Linksys WRT110 Wireless Dropping

Hi,
I'm having a really frustrating problem and would be really grateful for some assistence:
Set up:
Router: WRT110
1 computer connected via ethernet cable
1 computer using a wireless nic card from cisco
The problem is thus: if the first computer is actively using the internet (even activities as mundane as browsing one's email) the computer connected wirelessly will lose its connection to the internet yet maintain its connection to the router. Both can be actively using the internet, but the wireless will seemingly at random drop internet access (usually in 30-120 minute intervals).
The computer connected via the ethernet cable was unplugged for a week and during that time the wirelessly connected computer was used extensively and did not lose connection once.
I don't understand how to even frame this problem in a concise manner, much less seek information as to how to resolve it. It's seemingly giving all priority to the computer connected via ethernet but I that's just intution speaking.
Thanks for your time,
Daniel

On all your Win 7 computers, disable IPv6 under LAN properties for both wired and wireless adapters, reboot.
In the router disable UPnP.  Under wireless settings Beacon Interval 50, RTS and Fragmentation threshold 2304.  Set to channel 1.  Save settings.  Now try.

  • Linksys WRT110 Wireless Router

    I need to setup my Linksys WRT110 wireless router for  wireless use as well as a router between my cable modem and my desktop PC. So far, I cannot find any documentation on how this is done or if it is possible at all. When I called Linksys support they told me it can be done and provided me with a link to the instructions, however, they did not work. Does anyone know if this is possible? I need to setup in order to work from home and I cannot use a wireless connection to my cable modem but I need a router between my desktop PC and my cable modem. Oh, by the way, I have a new HP desktop which is running Windows 7.  I would appreciate any help someone can lend me.  Thank you. SHH

    From what i read on your post looks like your trying to use your wrt110 as a wireless access point and you want to still use your router near your modem.
    To do this what you have to do is disable your wrt110 as a dhcp server since your other router near your is acting as the dhcp server.
    So what you do is hook a cable to your wrt110 in port 1. type in 192.168.1.1 in the address bar of your internet explorer.For now this 192.168.1.1 number will get you into the wrt110 until you change it to 192.168.1.5  under setup you will see 2 areas. Under the ip address type in 192.168.1.5 so this make your wrt110 have this ip address.
    Below that you will see DHCP server setting disable this. So your wrt110 will not act as the dhcp server it will act as a wireless access point.
    Now if you type 192.168.1.1 in your web brower that will open the configuration screen of the router next to your modem. Which that dchp server setting will be enabled.
    So basically from your modem your first router will route the signal from the modem thru the router to the computers hooked to it. then say you run a cable from that router to the wrt110.So basically your just uplinking to the wrt110. only thing is your wrt110 will have to act as a access point instead of a router.
    Your main router configuration screen to get into it. you would type 192.168.1.1 in your brower after you setup your wrt110 an disable the dhcp server and set the ip to 192.168.1.5 when you type this number  the 105 number in your browser it will go into the web config screen of the wrt110
    So to access the web config screens of both routers they will have different numbers.
    1st router by your modem will be 192.168.1.1
    2nd wirless one will be 192.168.1.5 which you changed when you when in and disable it as a dhcp server since your 1st router by your modem acts as the dhcp server.
    Hopefully this will help. I know it does get a little confusing been there and done that more then once.  If not call linksys on the phone tell them what products you have and how you want it to work they will walk you thru it.
    My setup in my home from my modem it connects to a 4 port router, then from there to a 24 port switch then uplinks with a Power over Ethernet adapter which sends power thru this little adapter over the brown pair in the cable so you dont need a electrical outlet where you put your wireless access point/router. Then from my switch it uplinks with that POE to a Wrt110 upstairs in my home. I know what a pain this can be i've call them more then once to get mine setup and working.
    GOOD LUCK HOPE THIS HELPS

  • WRT110 wireless printer connection to Brother HL-2170W wireless printer

    New here and I have a question.
    I have Linksys WRT110 wireless router that works great. I have 7 notebooks working very well. Assignment were done with WEP connection and made sure that all the MAC addresses are registered and limits that router to recognize only computers with such MAC addresses... no problems at al here.
    Recently I bought Brother HL-2170W wireless printer... followed all the instructions in their manual, registered its MAC address in my router, provided WEP key to the printer (via their web browser utility)... and this is where the brain fart started...
    I can ping to my router just fine... I can ping the printer from the router just fine... however, I can not get the printer to work with any of my notebooks... It works fine if I connect it via USB or Ethernet connections, but nothing on the wireless side..
    I know the IP address that this printer was assigned via DHCP... When I programmed the printer with the correct IP address, it also points to port number 9100... and this is where it falls apart...
    Can someone please tell me what am I doing wrong or better yet, what step am I missing?
    Thank you in advance!

    You said "I know the IP address that this printer was assigned via DHCP... When I programmed the printer with the correct IP address, it also points to port number 9100...".
    When you programmed the printer, do you mean that you entered the DHCP assigned address directly into the printer, so the printer could use it as a fixed (static) LAN IP address?  If so, this might be the cause for your problem.  When you manually assign an IP address to a printer (or other network device), by entering that address directly into the printer, then you must use an IP address that is outside the DHCP server range.  See "Using Static LAN IP addresses" below, for more info on this topic.
    Additionally, to get your printer to work, you must install the network printer drivers on each computer that will use that printer.
    Additionally, for WEP, you must enter WEP "key 1"  (found in the router)  into your printer, not the WEP password or passphrase.
    *****   Using Static LAN IP addresses   *****
    Linksys has several rules for using fixed (static) LAN IP addresses.  You must follow these rules carefully.
    Rules for using fixed LAN IP addresses on Linksys routers:
    With Linksys routers, a fixed (static) LAN IP addresses must be assigned in the device that is using the address. So you need to enter the fixed address in the computer or printer, not in the router.
    When using a Linksys router, any fixed LAN IP address must be outside the DHCP server range (typically 192.168.1.100 thru 192.168.1.149), and it cannot end in 0, 1, or 255.
    Therefore any fixed LAN IP address would normally need to be in the range of
    192.168.1.2 thru 192.168.1.99 or
    192.168.1.150 thru 192.168.1.254
    assuming you are still using the default DHCP server range.
    Also, in the computer, when you set up a static LAN IP address, you would need to set the "Subnet mask" to 255.255.255.0 and the "Default Gateway" to 192.168.1.1 and "DNS server" to 192.168.1.1
    It is also important that no two devices on your network be set to the same static LAN IP address.

  • New Toshiba wireless turns Internet connection off (thru Linksys WRT110)

    I "commissioned" a new Toshiba A660 (customized) yesterday. We have a DSL line with Motorola modem and Cisco Linksys WRT110 router with one Cat5-connect.  For a brief period the Toshiba could access the Internet thru the wireless (I registered the computer and the Norton AntiVirus.) Subsequently I "activated" or allowed the Toshiba to self-install Bluetooth (built in, but, it appears, not listed in the device manager).
    Before the afternoon was over I found that the Toshiba, with WiFi antenna "on" effectively killed my Internet connection.  My Dell, which was hardwired thru the Cisco could not get to the Internet; my Mac, which works wirelessly, could not access the Internet.  When I turn the Toshiba's wireless antenna OFF, Internet access to the other two computers is restored within 45-60 seconds. This situation persisted after a "Restore to Factory" procedure this morning, where the Toshiba killed our Internet access during or shortly after the "configuring the desktop" portion of the hour-long restoration.
    Another call to, and call-back from, Toshiba tech support resulted in their suggestions that 1) I should see if my computer crashes someone else's Internet connection and 2) that it must be the Cisco.
    The Toshiba behaves itself when connected to the Cisco via Cat5 (as long as the wireless antenna is not turned on).
    So, Cisco, Do I need a router upgrade to keep the Toshiba from killing my Internet connection?

    Solved!

    If your new computer is running windows 7, disable IPv6 under LAN properties for both the wired and wireless adapters.  Reboot computer and connect again.

  • Connecting to a Linksys WRT110

    I just purchased a Mac Book Pro running Mac OS X 10.6 and am trying to connect it to my wireless network. I have a Linksys WRT110 router with version 1.0.03 firmware running WPA2 Personal TKIP or AES encryption. When trying to connect from my Mac, I get an "Invalid Password" error. I've entered and re-entered the password several times to no avail. Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Thanks Sig..wish I could say that solved it, but I'm still getting the "Invalid Password" error. I'm using a 63 character ASCII password with WPA2 personal. I saw some info in other posts about using the $ sign for hex passwords with WEP and enclosing ASCII passwords in quotes for WEP as well. I tried the quotes with my WPA2 password and it would not even let me save the password.
    Any other thoughts?
    Thanks

  • Rapidshare link not working with WRT110 wireless router

    I am trying to download using rapidshare but after the countdown timer reaches zero and the download link button appears, i couldn't get the link for the download file. This happens when i am wireless but when i connect my laptop directly to the linksys WRT110 router via LAN cable, i can get the link for the download file without problems.
    What settings do i need to do to fix this?  The rapidshare says it might be due to a rotating IP address or something. Only the rapidshare website is having this problem, other downloading sites doesn't seem to have this problem.
    i am using a WRT110 router, with no security, on a wireless connection on my laptop on windows vista, using firefox.

    Tried Internet Explorer 7, its the same problem. it still takes some time before i can get the link for the download file. Although i sometimes can get it faster with IE than with firefox.
    Any solutions to this problem? I still thinking its the Routers configuration that has to be modified to solve this problem.

  • Linksys wrt54gs randomly dropping connection

    I have a linksys wrt54gs wireless g router. it just started dropping connection randomly. I was playin xbox live one day, and i lagged out. noticed pc internet was gone too.... so whats causing this? i just updated FW as well. i have the xbox and my pc connected wired. PC in the other room wireless, but doesnt work, hasn tworked fo rlong time. shows its connected, but no interent access...
    anywasy main problem righ now is it dropping all connections at random times. i'll unplug and replug teh router and modem back in, it'll work for a lil bit, but on xbox live, it lags out and disconnect sin a few minutes

    As you upgraded the router's firmware,I would suggest you to reset the router and reconfigure all the settings from the scratch....

    Change the Beacon Interval to 75,Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 and Click on Save Settings...Now,power cycle the router and check...

  • Unable to connect to home network using a Linksys WRT110 router

    I recently had to upgrade from a Linksys G router to a new router--the Linksys WRT110.  I was able to connect to the WiFi using my Palm TX prior to doing a firmware update to the Linksys WRT110.  Now, my Palm TX doesn't even recognize that there is a network.  I put the network name in manually and it still won't connect.  I don't know what else to do!  Incidentally, my home computer and my laptop connect to the router wirelessly just fine.  I appreciate any help that i can get to enable me to use my WiFi on my Palm TX at home.
    Thanks.

  • Encrypting my linksys WRT110

  • Linksys WRT110 keeps disconnecting

    I have a Linksys WRT110 and it worked fine for about the first year or so, but recently it has been intermittenly droping the signal to the point of no connection at all. Is there an update or anything I can do about this? I contacted tech support, and conveniently since my warranty is up I have to pay for their help with this...
    (Mod note: Off topic remarks removed. Thanks!)

    It would drop it when I was using my iPhone and when my wife used her laptop. It was very intermittent and never stayed offline for the same amount of time. Sometimes it would be less than a minute, sometimes more. Occasionally I had to turn wifi off on my phone, then turn it back on just to get the wifi going again.
    It was dropping the wired connection a few months back, but it got solved on here. Had to to a complete reset.

  • Is there a fix for the MBP wireless dropping issue?

    I began to experience the Macbook Pro dropping wireless connectivity on my very 1st Apple in 2008.  At the end of the day my machine was replaced with a new Macbook Pro mid 2010.  It appeared to be working just fine until about 2-3 months ago when I started dropping my wireless printer connection.  I searched the internet hoping for a driver update from HP or something from Apple and each time I found something, the problem still existed.  I even thought that by upgrading to Lion would resolve any issues that I have with my MBP wireless connectivity issue.  After upgrading to buying a new router, new printer and upgrading to Lion; the wireless dropping issue still remains unresolved!  I know there are several hundred in not thousands of people who are having the same problem so what are we supposed to do?
    When my 1st MBP was replaced in 2010 I had to stop working because I was diagnosed with "Failed Back Surgical Syndrome" and was in the process of applying for disability.  Something in the back of my mind said that I needed to purchase Apple Care for this new replacement however I had used all of my savings & retirement to sustain life for me and my family that there was nothing for Apple Care.  If it weren't for my church and family I am not sure what I would do during the 18 months of no income while waiting for a decision only to receive an appeal until I findly stood in front of an Administrative Law Judge who heard my case and granted me disability.  Besides there was no way I could ask anyone for money to purchase a warranty for a top of the line laptop while the country was falling off an economical cliff.
    I broke down and called Apple Support and was told that I qualified for technical assistance regarding the upgrade to Lion a few weeks ago.  The tech on the phone had me run some disk utility tests and had me repair permissions which she said could be the cause of the problem.  I willingly went along with her in hopes that this was indeed the fix.  However, within 10 minutes of hanging up the phone my MBP began to drop it's wireless connection to my new HP printer and also the Internet.  Hence my question above is what I am really looking to have answered!  What is the fix to this problem that so many people are having issues with?  I couldn't afford to purchase Apple Care back in 2010 and I can't afford to purchase a new 2011 machine today if that truly is the fix!
    I will be disabled for the remainder of my life and I have grown dependent upon my computer to stay in touch with friends and colleges from work.  I worked for the IT Group at Wynn Resorts and I can say that the type of service Appple is providing it's customers is not what I learned over the past 25 years with Mr. Wynn.  Why can't Apple get the simple concept that it's customers are it's life line and keeps them in business.  I need help and I don't know what to do nor where to turn.  It would be different if Apple acknowledged the issue and said they were working on it however they aren't.  I plead to Apple to help me fix my notebook so I can stay connected to the outside world vs. couped up inside my home.
    Best Regards,
    Scott Leavitt

    I am simply lookig for some help not an argument.  I am not an RF specialist however have setup a few wireless networks in my tenure at Wynn Resorts.  I fully agree that wireless networking is an art and a science however the powers that be in Network Land have toughted wireless networking is the easiest and quickest way to get two computers to talk with one another.  As I previously said I have already turned one (1) MBP in for this problem and Apple decided to replace it because they could not fix the problem with my particular MBP.  This MBP was running Leopard when the problems started
    I am having a hard time believeing that there are several other devicces in my home that depend on a wireless network to operate and my MBP is the only one having an issue.  I took this a step further and decided to see what would happen if I tried to connect wirelessly via Fusion.  In Windows 7 I am able to print and scan to my hearts content without any issues.  I am able to browse the internet as much as I want.  I close Fusion and try to connect to my printer via wireless and nothing.
    In order to get Apple to help do I need to get a Network Analyzer and capture packets when I have these problems?  Out of the 1000 + posts is there a consolidation of which answer is the best?  BTW I am accessing the internet via a wireless connection using Fusion and Windows 7.
    In response to Linc's comments, I will look at the router specifications however I did not qualify that these devices are not using the wireless connection at the same time.  Right now I would guess there are maybe two (2) or three (3) at the most that are actively transmitting / receiving information. --  Thanks

    Hi,
    I just bought a linksys WRT54G Wireless Router. My laptop was able to detect it wirelessly untill I changing the "Router Name" in the setup page(http://192.168.1.1)
    While saving the settings, the wireless network suddently disconnected. From that point onwards, I was not able to detect the wireless network with any computer at all.
    I tried unplugging it, resetting it, and even restory factory settings by holding the reset button for aprox 30 secs.
    What is wrong?
    Thanks in Advanced

    Recheck the wireless setting (SSID, encryption, DHCP, etc) on router management page again. Also make sure your computer's wireless adapter setting matches the one you set on router.

  • Linksys WRT54G Wireless-G Router Not working

    I have a Linksys WRT54G Wireless-G Router and it has worked good for a couple months and yesterday it stopped. When I plug it in all the lights are lit even though there arent any ethernet cables connected and the power light blinks constantly. I tried holding the reset button on the back and it didnt help. Anyone know whats wrong or anything I can try to fix it?

    You need to try again to reset the router to factory defaults.
    To reset your router to factory defaults, use the following procedure:
    1) Power down all computers, the router, and the modem, and unplug them from the wall.
    2) Disconnect all wires from the router.
    3) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
    4) Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release it, then let the router reset and reboot (2-3 minutes).
    5) Power down the router.
    6) Connect one computer by wire to port 1 on the router (NOT to the internet port).
    7) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
    8) Power up the computer (if the computer has a wireless card, make sure it is off).
    9) Try to ping the router. To do this, click the "Start" button > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. A black DOS box will appear. Enter the following: "ping 192.168.1.1" (no quotes), and hit the Enter key. You will see 3 or 4 lines that start either with "Reply from ... " or "Request timed out." If you see "Reply from ...", your computer has found your router.
    10) Open your browser and point it to 192.168.1.1. This will take you to your router's login page. Leave the user name blank, and in the password field, enter "admin" (with no quotes). This will take you to your router setup page. Note the version number of your firmware (usually listed near upper right corner of screen). Exit your browser.
    If you get this far without problems, try the setup disk (or setup the router manually, if you prefer), and see if you can get your router setup and working.
    If you cannot get "Reply from ..." in step 9 above, your router is dead.
    If you get a reply in step 9, but cannot complete step 10, then either your router is dead or the firmware is corrupt. In this case, use the Linksys tftp.exe program to try to reload your router with the latest firmware. After reloading the firmware, repeat the above procedure starting with step 1.
    If you need additional help, please state your ISP, the make and model of your modem, your router's firmware version, and the results of steps 9 and 10. Also, if you get any error messages, copy them exactly and report back.
    Please let me know how things turn out for you.

  • Linksys WRT54GSV4 Wireless Router

    Hi
    I have a Linksys WRT54GSV4 Wireless Router with frimware version 1.06.1.
    I have a internet connection that can performe 100Mbit/s. But when i check my connection with "TP Test" I only get ~40Mbit/s. I do the test without the router and I get 80Mbit/s+.
    Why is that? How do I get the router to pass through the traffic at high speed?
    Thanks....

    I guess you should get the latest firmware 1.00.9
