Linksys WRT150N Riuter Unstable Connection

I have a WRT150N Wireless Router and my internet connection to my computer and laptop, which are both using wireless receivers, are VERY unstable. I am constantly losing connection to these two computers. Sometimes it lets me reconnect to my network but other times it doesnt. Any solutions?

Try resetting & reconfiguring the router ... also check if any upgrade for firmware on linksys website available or not ... After upgrade ... reset & reconfigure the router ....

Linksys WRT150N on all Apple network

OK...Here's what's happening.
I have a WRT150N that I've had for several years connected to an older Linksys cable modem. On the network is a Power Mac G4, a 20" iMac, a 13" Aluminum Unibody Macbook, a Netgear ReadyNAS Duo, a Linksys print server, two iPhone 4, an Apple TV 2, an iPad and an iPad 2.
I recently went wireless on all the computers except the G4. The problem is a couple things I have noticed. 1) The iMac seems to lose connection to the router when it comes out of sleep. Restarting the browser 3-4 times brings it back. 2) I use an iPad for music at night on the opposite side of the house from the router. Now I always have a full bar antenna but at some point in the night, the iPad stops playing. At first I was using my Pandora One account and thought maybe they were doing some kind of maintenace and booting me off, or possibly my ISP was. And always a full bar antenna. I was getting this with my old iPhone 3g but thought maybe it was an issue with the iOS on the phone.
So to test a theory, I set up a playlist from iTunes on the iMac (now obviously using ONLY the WiFi in my house) and it does the same thing. Last night when I woke and found it silent, I got up and woke up the iPad and found it scanning from song to song like it couldn't find a song so it moved to the next and so on. I hit pause, then play with the same result. I fully closed the iPod app and restarted and back in business. Mind you when this happened last night with the iPod app on ONLY WiFi, I still showed a full bar antenna. (on a side note, the Apple TV has acted weird several times while streaming or actually playing a movie)
Last Saturday I tested the iPad and Pandora at 3pm till 11:30pm with not one single issue. That night before bed, I stopped the app, restarted so to reset the listen timer from Pandora (I have read there is one) and right on schedule in the wee hours, silence.
I have read many things on the net about Linksys routers randomly dropping connections. Could this be what I am seeing and if so, why does it happen in the wee hours when we are sleeping?
I am seriously thinking about getting an Airport Extreme to see if it eliminates the issue.
Lastly, I have checked iStumbler and no one in my area has close to my channel so interference from another WiFi seems unlikley.

I think the wireless connection might be dropping on the router. Does this happen on any wired computer/device?
Try changing some wireless settings on the router and see if that works.
Connect the computer to the router with the Ethernet cable. open the setup page of the router and go to Wireless tab. Change the wireless channel to 11. Save the settings.
Go to Advanced wireless settings. Change the beacon interval to 75, RTS and fragmentation threshold to 2304. Save the settings.
Power cycle the router and try to connect to the wireless network again.
Make sure that firmware on your router is updated.

Linksys WRT150N router

I have a Linksys WRT150N router. My OS is win XP pro. The Easy Link Advisor keeps telling me during setup that I am not connected to the Internet on my desk top computer. However my desktop is connected to the Internet as well as my wireless laptop both through the WRT150N router. I unstalled the Easy Link Advisor, cleaned the register of all Linksys keys and reinstalled the Easy Link Advisor. The installation is complete. The Easy Link Advisor is ready for the setup on my desk top computer. When I go through the setup process with my fire wall turned off the end result is that I am not connected to the internet. I know that I am and using the internet right now. Help!!!!!!
Solved!

Do not use the EasyLink Advisor to setup the router...Open the router setup page by typing 192.168.1.1 in the address bar.Now,configure the router.

Airport Express, Linksys WRT150N Router, Windows Vista - Scene Two

I hate to post again, but I am hoping someone can clue me in on what's going on with my Airport Express. This is my second post, as I thought it started working on its own the last time I posted, which was just three days ago.
I have read all over this dicussion group,and I think I've tried everything mentioned here, and under the sun. I have mine set up to JOIN my existing network only to let me play iTunes over my stereo.
Sunday I finally got my Airport Express to communicate with my computer. After an hour, I shut down my computer and went to bed.
Monday, I had to reset the Express to get it to start communicating again. Changed my Router to Channel 11
Tuesday, I had to reset the Express to get to start communicating again. But, it would cut in and out continuously. I changed my router settings again, and it started working.
Tonight, I turned on my computer, and the AE showed up as still being connected. I started to play iTunes over my stereo, and about 5 minutes later, it all stopped. I unplugged the AE to reset it, and it once again started working, and has been for about 15 minutes while I am typing this out.
Why does this small device cause so much trouble, and am I setting this up wrong? Here is how things are configured right now, and I am hoping someone can tell me what I've done, am doing, wrong.
Computer Details:
I have a Gateway FX530 running Windows Vista. I have set up a wireless network using a LinkSys WRT150N router which also shares my DSL connection. Using my laptop, the wireless system works great.
Linksys Wireless settings:
Wireless mode - bgn
Connection Type - dhcp
Radio Band - Wide 40 MHz channel ( I had to set it here for my laptop to work)
Wide Channel - 3
Standard Channel - 1 - 2.412 GHz.
(Monday it was working on Wide Channel 9, Std Channel 11)
Security Mode - WPA2
Encryption - TKIP or AES
Key Renewal 3600 Seconds
Beacon Interval - 100ms
DTIM Interval 1
Fragmentaion Threshold - 2346
RTS Threshold - 2347
Airport Express Settings:
IP Manually set to 192.168.0.104
Running version 7.3.1
Set to JOIN a Wireless Netowrk
Security WPA2 Personal
Channel: 1(Automatic)
Allow Ethernet clients is NOT checked.

Here is the absolute guaranteed way (that probably won't work for anyone else) to solve how to connect the Airport Express to a non Apple router to a non Apple computer. I will probably jinx myself upon hitting the Post Message button, but here goes.
Step 1: Spend countless hours trying to use the Utility to configure the device. This must be done over a course of 5 days. If you have small children, I would suggest doing this behind a closed door where all the swearing can go unheard.
Step 2: Read every possible thread here on the Discussions group trying every possible suggestion known to mankind.
Step 3: Post at least two threads yourself asking why nothing works. Mark the first thread as 'Answered' within 90 minutes of posting when the AE decides to work for longer than 5 minutes.
Step 4: On the 6th day, take the device back to the Apple store and have them verify the device actually works and that you are not going absolutely insane. Know that they will be testing this device from an Apple Computer thru an Apple router.
Step 5: Wait for the call, which you know is coming, that the device works perfectly for them, and that they can not find anything wrong at all.
Step 6: Feeling like all is lost, you retrieve the device from the Apple store and have the Tech person tell you 'Good Luck'. Yeah, that helps.
Step 7: Connect the device back to your system, program as required and connect to your stereo.
Step 8: Start up iTunes and enjoy endless hours of music.
Step 9: Now this is the crucial part. You sit and wonder WHY it all of a sudden starts working after you bring it in to 'be looked at'. You do exactly the same thing programming it as you did from the first 'out of box' scenerio, having changed nothing to the router settings that didn't work the last time before you brought it back to Apple Store.
Step 10: And in the spirt of the Apple Tech..... "Good Luck"

Can't find Network using a Linksys WUSB54G Wireless-G USB Adapter with a linksys WRT150N router????

Hello.....I just recently bought a linksys WRT150N router and am having problems connecting a computer that uses a Linksys WUSB54G Wireless-G USB Adapter. This computer's operating system is windows 2000 and it cannot find the network I setup.....Even when I double checked that the router was in mixed mode.....Can anybody help?

I am having a similar problem with my WUSB54GC adapter connecting to my WRT54G router 100 feet away with only a single stud wall in between. Sometimes the computer connects automatically and sometimes I have to restart windows or use the repair connection wizard to get the computer to connect. Using Windows XP and Mixed infrastructure network with SSID broadcasting disabled.

Transfer rate between PC and Mac painfully slow! Linksys WRT150N

Hey everyone, I have my new Macbook Pro wirelessly connected to my Linksys WRT150N, while my PC (running Windows XP SP3) is connected through wired.
I originally had dd-wrt on the router, but took it off due to the signal would randomly drop. Now that I have the original firmware back installed, the transfer rate is painfully slow. Just trying to transfer any type of media it goes about a MB per min.
Is there anything I can try to change on my Mac or my router?

This is what you are after I think....

"unstable connection" when using my External Bluray burner!

I have a Mac Pro Quad (2008)and a Pioneer bdr-205bk in an external caddie.
I have a connection from one of the hidden internal SATA ports mounted as eSATA on the rear of the tower. My bluray burner has two methods of connection - usb and esata.
In both modes the drive works fine, reading and playing films. When I try to burn I get an unstable connection error and the drive stops responding. I have no idea whats going on!
I am trying to burn with Toast v10 - which has bluray support. As I mentioned prior to burning, the drive shows up as expected and all seems well.
I am running OS X 10.5 - latest patch...
Please can someone offer some advice....

I have heard of ppl this error in SL and running old versions of toast...but looks like you don't have either of those issues!
have you tried burning a regular DVD with finder? same results? Do you only get the error when trying to burn bluray in toast?
when I installed my BD i had issues with the drive not responding, if I restarted the drive would work again, then stop responding again after about 5-10 minutes.
To fix that issue I went to sys prefs > energy saver > and unchecked put hard disk(s) to sleep when possible.

Linksys WRT150N

I currently have my Linksys WRT150N wireless router and DSL modem hooked into my desktop computer. I also have set up a wireless network so I can access the internet on two laptops. I now want to get rid of my desktop pc...can I do this, or does my router have to be hooked up to it?

Yes you can disconnect the Desktop if you do not want to use it for the Internet ,
As your router is configured you will be able to access the Internet on your other computers .

Linksys AE6000 Unstable Connection

Hi All,
I appreciate any help that can be provided, I've exhausted all options i can think of.
THE ISSUE
After recently upgrading my broadband to Virgin Media Fibre, I received a Super Hub 2 and Purchased 2 Linksys AE6000 Wifi adapters For My 2 Desktop PCs. While 1 Works fine, My Main PC Is Experiencing Very Unstable Internet Connectivity.
When Connecting To 5G/2G, Sharing Centre shows Connection To Hub ok But a fault from hub to internet.
Using The CD (Drivers are the same version as on their website), it finds and install the adpter ok, says "Connected but unable to verify connection to the internet."
can sometimes access pingtest.net which either hangs turing test, displays errors or reports a grade "F" line
On the other computer, its grade A results.
Try to download something beyond 1 MB and it fails (Tried with adobe flash player and java)
After 1-2 Minutes Of being Connected, Sharing Centre reports No Problems
Device Manager reports no problems
Diagnostics:
Tried With A fresh Install Of Genuine Windows (See Below For Specs). Fully Updated And Activated. All Drivers Installed And Nothing Else. Issue Not Fixed
Tried Swapping Dongles (I Have 2). Issue Still There (Issue Not With Dongle)
Tested Router With Different Portable Devices and Nearby Computer. Works OK.
Tried Changing Wireless Channels. Not Fixed
Restarting and Resetting The Router. Not Fixed
Tried Driver From The Website, Not Fixed
Tethered To Phone On 3G. Managed To Get Connected But With Grade F Line and <1Kb Speed (Phone Internet Is Fine)
Tried Different USB Ports / Reinstalled USB Drivers (USB 2 & 3). Not Fixed
Tried With Chrome. Not Fixed
Lowered Security Settings. Not Fixed
Physically Moved The Tower Closer To Teh Router (1Meter From The Router). Not Fixed.
My Specs:
Gigabyte Z77MX-D3H Motherboard
Core i7 3770 Processor
8GB DDR3 1600MHz RipjawsX Memory
Nvidia GTX660TI Graphics Card
260GB Force 3 Series SSD
2 x 500GB Seagate HDD's Raided to 1TB
Windows 7 Professional X64 Genuine
Microsoft Security Essentials With Windows Firewall (MSE Not Currently Installed)
Thats just about all i can think of at rate. If theres anything else that i think of in the mean time, i'll add it. I spoke to linksys tech support who basically ruled that the dongle can see networks and issue is with the PC so couldn't help further (Understandably).
I purchased this dongle as i need to connect to the 5G about 5 meters away and up one floor (Router one end of the house, my PC the other) but even moving very close to the router doesnt help.
Please provide any assistance you can think of because i'm at my wits end and have wasted an entire weekend trying to resolve this. Thank You

EA3500 unstable connectivity

bought the Router in Aug 2014.
It was good at the begining, then I found some unstablity - sometimes pinging the router 192.168.1.1 would see hundreds ms reponse time. That's when my connectivity drops and interenet speed gets slow.
It doesn't happen often, but once or twice a week. still annoying though.
I wonder if that's channel interference by other Wi-Fi siginals around my neighborhood. (I live in an apartment so many wifi signals around).
Solved!
Go to Solution.

That can also be a sign of high bandwidth usage. Did you ask other users what they were up to on the net at the time?
The EA3500 doesn't have nearly as much memory and processing power as newer routers these days.
Please remember to Kudo those that help you.

WRT150N unable to connect to internet!

My uncle gave me a brand new wireless internet router WRT150N. When setting it up, I get all the way to Step 11, when I get a window that pops up and tells me my router cannot connect to my internet. It then says to turn my modem on and off and retry. First of all, my moden doesn't have an on or off button, so I just unplugged it and plugged it back in. Nothing happened. I called the Linksys number, and the guy made me do this whole thing just to tell me information I already knew (what my IP address was on my computer, and what the IP address of my modem (or router, can't remember which it is) which is 192.168.1.101) On Step 10, I entered the IP 192169.1.101 and it did not work. The man on the phone then tells me how my warranty is expired, and that I need to pay 29.99 in order for him to set it up on the phone. I said no, he said then do it yourself and hung up. Very rude, leaving me with apsolutely no idea what to do or what's wrong. I've tried just about everything. Resetting it, turning it on and off, entering my computer IP, nothing is working! It still won't connect to the internet! And BTW, when on Step 11, I don't get internet (like if I try to open Explorer, the page is unvailable).
PLEASE HELP! What do I do to get it to connect and work!?

Solved!
Go to Solution.

1) I'm not exactly sure what my ISP is. My address type is assigned by DHCP and my internet is LAC (Local Area Connection)
2) This is the thing, there IS NO MODEL NUMBER. The router model is simply tht, WRT150N. There's not Version or anything like that (I established this with the guy on the phone).
3) I did it, and the IP address I got is the IP address I use to have working internet. Though, when connecting the router to the modem, the IP address is 192.168. etc.

Linksys Router - Seriously Unstable

I have never been so disappointed in a company! Our Linksys router died and we decided to buy the new one coming out in a week or so. In the interim we borrowed a Linksys wireless router, the wireless connection is seriously unstable, I called tech support to get help with the settings (it is a settings issue) My options are to spend $30 or to buy the new router that we WERE planning to buy next week for DOUBLE the price at New Egg or Amazon. Now we are rethinking buying anything Linksys! So much for customer loyalty! Now I have to live with no internet for who knows how long, we are researching other wireless router companies.
I did not receive a case number, I was told I had to pay $30 to receive any help or buy the new router and when I asked the price of the new router, it was double what Amazon and New Egg had it for. I have updated the firmware on the routerand I am sure the instability is due to settings within the router, all I wanted was some help with the setting so my wireless network was stable. I am just very disappointed that you do not support your product.

It is sad to note of the experience that you went thru. But we know that different companies have different protocols to follow. There are many ways to get the information that we need if we need to troubleshoot our routers concern. Good thing with cisco is they have a knowledgebase site that allows us to get information for free and the steps provided have been proven to work. That's one avenue that we can look into. It is amazing that other websites are able to offer lower prices for routers but it has been one of my experience that when I went thru cisco's online store they do offer good deals as well. So it might be one website could be offering a promo and the others are not.

QaaWS-swf in InfoView: unstable connection

Hallo,
we designed a dashboard using QaaWS to connect to live data. On a local machine, the Xcelsius-swf works fine. Once I publish it to InfoView and open it online, the connection seems to be "unstable"? After several minutes (2 to 3) when I navigate the dashboard so the QaaWS has to refresh the data, I get the following error message for each QaaWS:
soapenv:Server.generalException: Unable to reconnect to the CMS. The session has been logged off or has expired. (FWM 01002)
After closing the dashboard, InfoView also shows an error message:
An error has occurred: Unable to reconnect to the CMS. The session has been logged off or has expired. (FWM 01002)
The timeout is set to 20 minutes, so this should not be the problem. Also, when I navigate through WebI, the InfoView connection stays stable. The problem seems to occur only when swfs, using QaaWS are opened.
Any suggestions what to do to keep the connection alive would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Kevin,
I have been having touble with Xcelsius and had seen a similar error to this. I was accessing through BI Widgets and the application was shutting down. I was also getting the same error, but had assumed the problem was with my server.
We reinstalled and created a new BOE environment and created a simple qaaws application. This ran fine updating 12 times a minute. At this point I closed the issue I had raised with the SAP/BO, concentrating on the other issues.
However, after I recreated my original dashboard, I found the problem reoccurred. The default session timeout was 1 minute. What I found was that I could get around the problem by refreshing the qaaws query more frequently than that. As my data was only really updating every 15 minutes this resulted in a lot of unncessary queries to the database but at least the user was not seeing the error
I then looked at creating the query through live office, as I noticed the a second dashobard I had created with Live Office did not seem to be suffering the same problem. I was able to get this working without the session time out and the high number of database queries.
I realise these are more workarounds the fixes but I hope it helps
Regards
Alan

Linksys wireless slows gigabit-connected Mac

I have a gigabit-ethernet LAN connecting from my PowerMac running OSX 10.4.11 to a Dell XPS, a Mac 7600, and HP Laserjet 4200 printer. My cable modem connects to my PowerMac via built-in GBEthernet. IPNetRouter is normally my software router/firewall that connects to the rest of the LAN through a second GBEthernet card in the PowerMac. This wired LAN is very quick. Its only shortcoming is that the Internet connection to the PC and Mac7600 drops out several times a day and I have to disconnect the power on the modem to reset the network. I can live with that.
My problem today is that a new PC Laptop that is 802.11n wireless ready has been added to the mix. I'm a GBEthernet jock who knows virtually nothing about wireless communications. We're now using a Linksys 2.4Ghz wireless router that is 802.11g to connect to the PC laptop. To accomplish this, we have made the Linksys the router/firewall. The cable modem now connects directly to the Linksys WAN port. The Linksys also has four 10/100 Ethernet ports. One of these ports is connected to a GB Ethernet port on an 8 port Netgear GBEthernet switch that connects to the rest of the LAN. All cables are Monster cables Cat 6. My PowerMac, which previously was the gateway/firewall machine, is now connected via its built-in GBEthernet port directly to the Netgear LAN switch. The PowerMac's second Ethernet card and software router are turned off and disconnected from the network.
This works fine. The Dell XPS ethernet connection is fast enough, but not as fast as when it was getting its signals via GB Ethernet. What does NOT work fine is my PowerMac's Internet connection. It is as slow as a telephone connection or worse. I was hoping for Ethernet 10/100 speed, but I'm not getting it.
Now for the questions: If I replace the Linksys with an Airport Extreme base station (that has a GB Ethernet WAN port and internal switch instead of the LInksys' 10/100 WAN port and internal switch) is my Internet performance on the PowerMac likely to improve? Does anyone know why I'm getting such slow Internet access with the current configuration? Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Can you access the Internet if you connect your Mac, via an ethernet cable, to one of your Linksys router's LAN ports instead of wireless? Be sure to turn off the Airport card on your Mac and setup your Built-in Ethernet.
You access your network settings as follows: System Preferences > Network > Show > Network Status > Built-in Ethernet > Configure > TCP/IP
If your router is providing DHCP service (default), then the following values (or close approximate) should display on the TCP/IP tab:
Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
IP Address: 192.168.1.n
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Router: 192.168.1.1
If the IP address reads something like 169.n.n.n, then your Mac is not getting the DHCP private addresses. If this is the case, try clicking on "Renew DHCP Lease" to see if your Mac get assigned a proper address.
