IPhone stalling Linksys Cable Gateway???

I've got a Linksys Wireless Cable Gateway/Router (WCG200) set up at home, and on several occasions when I'm surfing on my iPhone, the linksys simply stalls or hangs, and I have to turn it off and back on again to let it sync back up to my ISP (Cox). The linksys stalls not only the Internet activity on my iPhone, but also my other computers in the house. But it only locks up initially when I'm actively surfing on the iPhone. It does not lock up like this when surfing via the computers. As soon as I turn it off and then on again, it syncs back up fine and works properly until the next time.
The tricky thing is, it doesn't seem to do it with any regularity. No specific website I'm surfing, no specific time of day. The only consistent thing is that it only happens when using the iPhone (but not all the time).
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Kenton

When I read your post it immediately caught my attention because I had the same thing happen to my D-link DI624 router.
I was surfing the web one evening and all of a sudden web pages stopped loading saying it couldn't connect with the server. I noticed I still had 2 bars for my wireless connection, but nothing was working. So, I chaulked it up to the iPhone 1.1.1 quirkiness and didn't even bother to check any of the other computers running off the same wireless network that night.
The next morning I heard my wife complaining about her email not sending from her laptop. Then my middle son said he "didn't have internet" so went and reset the router. So, that explains why I lost my connection the night before!
Coincidence?

  • Connect to Linksys Cable Gateway via AirPort Extreme Base Station?

    Thank you in advance for any replies.
    I have the following new setup:
    A G3 Blue tower running OS X 10.4.10 is successfully connected to the internet via a Linksys WCG200 Cable Gateway connected to RCN's cable internet service. The WCG200 unit has wireless capacity though it's connected to the G3 tower via ethernet cable.
    A second Mac (G3 iMac DV running OS X 10.4.10) is in another room in the office. I'd like to set it up with internet by wirelessly connecting with the existing WCG200 unit using an Airport Extreme Base Station (AEBS) I've recently acquired. To ensure a smooth process, I reset the AEBS to factory settings and installed the AEBS software (version 4.2) onto the iMac DV. Finally I plugged in the AEBS into the iMac DV using an ethernet cable plugged into the AEBS's WAN port (AirPort Admin Utility advised me to do so).
    That's the hardware configuration. Working out the software and configuration details is proving 'niggly'.
    First, I used the AirPort Setup Assistant to configure the AEBS. I told it to Set up a new Base Station, then to set it up as connecting to the internet using a Cable modem (the top option of two—the second was to set it up with internet through a LAN). I set up the name and passwords for the Base Station and had the utility configure the AEBS accordingly.
    No internet connection occurred. I tried using the Internet Connect utility in the Applications folder, but no button or visible option for connecting via AirPort appeared, as the Setup Guide indicated it should, only a button for a VPN appeared.
    I called Apple and asked whether it was even possible to connect to the internet using the AEBS talking wirelessly to the WCG200 unit. A tech told me it could be done by going into the AirPort Administration Utility, going into Configuration, clicking on the WDS tab and inputting the MAC address for the WCG200 unit, then going into the Airport tab and typing in the channel that the WCG200 is using. Note that the WCG200 unit has 3 MAC addresses listed; one each for “modem MAC address,” “WAN-MAN MAC address,” and “WAN-DATA MAC address”. I used the “modem MAC address.
    The Apple tech added that it might need further tweaking, but that Apple couldn’t provide this tweaking and that I might check various forums if need be.
    I followed the Tech’s advice, at which point the utility informed me that it couldn't use DHCP or NAT with this setup’ and to make sure that the "Distribute IP Addresses" checkbox was deselected under the Internet tab. This I did, but it was already deselected. I told the utility to update the AEBS accordingly, and restarted everything, including the 2 Macs and the WCG200.
    Result:
    No connection.
    Tried it again with the Ethernet plugged into the AEBSs LAN port, still no connection.
    Help! Can’t I get the AEBS to even see the WCG200? I know wireless is properly functioning in the WCG200 because another user with a Windows laptop connects to it wirelessly. The Mac Tech also mentioned that this could be relatively easy with an AirPort Express piece of hardware (Card? Base station?) but that it would be difficult with the Airport Extreme Base Station.
    At this point we’re willing to spend $100 on getting this up. What would be our best option in terms of equipment, or can connectivity be accomplished with what we have?
    Thanks again,
    skyheart

    skyheart, Welcome to the discussion area!
    In theory using WDS would provide what you need.
    In reality the Linksys device is not compatible with Apple's WDS and therefore this will not work.

  • When i scyn photo from pc to iphone, by using cable and selecting iphone on ituens,the photo which stored in my ipone, i am unable to delete some photoand even can not arrange them according to my wish

    when I scyn photo from pc to iphone , by using cable and selecting iphone on itunes, the photo which stored in my iphone , i am unable to delete some photo from them and even can not arrange them accoring to my wish, please let me know what to do ?

    you can only delete the photos you take on the phone itself as in from camera roll
    sync mean syncronize as in make the 2 side the same if you could delete the photos syncronized to your iphone then the nature of what syncronize mean result in the logic step being deleting the photo on your computer too
    you get rid of the photo by sync with another dir/ sourse or by moving the photo out of the dir of the computer and then resync

  • Is the iPhone 5 lightning cable also covered under AppleCare?

    My iPhone lightning cable is starting to fall apart.
    I never take it anywhere. It just stays plugged in at home and all I use it for is connecting to my iPhone 5 for charging, etc. So it's definitely never been abused.
    It came with my iPhone 5 which I got October of 2012, so the iPhone 5 itself is still under the 2 year AppleCare warranty. Do they cover the lightning cable too? I can't believe it has started to wear out like this just from daily plugging in.

    Of course. AppleCare covers your iPhone and the accessories that came with it, including the Lightning cable. Just make an appointment at an Apple Store or reseller and take the iPhone and the cable to get it replaced for free.
    Here in Japan it was even easier than that. I just had to call AppleCare and they will deliver one by express service, and pick up the old one. No need to make an appointment, or to actually go anywhere.

  • Can I use iphone 4s USB cable to recharge for the new ipad

    Can I use iphone 4s USB cable to recharge for the new ipad

    The iPod, iPad & iPhone cables are identical, however, the chargers are not.
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
    http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

  • I am having difficulty charging my iphone with the cable. Its been 1 yr since I bought the phone. Does the cable becomes useleless after a year. Whats the life span for the cable?

    I am having difficulty charging my iphone with the cable. Its been 1 yr since I bought the phone. Does the cable becomes useleless after a year. Whats the life span for the cable? It automatically gets disconnected and then get connected again.

    That is shorter than normal. Any signs of wear? And you're sure it's the cable, not one of the pins in the iPhone's charging port?

  • Can I mirror my computer screen on my iPhone using a cable?

    Is there a way to mirror my MacBook Pro's screen on my iPhone using a cable? I know there's VNC and Splashtop, but I'm looking for a solution with zero latency, as I'm making an Oculus Rift clone. I have seen this done once before but I'm not sure how, or if he was even doing what I think me has.

    You'll need one of these. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD826ZM/A/lightning-digital-av-adapter?afid=p2 19%7CGOUS&cid=AOS-US-KWG-PLA

  • This Accessory is not made to work with the iPhone (apple headset cable)

    Is it just me or are others seeing this whenever you plug in the iPhone headset USB cable to your iPhone ... not sure what gives here, but it's quite annoying. I have the cable plugged into a 23" ACD USB hub (not sure if this makes a difference or not).
    Considering that this headset is made to work with ONLY the iPhone and that this is the only way to hook it up and charge it I'm a bit miffed about this. I was kind of let down the quality of the headset to start with (everyone says it sounds like I'm stuck down a well when talking to them) and to top it off this message appears every time I plug things in to charge them up.
    Is this a new issue with the 2.2 firmware update, or is this a more wide spread issue? Having to tell it every time not to put my phone into airplane mode is quite annoying :/ Not sure why there would be such an issue with an Apple cable made specifically for this task plugged into an Apple monitor.

    Hi Allan
    Thanks for the response. Connected directly to the front of my Mac Pro is didn't display that message. The funny thing is that when I moved it back to the ACD USB port I no longer got this message (for now, it's been hit and miss in the recent past as well).
    Why it makes a difference on the ACD ports I don't know, according to the USB 2.0 spec there should be zero difference in connecting to a hub vs. directly to a port on the computer unless the hub is not up to spec and I have no issues using any other devices at all on the USB ports on my 2 ACD's. Smells like a bug to me. It's also hit and miss that the headset shows as charging or not on the iPhone. I just tested it with the Mac Pro front plug and had the same issue. It took 4 times unplugging and replugging until the iPhone knew it had a headset attached to it (which included a reboot of the iPhone to make sure the issue wasn't on that side). All the connectors are clean -- the headset and cable are < 1 week old. The iPhone I just took a good look and and for good measure even blew it out with some compressed air.
    Either way around I'm still very unimpressed with the QA on this product. I don't think it will be around much longer. Hopefully others won't get sucked in and spend their hard earned $$ on this overpriced piece of hardware. I did read the reviews on the apple store but chose to ignore most of them (lots seemed like rants). I can now testify first hand that it doesn't seem to be all it's cracked up to be, especially on the sound quality front
    I'll leave this thread open for a while longer as I want to see if anyone else is having this issue or if it's something specific with my setup (if it's specific to my setup I may just end up returning this headset and buying something else).
    Thanks again.

  • IPhone 3g Usb Cable Tear

    I have 2 iPhone 3G and for some apparant reason the white cable has been ripping from the white plastic part that plugs into the iphone... Will the genius bar replace both usb cables.. The quality used was poor and apple should acknowledge the problem.....

    The USB cable included is under the same one year warranty as the iPhone, so the cables should be replaced under warranty. This is a user to user help forum only, so no one here can answer for certain what a particular Apple store will do or not do since each warranty claim is on a case by case basis.
    So call AppleCare at (800) 694-7466 to handle everything over the phone, or make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

  • Can connect to internet when plugged directly into linksys cable modem but

    I have an Airport Extreme router, am running Windows Xp, and can connect to the internet when I plug my laptop directly into my linksys cable modem. I can also connect to the internet when I plug directly into the airport extreme via cat 5 cable. However, when I try to connect wirelessly via airport extreme, I cannot get on the internet, even though it shows I have excellent signal strength on the laptop, have a solid green light on the airport, and all lights look right on the cable modem. It says something about error -6753. This is what I am doing now; I am connected to the airport via cat 5 cable, and am downloading all software / firmware updates for the airport, do you think this will fix my problem? How do I diagnose if my problem is with the wireless settings on the laptop, or with the airport? thanks, this is extremely aggravating.

    Welcome to the discussions forums airporteggstreme.
    I found a couple of posts that may be relevant. They point to the fact that your PC may be looking for a different address when it's connected wirelessly versus its wired connection. I believe you'll solve the problem by making sure both your Airport and your PC are configured to get their IP addresses via DHCP. If all else fails "hard reset" your Airport, unplug your PC's Ethernet cable and set it up wirelessly. That should work.
    Here's the link: http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies-archive.cfm/228336.html
    It refers to an Express but the Extreme will be similar. If you scroll way down you'll find the following:
    In order to configure the Airport Express you not only need to connect to it as the access point but *also need to treat it as a DHCP server.*
    If you connect the the AE as a base station but do not have "Obtain IP address automatically" in your network settings you will receive error code -6753. I racked my brain on that for a while after doing a number of hard resets. Once I went into my PC's network settings and removed the manual IP address I had set there (192.168.15.104) and set for automatic ip address retrieval I was able to configure the AE using the admin utility.
    Once you have finished configuring the base station and set it to join your existing network, you can change your PC's IP back to whatever you need for your own purposes.

  • Is there any differences between a iPod nano 1st gen usb cable and a iPhone 3G  usb cable? thanks

    Is there any differences between a iPod nano 1st gen usb cable and a iPhone 3G  usb cable? thanks

    Yes you have a one year warranty from the date of purchase from Apple. Go to this link and on the bottom right hand side it will ask you to enter your serial number and will tell you if you are still under warranty. http://www.apple.com/support/
    If you are you can take it to a Apple store, or request service online here http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
    If it is out of warranty you can google a third party service provider and get it serviced out of warranty. There are two that I know of that provide free diagnostic service. You only pay for shipping and they will tell you what is wrong and what it will cost to fix. They are ifixipodsfast.com and ipodmods.com but there are others also (I just have no experience with them) Good luck and as was stated it should charge from your usb. and just for grins, look at the docking connector on your ipod and see if there is any obstruction that is obvious.
