When one SIM is having an active connection, the other SIM is not available.

Not able to connect to Internet with TC

Hi, trying to change my network set up and my TC not allowing me to connect to Internet.
I have
Motorola modem SB6121 connected to Comcast as ISP and working fine
TC connected to modem and via Ethernet cable to my mac mini (OS10.7.5)
Connecting to Internet on TC using DHCP
Network is on router mode DHCP and NAT though suspect this is not the issue.
Time cable has green light
Internet is amber on airport utility.
Any help or advise much appreciated.
Tks

So, I went through **** too with the SB6121 and my relativel new Time Capsule (2TB ME177LL/A). I had an adsl-2 network with the timecapsule as the router (in DHCP/NAT Mode)feeding to a NETGEAR ProSAFE 16-Port Fast Ethernet Desktop Switch (FS116) which distributed ip addressed to hardwired ethernet outlets through out the building.
Everything was fine until yesterday when I upgraded the net to faster COMCAST Business service. The tech installed everything and we connected the ethernet from the SB6121 to my timecapsule and nothing. I fooled around and in bridge mode it would work but not in DHCP/NAT. I went through every possible reconfiguration, reset, shut down, web search I could. There is ZERO info on the Web about this problem. Spent three hours or more on it yesterday. This morning I broke the code.
disconnect the devices, e.g. remove the ethernet connection between the two devices
connect a mac directly to the SB6121 and reset to factory default
enter 192.168.100.1
go to configurations
choose reset to factory defaults
disconect the mac from the SB6121
Go back to the time capsule
using airport untility (6.3.2), connect to Time Capsule
go to the internet tab
select Static on the "Connect Using" pull down
tab to each data entry field and ERASE the contents of the fields
choose UPDATE
after update is complete go back and set connect using to DHCP
be suure you have Router Mode set the DHCP and Nat
choose UPDATE again
now plug the ethernet from the SB6121 into the WAN port on the Time Capsule
Voila !!! It worked.
Good luck to all of you.
