Linksys WAG325N connection drop

I've bought good router (Linksys WAG325N) few days ago and with Tiger all work perfectly. The problem is with Leopard from 10.5 till 10.5.2. The connection to the router every 1 or 2 hour drop, I have to turn Airport off then turn on again to bring connection back again. There is no answer from the router. I cannot ping it, so it is not a DNS problem, and Safari says the it is not connected to internet.
I've tried it with a MacBook Pro 2,5GHz and with an iMac 20 2,0GHz that have the same problem. The same computer (imac) with 10.4.11 has no problem, also the iPhone will continue to navigate. Do you have similar experience?

Can you confirm what wireless channel your linksys box is broadcasting the wifi network on?
On a 54g network you should only be using 1,6 or 11 and some people also report channel 1 also bleeds.
You may also have other networks in your area broadcasting on the same channel as you this would also cause dropouts.
so experiment with channel 6 or 11.

PPPoE Connection Drops streaming video on my Linksys WRK54G

So I just set up my Linksys WRK54G Version 1.1 to handle my PPPoE connection, meaning I entered the username and password assigned to me via my ISP. It works for a bit and then seems drop the connection all together. When this occurs, I cannot even ping the router (192.168.1.1). I have to unplug the AC Adaptor and then plug it in, inorder for the connection to pick up again. It seems when I try to access streaming video from a certain site (http://www.mtv2.com/#videoPremiere/1552982) and I have PPPoE setup via my router, the connection drops. If I change the setting to "Obtain an IP Automatically" and send my PPPoE credentials through my Windows XP client all is well. No issues what so ever.
I called Linksys and they had me try setting my MTU to 1400 but that did nothing. I have the most recent firmware as well. He then said that I will need to call my ISP and increase the bandwidth on my modem to get it to work (connect directly to my modem).
I have since reset the router, downloaded the newest episode of "Heroes" and fired up You Tube and watched a few streaming videos while grabbing the torrent. Everything looked ok.
I then went back to the MTV2 link I posted above (http://www.mtv2.com/#videoPremiere/1552982) and clicked play. At the same time I set up a continuous ping to the router. Sure enough, the connection dropped completely. Unplug the AC Adaptor to the router for 1 second, plug it back in and all is well. I am truly stumped here.
Is the issue perhaps a port issue with the video I am trying to stream from MTV2? It seems regular stress tests work ok.
PS - It seems someone else was having a similar problem here: http://www.dslreports.com/forum/rema...?hilite=wrk54g
UPDATE: I went to bed and woke up and my connection has dropped completely, and I was not even downloading anything?! Can someone please help me with this issue?

well...i guess u have tried almost everything possible on the router...try TCP optimiser .. this should adjust the MTU settings of the NIC card on the computer....
if u are having issues on the wireless computer, change channel - 1 or 11 , change beacon interval - 50 , RTS and fragmentation threshold - 2304 ...

MacBook keep disconnecting from LinkSYS WAG325N WiFi Modem/Router

Hello,
I've been using my MacBook for a really long time. Over 1.5 years I had no Wi-Fi connection problems until my US Robotics 9106 Modem stopped working. I bought a nice LinkSYS WAG325N Modem. From that moment on, my MacBook started to disconnect from LinkSYS's WiFi constantly. I used every wep/web2 etc. security protocols possible. Nothing worked.
With my US Robotics I used MAC Filtering which worked perfectly. I did the same settings to LinkSYS as you can guess that didn't help at all...
I did firmware update to my modem, it even got worse so I downgrade my modem to previous version.
I read almost every forum out there, no one has came up with a solution.
If anyone has any idea how to fix this problem, please do so, I need urgent help or else I need to take my modem back before 15th day of using it is over. And try to find some modem that my MacBook would like...
Thank you.

Hello,
Yes I tried with US Robotics, worked perfectly.
It worked at all caffe's wifi spots (I have no info about their modem/router)
Strange enough, I realised that, if I place my old wifi modem next to this one just connecting the power and turning the modem on, somehow macbook connects fine !? it is too weird, and nearly impossible to explain. but if I place these two modems together and connect with linksys, and the other is just on, no connection no nothing just its wifi is on, MacBook connects... but if I leave the room and go to the living room the problem occurs again.
And since all the other windows laptops connecting from living room has %85 signal power this modem is wonderful. But for a MacBook, it is nothing but pain.
If I get a chance, I'll ask a friend to bring his macbook here which is newer (core2duo) mine is core duo and see what happens.

Inconsistent WRT160N / WMP600N connectivity, drops.

Hi,
I installed a Linksys WRT160N router two days ago and am trying to get a desktop running Windows XP SP2 (+ WPA patch) to maintain a wireless connection to it, using a Linksys WMP600N card. I have NetZero DSL (it looks like they're leasing Verizon infrastructure) set up through the router; MAC address cloned, and this has been working great for my other computer, which is connected to the router via ethernet cable. However, the wireless desktop has very inconsistent access. The signal strength has always been "excellent" but often the connection to the router will either drop, interrupting internet use, or it won't even connect at all, despite repeated attempts. Other times it will connect to the router but the internet will be inacessible.
I read on these forums and elsewhere online that strong signal strength combined with connectivity problems is sometimes the result of interference caused by other wireless networks or devices like phones in the area. It was suggested that changing the channel in the router might work, and I did so last night (to channel 1). Once again things seemed to be OK. But just a few hours later, the connection dropped and then it was not able to reconnect for 45 minutes. All the while the signal strength has been excellent and internet use on the wired machine has been flawless.
How can I fix this?

I myself am having the same issue. I am able to connect for a few minutes at a time before losing the network all together (not just the internet, but I can't even pick up the signal). I've been trying to solve this issue for five hours and nothing I or the Linksys tech support could come up with was of any help. The support rep. I spoke with thought that maybe my WMP600N card was having issues with Windows 7 compatability, but I've used this card for a month with a WRT54G Wireless-G router with absolutely no issues as well as making sure the official Windows 7 driver was installed. I've done anything and everything I can think of, short of replacing the router which I may try tomorrow.

Connection Drops on a WRT350N

Anyone experiencing connection drops on a WRT350N. I set it to N only and I get drops. I set to G only and I have no drops. Using Dell E1505 with XP Pro SP2 and a Dell 1500 draft N wirless nic.
Linksys WRT350N v1 (Firmware Version 1.03.2)
Linksys WRT54G v3.1 (DD-WRT v23 SP2 09/15/06 std)
Linksys WRT54G v2 (DD-WRT v23 SP2 09/15/06 std)

I am still getting these same issues (for a couple months now). I had to lock my router down to G only just so I wouldn't get those drops. My issue is (besides the fact that it should work anyway) is that I have a G bridge so I cannot lock it to wide band.
My other problem is that it even drops my and my wife when wireless and wired still. She has problems connecting to her VPN unless we reboot everything (router, modem) and try again...and then it usually works for at least another day.
any ideas? I did receive the beta firmware (which wasn't said to even fix any of my current issues) but it did not help at all.

WRT160NL - Connection drops, Reboots, USB performance

WRT160NL - Connection drops, Reboots, USB performance
After reading many posts dating back several months regarding internittent connectivty drops, usb performance issues and users having to reboot there routers frequently with the WRT160NL, I was fairly convinced this is a FIRMWARE issue and not a config or hardware problem. Nevertheless after adjusting settings as per Linksys support, replacing my DSL modem, and yes RMA'ing my WRT160NL, I am still having these issues with this device which points definetly is the direction of "FIRWARE".
I'm hoping these posts are being acted on and escalated to Linksys(Cisco) so that we can get a resolution to our frustrating scenerio. I have seen post after post with similar issues and complaints. When are we going to see a FIRMWARE upgrade?

Same issues, same problems. Tried all suggested configurations from this forum. WRT160NL slows down and locks up after running 12 to 24 hours. Can not access router set up page after that. Running latest fireware. Considering putting it on a timer to reboot it every 12 hours. Must be a fireware issue or the entire production run is defective and should be recalled.

Help needed to Replace existing routers due to connection drop with Extreme

I currently have an old linksys router connected to my cable modem in the basement. I then have a second router connected via ethernet to the first router located upstairs since most of my computers are upstairs. I am having alot of connection drops with most of the computers. ONe of the computers hardly even connects to the network. Almost all of my computers are macbook pros/macbooks/imac except for 1 or 2 pcs. I would like to start fresh with the airport extreme/express. Should I set it up similar in that I have an airport extreme base station connected downstairs to the modem and then have a second extreme/express upstairs via the ethernet connection. I do have a printer upstairs as well that most of the computers use that is connected wirelessly.
Any other tips?

No,
Express has only one ethernet port which acts either as WAN input if plugged into a modem or as LAN output, if plugged into an end device (PC, Printer), so it cannot be used for input and output at the same time. I'd suggest you do this,
1/
- If modem must stay in the basement and cannot be moved upstairs
- Have modem in basement
- Run an ethernet cable from the modem to your Extreme's WAN port upstairs
- Have Express in the basement and connect it wirelessly
let it join your Extreme's network over wifi, if there is enough signal in the basement
- If there is no signal in the basement from upstairs' Extreme and Express finds
nothing or signal is unreliable, then you need to run an ethernet cable
from Extreme's LAN port (it has 3 in the back) and run it downstairs
and plug into your Express.
2/
- move the modem upstairs and keep the setup same as in 1/
- no difference, you still have to run the coax cable from basement,
so you drill no matter what
3/
- keep modem downstairs
- keep extreme downstairs connected to modem
- keep express upstairs and join it wirelessly to your Extreme's network
- plus side is - there would be no cables running upstairs
- downsides of this setup are:
you'll have router with only one ethernet port upstairs - so if you have"
multiple desktops, you will have to rely on wifi
Extreme's signal is stronger than Express's - I'd put it into a place where
my family spends most of the time
It all depends on your house setup, whether you have desktops or laptops only, ...
As a preference, I like to keep Extreme close to my main computer as I connect to it via ethernet rather than wifi (much better speed). My wifi is only for laptops and iPods.
Also, seing the Extreme's status light tells me what is going on without running to a basement when internet starts acting up.
Rule of thumb - if you can drill, then drill and take advantage of the gigabit speed as opposed to wifi's 100megabit or whatever your signal lets you get up to. This is very noticeable when streaming movies via Netflix, AirPlay etc...
If drilling is too much hassle, you live in an apartment unit or it's a transitory place for you, just use Wifi. If you are planning on living there for a while, cables will make you happier than wifi - no interference to worry about and better speed
It's up to you.
My apple TV is also connected to my Extreme via cable - speed is incredible. Wifi used to choke up every now and then.

Wifi Connection drops but still have all bars. Please Apple, respond us

I have a macbook pro 13''(purchased 1 month), a white macbook (bought in 2007) and a dell vostro 1310 (with windows 7) using the same router WRT54G2 Linksys or D-link 524
Only on my macbook pro 13''my connection drops without explanation and without a certain period (15 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours).
I'm with latest updates (both macbook as a router), already formatted and applied the 10.6.4 combo. I have already put ip manually turned off DHCP, DNS already placed manually, I swapped the channel router. Everything recommended in official forums, but nothing helped.
What makes me saddest is that Apple does not respond. Even with so many threads about this problem.

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

WVC54GCA Wireless connection drops off everyday.

I have to restart the camera everyday beacuse it looses it wireless connection. I don't have a lenght of time it stays connected. I'm using a Linksys WAP54G connected to a RVS4000 router. I see others are haveing the same problem. My laptop stays comnnected so I don't think it is the WAP.

You shouldn't have to do this, if you give each camera a fixed IP.
I have 4 cameras, I'm using one on a cable and the other 3 wirelessly.
The wireless ones all drop off and fall asleep at anytime during the day/night, but the one on thr cable doesn't.
I think, it's a communications/handshaking problem within the wireless network. When the wireless signal fluctuates too much, the cameras don't come back.
I solve this with a ping to the cameras. The first ping usually comes back dead with 100 % packet loss.
The second ping may take 3000 ms.
The third ping usually gets them back to normal, around 2-3 ms.
All is good after that (for a while).
I don't seem to have that problem, when the cameras are streaming. Sometimes I get a short break in the stream after a while. I've put this down to heat developing in the camera, but I'm not sure.
Anyway, Ithink, a static IP is a must for these cameras, if you use them wirelessly.
Cheers

WRT-310N connection drop

I used this brand new router for 2 weeks, hoping that it can resolve the disconnection problem. Howerver, it seems that it is like another D-Link WRB-2310 I have : the connection drops, sometime I had to restart router, sometimes start Refresh(from (WUSB54GC coming in software). I heared from forum that all this 50-150$ router of Linksys, D-Link, Belkin, netgear..... are ther same: It will loose connection but we do not know when it starts to loose. This troubles me a lot: the download is half-done(to retart); the graphics for stock real-time quote not refreshed, I had to do it again and again. I was told a CISCO wireless router( not Linksys-Cisco) of 500-1000$ range will resolve this problem It is true ? It is true, it would be better to buy this kind of better as I do not waste time on doing my job even though it is a little expensive. WRT-310N is fast and good at home with my kids for entetainement. Thanks a lot for your information and your help.

It is not possible that all the router's will give you the exact same problem...
Leave a computer connected straight to the modem for couple of hours and see if you encounter the same problem...If you encounter the same problem then I would say problem is with your modem...If you do not encounter any problems after leaving your computer connected to the modem then it has to be your router...
You should upgrade/flash your router's firmware, reset and re-configure it...
Download the Firmware from here
Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab-
Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful" After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
Now reset your router :
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 re-configure your router...
If your Internet Service Providor is Cable follow this link
If your Internet Service Providor is DSL follow this link
Adjust the Wireless Settings on your Router -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab
- Here select manual configuration...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
- Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
- Set the Radio Band to Standard-20MHz and change the Standard channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
For Wireless Security : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WEP, Encryption should be 64 bit.Leave the passphrase blank, don't type in anything...
Under WEP Key 1 type in any 10 numbers please(numbers only and no letters eg: your 10 digit phone number) and click on save settings...
Please make a note of WEP Key 1 as this is the Security Key for the Wireless Network...
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,
Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

Satellite L300 PSLBGE network connection drops at random times

Hey,
I've had this problem with my laptop since I bought it 1.5 years ago.
Now I run Windows 7 x64, with the latest bios (version 2.20-WIN; date 25/02/10), chipset and wireless (the card is a: Realtek Wireless LAN Adapter 8187B; driver version: 62.1182.0331.2010) drivers.
The problem is that my network connection drops at random times.
This happens both with my wireless and lan card and it happens with a variety of routers ( at work and at home I use a linksys wrt54gl but I have tried it on other routers with the same result).
I don't think this is a hardware fault since the network seems to work fine under Linux ( I've tried Ubuntu 10 ) . Also a while back I took it to the warranty service and they said the hardware is fine but I should "not use many programs at the same time and use Windowx XP".
From what I understand the various devices (wireless card, network card, webcam, etc) inside the laptop are connected to some sort of usb hub. My guess is that is something wrong with this 'hub' since the webcam is also working faulty.
Thanks,

>From what I understand the various devices (wireless card, network card, webcam, etc) inside the laptop are connected to some sort of usb hub. My guess is that is something wrong with this 'hub' since the webcam is also working faulty.
No, the WLan card and LAN card are not connected to any USB interfaces just the webcam so this cannot be any USB issue.
I think it could be an Windows issue since Linux is OK
I think you should check the power management settings in Win 7 and for Wlan /LAN card. This can be done in device manager -> WLan / LAN card properties -> Advanced tab.
I recommend also updating the Win 7 to the latest state install all updates and patches

RE1000 Connection dropped and SSID visible

Hi to all, I've two big problem with the extender in object, the first one is the wifi connection dropped, tested with 2 mac and 2 iphone, this is very boring because every 2-3 the devices are offline. The second problem is that I can't hide the SSID while with my router I can. What should I do?
Some specs.
Router: Linksys/Cisco X2000
wifi: mode = mixed
channel amp = Auto (20 o 40 MHz)
channel = standard
SSID tranmission = hide
protection mode = WPA2 Personal
firmware v = 2.0.01
Extender: RE1000
Automatic configuration DHCP
Wifi = manual
firmware v = 1.0.02

To resolve intermittent wireless connection, you need to perform the following:
i. Reducing Wireless Interference
ii. Customizing Wireless Settings of the ADSL Gateway
iii. Checking the Placement of the ADSL gateway
Here is the link for solving the problem if the connection is dropping: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=95fb621ead264dda8c438f655f710630_4261.xml&pid=80&r...
Second, there is no such feature in RE1000 which can disable the broadcast of the SSID.

Frequent Internet Connection Drops

I am a loyal Linksys user. Have used linksys routers for 3 years with no issues. Have recently experienced internet connection drops from my wireless computers, while the computers which are wired, access the internet without problems. I have 2 Lan connections (1 is a computer directly to router, the other is a Slingbox and Tivo box connected through a Slinglink Powerline Bridge). Wirelessly, I have 3 laptops and a Tivo box connected.
The problem began with my WRT54G v1.1 and now is occurring with the replacement WRT54G v6. The problem seems to be occurring with a conflict with the Slinglink. If I disconnect the Slinklink from the router and wirelessly repair the connections on the computers, access is restored without any reboots of router, modem or computers. Once access achieved, I can reconnect the Slinglink until the next drop.
More information can be provided as I have been monitoring this for 3 months. The problem is with the router and not the computers, Tivo, DSL modem or internet provider. The only common issues appears to be with the Slinglink or it's connections.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Warren

hi....have u by any chance assigned a static IP address to the slingbox ??? in case u have , ensure that u have assigned a static IP outside the DHCP pool of the router ( default DHCP pools of the router starts at 192.168.1.100 and ends at 192.168.1.149) ....In case u have not assigned a static IP address to the slingbox , i suggest that u do so...input the following details ofr your slinkbox network configuration....
ip address - 192.168.1.25
subnet mask - 255.255.255.0
gateway/router - 192.168.1.1
DNS 4.2.2.2....

BT Wi-Fi connection drops and cannot be closed

I use BT Wi-Fi on a monthly subscription - 500 minutes for £6 a month, plus 12p a minute for any extra minutes.
Occasionally my connection drops, and I have to reconnect and login again, which I can do OK.
But when I check later how many minutes I used, via my online subscription info, it's clear that I end up with two connections running in parallel. The connection which dropped carries on as active in the background somewhere until it is eventually auto-disconnected (after 15 or 20 minutes ?) due to inactivity. So I lose those minutes each time this happens.
There is no way to close the dropped connection. Even if I log out of my new 2nd connection, it only closes that one, not the dropped one which I can't access.
Today this happened when I was at the end of my monthly allowance, so because I couldn't close the connection I've now gone around 30 minutes over my allowance, which will cost me £3.60.
Please can we have a way of closing all connections on a BT Wi-Fi account, to deal with this issue.
And a refund would be good, as I had no way of preventing my account going into the 12p a minute rate.
