Linksys E3000 dropping wireless connections

I know others have posted this and I have followed the advice I could find:
Set channel manually - i've tried all the channels no help
Different SSIDs for 5g and 2.4g
Beacon Interval 50
Fragmentation threshold 2306
RTS Threshold 2304
I'm running firmware 1.0.04 build 6 <script type="text/javascript"></script> Dec 6, 2010
I've had the router for 4 months now and this has been happening for the last 3.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

As per the scenario that you explained that even after upgrading the firmware the connection drops... But after upgrading the firmware did you reset the Router and configured it back...So for better connectivity reset the Router and configure it again as per the ISP ( Internet Service Provider ) setup...
While setting up the router reduce the MTU size to 1400 from auto...
For Channel Settings of 2.4 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 6, 9, 11..
For Channel Settings of 5 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 40 or 161..
Then click on Security tab disable SPI Firewall Protection, uncheck Filter Anonymous Internet Requests...
Disable all the anti-virus and security centers...
After doing all these settings then check the condition...

Linksys ea3500 dropping wireless connection

Hello,
I have a very frustrating problem. I am using a brand new Linksys EA3500. We have 2 laptops connecting to it. One is an older XP machine which never has any problem. The other, a Vista machine, periodically drops the connection to the internet when connecting wirelessly. It never loses the connection to the Linksys EA3500 router, it just says "Access: local" and there is no internet. If I plug the Vista machine in wired to the router it works fine. I've tried my old router and I don't get this problem, which leads me to believe that my wireless adapter is functioning properly on the Vista machine.
When the vista machine drops the internet, I can still get into the router configuration at 192.168.1.1, but when I click on the tab which says wireless it sometimes says: "Router not found. You are not connected to your router." It says this despite the fact that I am connected to the router???
I've tried reinstalling Windows, that didn't make any difference. I am convinced that it is a problem with the router, but I can't find any settings to adjust which remedy the situation. Of coarse, I've tried reseting my modem and Router many times...doesn't resolve the issue. I've also gone into DOS and done an ipconfig release_all and renew_all.
I work in IT and I understand the basics of TCP/IP and DHCP. When I connect wired with the vista laptop my ip is 192.168.1.112, when wireless it is 192.168.1.142. Please advise.
Thank you

Are you using the classic firmware or the linksys smartwifi? If the other laptop is working fine, I would say that the router is working fine. But to make sure that everything all things are covered, try to change the wireless settings of the router as well as update the adapter on the laptop that’s experiencing the problem. For the wireless settings of the router, you may try: channel width: 20MHz only; channel: 1, 3, 6, or 9; security: wpa2 personal.

E3200 - Dropping wireless connection on the Mac

Pros: Gig Eth switch, no front-facing indicator lights, familiar web interface...
Cons: WiFi Protected Setup doesn't belong. Continually drops wireless connections to my Mac Book Pro (but none of my other devices), which worked just fine on the E3000 this unit replaced and works perfectly on other WiFi networks. REALLY SLOW web interface - average time to move from one page to the next is something north of 9 seconds. Again, never a problem with the E3000 that this unit replaced. Price? I wouldn't complain about price if this thing actually worked as expected.
Other Thoughts: I'm hoping it's just a flaky/defective unit and not indicative of the overall quality of newer Linksys products. Firmware isn't the issue - it's running the latest one from Linksys' site.

First of all please verify that you have got a 802.11n card in your computer. New generation routers (i.e. E3200) speaks an entirely different language with 802.11g cards, so while those adapters can work with the E3200, 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.
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.
Any G devices in your wireless network will tend to hamper the performance of your overall network.
Ensure that your router is running the latest firmware from homesupport.cisco.com The new firmware includes performance enhancements and fixes.
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.

WRT54G keeps dropping wireless connections

Wired connection to the router works fine. But it drops all the wireless devices (PC, phone, tablet) multiple times each day, sometimes only 30-60 minutes after reconnecting. Power cycling the router "fixes" the router and allows reconnection. There are 2 topics in the FAQ section that looked helpful:
Getting poor or no signal from a wireless router
Top causes of dropping wireless connection on a Linksys router
but clicking on those does not bring up anything. Anyone know where to find those 2 FAQs? Any other ideas for what might be causing this?

Hi. You may need to do firmware upgrade on your router as is the case these days for legacy routers. What is the hardware version by the way? You can find it at the bottom of the router right after the tiny print of the model. Access homesupport.cisco.com and search for the model. When you get the router's page click downloads below support sections and from there you have to select the hardware version, once you do that you will see the firmware version for the said hardware version. Usually it is a bin file when you save it and you can open that one on the router's page. Once you access your router's page go to Administration and click Firmware Upgrade and select the file you downloaded from the website. Make sure that you do this upgrade with a computer plugged-in to the router. When upgrade is done, you do a 30-second reset and unplug/replug the router also for 30 seconds. You may refer to this link http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=80&vw=1&articleid=4030.
As for the link for Getting poor or no signal from a wireless router, I found this one from Cisco's public kb site but not able to for the other one but I believe they are related.

Try to change channels as well on your router: you can try 1,3,6,9. Make sure the router is placed at least 3 feet above ground and check the antenna as well if it is still okay.

WRT330N Dropping Wireless Connections

I have a WRT330N which I have been using for a while with a couple of wired connections and 3 wireless connections.
It has been working great for months, but has suddenly started dropping wireless connections. I basically haven't touch the thing since I set it up and it has worked flawlessly.
Any idea why it would suddenly start behaving this way? Nothing else about the environment has changed either.
Could it be dying?
BTW, it will drop connections with a system literally sitting right next to it.. so distance isn't an issue.

Try to upgrade the firmware of the router .
And also do not use any electronic devices in the range of router .

WRK54G dropping wireless connections

Hi,
I have a WRK54 firmware Version 1.56.01
It keeps dropping wireless connections and can't get back on, requires restarting (power) the router to allow wireless working again.
I have set the MTU to 1300
Doesn't allow me to update the firmware, error "Upgrade action is not finish!! Upgrade file pattern error."
Using Windows XP SP2
Any ideas?

Are you trying to Upgrade the firmware on your Router from your Wireless Computer? If yes, then you can Hardwired your computer to the Router using an Ethernet Cable and then try to upgrade the firmware of your Router....
If still you are Unable to upgrade the firmware on your Router, then you need to 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 you can try to upgrade the firmware on your Router.

E3000 routers wireless connections drop when gigabit hardwire is used

I have a very strange but repeatable problem with my E3000 wireless router. I have multiple devices connected wirelessly such as and iPhone and 3 laptops. I also have a couple of devices (dvd player and satellite receiver) connected hard wire. The problem occurs when I connect my laptop hardwire and uses gigabit speed. All wireless connection stop working. When I look in the router at the list of users it show all the wireless devices as being connected via the LAN and not wireless anymore. When I unplug the gigabit hardwired connection and reboot the router all the wireless devices go back to normal and function correctly. I am also using MAC security for the wireless devices so when I plug in the laptop hardwire it changes from wireless to LAN in the user client table. Unfortunately all the other wireless devices do also.

You have 3 wireless laptops. The wireless connection stops working when you connect the laptop to the Ethernet port on the router.
Does this happen when you connect any laptop to the router or only with the specific laptop?
Disable the wireless network connection on your laptop and then connect the laptop to the router with the Ethernet cable.
See if that works.

LinkSys e3000: Poor wireless signal

Hi,
I have configured a new LinkSys e3000 as as wireless router in our house.
I have left the configuration as default (only secured it and turned on the DHCP server).
I have only turned on the 2,4 GHz network ( because the 5GH had an even shorter range).
Everything works and all my devices can connect to the router and access the internet.
However i find the singnal strenght of the router to be very poor.
Already in the next room it drops to 60%. And in some rooms on the 1st floor the signal drops completly.
This happens not even 20m away from the router in an ordinary "family house".
Is there a setting somewhere which could increase the signal strength ?
I noticed that the router has no antenna, can one be bought and attached so the signal increases ?
The firmware version is 1.0.02 and i found a newer ony on your web 1.0.03. Would it help to upgrade to it ?
Any onther ideas how to improve the signal strength ?
Thank you in advance
Hynek

There are built in antennas for this router.
Connect the computer to the router and open the setup page of the router.
Go to the wireless tab and change the Wireless channel to 11. Save the settings.
Click on Advanced wireless settings sub tab. Change the Beacon interval to 75, RTS threshold to 2307 and fragmentation threshold to 2306. Save the settings.
See if that helps you.
You can also try to upgrade the firmware on your router.
Connect the computer with the Ethernet cable to the router. Download the latest firmware from Linksys website and save it on your computer. Open the setup page of the router. Click on Administration tab and go to Firmware upgrade sub tab. Browse the firmware file that you have already downloaded and upgrade it on your router.
After upgrading the firmware on the router, it is recommended that you should reset the router and reconfigure it. Press and hold the reset button on the router for 30 seconds. Release the reset button and wait for 10 seconds. Power cycle the router and reconfigure it.

E4200 v2 - Dropping wireless connection

I purchased this router as an upgrade from my Cisco/Linksys E3000 that I have had for over a year. I use wireless almost exclusively in my household and when the E4200 V2 is working it is great but then it seems to slow down. Actually it is not slowing down but dropping packets on the wireless segments after varying periods of time. The wireless connection does not drop ( i used vistumbler to view the connection in real time ) but all connections exhibit dropped packets. I had Amazon send me a replacement and it did the exact same thing. I even restored the router to default and setup just the wireless connection both using the Cisco connect and the web interface and the problem still happens. To test this I set a constant ping of the router's gateway address on my WLAN and observed 25% to 40% dropped packets. After a reboot it is more stable, but it becomes more unstable over time. The wired connections are solid and did not drop any packets but wireless is a joke!

There are many reasons why you experience poor signal or connection. Your intermittent wireless connection has a relation to the kind of setup that you have in your home or office. Is the connection dropping on all wireless computers or just one?
You have mentioned, you set the router to factory defaults and re-configured it. Did you try changing the channel on the router to either 1, 6, 9 or 11? There could be an interference with other wireless devices in the network (cordless phone, microwave etc.) since they work on the same frequency.
Try this and see if that helps.

Wrvs4400n keep dropping wireless connection

hi there,
has anyone got problem with wrvs4400n keep dropping the wireless connection? i tried to find out anywhere but not much hints are given how to solve the issue.
i have 1.1.03 firmware installed, and currently running on
b/g/n mixed on channel 9
wpa2 personal mixed security
the rest of the settings on default
i had the router running for about 3 months and most of the time i have to either restart the server to get the wireless working again. normally the wireless works ok until few days when suddenly I just can't access the internet using the wireless.
once i replug my computer using cable, the wireless router suddenly can give me IP address and the wireless return back to normal.
i have tried to use
different channels
changing to G/N, and B/G mode
change key renewal frequency
reduce RTS Threashold
accessing the wireless router from 3 different wireless network card
none of them really works, normally after few days, 1 week top, i suddenly lost wireless connection again. the SSID still there, i can authenticate, somehow the wireless just won't give me IP address
checking the website, it seems like i'm on the latest firmware from linksys and they don't seem updating the firmware anymore, is this product not supported anymore?
anyone knows of the same problem ? or has already solved the issue?

Hey Stewey,
I have a similar problem with my iMac G5. My roommate, who has an HP, bought a Linksys WRT54G when we moved in to our place and it gives me trouble with Airport sometimes. We use G only and WPA Personal. I updated the firmware in February and I swear it got a bit better, but it still goes out sometimes. If I move it just a few inches in any direction, generally it will start working again. Resetting it also helps sometimes. I don't know if its the fact that it doesn't say it's compatible with any Mac on the box, but it's annoying as all ****. My roomie rarely has problems with it (our rooms are the same distance away from the router), but my friend brought his PB over to do some work and he had trouble in my room as well. Is it Linksys, or is it Airport? I have no idea. Our router is out in the living room, next to the TV and Xbox 360, so it might be interference. If possible, try moving the router to higher ground and away from other electronics.
I tried looking up your router online to see if I could find anything else out. Didn't find too much info, but it says that you get free 24 hour tech support. You don't see that too often. If you can't figure it out, give them a call.
Good luck!

T500 Dropping Wireless Connection

Hi, all. My T500 has been doing this for a while. I finally got around to actually posting about it.
Some background info: computer has the Intel Centrino 5100 wireless card, router is a Linksys / Cisco WRT54G2.
Under device manager, all wireless wifi devices are set so that it will NOT shut off to save power.
Under Power Manager. dim display is set at 5 minutes, turn off display set at 15 minutes
Stop hard disk rotation, enter system standby and enter system hibernation are set to "never"
Here's the problem. After stepping away from the computer for a while (longer than 15 minutes), I come back and move the mouse for the display to turn back on. The wireless connection, for some reason, has dropped. When I attempt to reconnect to the router, it fails to reconnect. I try again and it fails to reconnect yet again.
Mind you, all other devices connected to the router are fine and none have dropped the connection.
The only way I can reconnec to the router is by unplugging the router and powering it up again. Only then will my T500 reconnect.
What do you suppose the problem is? What's the best solution to fix it? Advice would be most appreciated.

Try installing the latest wifi drivers from the Intel site rather than from Lenovo's driver matrix.

WRT160N Dropping Wireless Connection.

Hey, I was wondering if anybody could give me some advice on a problem I've been having. I just recent bought a WRT160N as an upgrade to my old D-Link DI-514, I wanted to have faster wireless speeds. My new router does have much faster speeds, but the wireless connection keeps dropping. When this happens no computers can connect through the wireless, and I have to physically powercycle the router. Sometimes it will completely freeze up and not even allow wired users to access anything. There are only two computers connected to it, and I was wondering if anybody has experienced a similar problem?
One possibility I have consired is that it cannot support the number of current connections I have open at the time, but I find that hard to beleive considering my old el cheapo router had no problem handling the same thing. Does anybody know the number of connections it can handle at once?
I'm pretty sure it's not an interference issue, I've tried lots of different channel options, and when I've seen interference problems before it wouldn't lock up the whole router.
My current configurations are as follows:
WAP2 Personal,DHCP,MAC Filters,VPN enabled,three applications port forwarded(to wirelss PC), and everything else is default.

The linksys wrt160N dropped the internet connection.........
Oftenly my WRT160N is losing connection to all wired and wireless computers in my house (2 wired, 1 wireless).
Means I cannot connect to internet
My solution:
- only use the linksys wrt160N as an accespoint : don't use the internet port on the router !!!
ONLY USE THE Ethernet ports (1, 2, 3, 4) for ALL your network traffic
- disable DHCPserver on the wrt160N
The DHCP server/internetport causes the problems on the wrt160n, so the router dropped the wired/wireless internetconnection).
The DHCP server on the modem/router works good, "he is the boss in your network" : disable the dhcp-server on the linksys wrt160N, it can conlict anymore and don't want to be the boss anymore in your network.
One DHCP-boss in your network is enought !
Setup:
router ip = 192.168.1.9
DHCP server --> disabled (don't forget !!)
Wireless: Manual
BASIC WIRELESS SETTING :
network mode = Wireless-G only ( my laptop has G ... and no N)
Networkname (SSID) = PIETJE&puk (example)
standard channel = 11 - 2.462GHZ (no conflicts with my DECTphone anymore)
SSID broadcast = disabled
WIRELESS MACFILTER (OPTIONAL) : ENABLED
access restictions= permit PC's ....
mac adres list = < wireless macadres laptop/pc >
administration:
router password = THis&4evER (example of storng passowrd )
(wireless)remote access = disabled

WRT320N & IBM T42 laptop keeps dropping wireless connection at key times

I have an IBM T42 laptop whihc keeps dropping the wireless connection at what seems to be the same time windows each day.
I have my cable modem connected to my WRT320N.
My wireless it set up as follows :
Manual configuration
Wireless Band = 2.4Ghz (Think it needs to be this for the T42 wireless).
Network Mode = Mixed
Channel Width = 20Mhz only
Channel = 2
It seems to be that at approx 8pm each night when using the latop downstairs, the wireless connection will drop and then fail to reconnect for a period of time. I reboot the laptop and it will then begin to work again. The wireless connection does seem to keep trying to connect but it cannot maintain the connection to the router.
Any ideas?

Well I've pretty much given up trying to get this router to work so have spoken to the supplier I bought it off who said it's now discontinued by Linksys - all support is through them now. Took it up with them went through all the steps I've done to try and troubleshoot it (helps to be an IBM engineer as I logically follow procedures through).
I've RMA''d the router and hope it's replacement works better. I've just unbricked my old WRT54GS to make do whilst I wait for a replacement - back down to 100mb traffic - I'll miss my gigabit switch for a while!

E4200 - constantly getting drop wireless connection

First, if you only plan on using the ports on the back for network connections, I have had no problems. My issues are all deal with the wireless connections. I am constantly getting dropped and when I called Cisco/Linksys support, I was told that I needed to turn off my wireless N and have all the devices connect at a slower speed.

First of all please verify that you have got a 802.11n card in your computer. New generation routers (i.e. E4200) speaks an entirely different language than 802.11g cards, so while those adapters can work with the E4200 for example, they are not optimized to work with it. It is like having to translate from one language to another in real time when going from N to G... So in those cases the old router will show a stronger signal than the new one.
SECOND, make sure the adapter driver is up to date.
Try to do the following steps:
A] With the help of Cisco Connect Software (if at all you have installed the router with the help of this software)
          1] Open the software and go to the option which says "Router Settings"
          2] Then click on the option which says "Advanced Settings" which will take you to the router's configuration page.
         3] Then go to the Wireless tab, keep network mode as mixed,
For Channel Settings of 2.4 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 6, 9, 11..
For Channel Settings of 5 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 40 or 161...
B] If you haven't installed Cisco Connect then you can log on to the router's user interface using it's default IP address in the browser which is 192.168.1.1 and type in 'admin' as the password leaving the username field blank. This will take you to the router's web interface and then follow steps as mentioned above to make the changes.
