Linksys E4200 - has to reboot to connect again with the internet
I bought the E4200 a month ago (replaced D-link DIR-655) and since then I have to reboot it twice.
I have a NAS connected to the router (and router to cable modem) and sometimes I have to FTP files from abroad. If I use the FTP too much time the E4200 just loose connectivity with the internet. Once home I have to reboot it in order to connect again with the internet. It never happen me before with the D-Link.
Does anybody has a similar problem?
Thanks!
Actually mine is working great now, almost as if it had a break-in period.
Mine has not flashed once in the past day (or more) and the last time I rebooted it was Wednesdsay evening (only to see if I could stop the flashing which was still happening
at that time).
I was also online on an interactive (gaming / gambling) site that is very quick to report what it considers "disconnects" if it sees any weakness in the connection to its servers and when using the E4200 it did NOT disconnect a single time all day yesterday.
(My Belkin N1 Vision wireless router connection via my Rosewill RNX-N1 USB adapter had been "disconnecting" multiple several days in a row although I was able to surf the web without issues while it reported me as disconnected).
Possible reasons everything is fine:
1) I placed the router's four ridiculously tiny feet on four thick wooden drink coasters
to give it more breathing room.
The flashing stopped a day or two later... (Keep in mind the router is less than a week old, so the reason it stopped flashing could be unrelated).
My wireless signal strength does seem to be sensitive to a 5.8 GHz cordless phone strangely even though it is a 2.4 GHz wireless adapter.
Just turning the phone (which has an INternal anntenna and is about 3 1/2 feet away from my wireless adapter at the moment) 15 or 20 degrees immediately changed the wireless signal quality from 4 bars to 3 bars and vice versa!!!
2) As far as my needing to reboot it that one time (during the first full day I owned the E4200):
I had been switching between two different model Rosewill wireless adapters a few times that afternoon (same chipset, same driver I believe and even show up as
same device in 32 bit Windows 7 Device Manager) without restarting the router after each switch
Since that one reboot, everything has been fine and my connection has been solid (pingtest.net tests over wireless produce an 'A' and speed has been for the most part relatively stable at 130 Mbps).
I hope thay helps others here (especially Part 1 above).
So overall I am extremely happy now.
I now just need to see what the implications are by the current lack of official IPv6 support in the E4200 (will post separately about that).
I noticed that my "IPv6 connectivity" on the wireless connection showed "no internet".
I just ran some IPv6 tests online (on two separate sites) and they passed and, lo and behold, now it shows "internet access" (again) for IPv6 (and not just IPv4 as it did before)!

My Safari Icon ( Button) is missing on my iMac after I downloaded a update. How can I get the icon (Button Safari) back on my desktop and connecting again to the Internet ?...
Thanks for the helpOften when people think they've deleted an application, what's really happened is that they deleted its icon from the Dock. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Applications
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-A to open the Applications folder. If the application is in that folder, drag it to the Dock (not to the Desktop or anywhere else.) The other Dock icons will move out of the way to make a place for it. -
every time I stop using mac and close the lid, when I open it again it will not connect to the Internet... only can get it to work again by rebooting... help!!!
I am having this problem also.
It does not happen if I duplicate, edit, and save. Of course, I don't want to have to duplicate and edit every file. As original poster said, the file is not locked, the get info box says that I do indeed have permission to edit, and the Time Machine lock preference is turned off.
How can this be fixed?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Itunes wont connect me with the iphone server to upgrade
I am getting really ticked about this one. I had this in both tiger and now in Leopard. I cannot connect with the itunes store to access my iphone update. the request times out, and then itunes gives me an error message saying I do not have permission to access the requested source. Anyone have clues about this? I didn't start having problems until I got the iphone. I also have frequent error messages from the store saying that my connection was lost and the it has reset. I have checked all firewall issues, and no connection issues with the internet.
Does anyone out there have help?Yes, that's the case. Just as my iPhone 3G has topped out at version 4.2 while the newer iPhones, iPod Touches, and the iPads are on 4.3.

My iMac 27" is 2 years old. The screen just start to sleep every 2-3 minutes and then one has to reboot it. I bought the unit from Incredible Connections in South Africa. They sent it to the South African distributors Core. They report LCD screen defect and charged me R7500-00 to replace the screen and sent it back after 4 weeks.
It does not go to sleep anymore; but when switch on; there appears a flickering band of lines on the screen which last for about 20 seconds before the machines starts to work normally.
It seems there is still a screen problem!
We had to send it back again.
The other problem is that you just get no communication out of the Core workshop and you cannot communicate with the technician.
They had still not provide a technical report in spite of repeated discussion with the manager of Incredible Connections.Sounds like the graphics card might be the problem. Run the Hardware Test in extended mode. If you get an error it can be trusted, but getting a negative may not be all that meaningful. Bring it back to them and let them check out the machine again.

It has been on this black screen with the apple logo and some small white writing at the top of the screen for many hours. I've tried rebooting it and connecting to iTunes but nothing has worked.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!It likely means there was still water inside it and something has now shorted out and permanently damaged one or more components. THE very worst thing you can do with wet electronics is energize them - even a small drop of water inside on any of the circuitry or electrical contacts can cause catastrophic damage.
Take it to Apple for a free evaluation, but most likely you will need to replace it. For the out of warranty fee ($269.00 USD) you will get a refurbished replacement (like new, with a factory new screen and battery). An out of warranty replacement will also re-instate your remaining warranty, or 90 days warranty, whichever is longer. -
i am using for first time the time machine and an external hard drive because I want to erase my macbook and start from zero files. Am i keeping my files in the portable hard disk when I will connect it again with the macbook or the time machine will erase all?
I would like to know if after I erase all my data, empy hard drive inside the macbook, the time machine will erase all my files that I have saved in my "WD "My passport" external hard driveWelcome to Apple Support Communities
Time Machine has to erase the external disk in order to make backups. Before setting Time Machine up, copy the files of your external disk to the hard disk of the Mac in order not to lose them, and then, set up Time Machine. The first backup will start automatically.
If you want more information about Time Machine, read the Pondini's site > http://pondini.org -
hey everyone.. i have a problem with my 3Gs iphone.. i updated to the ios5 and now when i open it says that i have to connect it with the itunes. when i connect it says that has an error 28 something like that.. can anyone help me to fix it?? Regards
Error 23, 28, 29: These errors may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Also attempt to restore while connected with the white USB Dock Connector cable that shipped with your device, on a known good computer and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value, (00 499901 064000 0), can also confirm a hardware issue. Out-of-date or incorrectly configured security software can also cause these errors.

How can I count time that a computer has been connectted with the internet
I want to count the time which a computer has been connectted with the internet?
I had already tried several times,
one is socket,
second is Runtime.exec("ping -n 1"+ip)
I don't think they are better;
do you have another idea?The internet is a conceptual entity not a physical entity so you are never connected to it.
As a conceptual entity the internet is represented by a cloud of computing devices (computers, gateways, routers, etc.)
Your computer connects to a another computer by being routed through various devices and then finally connecting to that remote computer.
Depending on various thing you can measure the time that you can connect to other devices by either pinging a common IP in the internet (such as yahoo.com) or by pinging the router that that represents the entry point for your cloud (such as the router/gateway of your ISP.)
If you are concerned about a particular connection, such a specific remote computer, then using a socket and sending a 'keep-alive' message and recieving the response is the best way to track that. -
Dear All Has anyone found a break through with the issue of Connect to itunes to use push notifications
Did you get any help on this? From what I can see from surfing this site, it's a BUG that no one has offered a solution to. It sometimes happens after a 'reset' and going to ITunes does not offer a way to 'set up push notifications'.

I frequently get the messages "windows couldn't sign you out" (I am signed out) ,"not connected to in the internet" with prompts to sign in again (I don't) and "you're currently working offline", with a prompt to connect to my own locked wireless. None of these statements are true and I ignore the prompts (although my husband did re-sign on to our router once). I find that if I unplug the phone line and then plug it in again, it works. Strange. Is someone trying to get my password?

Can't connect wirelessly to the Internet
Hi all,
hope someone can help me with this.
I'm running OSX 10.3.9, have an ADSL Nation X-Modem and AirPort Express.
My wireless network is up and running, I have strong signal and AirTunes can connect and play fine wirelessly.
However, when I try to open Safari and connect to the Internet, it doesn't connect ("Can't find Server.")
When I plug the X-Modem direct into the Mac with the Ethernet cable, I can connect to the internet fine, so the modem and cable don't seem to be the problem. I've tried running throgh the AirPort Express SetUp Assistant and restarted AirPort and rebooted everything many times. In Network Preferences, it says it's happily connected, has IP address etc, but I still can't connect wirelessly to the Internet?
Any help greatly appreciated!
thanks
NatOK, here it is again
First you plug the Ethernet cable from your Internet modem into the AE. Then plug it in. The light will go amber. Run the Airport Setup Assistant. Create a new wireless network. Call it what you want. Enter the information about your modem, in the fields just like you do for your Ethernet connection on your PC or Mac. This means DHCP or static IP and subnet..... most if you use DHCP will be filled in for you. Now that you have saved the info and the AE has restarted, look for the network that you named in the available networks. If you have set it up to dish out IP addresses, it will give you one. If you have started out with WEP or WPA the connection process is much more difficult at first.
I leave it wide open until I can connect to it and then I create MAC access lists. I'll leave all the security stuff to you after you get it working basically.
Run Airport Admin Utility. It will scan the area for AEs and AEBSs and you can select yours from the list. Click on configure. Here is where you set all the details up on how you want it to work. Here you can configure the details, place your securities etc. Notice that you are accessing it wireless and then you can go through the various Tabs to configure how you want it to operate.
There is an Internet tab. This will show you how it is configured. It should look the same as your NIC parameters did when you hooked straight to the modem. There are also many more tabs that allow you to configure each area, like do you want it to be the gateway of your network, dish out IP addresses etc. My advice is to let it do that if more than one machine will connect and you don't require defined addresses to get to say a server.
The two important areas are the Internet and the LAN area. These tell it how to interact with your modem, and the machines trying to connect to it. If the AE doesn't see the modem or can't interact with it, one of the parameters is wrong. Same goes for the LAN side of things.

My safari doesn't work sometimes, but I connect with the internet.
my safari doesn't work sometimes, but I connect with the internet. Some of the videos I can't see with the Safari browser, but I can see it with other brower. But my friend can see these videos with her safari. And I can not connect with the app store sometimes.
Before you try to configure the settings on your Router, first thing which you need to do is, Press and hold the reset button for 60 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 60 seconds and re-connect the power cable...
Connect the Modem to the Linksys Router on the Internet Port and then connect your computer to the Linksys router on the LAN Port 1. On your Computer click on Start - Run - CMD and click Ok... Now in the Command Prompt window type "ipconfig" and hit enter and note down the "IP address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway" , Now again in the Command Prompt window type "ping default gateway IP" and hit enter and check if you are getting any replies, If yes then you can login to the setup page of the configure all the settings on it from scratch.

IMac Intel Core Duo no longer connects automatically to the internet
Since the OS 10.4.8 update my iMac will not connect automatically to the internet. It does show that it is hooked to my "preferred" network which is an Airport network but it will not connect to the internet. There are listed solutions but none of them work on my machine and there are others with the same problem. My daughter's iMac Core 2 Duo works just fine as well as my G4 iBook. I've removed all the listed networks from my list and added back the one I want, doesn't work. I made sure that Airport is at the top of the networks to try to hook to, no go. I'm starting this new post because the old one is marked "solved" which it clearly is not. Thanks in advance for any new ideas (actually I'm hoping Apple realizes this is still an issue).

ive been having problems with my inet. heres what will sometimes work but sometimes not, i wish i could offer a more solid workaround but i think it must come from the experts at apple in the form of a patch or similar software remedy.
when your inet acts up try this: unplug the power from your modem(i got an actiontec dsl with the lil antenna on back gt701-wg) i leave mine off for 1 minute minimum but that maybe overkill. i turn off my airport then shut down my apple 24". let it stay of a minute too to be on the safe side. i power my modem up and power the computer up. let the lights stop flashing on the modem plug in an ethernet cable from modem to comp and open safari. you may or may not get connected but wait until it either connects or gives you the cannot connect to inet. close safari unplug the ethernet cable. open your airport then wait till you see the black rainbows bars appear in the lil icon. open safari now and it should work. be warned this does not always work consistantly and it might open pages very slowly however it may give you download speeds of up to 700+kbps depending on the site and file size. i just did this to mine 20 minutes ago and it has been working perfectly again(knock on wood) opens pages fast and 5 bars on the rainbow scale without dropping off still. im not saying this is an answer but i hope it helps until a true fix is available. please dont be upset if it sometimes doesnt work because it happens to me like that too. i wish you the luck i had on mine today. happy early tday
