Please help!
Router is Linksys WRT54GS

I've had the exact same issue. Same router and everything. Worked like a charm with Snow Leapord but since the update it doesn't.
Unfortunately the WRT54GS is from 2005 and there are not longer Firmware updates available for that model.
http://homesupport.cisco.com/en-us/wireless/lbc/WRT54GS
On Mac's there is problem with wireless access points using a 2.4GHz/5GHz mixed mode if both parts of the wireless network have the same name (SSID) but due to technical rules two different addresses (BSSID) for the different wireless modes.
On that the Mac switches between the radio bands to provide allways "the best" connection.
That causes disassociation from the wireless what shows you then the well known effects in your wireless.
Also a band hopping "Guest Network" may disturb the connection if there is no dedicated name (SSID) is set for the Guest Network.
On the WRT54GS
Check that the "Guest Network" is disabled.
Check that WPA2 Personal AES (not TKIP) is the security mode. See -> http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=80&vw=1&articleid=22050
Eventually change network mode from mixed (default) to "wireless-N Only" or "wireless-G Only" if the 2nd BSSID cause trouble with the Mac. -> http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=80&vw=1&articleid=22555
On the Mac
Generally follow the instructions here -> http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=80&vw=1&articleid=15805
On System Setup - Airport (WiFi) main page uncheck (disable) "Ask to join new networks"
Eventually set up a new location for your home network.
Eventually delete all obsolete wireless networks from the "known networks" list including your WRT54GS
Delete also the corresponding key's from Kechain Acceess
Reboot the Mac
Configure your home wireless on the Mac from scratch.
Eventually try the Linksys Forum to find more information.

  • Preview issue. Send to iPhoto option is grayed out after Lion upgrade

    Preview issue. Send to iPhoto option is greyed out after Lion upgrade.
    In Snow Leopard it was an option to send pics from Preview to iPhoto, but now it is greyed out if I right-click on the pic. I have searced and tried everything, but I cannot fix it, so does anyone have a fix for it? Please :-)

    I can offer no help but would also like to see this issue resolved.  Firstly, it would be useful to know if this problem is seen by everyone.  When viewing photos in Preview, with thumbnails in the sidebar, right-clicking on any of the thumbnails results in this:
    Prior to the upgrade to Lion, "Send to iPhoto" was not greyed out and worked as expected.

  • Website login keeps timing out after 15 to 20 minutes

    Since I upgraded to Firefox 7.0, a website that I log into and use continually has started logging me out after 15-20 minutes. I continually clear cookies & cache but it seems to be an unrelated problem. This is the only website I'm having an issue with, but also the only one I use so continuously.

  • Firefox keeps timing out after 10 seconds. this is too short for big sites, how can I change this?

    I regularly use a very busy download site and find that Firefox closes me out of any part of the site, not just the current tab, when it times out after a max.10 seconds - seems less! I want to be able to allow the page to continue loading until it opens - because it will, just not in 10 seconds during busy times.

    "Clear the Cache": Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
    "Remove the Cookies" from sites causing problems: Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    If clearing the cookies doesn't help then it is possible that the file ''cookies.sqlite'' that stores the cookies is corrupted.
    You can rename (or delete) '''cookies.sqlite''' (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete '''cookies.sqlite-journal''' and '''cookies.txt''', if they exist, in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] in case cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

  • I bought a WRT320N Linksys router and keeps dropping out

    I bought a Linksys WRT320N Router about 2 weeks ago. I am very upset that I did not take time to do my home work before I got screwed. I brought the router home and connected it. I am pretty familiar with networking these routers, I had the thing connected for about an hour, everything going good and then my wireless dropped out, my son started complaining he could not get his playstation 3 to work over the net, and then I did a speed test for the internet speed. I got 1 MB/s (Normally I am pegging around 30 MB/s, which is like flying, at least for me.) I was waiting for about 40-60 seconds for my homepage to come up. Disconnected my router from the computer and plugged direct into the modem and found I was still pegging 30 MB/s. Plugged back into the router and sure enough I was at 1 MB/s.I reset the router and charged on. The next day, same thing. So I called Linksys and told them what was going on. Well for one, the person on the other end of the line did not know about routers, I do not think she could even pronounce router if she tried. I spent 1.5 hours on the phone with her. After it was all done and over with her reply was " When it happens again, call us" . Oh yea, I want to spend another hour on the phone going through reset this, reset that. I already have done that.
              Anyway, I got on this post and looked up my router thinking you guys may have better ideas than linksys, and of course you did. I read that these routers are overheating. So I connected a fan to the bottom of the router and I have air being sucked through the router cooling it down. So far it works okay. I went 1 week and 2 days before I had to reset. I connected a themometer to the case of the router and what did you know without the fan the router was running around 100 degrees F, the router was hanging in the air so it had plenty of ventilation. If the case is 100 deg. F, the insides must be frying. When I have the fan running the temperature of the case stays at room temperature or just a degree above. It must work some because I was going from resetting everyday to resetting every 1.5 weeks. I will keep you apprised of how the router is doing. I just have to say, Never again will I buy a linksys product. I will buy another brand until the engineers at linksys can figure out how to correct the router they have out there.
    (Mod note: Edited for guideline compliance. Thank you.)

    It is not possible that all WRT320N Wireless router's would act same, maybe the router you bought went bad, you should replace the router with the same model and that should resolve all your issues...

  • Laserjet 1505 connected to AEB 802.11n via USB keeps timing out after print

    I have a HP Laserjet 1505 connected on my AEB 802.11n via USB and shared on my network, on my network are two macs connected via wifi and 3 WinXP PC connected via wire. I have Bonjour and WinXP laserjet drivers installed on all Win PC. Everytime I print from any of the computers, it will print the first time, but when I try printing again from any of the machines, the macs and winxp pc's cannot detect the printer. When I go to airport utility, the printer cannot be detected anymore. I have to hard reset the AEB for it to detect the laserjet printer again. But the same thing happens again after I print out another document. Has anybody encountered this kind of problem. Can anyone help me resolve this?

    Here is what I got from HP support :
    The driver for the Laserjet P1006 is not available yet for Os 10.5...we are hoping it will be release in the next week or so...please click on the link below to sign up for an email update as soon as it is available..As a workaround, some people have been able to use the 10.4 driver from the cd, but this is not guaranteed to work in all applications therefore the only solution is to wait and install the 10.5 driver.
    So we wait.

  • Why does iphoto keep shuting down after Lion upgrade

    Why won't Iphoto load since upgrading to Lion?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Step 1
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Post the messages from the time of the last crash, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot.
    Step 2
    Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. For privacy’s sake, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)

  • I can't connect to Wi-Fi - keeps timing out. No problem connecting from other laptops / phones. Stopped working after I did a system upgrade. What can I do?

    I can't connect to Wi-Fi - keeps timing out. No problem connecting from other laptops / phones. Stopped working after I did a system upgrade. What can I do? I am on OS X Yosemite.

    Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved. Some of these steps are only possible if you have control over the wireless router.
    Step 1
    Turn Wi-Fi off and back on.
    Step 2
    Restart the router and the computer. Many problems are solved that way.
    Step 3
    Change the name of the wireless network, if applicable, to eliminate any characters other than letters and digits. You do that on your router via its web page, if it's not an Apple device, or via AirPort Utility, if it is an Apple device.
    Step 4
    Run the Network Diagnostics assistant.
    Step 5
    In OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and fix the issues listed in the Summary, if any.
    Step 6
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Enter the name of your wireless network in the search box. You should have one or more "AirPort network password" items with that name. Make a note of the name and password, then delete all the items. Quit Keychain Access. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. Reconnect to the network.
    Step 7
    You may need to change other settings on the router. See the guidelines linked below:
    Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    Potential sources of interference
    Step 8
    Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
    Step 9
    Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).

  • HT4623 I am having trouble with my iPod 5th gen after iOS update. It's in recovery mode and iTunes keeps timing out when I try to restore it. What should I do???

    I am having trouble with my iPod 5th gen after iOS update. It's in recovery mode and iTunes keeps timing out when I try to restore it. What should I do??? If possible, I would also like to keep all of my data.

    Maybe this will help:
    Troubleshooting
    As with all clickwheel iPods, you can reset this iPod by first toggling the hold switch on and off and then simultaneously pressing the select (center) and menu buttons for approximately 5-10 seconds. This is a common fix should your iPod behave unexpectedly or lock up. Once reset, the iPod should display an Apple logo for a few seconds before showing the main menu. This procedure is similar to rebooting a computer and damages none of your music or data.

  • Resolving timed out after 10000 milliseconds

    i keep getting this error when trying to run pacman but my internet is working fine
    if you need more detailed info please ask
    error: failed retrieving file 'core.db' from mir.archlinux.fr : Resolving timed out after 10000 milliseconds
    error: failed retrieving file 'core.db' from mir1.archlinux.fr : Resolving timed out after 10000 milliseconds
    error: failed retrieving file 'core.db' from archlinux.limun.org : Resolving timed out after 10000 milliseconds

    Happens to me as well, however only on my home network. If i am on another connection it works, which really confuses me
    Edit : Found the solution to this, as I suspected it was a DNS lookup issue, caused by my router being the one doing the resolution.
    Follow these steps to solve it.

  • [SOLVED] error: Resolving timed out after 10000 milliseconds

    EDIT: it was a DNS lookup problem. I don't know why but it is better to manually specify nameservers in resolv.conf than in the home router control panel (a NETGEAR DGN2200v3). See the #3 post.
    Hi
    I just installed arch and I need to downgrade to xorg 1.12 to be able to use catalyst proprietary driver (legacy).
    As I read into the wiki, I added the two required repos:
    [catalyst-hd234k]
    Server = http://catalyst.wirephire.com/repo/catalyst-hd234k/$arch
    [xorg112]
    Server = http://catalyst.wirephire.com/repo/xorg112/$arch
    when I try to do an update, I get "database file does not exist".
    In logs appears a curl error 28, timeout error, but the repository is online (I can ping it and I can browse its contents with firefox).
    What can I do?
    sudo LANG=C pacman -Syy
    warning: database file for 'xorg112' does not exist
    warning: database file for 'catalyst-hd234k' does not exist

    thanks for replying. I edited the first post.
    Solved:
    After a lot of hours trying wget, aria2 and curl, with a lot of options, I just stopped observing pacman output behaviour in the console.
    Seemed that it was a DNS lookup problem but, in my resolv.conf, the specified nameserver was my home router.
    Anyway, I changed that specifying google's nameservers; is working now. It's a weird thing because in my homerouter I was already using google's nameservers. 
    Now I can open the repos in browser without lag.
    Example of my resolv.conf:
    Before:
    # home router nameserver
    nameserver 192.168.0.1
    After:
    #Google nameservers
    nameserver 8.8.8.8
    nameserver 8.8.4.4
    Thanks you help me so much love you

  • Why does my ipad keep timing out

    My ipad keeps timing out saying server timed out every time I search the web or try to check my email

    Maybe your firewall is causing the issue. Security/antivirus software can cause problems as well. Try rebooting your router. Sometimes that is all that it takes to keep you conected to the internet.
    Unplug the router from the power source for about 30 seconds and then plug it back in again. Restart your iPad as well. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • 13" 2.3 i5 wifi keeps timing out

    My one month only Macbook Pro 13 has suddenly developed a problem with the wifi.  It keeps timing out or it finds the network but can not connect to the internet.  I have a dell and 2 other PC's and PS3 and all other machines can connect so I know its not the router.  Is there a wider problem with the macbook pro 13?  I really need to know how to resolve this ASAP?

    I had a similar problem and I changed the channel on my router, and all seemed good from there, there might have been interference with other devices in the household.

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
