Linksys EA3500 Smart Wifi random disconnects

I have been experiencing this issue for quite some time now.
Ever since ive upgraded the firmware to the smart wifi one
every device connected to my router (ipad, laptop by lan cable etc)
randomly gets disconnected and then reconnects after 2-3 mins
Its frustrating to keep experiencing this and i cant find a solid solution online
If this still persists, im considering downgrading the firmware to the old one
looking for experts asap.
Thanks in advance

Was a Factory Reset performed before and after any firmware updates then set up from scratch?

Router Placement
Forum User - "Well I feel really dumb. After moving the router away from other electronic devices my speeds are back to normal. Just a heads up for anyone experiencing slow speeds, you might want to move it away from other electronics and see if that helps."
3-6' feet minimum safe distance between devices.
Placement on main level floor and central in the building and WELL ventilated is preferred. Not in basements or closets as building materials, or near by electronics devices could interfere or hinder good signal propagation.

Wifi randomly disconnects from my macbook pro running 10.9.2.

Wifi randomly disconnects from my macbook pro running 10.9.2. Rebooting is necessary to regain the wifi connection. The wifi power indicator indicates a full connection, but the card sees no wifi networks. I have renamed the location, deleted and reinstalled the wifi interface, moved the wifi inerface to the top, and reset the DNS. This problem is continual and occurs with all wifi spots. Please help.

It seems that the wifi on the computer shuts off and will not turn on until the computer has been rebooted. Can someone poease help?

My ipod touch 4g wifi randomly disconnects, any solution? my firmware is 4.3.1.

Hi,
I have an ipod 4th gen. It has firmware 4.3.1. I have a very annoying problem that my wifi gets disconnected randomly with no particular reason. The signal strength is excellent in my laptop. Also, when I see safari not responding, and then when I open settingh->wifi, after a few moment the ssid automatically appears and it shows connected, but as soon as I am away from this page and go to safari, it again disconnects. It is quite annoying, I searched the web forums and only saw people with problems with no solution. Will apple do something about their product.

Even through you think it connects, I doubt that it has. Tap Settings > WiFi > and then tap the blue ">" next to the network name with the check mark. What you will see next is all of your connection information.
If you are truly connected, your device will have an IP address, a full subnet mask, a router IP address and a couple of DNS addresses. However, I think you will either have nothing or a device IP address that starts with 169.x. What you are seeing is caused by your router, not your touch.
Things that may cause this are old routers, old router firmware, WEP encryption, a router that hasn't been rebooted in a while, and so on. You might want to check your router first - is there a firmware upgrade available, have I actually ever shut the thing off, am I using WEP (change to WPA2 which is far more secure), etc. Then try this:
Reboot your router by unplugging it from the power source
Reset the touch network settings - tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
When the touch restarts, tap Settings > WiFi > Other and re-enter your network name, security, and network password.

My wifi randomly disconnects

I did the tech support and I selected the wifi as the problem and they said to send me serial no but I don't know how?

Go into settings, general, about, and scroll down to where it says 'Serial Number'

I can't login into smart wifi router outside home?

Hey.
Do I need to portforward a port for logging into my Linksys EA6500 smart wifi router from outside home? I can only login when I'm om LAN or wifi..
Another question: Can I only login to the same router using an app? Isn't there a way to login via browser?
Thx.
Solved!

You should be able to access your router anywhere for as long as you're able to create an account and able to associate your router properly. Have you done that? And yes, you can use a browser to access the router. For more info about the Smart Wi-fi router you have, you refer to the links below:

Ea3500 linksys smart wifi reboots every 5 secs

can not connect my ea3500 (v1.1.39....) with linksys smart wifi from iphone 5s iOS 7.1.2 it reboots every 2-5 secs endlessly
also can not connect it from the web via latest firefox and IE after input in my login and password the circle spins endlessly
reboot doesnt help, only restore
tired of restoring it
does anyone have this problem? maybe new sw is needed?

Ok so the router is ok but the app on your iphone reboots? Have you done a full power off on your phone lately? If that doesnt work try a reboot on your iphone.
Begin by holding the sleep/wake button at the top right of the device and the Home button at the bottom center of the face at the same time.
Hold them both until you see the screen go black. In some cases, you may need to keep holding them even after the red power-off slider appears. If it appears, just keep holding it
Wait until the silver Apple logo appears.
When this happens, you can let go - the iPhone is rebooting

My phone will randomly disconnect from the wifi and when I retype the password it says it is wrong. It will eventually work but I have to wait for a message to pop up on my screen to allow me to retype the wifi password.

When I first got my phone it worked perfectly fine with the wifi. Although later on I began to have problems connecting it. It will randomly disconnect from the wifi and when I try to retype the password it tells me it is wrong, although it is right. It will eventually work but in its own time, a message will pop up and allow me to type in the password and it will work. But sometimes it takes an hour or more and sometime it takes 10 minutes. I've seen where other people have had this problem but I don't know how to fix it. I'm not sure if it's an issue with my phone or if it's with my wifi. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Does this happen with all Wi-Fi hotspots? A specific one?
Have you tried forgetting the Wi-Fi connection and then reconnecting to it?
What about power cycling the Wi-Fi router?

After updating 8.1 , wifi still randomly disconnect sometimes. It never happened to me when i had iphone 4. That's really hard to accept.

After updating 8.1 , wifi still randomly disconnect sometimes. It never happened to me when i had iphone 4. That's really hard to accept.
Is it worth 900 dollars for a smartphone that has so many issues ? After 3 updates? After 1 month? I wasted 2 gb of mobile internet cause of ios 8.
And battery is terrible.

same here, iphone 6 plus 64 gb.
additionally in 5 ghz networks the wifi connection is very slow or there is no data transfer possible ( the wifi icon is already there and in a good status) other devices hasn't any problems in that network

Linksys smart Wifi error while deleting offline device from device list

i have Cisco Ea4500 with linksys smart wifi, each time i try delete offline device i get error message.
anyone can help?

What browser did you use in deleting offline devices? Are you doing it under the Device list? If yes, normally it should be deleted because those are widgets only. Can you try your other browsers? And do it on the main computer.

EA6900 Can't connect to Router error message from Linksys Smart Wifi

Hello Everyone, I am having an issue where I cannot remotely access my router. I currently have Charter as my ISP and have internet connectivity when at home. I can also access my router through Smart Wifi when on my local connection. When I try to access remotely I get the "Can't connect to the router" error message. I believe that I have enable the correct settings on my router to provide this service. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance. Mike Carlin

Thanks for the reply. ISP: Charter CableModem: Wish I could tell you at this point, but not at home and can't remember specifics. I thought that I did the association. Is this what you are talking about?http://www.linksys.com/us/support-article?articleNum=140177

Linksys Smart WiFi doesn't support IE11

Has anyone had trouble accessing Linksys Smart WiFi with IE11. I keep getting browser not supported and it won't let me in. I can't even get in using the routers IP settings.

This was my fix! I downloaded Mozilla FireFox, installed and it worked great with Smart WiFi. I then tried IE11 again and guess what? It worked like a charm and is still working. Go Figure!

Port used for Linksys Smart Wifi

Good day,
Please i would like to find out the port used for Linksys Smart Wifi Login via the Internet. I have blocked alot of ports on my router and i am not able to login via the Internet again.

Blocking unknown isn't normally required because the router firewall does that normally. Blocking specific port is good but you need to know what they are used for. UPnP devices will open ports as needed if you have UPnP enabled on the router.
Sorry I don't know the specific ports or process remote access uses. I sure it's a dial out feature and not a dial in.
Please remember to Kudo those that help you.

Wifi keeps randomly disconnecting

Over the last week all of my Apple products (iMac, iPads, iPhones) keep randomly disconnecting from my wireless network. Any suggestions or fixes?

Found out that it it a problem with my router. Just had a factory reset by the ISP provider and so far it is working OK. Hope that has fixed the problem.

Random Disconnection From My Wireless Access Point

I got my MacBook a few weeks ago, wand I'm loving it... for the most part.
Info: I've been using my Linksys WRT54G router for years. I've never had a problem. I currently have a desktop Mac connected to it along with my MacBook, and the connection on the Mac is fine.
*The problem:* My MacBook doesn't hold a steady connection to my router, even when I'm just mere feet away.
*What happens:* I have a very strong connection on my WiFi with the built-in AirPort. Then, a few seconds later, all of the 4 bars drop to 0 for a few seconds, jump back to 4, go back down to 0... you get the picture. I find this frustrating, as the internet may shut down for a minute at a time, regain connection for a few seconds, and then lose connection after about 10 seconds. I am unable to use iChat (it shuts down whenever I lose connection), or easily browse the internet.
*I know it's not the router. My desktop Mac connects with ease. Should I take my MacBook to a Genius Bar?*
